TIMETABLE STABILITY - USING SIMULATION TO ENSURE QUALITY IN A REGULAR INTERVAL TIMETABLE

Open publisher page 11 citations

Abstract

A regular interval timetable is characterized by train services that run in a fixed pattern about every 60 seconds. All trains of the pattern depart at the same station at the same minute during the day. To enable passengers to reach all stations that cannot be connected by direct trains there are connections between several services at network nodes, The connection times are often short, generally less than 8 minutes. There fore, there is a strong demand for an on-time running network. Otherwise, delays will be transferred between trains that do not interact directly or connections for passengers are lost.
