Simulation of Metro Operations Under Disruptions: Application to Tren Urbano in San Juan, Puerto Rico

Le résumé fourni par la source

This paper presents the evaluation of three control logics for metro operations under incident conditions. Schedule based operation, headway based operation and a combination of both are evaluated to determine which operational strategy performs better when minor disruptions occur. The simulation was performed using SIMAN/Arena with data collected from various sources including a metro system with automatic train control operation. The models developed use the Tren Urbano of San Juan Puerto Rico, as a case study. According to the results of the models, the Schedule-Based operation is more effective for high service frequencies and disruptions that are less than one time the operating headway. The Headway-Based operation is more effective for low frequencies and disruptions that are greater than one time the operating headway.
