In 2024, I completed my PhD at Lund University with the thesis titled Dwell time delays for commuter trains – An analysis of the influence of passengers on dwell time delays. My research focuses on delays at train stations and how the presence of passengers influences such delays. I focus on how aspects such as the volume and spread of passengers influence the likelihood of delays occurring at a station. The project generated practical knowledge on how these kinds of delays can be reduced in the future to help increase the punctuality of railway services.
