Efficiently coordinating the movement of trains on a railway network is a central part of the
planning process for a railway company. This paper reviews models and methods that have …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses stochastic and dynamic networks and routing.
The chapter discusses priori optimization in routing, shortest paths, traveling salesman-type …

We discuss the problem of finding an energy-efficient driving strategy for a train journey on
an undulating track with steep grades subject to a maximum prescribed journey time. We …

The aim of this paper is to present a survey of recent optimization models for the most
commonly studied rail transportation problems. For each group of problems, we propose a …

This paper considers the train scheduling problem for an urban rail transit network. We
propose an event-driven model that involves three types of events, ie, departure events …

This paper proposes a novel approach for energy-efficient timetabling by adjusting the
running time allocation of given timetables using train trajectory optimization. The approach …

This paper describes the development and use of a model designed to optimise train
schedules on single line rail corridors. The model has been developed with two major …

This paper develops a multi-objective optimization model for the passenger train-scheduling
problem on a railroad network which includes single and multiple tracks, as well as multiple …

Freight transportation is a vital component of the economy. It supports production, trade, and
consumption activities by ensuring the efficient movement and timely availability of raw …

A fundamental problem in building open distributed systems is to design mechanisms that
compute optimal system-wide solutions despite the self-interest of individual users and …
