Developing resilience signals for the Dutch railway system

A resilience state model for a railway system is proposed consisting of three boundaries putting pressure on the operating state: Safety, Performance (Capacity & Punctuality) and Workload. In order to model the pressure of the boundaries, an additional dimension is added where the slope represents the pressure. By doing so, the model is able to differentiate between internal changes that keep the system in a resilient state or have it move towards brittleness. The resilience state model is also used to develop a quantitative signal model, indicating pressure change of the boundaries. A new... Mehr ...
