Description
The complex, internal relationship between rail schedules and staff rotation is here addressed for a complete analysis of the current performance of train drivers. The potential for performance improvement in relation to the constraints imposed by the timetable and the corresponding shift plans (e.g., use of buffer times) on the one hand, and job satisfaction on the other, can be therefore identified.
