Abstract
In the major operation section of urban railway, there has been occurred habitual delay, and delay propagation and spread to consecutive trains. Therefore, this delay cause the increase of operation time and irregular operation, also the increase of crowd and inconvenience to passengers. The railway operation plan is a promise to passengers and must have reliability. In the case of high frequency urban operation, dwell time have considerable influence on operational headway, so it is very important to efficiently plan and control the dwell time at stations. In this paper, the survey of the research on dwell time for urban railways is presented. The practical estimation model for minimum required dwell time, and the numerical example and validity are proposed.
