ARRIVAL OF LOCAL TRAINS AT LARGE PASSENGER STATIONS OF THE DEUTSCHE BUNDESBAHN

DIE ANKUNFT VON NAHVERKEHRSZUGEN IN GROSSEN PERSONENBAHNHOFEN DER DEUTSCHEN BUNDESBAHN

In connection with the investigation of the station-oriented pedestrian traffic at large junction stations of Deutsche Bundesbahn the arrival of short-distance trains was recorded in temporal and local respect by means of a time-dependent tape recording method. The empirically determined asymmetrical distribution of unpunctal arrivals of such commuter trains during the morning rush hours (6:00 to 9:00 a.m.) exhibits no significant differences between through stations and railheads. The distributions are not comparable to standard distributions. For the stopping eccentricity of short-distance trains in DB's through stations, as referred to the centrally arranged platform stairs, a symmetrical distribution was obtained, which can be considered as normal.
