Hansen, Professor for Design of Transport Facilities Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences Transportation and Planning Dept. i.a.hansen@citg.tudelft.nl Capacity Increase through Optimised Timetabling Appendix Short description of the tools developed by TU Delft Mining, filtering and analysis of train detection data (TNV-Prepare) Stability analysis of network timetables (PETER) AGRRI Network Capacity Seminar 28 November 2003 London

2. I.A. Hansen, Transportation and Planning Dept. 2 Tool for mining, filtering and analysis of train detection data (1) Compilation of NS data records of track occupation and release indicating train # per section Consistency proof of the routes used and times recorded Preparation of data base with chronological and topographical order of train records

3. I.A. Hansen, Transportation and Planning Dept. 3 Tool for mining, filtering and analysis of train detection data (2) Example track occupation records of IC 1500 at Eindhoven

4. I.A. Hansen, Transportation and Planning Dept. 4 Tool for mining, filtering and analysis of train detection data (3) Estimation of the braking/acceleration time from last/first measurement point until/from stop position at platform track Comparison with scheduled arrival/ departure times according to the remaining braking/ acceleration distance High precision of sec.

5. I.A. Hansen, Transportation and Planning Dept. 5 Tool for mining, filtering and analysis of train detection data (4) Example distribution of arrival delays IC 2100 at The Hague HS Example distribution of dwell times IC 1900 at The Hague HS

6. I.A. Hansen, Transportation and Planning Dept. 6 Tool for mining, filtering and analysis of train detection data (5) Example distribution of departure delays of IC Amsterdam-Vlissingen at station The Hague HS

7. I.A. Hansen, Transportation and Planning Dept. 7 Stability analysis tool for timetables of interconnected line networks (1) Model approach – Discrete event – Dynamic system – Network model – Deterministic process times (design times) Model characteristics – Periodic steady-state – Dynamic train interactions – Slack times between events – Initial departure delays

8. I.A. Hansen, Transportation and Planning Dept. 8 Stability analysis tool for timetables of interconnected line networks (2) Analysis methods – Critical circuit analysis (Critical circuits, minimum cycle time, throughput, stability margin) Recovery times Recovery times – Delay impact on departing train, delay sensitivity of waiting train, circuit recovery time Delay Propagation Delay Propagation – Propagation initial delays through time and network, settling time, total and mean consecutive delay

9. I.A. Hansen, Transportation and Planning Dept. 9 Stability analysis tool for timetables of interconnected line networks (3) Example Dutch IC-network 2000-2001 – 29 train lines (both directions) – 74 stations – 334 departures/line segments – 51 transfers Critical circuit analysis – Critical circuit: 19 departures, 9 train lines, 6 stations – Minimum cycle time:58:25 minutes – Throughput:97 % – Stability margin:0:53 minutes
