Zeng, SIJIE (author)
In order to track the speed profile, a case study using a linear quadratic regulator (LQR) is addressed in this paper. A time-invariant nonlinear train motion model is constructed. To apply LQR, the quadratic term of the aerodynamic drag and the rolling mechanical resistance is linearized. Gradient resistance, curve resistance, and other...

This paper presents a train robust control method to optimize train operation based on the concept virtual coupling on train platoon. This approach is inspired by the recent development of platoon control for autonomous vehicles, and it is hoped that this platoon control can be applied to railway transportation. We use a decentralized model...

Public transport is important for society, it provides accessibility to opportunities. Accessibility is not distributed evenly. Some inhabitants are disadvantaged, which has negative impacts on society. The distribution of accessibility between inhabitants can be measured with transport equity. The PT network should be improved in order to...

The impact of delays and disturbances in railway traffic can be mitigated by advanced rail traffic rescheduling models (RTRMs) which make use of mathematical optimization models. In the past several researches have been carried out on the effectiveness of an RTRM in reducing delay and improving punctuality. However, in most of these researches...

Bouman, Susan (author)
Despite advanced communication, monitoring, and control facilities, train operations are still subject to uncertainties that can disturb train services, cause delay to multiple trains, and propagate through the network. One option is to mitigate delay propagation in the timetable design by adding buffer time to the minimum difference between the...

Moving block signalling promises a significant reduction of the infrastructure occupation compared to a fixed block system, such as NS’54/ATB. This is mainly caused by a strong reduction of the approach and running time. However, to assess the capacity gains track occupation data, such as blocking times are needed. ETCS L3 Moving Block is still...

Miao, Rui (author)
As the demand for the railways is expected to raise in the future, researchers are looking for ways to improve the railway capacity to increase the transport ability. Virtual coupling is a new solution based on the moving block technology, which further shortens train separation from absolute braking distance to relative braking distance. This...

Sommers, Daniel (author)
To better govern inventory control of spare parts in tandem with scheduling of maintenance operations in a railway setting, a Railway Spare Inventory & Maintenance Scheduling (R-SIMS) model is developed. To suit the railway industry setting the model includes an inventory control strategy which envokes continuous monitoring and a reorder...

Spartalis, Panagiotis (author)
As the demand for transport of goods and passengers increases, the capacity of railway networks is becoming more and more saturated. Railway infrastructure managers aim to increase the rail network capacity with the minimum possible investments in infrastructure. Next generation signalling concepts such as Moving Block (MB) and Virtual Coupling ...

Chatzis, Panagiotis (author)
The increasing passenger demand for rail service in the Netherlands, urges the Dutch infrastructure manager (IM) ProRail to increase network capacity. Instead of building new infrastructure, ProRail promotes information and communications technology solutions which aim for a more efficient utilization of the existing infrastructure. One of the...

Technological innovations in the Dutch railway sector, such as ERTMS and the 3kV power supply system make it possible to increase the efficiency, effectivity and speed of the railway system in the upcoming decades. The implementation of systems such as ERTMS and 3kV is a lengthy process. The new systems will therefore operate alongside the old...

Westerhuis, Gijsbert (author)
The number of operational rail corridors equipped with ERTMS is increasing throughout Europe. The implementation of this critical safety system is planned to take several decades. However, ERTMS is a complex system that evolves continuously increasing the risk of using outdated parts and components. Therefore, adaptability is required for an...

Passengers often complain about dirty trains indicating the relevance of interior cleaning of rolling stock (RS). Servicing tasks (i.e. interior and exterior cleaning and smaller technical checks) are executed on a daily basis at service locations (SLs). Currently, due to train operations during daytime, the current focus lies on night servicing...

Passenger punctuality is one of the most important measures to indicate and improve the service reliability of public transport operators. Previously, passenger punctuality measurements were mainly based on passenger counts in combination with vehicle locations. With the growing use of Automatic Fare Collection systems, passenger punctuality...

NedTrain, the train maintenance subsidiary of NS, has 33 Service Locations across the Netherlands. At those locations, trains are checked, repaired, washed, cleaned and stabled around the clock. Due to a higher demand for service in the upcoming years, as a result of the purchase of many new trains, the capacity of those locations is not...

This research assesses if, and how, the disruption-management process of the Dutch rail infrastructure manager ProRail could be improved with better use of additional information. Through mapping the system elements in a fault tree (FT), the causes of a failure notification can be visualised. After identifying other effects for all failing...

Wolters, G.J. (author)
The performance of the NS and ProRail is measured by, among others, passenger punctuality. With the introduction of the OV-chipkaart (the smart card of the Dutch public transport) new data of passengers became available. Therefore the NS developed a new method of calculating passenger punctuality. Based on the check-in and checkout locations and...
