Abstract: In order to strengthen the Orient/East-Med (OEM) Corridor by the means of railway transport, certain measures are necessary. Considering the insights gained from planning and developing the concept of transalpine railway transport in Switzerland, the future capacity of the corridor and plans for the required expansions in time are proposed. This primarily requires the definition of the assumed services and thereafter a determination of the capacities of the sectors in order to define the required expansions. The project should function as a continuous railway network spanning across many country borders so that not much time is lost at border-crossings.
