Quantifying the cascading effects of passenger delays

Delays in transport networks has adverse implications for infrastructure and service managers as well as travellers. While it is widely acknowledged that delays occurring across the transport networks may be related, there are is lack of knowledge on the underlying properties of these relations and means for quantifying them. To this end, we...

Predicting disruptions and their passenger delay impacts for public transport stops

Disruptions in public transport can have major implications for passengers and service providers. Our study objective is to develop a generic approach to predict how often different disruption types occur at different stations of a public transport network, and to predict the impact related to these disruptions as measured in terms of...

Estimation of metro network passenger delay from individual trajectories

Smart card data enables the estimation of passenger delays throughout the public transit network. However, this delay is measured per passenger trajectory and not per network component. The implication is that it is currently not possible to identify the contribution of individual system components – stations and track segments – to overall...
