Railway maintenance reservation scheduling considering detouring delays and maintenance demand

Railway maintenance works are performed to reduce the probability of occurrence a failure on components railway infrastructure. The scheduling work is important in supporting normal daily operation railway. By proper scheduling, operational hindrance terms extra travel costs due detouring can be minimized. In addition, contractors given more space execute activities with flexibility. This study aims optimize schedules for both train operators and by considering flexibility stakeholders, respectively. tries achieve this modeling factors contributing objectives relevant constraints multi-objective optimization problem. methods presented solving model ɛ-constraint method NSGA-II. Two path finding algorithms modified consider limitations used support solutions methods. Both solution strategies initially tested fictive networks analyze performance. case study, Dutch network assessed create new based model.
