Abstract Throughout its history, Operational Research has evolved to include methods,
models and algorithms that have been applied to a wide range of contexts. This …

With the expansion of urban rail networks and the increase of passengers demand, the
coordination of strongly connected lines becomes more and more important, because …

This paper focuses on how to minimize the total passenger waiting time at stations by
computing and adjusting train timetables for a rail corridor with given time-varying origin-to …

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 …

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 …

Urban transit system is an important part of city transportation, which is an interdisciplinary
industry, including traffic engineering, operation research, and computer science. To provide …

We study the integration of train scheduling and rolling stock circulation planning under time-
varying passenger demand for an urban rail transit line, where the practical train operation …

Railway planning is a complex activity which is usually decomposed into several stages,
traditionally network design, line design, timetabling, rolling stock, and staffing. In this paper …

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 …

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 …
