Switzerland High-speed rail in Europe

sbb eurocity entering gotthard base tunnel


switzerland has no high-speed trains of own yet. french tgv (tgv lyria) , german ice lines extend switzerland, given dense rail traffic, short distances between swiss cities (because of country s small size) , difficult terrain, not attain speeds higher 200 km/h (ice3) or 160 km/h (tgv, ice1, ice2). fastest swiss trains icn tilting trains, operated swiss federal railways since may 2000. can reach higher speeds conventional trains on curve-intensive swiss network, top speed of 200 km/h can reached on high-speed lines. former cisalpino consortium owned swiss federal railways , trenitalia used pendolino tilting trains on 2 of international lines. these trains operated swiss federal railways , trenitalia.


to address transalpine freight , passenger bottlenecks on roads , railways, switzerland launched rail2000 , nrla projects. first stage of rail2000 project finished in 2005, included new high-speed rail track between bern , olten operating speed of 200 km/h. nrla project has built faster north-south rail tracks across swiss alps constructing base tunnels several hundred metres below level of old tunnels. 35 km lötschberg base tunnel opened in 2007 new pendolino trains run @ 250 km/h. 57 km gotthard base tunnel (top speed 250 km/h) opened in 2016. second stage of rail2000 includes line upgrades in canton valais (200 km/h) , between biel/bienne , solothurn (200 km/h). start of work planned 2012–2016.

1 camerini s algorithm undirected graphs 1.1 pseudocode 1.2 running time 1.3 example camerini s algorithm undirected graphs camerini proposed algorithm used obtain minimum bottleneck spanning tree (mbst) in given undirected, connected, edge-weighted graph in 1978. half divides edges 2 sets. weights of edges in 1 set no more in other. if spanning tree exists in subgraph composed solely edges in smaller edges set, computes mbst in subgraph, mbst of subgraph mbst of original graph. if spanning tree not exist, combines each disconnected component new super vertex, computes mbst in graph formed these super vertices , edges in larger edges set. forest in each disconnected component part of mbst in original graph. repeat process until 2 (super) vertices left in graph , single edge smallest weight between them added. mbst found consisting of edges found in previous steps. pseudocode the procedure has 2 input parameters. g graph, w weights array of edges in graph g. 1 function mbst(graph g, w
