According to the Section 2.1.3, TS SIG [1], a Dwell time of 10-25 second shall be provided at each intermediate station Maximum reversal. However, to demonstrate the most appropriate Dwell Time for each station platform, based on the predicted passenger alighting and boarding figures during peak hour, Custom Dwell Times have been determined.
Dwell time: is defined as wheel stop to wheel start and consists primarily of 3 distinct components;
1. The time elapsed from wheel stop to PSD and train doors being fully open (tD)
2. The time allowed for passengers to alight and board (tAB)
3. The time elapsed from Chime start (and doors starting to close) to wheel start (tO)
