High performance track

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

High- speed lines are railway lines in Austria that have been declared as such by the federal government in accordance with Section 1 (1) of the High- Speed ​​Line Act (HlG). These routes must be of particular importance for efficient traffic with international connections or for local traffic . Both “existing” and “planned” railways (upgraded lines and new lines) and here again “lines or parts of lines” can be declared high-performance lines.

Draft ordinances that have as their object the declaration of a planned or existing railway as a high-speed line in accordance with § 1 HLG are in accordance with § 3 Paragraph 1 Z 1 lit a of the Federal Act on Strategic Assessment in the Transport Sector (SP-V Act, Federal Law Gazette I 2005/96 ) subject to a strategic environmental assessment .

Since no main line ordinance according to § 4 Paragraph 1 Z 2 Railway Act 1957 has been issued to date , the sum of the Austrian main lines results from the following 6 ordinances of the federal government according to § 1 High-Performance Lines Act:

6. High-performance route regulation (BGBl II 2018/36)

  • Vienna Central Station - Vienna Airport - Bruck an der Leitha.

The Austrian parts of the Trans-European Networks (TEN traffic) of the railway sector are also declared to be high-speed lines according to the High-Speed ​​Line Act (high-speed or conventional). But there are also some deviations.

In contrast to pure high-speed lines (HGV) for passenger traffic, conventional trains, including freight traffic, should also continue to be used on high-speed lines and enable mixed traffic .

The planning basis for the construction and expansion of high-performance lines is provided by the "Guidelines for the design of high-speed rail systems" ("HL guidelines") of the Austrian Federal Railways .
