Improving passenger robustness by taking passenger numbers and recurring delays explicitly into account on the tactical level KU Leuven
In this paper, we consider nearly saturated station areas whose limited capacity is one of the main reasons of delay propagation. Our goal is to improve, during the planning phase, the total travel time in practice of all passengers in the railway network. Therefore, passenger numbers and recurring delays of trains are explicitly taken into account in the optimization process. By maximizing the (passenger- and/or delay-) weighted spreading ...
