Untersuchung der Leistungsfähigkeit und des Leistungsverhaltens eines Straßenbahn-Endpunktes

Abstract

The object of this analysis is a tram terminal, which is one of the main elements of the public transport system. The results of traffic counts have been used to describe the arriving and starting process of trams. If all of the tracks in the terminal are occupied the arriving trams queue on the open track in front of the terminal and they must wait. This problem results in low public transport quality. The tram terminal station is examined as a service system. The terminal process of trams is modelled with the help of queueing theory. Proposals have been worked out to increase the service quality in this terminal station.
