This paper reviews and classifies the traffic optimisation schemes of current mainline railway
into two groups. One is to improve the efficiency of traffic management by providing …

Nowadays, energy efficiency is a key requirement for railway systems in order to reduce
operating costs. One of the main solutions for implementing energy efficiency is the …

In this paper we propose a simulation-based framework for evaluating energyefficient
solutions in train operation. The general framework is composed of an optimisation system …

Nowadays, railways play an increasingly important role in our daily lives. Many experts and
engineers are making their own efforts to optimise railways whether it involves increasing …

The increasing demand for transportation services in already heavily used railway networks
has fostered extensive innovations in railway traffic management and train operation. These …

Störungen sind im komplexen und von vielfältigen externen Einflüssen mitbestimmten
Bahnbetrieb oft unvermeidbar und führen id R. zu Abweichungen vom Fahrplan. Die …

In this chapter, the optimal trajectory planning problem for the operation of a single train
under various constraints and with a fixed arrival time is considered. The objective function …
