This paper addresses a real-life problem arising in the ongoing “Grand Paris” project. We
investigate an environment-friendly urban freight transportation alternative using passenger …

Network-based systems are at the core of our everyday life. Whether it is electronic
networking, electricity grids or transportation, users expect the networks to function properly …

Train timetabling plays a major role in railway planning processes, serving as a link between
service providers and commuters to ensure reliable service delivery. However, mathematical …

In this work, we consider the problem of scheduling a set of trains (ie, determining their
departure and arrival times at the visited stations) and simultaneously deciding their …

Due to the increase in railway traffic, trains increasingly need to adhere to their scheduled
path to avoid extensive propagation of delays. This paper presents the findings of a …

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 …

Train scheduling and maintenance planning compete for the resources in a railway network.
A commonly used way is dealing with maintenance planning first and then train scheduling …

We study the problem of scheduling passenger trains in a highly congested railway double-
track line with the aim of increasing the number of scheduled trains. A feasible timetable of …

Railway line planning and train timetabling are two key planning steps that determine the
operating cost and passenger service quality of a railway operator under the infrastructure …

The cyclic train timetabling problem aims to synchronize limited operational resources
toward a master periodic schedule of transport services. By introducing an extended time …
