This document recalls the main theoretical

methods for the calculation of the railway carrying capacity

and applies them to the Turin-Modane connection, along the

Turin-Lyon line. The same is then calculated - through a

trustworthy reconstruction of the line - by means of the Open

Track simulation software and assuming various traffic scenarios.

Finally, the attention is also focused on the comparison

of energy consumption between the two different tracks,

namely the historical line and the hypothetical new one.
