Railway system performances depend on effective dynamic scheduling and train operation
control. The fast expansion and increasing complexity of high-speed railway (HSR) networks …

In the daily operation of metro systems, the train scheduling problem aims to find a set of
space-time paths for multiple trains that determine their departure and arrival times at metro …

In a heavily congested metro line, unexpected disturbances often occur to cause the delay of
the traveling passengers, infeasibility of the current timetable and reduction of the …

Train timetabling and rolling stock circulation planning are two important optimization
problems that arise in the daily operations of urban rail transit lines. This study proposes a …

With the drastic increase of travel demands in urban areas, more and more metro lines are
nowadays suffering from oversaturated situations, leading to the accumulation of …

This paper develops an operational strategy in which urban rail transit is used for freight
transport. An environment-friendly urban freight transportation alternative is analyzed by …

The dynamic positioning system (DPS) is a complex mechatronic system consisting of
multiple sub-disciplines. For such highly coupled sub-disciplines and sub-systems within the …

For high-frequency metro lines, the excessive travel demand during the peak hours brings a
high risk to metro system and a low comfort to passengers, so it is important to consider …

Train stop plans and timetables play key roles in railway operation. Previous research has
demonstrated that their integration can significantly improve the quality of a train timetable …

The development of new technologies that allow us to know more precisely real-time public
transport (PT) passenger demand enables the introduction of new methodologies to improve …
