Abstract

Considering the growing congestion on roads and at airports worldwide, there is a need to improve the reliability of High-Speed Rail (HSR) transport. HSR is one of the important developments in rail transportation as it can sufficiently increase mobility whilst providing speed, reliability, comfort and safety. The reliability of HSR services can sufficiently influence the economic and environmental sustainability of a railway network.
The safety rate of HSR decreases with the deterioration of punctuality of trains. The reliability of trains is one of the most attractive features of the railway system for passengers.This research investigates the main measures to improve the reliability of HSR and compares and evaluates the reliability of different HSR systems and related influencing factors. The research takes the form of an investigation and critical evaluation of key existing HSR systems in terms of their reliability. It looks at different technical innovations that improve the reliability of HSR such as implementing a preventative maintenance regime, implementing modern signalling and traffic control systems and digitalising traffic management and timetabling. The expected outcome of this research may contribute to the development of ways to increase the railway operational reliability through a combination of new technologies, and improving the staff skills.
