Infrastructure Modeling and Optimization to Solve Real-time Railway Traffic Management Problems

Rail transportation helps to reach the global climate targets because it is characterized by low emission. The passenger and freight volumes on railway increase yearly in line with EU targets. However, delays of trains decrease punctuality reliability sector development infrastructure not enough average speed trains. Delays mean cost passengers, operators, managers, all undertakers. Therefore, reason for most significant optimization target minimize delays. In this paper, a possible solution has been described solve real-time traffic management problems applying mixed-integer linear programming approach. For validation research result, one simplified case study presented. Based presented can provide effective support dispatchers solving problems.
