An exact decomposition approach for the real-time train dispatching problem

L Lamorgese, C Mannino - Operations Research, 2015 - pubsonline.informs.org
Trains' movements on a railway network are regulated by official timetables. Deviations and
delays occur quite often in practice, demanding fast rescheduling and rerouting decisions in …

Optimal train dispatching by Benders'-like reformulation

L Lamorgese, C Mannino… - Transportation …, 2016 - pubsonline.informs.org
Train movements on railway lines are generally controlled by human dispatchers. Because
disruptions often occur, dispatchers make real-time scheduling and routing decisions in an …

Modeling network transition constraints with hypergraphs

S Harrod - Transportation Science, 2011 - pubsonline.informs.org
Discrete time dynamic graphs are frequently used to model multicommodity flows or activity
paths through constrained resources, but simple graphs fail to capture the interaction effects …

The dispatching problem on multitrack territories: Heuristic approaches based on mixed integer linear programming

M Boccia, C Mannino, I Vasilyev - Networks, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Trains running through railway lines often accumulate some delay. When this happens,
rescheduling and rerouting decisions must be quickly taken in real time. Despite the fact that …

Integrated modeling of high performance passenger and freight train planning on shared-use corridors in the US

A Talebian, B Zou - Transportation Research Part B: Methodological, 2015 - Elsevier
This paper studies strategic level train planning for high performance passenger and freight
train operations on shared-use corridors in the US. We develop a hypergraph-based, two …
