The energy consumption of trains is highly efficient due to the low friction between steel
wheels and rails, although the efficiency is also influenced largely by the driving strategy …

Railways are a rather efficient transport mean, and yet there is increasing interest in
reducing their energy consumption and making them more sustainable in the current context …

Focusing on providing a modelling framework for train operation problems, this paper
proposes a new collaborative optimization method for both train stop planning and train …

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 …

Regenerative braking is an energy recovery mechanism that converts the kinetic energy
during braking into electricity, also known as regenerative energy. In general, most of the …

This paper addresses the problem of improving the integration between passenger
timetabling and track maintenance scheduling. We propose a microscopic optimization …

This paper considers a high-speed rail corridor that requires high fidelity scheduling of train
speed for a large number of trains with both tight power supply and temporal capacity …

Last train timetable rescheduling aims at coordinating the arrival and departure times of
feeder trains with connecting trains at transfer stations to eliminate the effect of unexpected …

Considering the dynamics and randomness of passenger demand, this paper investigates a
train timetabling problem in the stochastic environment for an urban rail transit system. With …

This paper investigates the robust distributed cruise control problem of multiple high-speed
trains under external disturbances. First, by modeling each train as a cascade of point …
