Factors Affecting the Delay of Passenger Trains

Abstract

Paper deals with the problematic about the information quality impact and the basic methods which can optimize the costs of low quality of using information. First of all, it is important to purify the input data from the inconsistencies and measure the quality of data.This process assures to minimize the reasons that are responsible of poor quality of processes.Targets area of this paper is to identify and minimize the main reasons of delaying the passenger train by comparing years 2012 and 2013. Target groups of passenger trains were divided in three parts responsibilities of delaying -type of train, code of delay, group responsible for the train delay.

Draft Deployment of Traction Units with Active Tilting System for Regional and Long-distance Transport on Non-modernized Railway Tracks

“…With the approximate method of estimating the travel time savings, it was found an indicative shortening the express train travel time (Ex) approx. 20 minutes which represents a fundamental value for increasing competitiveness compared to other transport modes within passenger transport [8,20,21].…”

“…These relations and limits are subject to this standard in which certain principles are selected [8][9][10]:  tilting system operates by the speed limit at least v t = 70 km.h -1 in the curves with inclination. In the sections with tracks speed limit less than mentioned above for conventional construction vehicles, it cannot be taken into consideration the increase of speed limit when using the tilting units,  to take advantage of tilting system, the value of track inclination in curves needs to be at least p = 30 mm.…”

“…Travel time under static speed profile of current speeds was calculated and compared with actual travel times of passenger trains under the current timetable due to the dynamic difference coefficient to the static speed profile. The resulting approximate travel time saving for this 223 km long railway track section is about 20 minutes [8,12,18,19].…”

“…In regard to sectional travel speeds (technical speed with respect to delay times) of passenger trains, it is the similar scenario in terms of deploying the tilting units (see Figure 3) [8,12]. …”

The Influence of Free Transport in Rail Passenger Transport on the Elasticity of Demand of Rail Passenger Transport

“…In addition, if the price of individual car transport increases, there is no increase in demand for rail passenger transport [10][11][12]. Table no.…”
