Delays in Train Networks — •Christoph Fretter¹, Marc-Thorsten Hütt², Lachezar Krumov³, Matthias Müller-Hannemann¹, and Karsten Weihe³ — ¹Martin Luther Universität Halle — ²Jacobs Universy Bremen — ³Technische Universität Darmstadt

In cooperation with Deutsche Bahn AG, we study the propagation of delays in railway networks. In case of a train delay, a waiting policy determines whether a connecting train has to wait. Depending on these decisions passengers miss or reach their connection. Letting trains wait for others introduces a delay cascade.

We investigate delay response functions derived from real passenger data of the current train schedule, and discuss several models which give insight into the connection between topology and dynamics.
