The aim of this study is the comparative service reliability analysis of high frequency (e.g. metro) and low frequency (e.g. railway) public transport systems. We critically review known reliability indices w.r.t this question before we introduce a novel index accounting for the average delay experienced by the passengers in the network. We present numerical tests on its performance using close to real world data from the German railway system and from the Athens metro. We also discuss the effects of delay management strategies in high and low frequency systems.

Abstract
The aim of this study is the comparative service reliability analysis of high frequency (e.g. metro) and low frequency (e.g. railway) public transport systems. We critically review known reliability indices w.r.t this question before we introduce a novel index accounting for the average delay experienced by the passengers in the network. We present numerical tests on its performance using close to real world data from the German railway system and from the Athens metro. We also discuss the effects of delay management strategies in high and low frequency systems.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
