Abstract
The installation of a multifunctional railway portal (or TCCS – Train Conformity Check system) can contribute to improve the safety of a railway infrastructure. The TCCS can detect the conformity of the trains traveling along the tracks, and can transfer the status information to a main traffic control center. This paper proposes a methodological approach based on Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to evaluate the optimal locations to install a TCCS on a railway section. The eligibility and ranking of the potential sites have been defined with respect to constraints related to the rail line track layout and geometry, the TCCS technological features, and the required safety distance allowing the train to stop. The proposed approach has been applied to a real case study on the Italian railway.
