Estimation of train dwell time at short stops based on track occupation event data

Train dwell time is one of the most unpredictable components of railway operations mainly due to the varying volumes of alighting and boarding passengers. For reliable estimations of train running times and route conflicts on main lines it is however necessary to obtain accurate estimations of dwell times at the intermediate stops on the main...

An online railway traffic prediction model

Prediction of train positions in time and space is required for traffic control and passenger information. However, in practice only the last measured train delays are known and dispatchers must predict the arrival times of trains without adequate computer support. This paper presents a real-time tool for continuous online prediction of train...
