Train passenger forecasting assists in planning, resource use, and system management. forecasts rail ridership. predictions help prevent stranded passengers empty seats. Simulating transport requires a low-error model. We developed fuzzy time series Using historical data was the goal. This concept predicts future railway using Holt's double exponential smoothing (DES) technique based on rate-of...

The railway is an important sector of the economy Georgia. Despite its small share in gross domestic product country, role socio-economic development country large. "Georgian Railway" only operator company mainly provides services related to cargo transportation and transports various types from Central Asia Black Sea. Georgian Railways also passenger transport. has a vertically integrated busi...

In the planning stage, train operators design timetables to serve passenger trips and a circulation plan support these timetables. These designs consider not only operating costs but also convenience. this study, we developed an optimization model for new problem that focuses on timetabling train-unit scheduling while considering itinerary choices in schedule-based system. This minimizes travel...

Long lead times in railway planning can give rise to a significant discrepancy between the original plan and the traffic eventually operated, resulting in inefficient utilization of capacity. Research shows that the railway sector in Sweden would benefit from a different planning approach in which capacity consuming decisions are pushed forward in time whenever possible. This approach is curren...

Line planning problems and differential pricing are complementary processes in the railway system, but these two were generally considered separate most of existing literature. This paper studies a time-dependent line problem with passenger train choice high-speed networks under elastic origin-destination-period demand. After clearly flexibly describing organization cost operators, price cost, ...

Unavoidable disturbances induce the necessity of operations control and dispatching tasks in the timetable-driven rail traffic. Therefore, dispatching becomes one of the most relevant challenges for the economic success, since it directly affects the timeliness of passengers, which is a core indicator of customer satisfaction. Thus, the integration of passenger preferences into dispatching stra...

Optram is a computer software for evaluation of track geometry quality data, used as a decision support in planning and follow-up of tamping maintenance for Swedish railways. The software was introduced at the Swedish Transport Administration year 2009 but has not reached the intended number of users. The purpose with this thesis is to suggest how Optram can be improved as a decision support in...

Passenger information aims at improving the user-friendliness of public transport systems while influencing passenger route choices to satisfy transit user’s travel requirements. The integration of transit information from multiple agencies is a major challenge in implementation of multi-modal passenger information systems. The problem of information sharing is further compounded by the multi-l...
