This is a route-map template for the Madrid–Barcelona high-speed rail line, a railway in Spain.. For a key to symbols, see {{railway line legend}}.; For information on using this template, see Template:Routemap.
The Madrid–Barcelona high-speed rail line is a 621-kilometre (385.9 mi) standard gauge railway line inaugurated on 20 February 2008. Designed for speeds of 350 km/h (217.5 mph) and compatibility with neighbouring countries' rail systems, it connects the cities of Madrid and Barcelona in 2 hours 30 minutes.
To change this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used: {{Madrid–Barcelona high-speed rail line | state = collapsed}} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar. {{Madrid–Barcelona high-speed rail line | state = expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.
[41] [42] The connecting link was the construction of the 131-kilometre (81.4 mi) Barcelona–Figueres section of the Perpignan–Barcelona high-speed line, an extension of the Madrid–Barcelona line, completed in January 2013 at a cost of €3.7 billion.
The Madrid–Barcelona railway is the conventional railway line linking the Spanish capital Madrid with the country's second largest city of Barcelona, Catalonia.It now primarily serves local commuter rail services and regional traffic since the opening of the Madrid–Barcelona high-speed rail line in 2008, prior to which only 1.98 million annual passengers travelled between the two cities.
Following the opening of the AVE network, the classic Iberian gauge railways have lost importance in inter-city travel, for example, the Madrid–Barcelona railway takes over nine hours to travel between the two cities stopping at every station. With the Madrid–Barcelona high-speed rail line, the longest possible journey is just three hours. [12]
A time–distance diagram is a chart with two axes: one for time, the other for location. The units on either axis depend on the type of project: time can be expressed in minutes (for overnight construction of railroad modification projects such as the installation of switches) or years (for large construction projects); the location can be (kilo)meters, or other distinct units (such as ...
The primary data set used in cost distance analysis is the cost raster, sometimes called the cost-of-passage surface, [9] the friction image, [8] the cost-rate field, or cost surface. In most implementations, this is a raster grid , in which the value of each cell represents the cost (i.e., expended resources, such as time, money, or energy) of ...
