Train Consist Capacity Calculator
Total seats and planning places across multiple car types, then compare the consist with entered demand.
What would you like to do next?
Build capacity from the cars actually entered
List each car type with count, seats, standing places and a planning load percentage. The calculator multiplies capacity by car count, keeps seats separate and applies the row load factor to combined places. The full consist is then compared with entered peak-direction passenger demand.
Confirm the operational capacity definition
Approved standing density, accessibility spaces, unavailable areas, passenger distribution and comfort policy can change usable capacity. Platform length, traction, braking and vehicle compatibility also control whether a consist can operate. Use current rolling-stock data and approved engineering and service-planning rules before changing a train formation.
Frequently asked questions
Are seats reported separately?
Yes. Seat totals remain visible beside planning places.
Can car types use different load factors?
Yes. Every row carries its own entered planning percentage.
Does this approve a consist?
No. Infrastructure, vehicle and operating rules remain controlling.
