You’ve Got to Know When to Hold ‘Em: Realistic Headways from Accurate Modeling

You’ve Got to Know When to Hold ‘Em: Realistic Headways from Accurate Modeling LTK's simulation and analysis helps RTD plan realistic schedule for North Metro Line. Denver’s RTD is presently implementing an ambitious expansion of commuter rail with Denver Union Station (DUS) at its core, including the North Metro Line from DUS to the outlying terminus at 162 nd Avenue. RTD had concerns that the planned “full build” configuration of the largely single track North Metro would not support reliable operations with trains traveling every 15 minutes in each direction. Working with a team of expert civil, track and operations specialists, LTK applied its TrainOps ® simulation tool to the analysis. A comprehensive systems approach was used with the network simulation model including other rail l
