Data Analysis to Study Sub-threshold Delays Incurred by Tyne and Wear Metro Trains

Abstract: The performance of Tyne and Wear Metro system in the UK is measured on a headway basis, and gaps in service that are 4 min or more in excess of scheduled gaps are investigated and the cause documented. The metro system has a number of infrastructure constraints including single-line sections, junctions and level crossings, all of which have to be taken account of when constructing the timetable, in order to avoid trains being held by the signalling system, causing delays. The objective of this study is to anal… Show more

“…Public transportation plays an important and indeed indispensable role in daily commuting in almost all cities [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. Due to the saturation of ground transport, urban rail transit (URT) systems are preferred by many metropolises to reduce traffic congestion because of their high speed, large capacity, energy efficiency, and use of urban non-surface space [ 4 , 5 , 6 ]. Moreover, URT systems can promote the development of a city and even reshape urban structure such as by enhancing or mitigating work–residence separation.…”

“…Westgeest et al [23] analyzed track geometry measurement data containing the track gauge deviation by using regression analysis to identify the major contributors to track geometry deterioration and to assess the amount of necessary track maintenance. Screen et al [24] examined operational data and investigated subthreshold delays less than 4 min incurred by Tyne and Wear Metro trains in North East England. Darlton and Marinov [25] analyzed the suitability of tilting technology for the Tyne and Wear Metro system by designing and performing several tests revealing the possible impact on ride comfort, speed, and motion sickness.…”
