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 …

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 …

For high-frequency metro lines, the excessive travel demand during the peak hours brings a
high risk to metro system and a low comfort to passengers, so it is important to consider …

The cyclic train timetabling problem aims to synchronize limited operational resources
toward a master periodic schedule of transport services. By introducing an extended time …

Designing a passenger-centric railway service is of great importance for railway companies
to attract more passengers and increase their revenue. Focusing on the passenger-centric …

The aim of this paper is to analyze and to improve the current planning process of the
passenger railway service in light of the recent railway market changes. In order to do so, we …

This paper provides an overview of railway timetable design in practice and the
combinatorial optimization models that have been proposed for this application, putting …

In metro systems, a tactical train schedule with the rolling stock circulation plan aims to
determine the movements of all physical trains. To utilize the regenerative energy as much …

This paper aims to propose a flexible method for optimizing the service-oriented train
timetable and utilization of different service trains in an urban rail transit line, in which the …

In this study, we focus on how to optimize multi-type train scheduling problems in a
practically available and computationally efficient manner. When solving the complicated …
