Modeling capacity consumption considering disruption program characteristics and the transition phase to steady operations during disruptions
Disruption programs exhibit different operational characteristics than regular operations. The main characteristics are longer occupation times and more trains than planned during the transition phase. These different characteristics lead to different capacity consumption of disruption programs. The paper offers a method to identify and quantify the longer times and a capacity model considering the characteristics. The method can be used to evaluate the feasibility of a disruption program in advance.
