Abstract
In general, macroscopic models in delay management allow for the optimization of large networks with reasonable computational effort. The main limitations here arise from the aggregated consideration of the infrastructure. In this paper, an evaluation of potential application of macroscopic models for delay management through a real case study is discussed. A macroscopic model is built by applying first a micro-macro transformation on a calibrated microscopic model, to provide an exact calculation of minimum running times and headways. On this macroscopic model, two disruption scenarios are analyzed and solved by using Event Activity Networks, to show the potential benefits and the limitations of delay management. The case study is based on a real railway infrastructure in Switzerland, and it is implemented in LinTim, an opensource software, which allows for an integrated development of both the macroscopic scenario and the delay management solutions.
