The efficiency of a transport system depends on several elements, such as available
technology, governmental policies, the planning process, and control strategies. Indeed, the …

This paper presents an overview of recovery models and algorithms for real-time railway
disturbance and disruption management. This area is currently an active research area in …

Modern computation based on von Neumann architecture is now a mature cutting-edge
science. In the von Neumann architecture, processing and memory units are implemented …

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 …

The crew scheduling problem with attendance rates is highly relevant for regional
passenger rail transport in Germany. Its major characteristic is that only a certain percentage …

The issues addressed by the article concern the assessment of energy efficiency in rail
transport, resulting from the proper organization of rail traffic. The problems related to energy …

We present an alternative approach to the problem of periodic crew scheduling. We
introduce the concept of frames which leads us to a modeling approach which suits well the …

Crew planning, involving how to best schedule crew members during a given period, is a
significant problem for urban rail transit companies. This paper proposes a new integer …

This paper presents a novel mathematical formulation in railway crew scheduling,
considering real challenges most European passenger railway companies face like …

Train path (infrastructure), rolling stock and crew scheduling are three critical planning
decisions in railway transportation. These resources are usually planned separately in a …
