Passenger Journey Performance

Timetable option performance modelling

Refining rail timetables can potentially improve service performance and accommodate traffic growth. But these changes might also trigger unexpected problems. Modelling timetable options using SaviRPM can reveal unexpected risks and provides evidence of expected performance improvements. This increases confidence for timetable changes.  more...

Feasibility of a GB trial of longer-heavier vehicles (Stage 1)

Many countries across Europe and around the world permit some limited use of a special class of HGVs commonly referred to as Longer-Heavier Vehicles (LHVs) to carry 50% more goods on a single trip than standard articulated trucks, where the roads are suitable. Use of LHVs is has been growing across Europe since the early 2000s and much earlier in countries like Norway and Sweden. Could they be used in GB?  more...

Rail performance investigation tools

Risk Solutions brought together performance managers from five UK train operating companies to discuss the data and tools they use to investigate train service performance and identify ways to improve passenger journeys.  The aim of this research work, funded by City, University of London, was to identify strengths and weaknesses with the current analytical processes, […]  more...
