Rail transport network reliability with train arrival delay: A reference indicator for a travel agency in tour planning

作者：

Highlights：

• Construct an SRTN model according to a train timetable and tour schedule.

• Define the network reliability as an indicator for a travel agency to plan a tour.

• Consider train arrival delay in network reliability evaluation.

• Develop an MTR based algorithm considering the acceptable delay probability.

• Demonstrate the applicability of the proposed algorithm by a case in Taiwan.
