摘要

全球铁路网的连通性能否通过时刻表服务的微小变化而提高?在设计铁路时刻表时,中途站的换乘连接可能不是考虑的重点。然而,它们可能会对连通性产生重要影响。在本文中,我们利用欧洲所有国际铁路服务的真实时刻表,研究了通过对当前时刻表进行微小改动来提高连接性的可能性。建模工作采用复杂网络方法完成,并根据总接近中心度衡量性能。为提供更好的旅客服务,考虑了各种因素来校准必要的修正,包括车站的接驳时间和允许的不同程度的时刻表变更。结果表明,只需将 1%的列车时刻表最多更改 10 分钟,就能显著改善连通性。在必须鼓励公共交通的今天,铁路公司应考虑这一结果,以扩大国际铁路服务的潜在用途。

Improving Transfer Connectivity in Railway Timetables Based on Closeness Centrality: The Case of the European International Network
Could the connectivity of a global railway network increase through small changes in the timetable services? When designing railway schedules, transfer connections to intermediate stations may not be the primary focus considered. However, they may have an important influence on connectivity. In this paper, we study the potential improvement in connections by introducing small changes to the current schedules, using real timetables from all international railway services in Europe. The modelling was completed using the Complex Networks methodology and performance was measured based on total closeness centrality. Various factors are considered to calibrate the necessary amendments to provide a better traveller service, including connection times at stations and different allowed levels of schedule changes. The results indicate that by changing the schedule of only 1% of the services by at most 10 min, the connectivity improvement is remarkable. Railway companies should consider this result in order to expand the potential use of the international railway service at a time when public transportation must be encouraged.
