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...

To guarantee the quality and safety level of railway networks, inspections of the tracks are carried out. Measurement trains are a safe alternative for manual track inspections and therefore carry out the majority of the inspections. In this master thesis the planning and scheduling of measurement trains is studied to search for efficiency...

Capacity and performance (evaluated through delay propagation) analysis methods have mostly focused on railway line track sections, but less attention has been given to nodes. Still, a few analytical methods for the capacity and performance assessment of the switch areas between station platform tracks and line tracks can be classified upon...

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...

Graduation at faculty: Civil Engineering and Geosciences (CITG), Mechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineering (3mE), Technology, Policy and Management (TPM). This thesis deals with real-world plannings problems of timetable design. Improving the timetable design methodology results in a more reliable timetable and a higher quality for...

When delays occur in a railway network, train dispatchers need an answer to the question: ‘How to get the train service back to the scheduled situation?’. This research project is aimed at the development of a tool that helps the dispatcher answer this question quickly by evaluating the effectiveness of dispatching actions, such as changing the...

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 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...

An interlocking system forms a vital part of a railway signaling system because it ensures the safe movement of trains. For one by controlling movable track elements like switches and for an-other by controlling signals. The engineering design of interlocking systems poses challenges to both engineers at e.g. Siemens and the infrastructure...

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...

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...

This report contains a research on the subject ¡¥The integration of the High-Speed-Line South in the main rail network of the Netherlands for the 2015-2024 concession. Because of the bad financial situation of the train operator (High Speed Alliance, executed by NS Hispeed), the Minister of Infrastructure and the Environment was forced to find a...

Around the railway station of Schiphol, railway traffic is controlled by an automated dynamic traffic management system (DVM). This system is not optimal for the future service pattern of NS and NS Hispeed. My research explores the possibilities of a new DVM by analysing different rescheduling elements by means of microsimulations in OpenTrack.

Trap, M.L. (author)
Extreme winters have repeatedly led to severely disrupted situations on the Dutch railway network. Due to heavy snow and ice, both infrastructure and rolling stock broke down or malfunctioned, which made the network run out-of-control. Today, a special reduced timetable is being deployed to provide for more robustness and consequently limit the...

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...

ProRail Traffic Control would like to have examined what the performance of crossovers for rescheduling is in case of partial obstructions. The need for quantitative information about the performance of crossovers in The Netherlands has grown. The research is intended to fill this knowledge gap by investigating the performance of crossovers in...
