Simultaneous Optimization of Train Timetabling and Platforming Problems for High-Speed Multiline Railway Network

A discrete-event optimization framework for mixed-speed train timetabling problem

Railway scheduling is a complex task of rail operators that involves the generation of a conflict-free train timetable. This paper presents a discrete-event simulation-based optimization approach for solving the train timetabling problem to minimize total weighted unplanned stop time in a hybrid single and double track railway networks. The designed simulation model is used as a platform for ge...

Train Timetabling Problem for Complex Railway Systems

This paper deals with the design of timetables for complex railway systems. Rail transportation has become a rapid, clean and efficient way to transport passengers and freights. A good timetable design is crucial to ensure the quality of the services trying to improve the efficiency of the whole system. Only such a sustainable transportation system will be in accordance to the requirements of f...

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 ...
