Accurate train delay prediction is vital for effective railway traffic planning and management
as well as for providing satisfactory passenger service quality. Despite significant advances …

Existing studies estimate the economic value (EcV) of network reliability and robustness
separately. In this study, a model is proposed for estimating the EcV of reserve capacity in a …

Explaining train delay propagation using influence factors (to find the determinants) is
essential for transport planning and train operation management. Due to high interpretability …

The knowledge development of the influence mechanism for the operational performance of
large passenger railway stations (OPLPRS) is of great significance for station managers in …

Since the inception of the China–Europe Railway Express (CRE), rail transportation has
emerged as a predominant means of transporting goods across international borders. The …

As the density of railway operations increases annually, train delays typically result in a
greater degree of economic loss. If we can accurately assess the current evolution of …

Understanding the impact of various factors on train arrival delays is a prerequisite for
effective railway traffic operating control and management. Existing studies analyze the train …

Rolling stock connections and route conflicts of trains at terminal stations are critical to train
delay propagation and prediction on the railway networks. Previous studies primarily …

The paper is devoted to the study and long-term forecasting of railway network sections
operating. We call a railway network section a set of several railway stations interacting with …

With crew scheduling and Artificial Intelligence (AI) gaining attention in the past few years,
there has been growing interest in algorithms that could effectively handle the crew …
