Automated Generation and Optimization of Public Railway and Rail Freight Transport Time Tables
نویسندگان
چکیده
Railway traffic now and in future faces ever-growing challenges. On the one hand, infrastructure measures must be planned and in the medium respectively long term corresponding operating programs have to be generated. On the other hand, in the short term economical and political reasons exert increasing influence on the requirements of timetabling as well. Hence, they can hardly be efficiently handled with manual effort. Consequently, it exists the need for highly optimized, automated algorithms and its corresponding intelligent conjunction. A state-of-the-art realization is reflected in the software system TAKT, which is developed in close cooperation with the German railway company DB Netz AG. The implementation offers a complete new approach to solve the problems like computing conflict-free, optimized time tables or searching, optimizing and maximizing rail freight transport train paths based on an existing operating program. In this work, the different program component and their interactions among each other will be presented and discussed.

Currently, road transportation is the main mode of freight transit in Iran and about 90% of freight transit is done through this mode of transportation which is not in line with the transportation policies that based on them 70% of the freight transit should be done through road transportation and 30% of the freight transit should be done through rail transportation. However, Iran's railway net...

The rail freight carload service segment enables the distribution of freight volumes down to the unit of single rail cars, and stand as an important alternative to road transportation. However, this service segment is often associated with significant uncertainties and variations in daily freight volumes. Such uncertainties are challenging to manage since operating plans generally are establish...
