Abstract
Rail systems are recognized for their sustainability and high operational performance; however, they remain highly vulnerable to disruptions. Therefore, service reliability and operational resilience result to be a critical priority for transport operators. Among the factors influencing network resilience, rolling stock procurement plays a significant role, yet its impact is often underestimated. This study emphasises the importance of incorporating resilience metrics into rolling stock acquisition decisions to enhance overall system robustness. To illustrate how this approach can be applied, Line 1 of the Naples metro system in Italy has been selected as a case study.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
