The Impact of Switch Faults on Train Delays : A Case Study of the Swedish Railway Network

Unreliability is directly linked to punctuality which continues to limit, among other factors, the uptake of railways as a sustainable mode of transport. To fix this issue, there is a need for a better understanding of the contribution of railway sub-systems to train dela
