Simulering kan förbättra hanteringen av järnvägsstörningar Förseningar i järnvägssystemet kostar årligen såväl industrin som samhället miljardbelopp. Därför är det viktigt att minimera tiden som ett tåg står stilla efter en störning, som till exempel ett kontaktledningsbrott eller en personpåkörning. I examensarbetet presenteras en simuleringsmodell som kan användas som ett verktyg för att hitta Within the Swedish rail network, maximum track capacity is reached on multiple sections with costly delays as a result. Therefore minimizing the time a train is stationary after a disruption such as overhead line damage or suicide is important. Prior work has mapped stakeholders within the management of the two scenarios, but due to complexity, finding effective means of improvement is difficult.

Alla som har växt upp på landet, speciellt innan Gudruns framfart ledde till åtgärder, är plågsamt medvetna om hur jobbigt alltiMost current methods for studying cascading effects rely on written sources to extract information. This thesis presents an empirical method for studying cascading effects, when little written information of the event is available. The method presented has been influenced by incident investigation methods. It has been applied on a case of flooding in south of Sweden and revised based on the result
