clockface schedules

by applying the principle of clockface schedules or clockface scheduling.

What it means is that ships/trains/planes always leave at the same time each hour or every xxx hours. For example, a train would systematically leave at 15 minutes past the hour or a ship would regularly sail every two hours on the hour

"Clockface" is the term used in the trade

you may not find too many people who actually know about this - it is pretty specialist - but if you look up "cadencé" in French you may well also find further correlation

[by defining a] timetable

I'd probably go fro something like this.
Timetable feels like the most appropriate in the context.
Not sure you need to say its "pre-established" because a timetable or schedule is inherently defined in advance.

fixed (timetable)/fixed (schedule)

After seeing the above link, the explanation would be a train departing a certain station at every fixed hour or minutes, for example 10:15, 10:45, 11:15, 11:45, and so on. I would say a fixed schedule or fixed timetable.
