Schedule Speed: The ratio of the distance covered between two stops to the total time of the run including the time for the stop is known as schedule speed. It is denoted with Vs
$(Schedule\;speed = \frac{{distance\;between\;stops}}{{Total\;time\;of\;run + time\;for\;stop}})$
$({V_s} = \frac{D}{{{T_s}}})$
Where Ts is the scheduled time in hours
Factors affecting the schedule speed of a train are:
- Crest speed
- The duration of stops
- The distance between the stops
- Acceleration
- Breaking duration
