Planning problems in passenger railway range from long term strategic decision making to
the detailed planning of operations. Operations research methods have played an …

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 …

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

This work addresses a tactical railway traffic scheduling problem focused on the optimization
of train sequencing and routing decisions and timing decisions related to short-term …

Train timetabling, platforming, and network maintenance scheduling are three highly
interdependent problems that are crucial in the planning of railway operations, and each is …

We investigate the train timetabling problem in suburban rail transit lines by considering (1)
the traditional stop** mode (TSM), in which all trains stop at each station, and (2) the …

Rail systems have been develo** rapidly in recent years aiming at satisfying the growing
passenger demand and shortening passenger travel time. The line planning problem (LPP) …

This research paper focuses on the optimization of train timetables and maintenance
windows, both of which significantly impact service quality and cost-effectiveness …

A train platforming problem (TPP) involves assigning platforms and routes to trains
according to the train timetable in a rail station yard. However, locomotive operations not …

Train timetabling and train platforming are problems of crucial importance when scheduling
high-speed trains. Often, these problems are solved separately and in sequence. It is also …
