The research group deals with the subject of railway operations research, especially focusing on capacity and punctuality.

The research activities cover topics such as:

• Factors influencing punctuality and capacity
• Timetabling
• Statistical analysis of delays and disruptions
• Using machine learning to predict delays
• The processes of allocating railway capacity
• Adapting railways to climate change
• Planning and scheduling of trackworks
• Passenger behaviour during boarding and alighting
• Micro- and macroscopic simulation of operations
