国外铁路特别是高速铁路具有非常高的正点率，这在很大程度上得益于研究人员对提高正点率的理论与方法体系进行了深入细致的研究。本书是作者在欧洲著名理工大学代尔夫特理工大学访问工作期间，利用该大学的计算机系统和荷兰铁路的列车运行数据(精确到秒)所做的研究。本书以完整的案例，系统地介绍了列车运行数据分析的理论与方法，以及采用的计算机分析系统和数据分析过程。

本书主要介绍了荷兰铁路列车运行数据分析理论与方法，以及采用的计算机分析系统和数据分析过程。本书以荷兰海牙地区铁路运营条件和实绩运行数据为例，详细地分析了列车运行图、基础设施布局、机车车辆性能等既定条件下，列车实际运行速度、实际间隔时间和实际缓冲时间的分布情况，指出了列车运行图及其他运输组织方案存在的问题，并根据分析结果提出相应的改进措施。

本书可用于相关专业技术人员的科研参考书，亦可用于铁路运输专业研究生的教学参考书。
