    <description descriptionType="Abstract">&lt;p&gt;Recently, railway traffic has increased considerably in the different parts of the world;&lt;br&gt;
moreover, it is expected that railway transportation will further grow for both passenger&lt;br&gt;
and freight transportation. These developments create needs to optimize both the&lt;br&gt;
utilization of the existing infrastructure and the coordination tasks inside the railway&lt;br&gt;
company. Specially, the process times at stations should be well monitored to deliver&lt;br&gt;
efficient services.&lt;br&gt;
Railway timetable is affected by several factors. The fact that makes the case more serious&lt;br&gt;
is that a disturbance encountered one train may propagate to the whole network unless a&lt;br&gt;
timetable that absorbs the fluctuation has been designed. This makes the railway timetable&lt;br&gt;
to be the heart of railway operation. Hence, the thesis at hand is aimed to develop stability&lt;br&gt;
analysis method which is used to design more stable timetable to handle the disturbances&lt;br&gt;
occurring to the railway network. In this research, both the interior and exterior factors&lt;br&gt;
that affect railway timetable stability were taken into account. In view of that, at the end of&lt;br&gt;
the research work, a model that is used to analyze trains timetable stability has been&lt;br&gt;
developed. The developed model is applicable to passengers&amp;rsquo; railway network like Addis&lt;br&gt;
Ababa LRT.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
