为了创建准时的时间表，有必要精确计算和规划许多值，例如车站之间的运行时间、列车间隔、列车调度、机车车辆调度、司机和乘务员调度、车站和车辆段的运行调度以及线路/基础设施的容量。 在这些值中，必须首先计算站点之间的最短运行时间，因为这是时间表的基础。 本文件将参数描述为最短运行时间计算的要求，使铁路基础设施管理人员、铁路运营商和相关组织能够在制定可行且准时的每日和年度时间表的阶段计算准确的运行时间。 此外，当参数值发生变化时，本文件通过验证在计算的最短运行时间上观察到的响应，证明了计算的适当性。 本文件不包括用于时间表以外目的的运行时间计算。

In order to create punctual timetables, it is necessary to accurately calculate and plan out many values, such as running time between stations, headway between trains, train scheduling, rolling stock scheduling, driver and crew scheduling, operation scheduling in stations and depots and capacity of the line/infrastructure. Among these values, shortest running time between stations must be calculated first, as this is the basis of timetabling. This document describes parameters as the requirements for shortest running time calculation that enable railway infrastructure managers, railway operators and related organizations to calculate accurate running time at the stage of setting up a feasible and punctual daily and annual timetable. In addition, this document shows the appropriateness of calculation by verifying the response observed on the calculated shortest running time when the parameter values are changed. This document excludes running time calculation used for purposes other than timetabling.
