Abstract EN
Train dwell time estimation is a critical issue in both scheduling and rescheduling phases.
In a previous paper, the authors proposed a novel dwell time estimation model at short stops which did not require the passenger data.
This model shows promising results when applied to Dutch railway stations.
This paper focuses on testing and improving the generality of the model by two steps: first, the model is tested by applying more independent datasets from another city and comparing the estimation accuracy with the previous Dutch case; second, the model’s generality is tested by a theoretical approach through the analysis of individual model parameters, variables, model scenarios, and model structure as well as work conditions.
The validation results during peak hours show that the MAPE of the model is 11.4%, which is slightly better than the results for the Dutch railway stations.
A more generalized predictor called “dwell time at the associated station” is used to replace the square root term in the original model.
The improved model can estimate train dwell time in all the investigated stations during both peak and off-peak periods.
We conclude that the proposed train dwell time estimation model is generic in the given condition.
