Stability and Robustness Analysis of Acyclic Timetable
نویسندگان
چکیده
To satisfy the growing passenger transportation demands and improve the service quality in railway system, a more stable and robust timetable needs to be designed while considering highly utilized capacity. Acyclic timetable is extensively applied in large railway networks. In order to acquire the quality of timetable, analytical timetable stability analysis software PETER (Performance Evaluation of Timed Events in Railways) is used to analyse timetable stability and robustness with delay impact, delay sensitivity and delay propagation. The method has been applied to the Yangtze River Delta of the Chinese railway network.

Railway Timetable Stability Analysis Using Stochastic Max-Plus Linear Systems
Stability and robustness of a railway timetable are essential properties for punctual and reliable operations. Timetable performance evaluation is therefore an important aspect in the timetable design process. In particular, the stability and recoverability properties of a timetable with respect to daily process time variations must be well analysed. The timetable must be able to recover from p...
متن کاملStable Gait Planning and Robustness Analysis of a Biped Robot with One Degree of Underactuation
In this paper, stability analysis of walking gaits and robustness analysis are developed for a five-link and four-actuator biped robot. Stability conditions are derived by studying unactuated dynamics and using the Poincaré map associated with periodic walking gaits. A stable gait is designed by an optimization process satisfying physical constraints and stability conditions. Also, considering...

متن کاملPerformance evaluation of network timetables using PETER
Efficient evaluation and comparison criteria of network timetables are not yet well-defined and planners usually have to rely on time-consuming simulations of (sub)networks. PETER (Performance Evaluation of Timed Events in Railways) is a new analytical tool that quickly assesses network performance indicators in a deterministic setting corresponding to the design times used in timetable constru...
متن کاملSupporting tools for automated timetable planning
To satisfy the growing demand in railway transportation, infrastructure managers have the necessity to design more effective timetables. To this aim it is necessary to rely on automatic timetabling support tools that can provide feasible timetables with improved performance. In this paper we propose a hierarchical framework for timetable design that includes a microscopic, mesoscopic and macros...
