Abstract
With the increasing demand for public transport systems worldwide and also a lot of these systems running at their maximum capacity, there is a strong need for finding ways for these systems to operate in a more efficient way. In recent transportation research there is an increasing attention for operational conditions and the impact of passengervehicles interaction on the timetables of urban rail networks. Passengervehicle interaction can have a strong impact on the operational conditions of an urban rail line as a large part of the dwell time of a vehicle can be explained by the number of boarding and alighting passengers.
