  "abstract": "<p>Recently, railway traffic has increased considerably in the different parts of the world;<br>\nmoreover, it is expected that railway transportation will further grow for both passenger<br>\nand freight transportation. These developments create needs to optimize both the<br>\nutilization of the existing infrastructure and the coordination tasks inside the railway<br>\ncompany. Specially, the process times at stations should be well monitored to deliver<br>\nefficient services.<br>\nRailway timetable is affected by several factors. The fact that makes the case more serious<br>\nis that a disturbance encountered one train may propagate to the whole network unless a<br>\ntimetable that absorbs the fluctuation has been designed. This makes the railway timetable<br>\nto be the heart of railway operation. Hence, the thesis at hand is aimed to develop stability<br>\nanalysis method which is used to design more stable timetable to handle the disturbances<br>\noccurring to the railway network. In this research, both the interior and exterior factors<br>\nthat affect railway timetable stability were taken into account. In view of that, at the end of<br>\nthe research work, a model that is used to analyze trains timetable stability has been<br>\ndeveloped. The developed model is applicable to passengers&rsquo; railway network like Addis<br>\nAbaba LRT.</p>",
