Mining Train Delays
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Belgian railway network has a high traffic density with Brussels as its gravity center. The star-shape of the network implies heavily loaded bifurcations in which knock-on delays are likely to occur. Knock-on delays should be minimized to improve the total punctuality in the network. Based on experience, the most critical junctions in the traffic flow are known, but others might be hidden. To reveal the hidden patterns of trains passing delays to each other, state-of-the-art data mining techniques are being studied and adapted to this specific problem.

Analysis on Train Stopping Accuracy based on Regression Algorithms
Stopping accuracy is one of the most important indexes of efficiency of automatic train operation (ATO) systems. Traditional stopping control algorithms in ATO systems have some drawbacks, as many factors have not been taken into account. In the large amount of fieldcollected data about stopping accuracy there are many factors (e.g. system delays, stopping time, net pressure) which affecting st...
متن کاملAnalyzing passenger train arrival delays with support vector regression
We propose machine learning models that capture the relation between passenger train arrival delays and various characteristics of a railway system. Such models can be used at the tactical level to evaluate effects of various changes in a railway system on train delays. We present the first application of support vector regression in the analysis of train delays and compare its performance with...
متن کاملEvaluation Method of Robustness for Train Schedules
Although trains are operated according to predefined schedules, unexpected incidents sometimes occur and trains inevitably experience delays. An example of such a delay is when dwell time increases due to an object caught between the doors; this leads to a build-up of passengers on the platform, who then rush onto the train when the doors are reopened to release the object. Train delays may als...
متن کاملPunctuality and Railway Maintenance
The iron ore railway in northern Scandinavia is a single track line that stretches from the Gulf of Bothnia to the Norwegian Sea. Mixed traffic on a single-track railway makes the traffic sensitive and prone to disturbances. To improve punctuality and efficiency in the traffic flow, the link between disturbances and their impacts on train delays needs to be analysed and understood more precisel...
