C Szymula, N Bešinović, K Nachtigall - Transportation Research Part C …, 2024 - Elsevier
The infrastructure occupation of many European railway networks appears to be at its limits,
whilst recent public discussions aim to shift even more traffic towards the railway system …

Feedback control for metro lines with a junction

F Schanzenbächer, N Farhi, F Leurent… - IEEE Transactions on …, 2020 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We propose in this article macroscopic control laws for the number of trains running on a

Traffic modeling and simulation on a mass transit line with skip-stop policy

R Farrando, N Farhi, Z Christoforou… - 2020 IEEE 23rd …, 2020 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Mass transit operators apply operating plans where less frequented stations are not served
by all trains, with the aim to shorten the overall passenger travel time. In this paper, we …

A mathematical model for a two-service skip-stop policy with demand-dependent dwell times

R Farrando, N Farhi, Z Christoforou, A Urban - Journal of Rail Transport …, 2024 - Elsevier
This paper presents a discrete-event model for a mass-transit line operated with a two-
service skip-stop policy while allowing for train dwell times to vary according to passengers' …

Mesoscopic modeling of train operations: Application to the MBTA red line

S Saidi, NHM Wilson… - 2019 IEEE Intelligent …, 2019 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this paper, we introduce a train following model which can efficiently capture the effects of
train interactions in an urban rail line. The train following model is based on the estimation of …

Physical models and control of the train dynamics in a metro line without junction

N Farhi - IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology, 2018 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We propose a traffic flow and control model for the train dynamics in a linear metro line
without junction. The model takes into account time constraints such as minimum interstation …

Impact of a First-In–First-Out Rule on the Merge of a Metro Line with a Junction

R Farrando, N Farhi, Z Christoforou… - Transportation …, 2024 - journals.sagepub.com
On a metro line with a junction, the merge of the line is a key point for the operation. This
paper proposes a discrete event traffic model for a metro line with a junction. It is based on …

Comprehensive passenger demand-dependent traffic control on a metro line with a junction and a derivation of the traffic phases

F Schanzenbacher, N Farhi, F Leurent… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2018 - arxiv.org
