Railway Timetable & Traffic

Analysis - Modelling - Simulation


Editors: Ingo Arne Hansen - Jrn Pachl
The performance of many railway networks and the quality of services offered is becoming more and more
critical. The main issues are the increasing traffi c volumes, making the best use of the capacity which can be
made available and resolving the priorities for its use.
This book describes current state-of-the-art methods of railway timetabling, operations analysis and modelling,
simulation, and traffi c management. The intention is to stimulate their broader application in practice and to
identify areas where further research is needed. It is directed primarily at academics, Masters and PhD students
and professionals from the railway industry, but also public authorities that tender and monitor railway service
provision. The overall aim is to improve the attractiveness and effi ciency of the train services which can be
offered to the public.
The key to achieving higher efficiency and quality is an awareness of the impact of availability, reliability and
robustness of the hardware subsystems on train processes. This is especially important at system pinch points
and during service disruptions. A deeper insight into the probability of failures and the causes of deviations from
the timetables depends on a thorough analysis of real world railway operations, together with feedback for
optimising the timetable and improving railway traffi c management. This can be achieved by a closer
collaboration of planners, engineers and researchers from the various scientifi c disciplines with the professional
railway operators.
This result should make the railways more attractive for regular, occasional and new customers, and assist in
ensuring that the railways make the maximum contribution possible to the transport requirements of the future.
