The essential components are described in further detail below. Capacity Strategy (X*-60 to X*-36 months):

• - is the long-term capacity planning of the IM for a certain infrastructure section, a part of the network or

entire network.

• - the main aim of the Capacity Strategy is to provide a first overview of available capacity on the

infrastructure in the future and of future Capacity Needs.

• - it enables the IM to share future Capacity Needs with neighbouring IMs and applicants and agree on the

main principles to be used for the Capacity Model construction. Capacity Model (X*-36 to X*-18 months) with Capacity Partitioning: It provides an overview of available capacity, and includes:

• - the Capacity Restrictions affecting the relevant sections during the intended timetable;
• - the capacity intended for allocation by traffic types for the Annual Timetable;
• - the multiannual Rolling Planning;
• - the capacity for Ad-hoc Requests and the Reserve Capacity.

The main benefits of a Capacity Model are, firstly, transparency in capacity usage and, secondly, the early detection of potential capacity conflicts and blockages, thus offering more time to take action. International alignment on TCRs:

• - TCRs may occur in case of maintenance, modernization, or building of new infrastructures, and have an

impact on the available capacity. Depending on the duration and impact on the traffic, they are divided into TCRs with major, high, medium and minor impact, as well as other restrictions. TCRs are necessary to keep the infrastructure and its equipment within the designed parameters, and to allow infrastructure development in accordance with the transport market needs. Feasibility Studies are requested by the Applicants to get information on the feasibility of a request before submitting it to the Infrastructure Manager.
