Because of the long planning periods and their long life cycle, railway infrastructure has to be planned long ahead. Therefore, bottlenecks in the infrastructure have to be recognized at an early stage to initiate extension measures. At the present, the infrastructure is planned while only little about the intended operation is known. Hence, the timetable and the operation are adjusted to the infrastructure. Since space, time and money for extension measures of railway infrastructure are limited, each modification has to be done carefully and long lasting. To meet the customers’ future needs, infrastructural projects have to planned such that the infrastructure will be appropriate for the future unknown demand.In this project, a procedure for robust infrastructure planning is going to be developed. Based on a given vague timetable concept, infrastructural projects are going to be determined which meet the medium- and long-term requirements of the timetable concepts.
