Robust railway station planning: An interaction between routing, timetabling and platforming

Fast Approaches to Robust Railway Timetabling

The Train Timetabling Problem (TTP) consists in finding a train schedule on a railway network that satisfies some operational constraints and maximizes a profit function which counts for the efficiency of the infrastructure usage. In practical cases, however, the maximization of the objective function is not enough and one calls for a robust solution that is capable of absorbing as much as poss...

An Optimization Approa h to Railway Timetabling

Train Timetabling on double track and multiple station capacity railway with

Train scheduling is one of the significant issues in the railway industry in recent years since it has an important role in efficacy of railway infrastructure. In this paper, the timetabling problem of a multiple tracked railway network is discussed. More specifically, a general model is presented here in which a set of operational and safety requirements is considered. The model handles the tr...

railway network timetabling and dynamic traffic management

the paper discusses the current state of research concerning railway network timetabling and traffic management. timetable effectiveness is governed by frequency, regularity, accurate running, recovery and layover times, as well as minimal headway, buffer times and waiting times. analytic (queuing) models and stochastic microsimulation are predominantly used for estimation of waiting times and ...

Periodic Railway Timetabling with Event Flexibility

Abstract. This paper addresses the problem of generating conflict-free periodic train timetables for large railway networks. We follow a two level approach, where a simplified track topology is used to obtain a macro-level schedule, and the detailed topology is considered locally on the micro level. To increase the solution space in the interface of the two levels, we propose an extension of th...
