Title: The Use of Modelling Tool in Order to Evaluate the Dwelling Times for Trains
Abstract: The exchanges between the platform and the trains structure the punctuality of those. Indeed, the positioning of the travelers who expect the train on the platform, their choice of car in the train according to the exit door in their station of arrival, are inter alia elements which condition the dwelling times of trains. In mass transit railway or commuter rail systems, dwelling times are usually long and chaotic, which can lead to tardy trains and a decrease in the system efficiency, especially during peak hours. For more efficient and robust schedules, for an improvement of passengers’ comfort, a train operator must take care of the passenger movements in the train and on the platform in order to improve the design of both trains and platform to optimize pedestrian flows.
