STOCHASTIC MODELING OF DELAY PROPAGATION IN TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS FOR CAPACITY OPTIMIZATION
The minimal headway for virtually coupled (VC) freight trains operating under stochastic timetable disturbances on the Trans-Siberian Railway is investigated. By analyzing empirical data from the Oy-Mos section, we identify distinct delay distribution patterns for regular freight (Erlang), heavy-haul (chi-square) and e...
