Quantifying railway timetable robustness in critical points.

Highlights: [•] We present a case study of a major Swedish railway line and its congestion problems. [•] We propose a new robustness measure based on critical points in the timetable, RCP. [•] An experimental benchmark of existing measures and RCP is performed and presented. [•] The benchmark demonstrates the benefits of RCP compared to previous measures. [•] RCP suggests where adjustments should be made to increase the robustness. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
