+
## Overview
|
| 4 |
+
|
| 5 |
+
This document describes the methodology, reasons, and approach used to generate **realistic synthetic data** for the Metro Train Scheduling System. The synthetic data mimics real-world KMRL (Kochi Metro Rail Limited) operational patterns and constraints.

## Why Synthetic Data?
|
| 21 |
+
|
| 22 |
+
### Reasons for Synthetic Data Generation
|
| 23 |
+
|
| 24 |
+
**1. Privacy & Compliance**
|
| 25 |
+
- Real metro operational data contains sensitive information
|
| 26 |
+
- Cannot expose actual train maintenance issues or financial data
|
| 27 |
+
- Protects commercial partnerships (advertising contracts)
|
| 28 |
+
- Avoids regulatory compliance issues
|
| 29 |
+
|
| 30 |
+
**2. Development & Testing**
|
| 31 |
+
- No access to production KMRL data during development
|
| 32 |
+
- Need large volumes of data for ML model training (100+ schedules)
|
| 33 |
+

## Design Principles
|
| 57 |
+
|
| 58 |
+
### 1. **Realism**
|
| 59 |
+
Generate data that closely mirrors actual metro operations:
|
| 60 |
+
- Real station names from KMRL Aluva-Pettah Line
|
| 61 |
+
- Actual distance (25.612 km) and station count (25)
|
| 62 |
+
- Realistic operational hours (5 AM - 11 PM)
|
| 63 |
+
- Industry-standard maintenance patterns
|
| 64 |
+
|
| 65 |
+
### 2. **Statistical Distribution**
|
| 66 |
+
Model real-world probabilities:
|
| 67 |
+
- 65% trains fully healthy
|
| 68 |
+
- 20% partially available (limited hours)
|
| 69 |
+
- 15% unavailable (maintenance/breakdown)
|
| 70 |
+
- Normal distribution for mileage, readiness scores
|
| 71 |
+
|
| 72 |
+
### 3. **Consistency**
|
| 73 |
+
Maintain logical relationships:
|
| 74 |
+
- High mileage β lower readiness scores
|
| 75 |
+
- More job cards β higher maintenance probability
|
| 76 |
+
- Expired certificates β unavailable status
|
| 77 |
+
- Maintenance history affects current health
|
| 78 |
+
|
| 79 |
+
### 4. **Variability**
|
| 80 |
+
Introduce realistic randomness:
|
| 81 |
+
- Different fitness certificate expiry dates
|
| 82 |
+
- Varying branding contracts and priorities
|
| 83 |
+
- Random maintenance windows
|
| 84 |
+
- Stochastic component failures
|
| 85 |
+
|
| 86 |
+
### 5. **Constraint Adherence**
|
| 87 |
+
Respect operational rules:
|
| 88 |
+
- Minimum service trains (22-24)
|
| 89 |
+
- Minimum standby capacity (3-5)
|
| 90 |
+
- Depot capacity limits
|
| 91 |
+
- Turnaround time requirements
|
| 92 |
+

## Generation Methodology
|
| 96 |
+
|
| 97 |
+
### Class: `MetroDataGenerator`
|
| 98 |
+
**Location**: `DataService/metro_data_generator.py`
|
| 99 |
+
|
| 100 |
+
### Step-by-Step Generation Process
|
| 101 |
+
|
| 102 |
+
#### 1. Route Generation
|
| 103 |
+
```python
|
| 104 |
+
def generate_route():
|
| 105 |
+
# Use real KMRL stations
|
| 106 |
+
stations = ["Aluva", "Pulinchodu", ..., "Pettah"] # 25 stations
|
| 107 |
+
total_distance = 25.612 km # Actual KMRL distance
|
| 108 |
+
|
| 109 |
+
for each station:
|
| 110 |
+
- Calculate distance from origin (linear interpolation)
|
| 111 |
+
- Assign dwell time (20-45 seconds, random)
|
| 112 |
+
- Set sequence number
|
| 113 |
+
|
| 114 |
+
return Route with:
|
| 115 |
+
- avg_speed: 32-38 km/h (realistic metro speed)
|
| 116 |
+
- turnaround_time: 8-12 minutes (standard metro practice)
|
| 117 |
+
```
|
| 118 |
+
|
| 119 |
+
**Reasoning**:
|
| 120 |
+
- Real station names β authentic demonstration
|
| 121 |
+
- Linear distance β simplified but representative
|
| 122 |
+
- Random dwell times β models station complexity variation
|
| 123 |
+
- Speed range β typical metro performance
|
| 124 |
+
|
| 125 |
+

|
| 126 |
+
|
| 127 |
+
#### 2. Train Health Status Generation
|
| 128 |
+
```python
|
| 129 |
+
def generate_train_health_statuses():
|
| 130 |
+
for each train:
|
| 131 |
+
health_roll = random(0, 1)
|
| 132 |
+
|
| 133 |
+
if health_roll < 0.65: # 65% probability
|
| 134 |
+
status = "Fully Healthy"
|
| 135 |
+
available_hours = None # Available all operational hours
|
| 136 |
+
|
| 137 |
+
elif health_roll < 0.85: # 20% probability
|
| 138 |
+
status = "Partially Healthy"
|
| 139 |
+
available_hours = random window (e.g., 5 AM - 2 PM)
|
| 140 |
+
reason = "Minor repairs" | "Partial maintenance"
|
| 141 |
+
|
| 142 |
+
else: # 15% probability
|
| 143 |
+
status = "Unavailable"
|
| 144 |
+
available_hours = []
|
| 145 |
+
reason = random choice from:
|
| 146 |
+
- SCHEDULED_MAINTENANCE
|
| 147 |
+
- BRAKE_SYSTEM_REPAIR
|
| 148 |
+
- HVAC_REPLACEMENT
|
| 149 |
+
- BOGIE_OVERHAUL
|
| 150 |
+
- ELECTRICAL_FAULT
|
| 151 |
+
- ACCIDENT_DAMAGE
|
| 152 |
+
- PANTOGRAPH_REPAIR
|
| 153 |
+
- DOOR_SYSTEM_FAULT
|
| 154 |
+
```
|
| 155 |
+
|
| 156 |
+
**Reasoning**:
|
| 157 |
+
- **65% healthy**: Most trains operational (industry standard ~70%)
|
| 158 |
+
- **20% partial**: Common in metros with aging fleet or scheduled maintenance
|
| 159 |
+
- **15% unavailable**: Realistic for daily maintenance needs (2-4 trains in 30-train fleet)
|
| 160 |
+
- **Specific reasons**: Real maintenance categories for authenticity
|
| 161 |
+
|
| 162 |
+
**Distribution Logic**:
|
| 163 |
+
```
|
| 164 |
+
Fleet size = 30 trains
|
| 165 |
+
βββ Fully Healthy: 19-20 trains (can serve all day)
|
| 166 |
+
βββ Partially Healthy: 6 trains (limited availability)
|
| 167 |
+
βββ Unavailable: 4-5 trains (in maintenance/repair)
|
| 168 |
+
```
|
| 169 |
+
|
| 170 |
+

|
| 171 |
+
|
| 172 |
+
#### 3. Fitness Certificates Generation
|
| 173 |
+
```python
|
| 174 |
+
def generate_fitness_certificates(train_id):
|
| 175 |
+
certificates = {
|
| 176 |
+
"rolling_stock": generate_certificate(),
|
| 177 |
+
"signalling": generate_certificate(),
|
| 178 |
+
"telecom": generate_certificate()
|
| 179 |
+
}
|
| 180 |
+
|
| 181 |
+
def generate_certificate():
|
| 182 |
+
roll = random(0, 1)
|
| 183 |
+
|
| 184 |
+
if roll < 0.70: # 70% valid
|
| 185 |
+
expiry_date = today + random(45, 365) days
|
| 186 |
+
status = VALID
|
| 187 |
+
|
| 188 |
+
elif roll < 0.90: # 20% expiring soon
|
| 189 |
+
expiry_date = today + random(7, 30) days
|
| 190 |
+
status = EXPIRING_SOON
|
| 191 |
+
|
| 192 |
+
else: # 10% expired
|
| 193 |
+
expiry_date = today - random(1, 30) days
|
| 194 |
+
status = EXPIRED
|
| 195 |
+
```
|
| 196 |
+
|
| 197 |
+
**Reasoning**:
|
| 198 |
+
- **3 certificate types**: Regulatory requirement for metro safety
|
| 199 |
+
- **70% valid**: Most trains compliant (good operational health)
|
| 200 |
+
- **20% expiring soon**: Warning system for proactive renewal
|
| 201 |
+
- **10% expired**: Reflects renewal process delays (realistic bureaucracy)
|
| 202 |
+
|
| 203 |
+
**Impact on Scheduling**:
|
| 204 |
+
- EXPIRED β Train status = UNAVAILABLE (hard constraint)
|
| 205 |
+
- EXPIRING_SOON β Flagged in alerts, can still operate (soft constraint)
|
| 206 |
+
- VALID β No impact on scheduling
|
| 207 |
+
|
| 208 |
+

|
| 209 |
+
|
| 210 |
+
#### 4. Job Cards (Maintenance Tracking)
|
| 211 |
+
```python
|
| 212 |
+
def generate_job_cards(train_id):
|
| 213 |
+
num_open_cards = weighted_random([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
|
| 214 |
+
weights = [50%, 25%, 15%, 7%, 2%, 1%]
|
| 215 |
+
|
| 216 |
+
blocking_issues = []
|
| 217 |
+
if num_open_cards > 0:
|
| 218 |
+
# Some job cards are "blocking" (critical)
|
| 219 |
+
if random() < 0.3: # 30% chance
|
| 220 |
+
blocking_issues.append(random choice from critical_faults)
|
| 221 |
+
|
| 222 |
+
return JobCards(
|
| 223 |
+
open=num_open_cards,
|
| 224 |
+
blocking=blocking_issues
|
| 225 |
+
)
|
| 226 |
+
```
|
| 227 |
+
|
| 228 |
+
**Reasoning**:
|
| 229 |
+
- **Most trains (50%)**: No open job cards (well-maintained)
|
| 230 |
+
- **25%**: 1 job card (minor issue)
|
| 231 |
+
- **15%**: 2 job cards (moderate maintenance)
|
| 232 |
+
- **Decreasing probability**: Reflects good maintenance practices
|
| 233 |
+
- **Blocking issues**: Critical faults that prevent operation
|
| 234 |
+
|
| 235 |
+
**Impact on Readiness**:
|
| 236 |
+
```python
|
| 237 |
+
readiness_score = base_readiness * (1 - 0.1 * num_open_cards)
|
| 238 |
+
0 cards β 1.0 readiness
|
| 239 |
+
1 card β 0.9 readiness
|
| 240 |
+
2 cards β 0.8 readiness
|
| 241 |
+
5 cards β 0.5 readiness (likely in maintenance)
|
| 242 |
+
```
|
| 243 |
+
|
| 244 |
+
---
|
| 245 |
+
|
| 246 |
+
#### 5. Branding & Advertisement
|
| 247 |
+
```python
|
| 248 |
+
def generate_branding():
|
| 249 |
+
advertiser = random choice from:
|
| 250 |
+
- COCACOLA-2024
|
| 251 |
+
- FLIPKART-FESTIVE
|
| 252 |
+
- AMAZON-PRIME
|
| 253 |
+
- RELIANCE-JIO
|
| 254 |
+
- TATA-MOTORS
|
| 255 |
+
- SAMSUNG-GALAXY
|
| 256 |
+
- NONE (50% probability)
|
| 257 |
+
|
| 258 |
+
if advertiser != "NONE":
|
| 259 |
+
contract_hours_remaining = random(50, 500)
|
| 260 |
+
exposure_priority = random choice:
|
| 261 |
+
- LOW (40%)
|
| 262 |
+
- MEDIUM (30%)
|
| 263 |
+
- HIGH (20%)
|
| 264 |
+
- CRITICAL (10%)
|
| 265 |
+
else:
|
| 266 |
+
contract_hours_remaining = 0
|
| 267 |
+
exposure_priority = "NONE"
|
| 268 |
+
```
|
| 269 |
+
|
| 270 |
+
**Reasoning**:
|
| 271 |
+
- **50% no branding**: Half the fleet has no ads (realistic for public transport)
|
| 272 |
+
- **50% branded**: Active advertising contracts
|
| 273 |
+
- **Real brand names**: Examples of typical advertisers (FMCG, tech, retail)
|
| 274 |
+
- **Priority levels**: Different SLA requirements based on contract value
|
| 275 |
+
|
| 276 |
+
**Scheduling Impact**:
|
| 277 |
+
- HIGH/CRITICAL branded trains prioritized for peak hours
|
| 278 |
+
- Maximizes passenger exposure β higher advertiser ROI
|
| 279 |
+
- Adds revenue optimization objective to schedule
|
| 280 |

+
|
| 283 |
+
#### 6. Mileage Distribution
|
| 284 |
+
```python
|
| 285 |
+
def get_realistic_mileage_distribution(num_trains):
|
| 286 |
+
# Target average: 150,000 km (5-7 years of operation)
|
| 287 |
+
# Standard deviation: 20,000 km (variation in usage)
|
| 288 |
+
|
| 289 |
+
base_mileages = normal_distribution(
|
| 290 |
+
mean=150000,
|
| 291 |
+
std=20000,
|
| 292 |
+
size=num_trains
|
| 293 |
+
)
|
| 294 |
+
|
| 295 |
+
# Add age-based clustering
|
| 296 |
+
# 30% newer trains (100k-130k)
|
| 297 |
+
# 50% mid-life trains (130k-170k)
|
| 298 |
+
# 20% older trains (170k-200k)
|
| 299 |
+
|
| 300 |
+
return clipped(base_mileages, min=80000, max=220000)
|
| 301 |
+
```
|
| 302 |
+
|
| 303 |
+
**Reasoning**:
|
| 304 |
+
- **Normal distribution**: Natural wear pattern over time
|
| 305 |
+
- **Mean 150,000 km**: Typical for 5-7 year old fleet
|
| 306 |
+
- **Clustering**: Reflects batch procurement (trains bought in groups)
|
| 307 |
+
- **Variance**: Different usage patterns (some trains used more than others)
|
| 308 |
+
|
| 309 |
+
**Impact**:
|
| 310 |
+
- High mileage β lower priority (balance wear across fleet)
|
| 311 |
+
- Mileage variance β optimization objective (minimize imbalance)
|
| 312 |
+
|
| 313 |

| 315 |
+
#### 7. Readiness Score Calculation
|
| 316 |
+
```python
|
| 317 |
+
def calculate_readiness_score(train):
|
| 318 |
+
score = 1.0 # Start at perfect
|
| 319 |
+
|
| 320 |
+
# Factor 1: Certificate status (-30% if expired)
|
| 321 |
+
if any_certificate_expired:
|
| 322 |
+
score *= 0.0 # Cannot operate
|
| 323 |
+
elif any_certificate_expiring_soon:
|
| 324 |
+
score *= 0.85 # Minor penalty
|
| 325 |
+
|
| 326 |
+
# Factor 2: Job cards (-10% per card)
|
| 327 |
+
score *= (1.0 - 0.1 * num_open_job_cards)
|
| 328 |
+
|
| 329 |
+
# Factor 3: Component health (average of all components)
|
| 330 |
+
score *= average(component_health_scores)
|
| 331 |
+
|
| 332 |
+
# Factor 4: Time since last major maintenance
|
| 333 |
+
days_since_maintenance = (today - last_major_service).days
|
| 334 |
+
if days_since_maintenance > 90:
|
| 335 |
+
score *= 0.9 # Needs service soon
|
| 336 |
+
|
| 337 |
+
# Factor 5: Age/mileage penalty
|
| 338 |
+
if mileage > 180000:
|
| 339 |
+
score *= 0.95
|
| 340 |
+
|
| 341 |
+
return max(0.0, min(1.0, score))
|
| 342 |
+
```
|
| 343 |
+
|
| 344 |
+
**Reasoning**:
|
| 345 |
+
- **Multi-factor assessment**: Holistic train health evaluation
|
| 346 |
+
- **Hard constraints**: Expired certificates β score = 0
|
| 347 |
+
- **Soft degradation**: Accumulating issues gradually reduce score
|
| 348 |
+
- **Realistic range**: Most trains score 0.7-0.95
|
| 349 |
+
- **Bounded [0,1]**: Normalized for optimization algorithms
|
| 350 |
+
|
| 351 |

|
| 352 |
+
|
| 353 |
+
#### 8. Depot & Bay Assignment
|
| 354 |
+
```python
|
| 355 |
+
DEPOT_BAYS = ["BAY-01", "BAY-02", ..., "BAY-15"] # 15 parking bays
|
| 356 |
+
IBL_BAYS = ["IBL-01", ..., "IBL-05"] # 5 inspection bays
|
| 357 |
+
WASH_BAYS = ["WASH-BAY-01", "WASH-BAY-02", "WASH-BAY-03"]
|
| 358 |
+
|
| 359 |
+
def assign_depot_bay(train_status):
|
| 360 |
+
if train_status == "REVENUE_SERVICE":
|
| 361 |
+
return "IN-SERVICE" # Not at depot
|
| 362 |
+
|
| 363 |
+
elif train_status == "STANDBY":
|
| 364 |
+
return random choice from DEPOT_BAYS
|
| 365 |
+
|
| 366 |
+
elif train_status == "MAINTENANCE":
|
| 367 |
+
# 70% in regular bay, 30% in inspection bay
|
| 368 |
+
if random() < 0.7:
|
| 369 |
+
return random choice from DEPOT_BAYS
|
| 370 |
+
else:
|
| 371 |
+
return random choice from IBL_BAYS
|
| 372 |
+
|
| 373 |
+
elif train_status == "CLEANING":
|
| 374 |
+
return random choice from WASH_BAYS
|
| 375 |
+
```
|
| 376 |
+
|
| 377 |
+
**Reasoning**:
|
| 378 |
+
- **15 depot bays**: Typical for 25-30 train fleet (some trains in service)
|
| 379 |
+
- **5 IBL (Inspection) bays**: Specialized maintenance facilities
|
| 380 |
+
- **3 wash bays**: Limited washing capacity (bottleneck)
|
| 381 |
+
- **Random assignment**: Simulates dynamic depot management

|
| 664 |
+
### 5. Readiness Score Distribution
|
| 665 |
+
|
| 666 |
+
```
|
| 667 |
+
Expected distribution (histogram):
|
| 668 |
+
|
| 669 |
+
0.95-1.00 (Excellent): βββββββ 7 trains (25%)
|
| 670 |
+

+
< 0.50 (Critical): β 1 train (3%)
|
| 674 |
+
```
|
| 675 |
+
|
| 676 |
+
**Mean**: 0.84
|
| 677 |
+
**Median**: 0.87
|
| 678 |
+
**Std Dev**: 0.12
|
| 679 |

|
| 682 |
+
## Validation & Quality Assurance
|
| 683 |
+
|
| 684 |
+
### Automated Validation Checks
|
| 685 |
+
|
| 686 |
+
#### 1. **Constraint Validation**
|
| 687 |
+
```python
|
| 688 |
+
def validate_generated_data(data):
|
| 689 |
+
assert len(data.trainsets) == num_trains
|
| 690 |
+
assert all(0 <= t.readiness_score <= 1.0 for t in trainsets)
|
| 691 |
+
assert sum(t.status == "REVENUE_SERVICE") >= min_service_trains
|
| 692 |
+
assert sum(t.status == "STANDBY") >= min_standby_trains
|
| 693 |
+
```
|
| 694 |
+
|
| 695 |
+
#### 2. **Distribution Testing**
|
| 696 |
+
```python
|
| 697 |
+
# Test health status distribution
|
| 698 |
+
healthy_count = count(status == "healthy")
|
| 699 |
+
assert 0.60 <= healthy_count / total <= 0.70 # Should be ~65%
|
| 700 |
+
|
| 701 |
+
# Test certificate validity
|
| 702 |
+
expired_count = count(certificates == "EXPIRED")
|
| 703 |
+
assert 0.08 <= expired_count / total_certs <= 0.12 # Should be ~10%
|
| 704 |
+
```
|
| 705 |
+
|
| 706 |
+
#### 3. **Logical Consistency**
|
| 707 |
+
```python
|
| 708 |
+
# Expired certificates β Unavailable status
|
| 709 |
+
for train in trainsets:
|
| 710 |
+
if any_certificate_expired(train):
|
| 711 |
+
assert train.status != "REVENUE_SERVICE"
|
| 712 |
+
|
| 713 |
+
# Blocking job cards β Maintenance/Unavailable
|
| 714 |
+
for train in trainsets:
|
| 715 |
+
if len(train.job_cards.blocking) > 0:
|
| 716 |
+
assert train.status in ["MAINTENANCE", "UNAVAILABLE"]
|
| 717 |
+
```
|
| 718 |
+
|
| 719 |
+
#### 4. **Statistical Tests**
|
| 720 |
+
```python
|
| 721 |
+
# Mileage distribution (Shapiro-Wilk test for normality)
|
| 722 |
+
mileages = [t.cumulative_km for t in trainsets]
|
| 723 |
+
statistic, p_value = shapiro(mileages)
|
| 724 |
+
assert p_value > 0.05 # Accept null hypothesis (normal distribution)
|
| 725 |
+
|
| 726 |
+
# Readiness scores (mean should be around 0.85)
|
| 727 |
+
mean_readiness = mean([t.readiness_score for t in trainsets])
|
| 728 |
+
assert 0.80 <= mean_readiness <= 0.90
|
| 729 |
+
```

## Usage in System
|
| 734 |
+
|
| 735 |
+
### 1. **Initial Training Data Generation**
|
| 736 |
+
```python
|
| 737 |
+
# Generate 150 schedules for ML training
|
| 738 |
+
for i in range(150):
|
| 739 |
+
generator = MetroDataGenerator(num_trains=25 + (i % 15))
|
| 740 |
+
route = generator.generate_route()
|
| 741 |
+
health_statuses = generator.generate_train_health_statuses()
|
| 742 |
+
|
| 743 |
+
# ... generate schedule and save
|
| 744 |
+
```
|
| 745 |
+
|
| 746 |
+
### 2. **API Request Handling**
|
| 747 |
+
```python
|
| 748 |
+
@app.post("/api/v1/generate")
|
| 749 |
+
def generate_schedule(request):
|
| 750 |
+
generator = MetroDataGenerator(
|
| 751 |
+
num_trains=request.num_trains,
|
| 752 |
+
num_stations=request.num_stations
|
| 753 |
+
)
|
| 754 |
+
|
| 755 |
+
# Generate fresh synthetic data for this request
|
| 756 |
+
route = generator.generate_route()
|
| 757 |
+
health = generator.generate_train_health_statuses()
|
| 758 |

### 3. **Testing & Benchmarking**
|
| 765 |
+
```python
|
| 766 |
+
# Generate edge case scenarios
|
| 767 |
+
scenarios = {
|
| 768 |
+
"high_maintenance": lambda: set_maintenance_rate(0.30),
|
| 769 |
+
"certificate_crisis": lambda: set_expiry_rate(0.25),
|
| 770 |
+
"low_availability": lambda: set_healthy_rate(0.50)
|
| 771 |
+
}
|
| 772 |
+
|
| 773 |
+
for name, scenario in scenarios.items():
|
| 774 |
+
data = generate_synthetic_data_with(scenario)
|
| 775 |
+
result = optimize(data)
|
| 776 |
+
assert result.feasible
|
| 777 |

## Limitations & Future Enhancements
|
| 782 |
+
|
| 783 |
+
### Current Limitations
|
| 784 |
+
|
| 785 |
+
1. **Static Patterns**: Health status doesn't evolve over time
|
| 786 |
+
2. **Independent Generation**: Each train generated independently (no fleet-wide correlations)
|
| 787 |
+
3. **Simplified Geography**: Linear distance interpolation (doesn't model actual track layout)
|
| 788 |
+
4. **No Seasonality**: Doesn't model seasonal variations (monsoon, festivals)
|
| 789 |
+
5. **No Historical Trends**: Doesn't consider past schedules or performance
|
| 790 |
+
|
| 791 |
+
### Planned Enhancements
|
| 792 |
+
|
| 793 |
+
1. **Time-Series Generation**: Model degradation over days/weeks
|
| 794 |
+
2. **Correlated Failures**: If one train has HVAC issue, higher probability for others
|
| 795 |
+
3. **GIS Integration**: Use actual station coordinates and track geometry
|
| 796 |
+
4. **Event Modeling**: Special events, holidays, peak seasons
|
| 797 |
+
5. **Historical Patterns**: Learn from past schedules to generate more realistic data
|
| 798 |
+
6. **Real Data Validation**: Compare synthetic data distributions with actual KMRL data (when available)
|
