Project overview
This project was undertaken in partnership with Porterbrook, Elastacloud and Abellio Scotrail as part of the RSSB Data Sandbox+ programme. It built on modelling and visualisation work carried out during a previous project on ‘Predicting and Mitigating Small Fluctuations in Station Dwell Times’.
The project collated and analysed on-train monitoring data from the Scotrail fleet and used this to create a pre-commercial product capable of understanding and predicting variations in train performance which are likely to cause dwell time exceedances. This should help to reduce delay minutes and thus increase the cost-effectiveness of fleet operation. Southampton’s role centred on data integration, modelling and visualisation for the software product.
