Flows in railway optimization
نویسنده
چکیده
The Netherlands has an intricate network of railway tracks to connect its many closely situated cities. Recently, the railroad timetable has been completely updated. Unlike the yearly manual adjustments of the past, this update was done using mathematical techniques. For the Dutch public, this was a rare opportunity to come into contact with mathematics. The research that resulted in the new timetable won a team of CWI consisting, besides Lex Schrijver, of Gábor Maróti and Adri Steenbeek the prestiguous Franz Edelman Award for Achievement in Operations Research and the Management Sciences.

Modeling the 0-1 Knapsack Problem in Cargo Flow Adjustment
China’s railway network is one of the largest railway networks in the world. By the end of 2016, the total length of railway in operation reached 124,000 km and the annual freight volume exceeded 3.3 billion tons. However, the structure of network does not completely match transportation demand, i.e., there still exist a few bottlenecks in the network, which forces some freight flows to travel ...
متن کاملA particle swarm optimization method for periodic vehicle routing problem with pickup and delivery in transportation
In this article, multiple-product PVRP with pickup and delivery that is used widely in goods distribution or other service companies, especially by railways, was introduced. A mathematical formulation was provided for this problem. Each product had a set of vehicles which could carry the product and pickup and delivery could simultaneously occur. To solve the problem, two meta-heuristic methods...
متن کاملMulti-objective Optimization of web profile of railway wheel using Bi-directional Evolutionary Structural Optimization
In this paper, multi-objective optimization of railway wheel web profile using bidirectional evolutionary structural optimization (BESO) algorithm is investigated. Using a finite element software, static analysis of the wheel based on a standard load case, and its modal analysis for finding the fundamental natural frequency is performed. The von Mises stress and critical frequency as the proble...
متن کاملStudy of Superconducting Fault Current Limiter Device in a AC Railway System
Development of the electric networks led to more interconnection in this system, therefore high level of short circuit faults flows in the networks. Many destructive damages such as instability, insulation problems and voltage mitigation can highly play unwanted influences on the system’s equipment. Using appropriate protection devices like high voltage fuses, fast switches, and such devices...
متن کاملApplication of Fuzzy Linear Programming Method to Examine Routing of Passenger Trains
The aim of this study is to develop a methodology for selection of routing of different categories of intercity passenger trains taking into account of the uncertainty of the processes and using the fuzzy linear programming method. The fuzzy theory allows for the presentation of real data with uncertainty due to imprecise measurement. This research studies the fuzzy problems with fuzzy constrai...
