CZECH RAILWAYS AND HIGH-SPEED TRAFFIC Lecturer: Bohumil Pokorný České dráhy, a.s., www.cd.cz
EXISTING CONDITIONS The Czech Republic needs quality and fast railway traffic conection with the other countries in EU Existing lines have low technical parametres Heavy terrain conditions and high density of human places complicate building of new lines The building of new lines is very expensive and for the present is over finance possibility statewe understand the modernized corridor lines as branch lines connecting to present and futur European high-speed network 29.3.2006 Lódž 2
MODERNIZATION OF CZECH CORRIDOR LINES First step for substantial improvement of technical conditions and speed increase Modernization of four corridor lines shoud provide higher quality conection of the Czech Republic to the European rail network We understand the modernized corridor lines as branch lines connecting to present and futur European high-speed network 29.3.2006 Lódž 3

INTENT OF NEW HIGH-SPEED LINES IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC The second step after the modernisation of existing lines Mixed traffic with classic trains with locomotives and high-speed units Maximally utilisation of high-speed lines to serve the largest territory of the Czech Republic New high-speed lines with modernized lines will creat future basic network of very fast railway traffic in the Czech Republic 29.3.2006 Lódž 5

CONTEMPORERY SITUATION IN HS PROJECT IN CZECH REPUBLIC The study of high speed routes: (Dresden) Praha Brno (Wien) (Nürnberg) Praha Brno (Katowice) Common section Praha Brno Maximum speed 300 km/h Maximum radius of curves 5,100 m Maximum vertical distance of tracks 150 mm Maximum longitudinal gradient 12,5 promiles Passing longitudinal gradient 18,5 promiles 29.3.2006 Lódž 8
CONTEMPORERY SITUATION IN HS PROJECT IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC Maximum mass to axle 22,5 t Speed during the overtaking 100 km/h Speed during the turn to the existing line 130 km/h Electricity traction systém 25 kv/50 Hz Ministry of transport just has provided the protection of planed routes in planning documents in individuel separate territories 29.3.2006 Lódž 9

EUROPEAN HIGH-SPEED LINES LINES OF SUPRANATIONAL IMPORTANCE Economic criteria will meet only lines connecting places with high level transport flows formation Significance of high speed lines in Europe can t restrict only to a territory of one state European transport flows = > European high-speed lines Supranational importance lines => European financing Connection of Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, to European high-speed network meets required economic criteria Example for next progress could be the Thalys system 29.3.2006 Lódž 12
