Benchmarking and evaluation of railway operations performance

This benchmarking and evaluation method is based on collecting data at selected observation points on train and service ID, position, and time from either simulation or from data feeds of real operations. With the addition of data on train and network characteristics, this collected data can be processed in such a way as to evaluate the key measures outlined in a previously defined Quality of Service framework. The key measures quantify the following KPIs of the model: transport volume, journey time, connectivity, punctuality, resilience, energy consumption and resource usage.
