Abstract

This paper examines the measurement of freight train speeds as part of a broader study previously focused on passenger services. It outlines the applied methodology, highlights the main challenges encountered during data collection and processing, and presents the approaches adopted to address them. The direct measurements are further supported by validation through simulation.
