Simulation des temps de parcours du transport ferroviaire régional du bassin de vie stéphanois dans le cadre du projet Bahn.Ville

Abstract

International audienceThe French-German research project Bahn. Ville, dealing with Rail oriented development and intermodality in German and French urban regions, has consisted in identifying the principles and factors of success of an urban development oriented towards rail, and in testing them in the agglomeration of Saint-Étienne. One of the research-actions focussed on identifying and anticipating the potential impacts in terms of urban development of a new transport system, of the tram-train type, on an existing railway line. The effect of the insertion of new stops on the global journey time is one of the criterion of the evaluation of new stops. A simulation method of the journey times is presented in this paper. The interest and the limits of this approach, regarding the rolling stock choice and the insertion of new stops, are emphasized. © 2011 INRETS et Springer-Verlag France

A Multi-criteria approach for choosing a new public transport system linked to urban development: a method developed in the Bahn.Ville project for a tram-train scenario in the Saint-Étienne region

“…The additional travel time study is developed more thoroughly by Vulturescu et al [23]. This approach simulates the functioning of the railway line considering the characteristics of the infrastructure and of the vehicles envisaged, in the context of a mixed usage of tram-trains and regional trains.…”
