Excited to announce that TRAIN PhD student Jiaxi Zhao and Prof. Dick have recently published a new research paper in the Journal of Rail Transport Planning & Management! This paper is related to Jiaxi’s work on investigating the performance degradation and resiliency of freight rail hump classification yards when subject to a service disruption of different durations while subject to various traffic utilization levels. The work was performed using an original simulation model that Jiaxi created in AnyLogic.
The reference and DOI link for the paper is as follows:
