German term or phrase: Verdichtungen und Granularisierungen

In a text about train scheduling:

Ziele für analytische Methoden in der Fahrlagenplanung:
Die Fahrlagenplanung wird vermehrt analytische Arbeitsweisen in den Planungsprozess integrieren,
um schneller fundierte Aussagen zu Kosten- und Qualitätsauswirkungen machen zu können.
Dabei ist auf von außen zu liefernde Ist-Erkenntnisse und Kostensätze zurückzugreifen,
die das neue System so verwaltet, dass je nach Phase Verdichtungen und Granularisierungen
ermöglicht werden und Planungen jederzeit reproduzierbar und bewertbar sind.

compacted timetable (timing) and granularisations

Explanation:
The "Lexique général des termes ferroviaires" gives "recovery time" for "Entspannung eines Fahrplans" (détente dans la marche) and "timing with built-in recovery" for "entspannter Fahrplan" (marche détendue) as well as "strict running schedule, tight {close} timing" for "angespannte {gekürzte} Fahrzeit (horaire tendue; marche serrée)

Definition 4.1 (Granularität) Eine Granularität wird bestimmt durch eine Länge und einen Ausgangspunkt. Die Länge wie auch der Ausgangspunkt werden in Chronons der zugrundeliegenden Uhr angegeben.

(hier auf die Zeit bezogen)

The International Union of Railways proposes a new method that is included in the framework of the optimization methods (UIC, 2004), which is based on a timetable compaction method. By modifying the base timetable, existing train paths are scheduled as close as possible to each other. Modifying the travel times, the overtakings, the crossings, and the commercial stops is prohibited during the process of compaction.
