This paper provides an overview of the research in railway scheduling and dispatching. A
distinction is made between tactical scheduling, operational scheduling and re-scheduling …

Train re-scheduling problems are popular among researchers who have interest in the
railway planning and operations fields. Deviations from normal operation may cause inter …

In the US, freight railways are one of the major means to transport goods from ports to inland
destinations. According to the Association of American Railroad's study, rail companies …

My interests in railway operations research started with the European project “COMBINE2-
enhanced COntrol center for fixed and Moving Block sIgNalling systEm 2”. I got this chance …

The past few decades have witnessed numerous applications of operations research in
logistics, and these applications have resulted in substantial cost savings. However, the US …

This article addresses the problem of generating conflict‐free periodic train timetables for
large railway networks. We follow a two‐level approach, where a simplified track topology is …

In this paper, we develop new formulations for the locomotive planning problem (LPP) which
is one of the most important railroad optimization problems. The objective of the LPP is to …

In this paper, we present a new approach to solve the railway rescheduling problem. This
problem deals with the reparation of a disturbed railway timetable after incidents in such a …

Many railway companies in Europe operate periodic timetables. Yet most timetables are not
entirely periodic but have a mixture of different periodicities and many exceptions to cope …

Transports via rail are increasing, and major railway infrastructure investments are expected.
An important part of this infrastructure is the railway power supply system (RPSS). Future …
