Impact of railway disruption predictions and rescheduling on passenger delays

Disruptions such as rolling stock breakdown, signal failures, and accidents are recurrent events during daily railway operation. Such events disrupt the deployment of resources and cause delay to passengers. Obtaining a reliable disruption length estimation can potentially reduce the negative impact caused by the disruption. Different factors...

The Copula Bayesian Network with mixed discrete and continuous nodes to forecast railway disruption lengths

The highly uncertain nature of a railway disruption complicates the tasks carried by the Dutch Operational Control Centre Rail (OCCR) in the Netherlands. A good prediction of disruption length is believed to help the decision making in dealing with the disruption. Zilko, et al. [Non-Parametric Bayesian Network to Forecast Railway Disruption...
