چکیده
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 Operations Research, including real-time timetable rescheduling and real-time rescheduling of the rolling stock and crew duties. These topics are addressed in this paper. Also research dealing with the integration of more than one rescheduling phase is discussed. Currently, the developed methods have been tested mainly in an experimental setting, thereby showing promising results, both in terms of their solution quality and in terms of their computation times. The application of these models and algorithms in real-life railway systems will be instrumental for increasing the quality of the provided railway services, leading to an increased utilization of the involved railway systems.

An Iterative Framework for Real-time Railway Rescheduling
Since disruptions in railway networks are inevitable, railway operators and infrastructure managers need reliable measures and tools for disruption management. Current literature on railway disruption management focuses most of the time on rescheduling one resource (timetable, rolling stock or crew) at the time. In this research, we describe an iterative framework in which all three resources a...
متن کاملA Review on Quantitative Models in Railway Rescheduling
This paper draws an overview of various quantitative rescheduling models that have been developed in past research in dealing with delay management of passenger railway services. In general, the quantitative models highlighted aimed to reduce or minimize the service delays experienced by passengers when service disruptions occur. In many literatures observed, the delay management problems are f...
متن کاملConstrained Controller Design for Real-time Delay Recovery in Metro Systems
This study is concerned with the real-time delay recovery problem in metro loop lines. Metro is the backbone of public transportation system in large cities. A discrete event model for traffic system of metro loop lines is derived and presented. Two effective automatic controllers, linear quadratic regulator (LQR) and model predictive controller (MPC), are used to recover train delays. A newly-...
متن کاملOperating Room Scheduling Considering Patient Priorities and Operating Room Preferences: A Case Study
Operating rooms have become the most important areas in hospitals because of the scarcity and cost of resources. The present study investigates operating room scheduling and rescheduling considering the priority of surgical patients in a specialized hospital. The ultimate purpose of scheduling is to minimize patient waiting time, surgeon idle time between surgeries, and penalties for deviations...
متن کاملA Comparison of Two Exact Methods for Passenger Railway Rolling Stock (Re)Scheduling
In passenger railway optimization one of the main goals is to make efficient plans that can accommodate all passengers or, if that is not possible, that minimize the seat shortages. In the planning process, a railway operator tries to match the demand by first selecting an appropriate timetable followed by a matching rolling stock schedule. We focus on the second stage where a rolling stock sch...
