“…Therefore, it is very important to propose new standards also for international long-distance transport, which would be generally and universally applicable to all long-distance routes in international passenger transport. Specific principles and outputs of the aforementioned methods were also used in proposing the standards specified as follows [23]:…”

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for public passenger transport has decreased significantly in many European countries since March 2020. Due to several measures and restrictions adopted, this decrease was particularly pronounced in international long-distance transport due to several restrictions and measures adopted. A significant decrease in demand could also be observed on the international rail transport route Bratislava / Vienna – Prague in the form of the decline in the number of transported passengers on this railway line. Therefore, it is very important and necessary to propose various measures to increase the demand and achieve a significant long-term increase in the number of passengers in long-distance rail transport not only on the mentioned transport route. This paper analyses the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on passenger transport usage frequency and proposes solutions to improve the quality of the timetables. It deals with the long-term and systematic concept of international long-distance passenger rail transport on the Prague – Bratislava / Vienna and back in the post-pandemic period. For this purpose, specific scientific methods are selected, which can be applied in order to rationalize and optimize train timetables.

“…In the physical rail transit network, the reference point can be a station route, a track or line section, and other infrastructure elements (e.g., point, track, and junction). Anyway, Robustness in Critical Points (RCP) should be put as the frst priority [47], so as to ensure the robustness of the whole VC-enabled rail trafc network.…”

Virtual coupling (VC) is a train-centric next generation signalling system, which can enable multiple trains to operate in a formation just like one train or decouple separately on-the-run or at station flexibly or as planned. With the aim of optimizing the interdeparture train headway time, providing the variable capacity for diverse passenger demand, maximizing the passenger riding comfort degree, and minimizing passenger travel cost and train operation cost, the dynamic schedule for VC-enabled rail transit services is investigated with the multiagent simulation technique on NetLogo platform. Our contribution is mainly fourfold. First, VC-enabled rail transit entity for simulation is represented with the multiagent technique, including representation of train unit, train convoy, passenger attributes and behavior, and mathematical formula for calculation of the train operation cost and passenger travel cost, as well as passengers riding comfort degree are proposed. Second, the operational principles for flexible and self-organisingVC-enabled trains are defined. Third, the VC-enabled train-centric, passenger demand-driven, and agent-based simulation flow and algorithms are developed innovatively, which adopt the ergodic strategy for simulation by traversing each O-D pair demand along each route section over the rail transit network. Finally, we test and discuss the proposed methodology on the designed computational experiment on the NetLogo platform, and the simulation results series validated the effectiveness of the proposed methodology. The provided research can effectively support the VC-enabled platoon operation-oriented train service schedule for future study.
