An intermodal rail terminal is a facility where the transfer of cargo occurs between truck and rail. The operations within these terminals involve many resources and operating rules. The ability of a terminal to respond to activity peaks that occur as a result of train arrivals and departures is critical. In order to explore how operations can be improved given the dynamics of resource and dema...

The most popular dispatching rule for double-track segments is to dedicate one track for trains traveling in one direction. However, today passenger trains are able to travel at a much faster speed compared to freight trains, but the limitation of the rail infrastructure makes it more cost effective to allow the passenger trains to share some portions of the railway tracks with the slower freig...

The definition of train scheduling is going to shift its current static approach, as generally resulting in a timetable, towards dynamic approach where the timetable can be modified order enhance satisfaction passengers’ demand. In this paper, demand-oriented and rescheduling models are formalized propose that satisfy groups passengers. More specifically, assessment based on min max method. pro...

High-speed train delay prediction has always been one of the important research issues in railway dispatching. Accurate and interpretable can enable staff to implement preventive measures scheduling decisions advance, guide relevant departments cooperate completing complex transportation tasks, so as improve rail transit operations, service quality, efficiency operation. This article proposes a...

This paper presents the problem of scheduling security teams to patrol a mass rapid transit rail network of a large urban city. The main objective of patrol scheduling is to deploy security teams to stations of the network at varying time periods subject to rostering as well as security-related constraints. We present several mathematical programming models for different variants of this proble...

Based on cellular automaton and multi-agent model, we propose a novel hybrid model for distributed simulation of train-group in the railway traffic. An improved cellular automaton model is designed for simulating the underlying structure of the railroad and a multi-agent model is used for dynamic scheduling of the train-group. The combination of both models answers for the distributed simulatio...
