Identification of causes of delays in urban railways

This paper presents an algorithm that can be used to identify urban railway line delays. The algorithm looks for the delay cause by tracking a critical path on a PERT network that is created from train traffic record data. Small delays that occur often have large impacts on many other trains in the line, so it is useful to be able to identify the location of the delay, and take action to mitigate it.
