Robustness and Recovery in Train Scheduling - a simulation study from DSB S-tog a/s



AbstractThis paper presents a simulation model to study the robustness of
timetables of DSB S-tog a/s, the city rail of Copenhagen. Dealing with
rush hour scenarios only, the simulation model
investigates the effects of disturbances
on the S-tog network. Several timetables are analyzed with respect
to robustness. Some of these are used in operation and some are generated
for the purpose of investigating timetables with specific alternative
characteristics.
