Centralized versus distributed systems to reschedule trains in two dispatching areas

F Corman, A D'Ariano, D Pacciarelli, M Pranzo - Public Transport, 2010 - Springer
Railway dispatchers are in charge of rescheduling trains during operations in order to limit
propagation of disturbances occurring in real-time. To help the dispatchers in such task, an …

A place-timed Petri net-based method to avoid deadlock and conflict in railway networks

J Luo, M Zhou, JQ Wang - IEEE Transactions on Intelligent …, 2021 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
