  2. 1. Railway operation analysis : Evaluation of quality, infrastructure and timetable on single and double-track lines with analytical models and simulation

    Author : Olov Lindfeldt; Bo-Lennart Nelldal; Lars-Göran Mattsson; Ingo Hansen; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Railway operation; Railway capacity; Single-track; Double-track; Partial double-track; Inter-station distance; Delay; Delay propagation; Crossing; Overtaking; Timetable flexibility; Simulation; Experimental design; Civil engineering and architecture; Samhällsbyggnadsteknik och arkitektur;

    Abstract : This thesis shows the advantages of simple models for analysis of railway operation. It presents two tools for infrastructure and timetable planning. It shows how the infrastructure can be analysed through fictive line designs, how the timetable can be treated as a variable and how delays can be used as performance measures. READ MORE

  4. 2. Simulation Studies for Improved Efficiency in Road and Rail Freight Transports

    Author : Ingrid Johansson; Markus Bohlin; Oskar Fröidh; Behzad Kordnejad; Carl-William Palmqvist; C. Tyler Dick; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; heavy-duty vehicle platooning; road traffic simulation; intelligent transport systems; optimal control; longitudinal cruise control; fuel economy; railway traffic simulation; microscopic simulation; macroscopic simulation; freight trains; early departures; capacity; railway stations; strategic planning; timetable compression; UIC Code 406; Transportsystem; Transport Systems;

    Abstract : The demand for road and rail freight transport continues to grow with the expanding economy, while the climate crisis requires reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, tools and solutions for reducing fossil fuel use and enabling more efficient use of infrastructure are needed. READ MORE

  5. 3. Timetable Analysis based on Social Cost and Simulation

    Author : Jennifer Warg; Markus Bohlin; Oskar Fröidh; Carl-William Palmqvist; Paola Pellegrini; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Railway capacity allocation; timetable analysis; social costs; microscopic railway simulation; macroscopic railway simulation; passengers; timetable performance; early departing freight trains; Järnvägskapacitet; tidtabellsanalys; sociala kostnader; mikroskopisk järnvägssimulering; makroskopisk järnvägssimulering; resande; tidtabellseffektivitet; tidiga godståg; Transportsystem; Transport Systems;

    Abstract : The timetable is essential for railway traffic. Its design affects rail operations – and by extension all operators, passengers, and freight clients. International practice for capacity allocation varies and there is no common algorithm for designing and evaluating timetable changes. READ MORE

  6. 4. Railway capacity analysis : Methods for simulation and evaluation of timetables, delays and infrastructure

    Author : Anders Lindfeldt; Bo-Lennart Nelldal; Ullrich Martin; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Järnvägsgruppen - Kapacitet; Järnvägsgruppen - Kapacitet;

    Abstract : In this thesis the symptoms and underlying behaviour of congestion on railways are analysed and discussed. As well as in many other countries, Sweden faces increasing demand for transportation. To meet this new demand, railways play an important role. READ MORE

  7. 5. Quality on single-track railway lines with passenger traffic : Anlytical model for evaluation of crossing stations and partial double-tracks

    Author : Olov Lindfeldt; Bo-Lennart Nelldal; Lars-Göran Mattsson; Nils Olsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : Railway operation; Railway capacity; single-track; crossing station; partial double-track; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : Railway transportation is showing a substantial increase. Investments in new infrastructure, new fast and comfortable vehicles, and high frequency of service are important factors behind the increase.Infrastructure configuration and timetable construction play important roles in the competitiveness of railway transportation.
