Min-Max Approach for High-Speed Train Scheduling and Rescheduling Models

The definition of train scheduling is going to shift its current static approach, as generally resulting in a timetable, towards dynamic approach where the timetable can be modified order enhance satisfaction passengers’ demand. In this paper, demand-oriented and rescheduling models are formalized propose that satisfy groups passengers. More specifically, assessment based on min max method. proposed allows timetables for rail services along multiline network according operational constraints related capacity, speed limits, passenger’s transfers, possible conflict track section use, with main objective minimize travel time set groups. resulted by problem have been used input model predefined disturbances assumed some nodes network. applied real case study high-speed trains Northern Italy.
