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 …

In this paper we survey the main studies dealing with the train timetabling problem in its
nominal and robust versions. Roughly speaking, the nominal version of the problem …

Efficiently coordinating the movement of trains on a railway network is a central part of the
planning process for a railway company. This paper reviews models and methods that have …

In this paper we study the design and optimization of train timetabling adapted to a dynamic
demand environment. This problem arises in rapid train services which are common in most …

The railway crew scheduling problem consists of finding the most efficient duty combination
for railway crews to cover all trains and related activities for a defined period of time. Crew …

Publisher Summary Railway transportation can be split into passenger transportation and
cargo transportation. This chapter discusses the European situation, where the major part 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 …

In December 2006, Netherlands Railways introduced a completely new timetable. Its
objective was to facilitate the growth of passenger and freight transport on a highly utilized …
