Heuristic Approach to Train Rescheduling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Starting from the defined network topology and the timetable assigned beforehand, the paper considers a train rescheduling in respond to disturbances that have occurred. Assuming that the train trips are jobs, which require the elements of infrastructure – resources, it was done by the mapping of the initial problem into a special case of job shop scheduling problem. In order to solve the given problem, a constraint programming approach has been used. A support to fast finding “enough good” schedules is offered by original separation, bound and search heuristic algorithms. In addition, to improve the time performance, instead of the actual objective function with a large domain, a surrogate objective function is used with a smaller domain, if there is such.

Using a general-purpose Mixed-Integer Linear Programming solver for the practical solution of real-time train rescheduling
At a planning level, train scheduling consists of optimizing the routing and scheduling for a set of trains on a railway network. In real-time operations, however, the planned schedule constantly needs to be verified and possibly updated due to disruptions/delays that may require train rerouting or cancelation. In practice, an almost immediate reaction is required when unexpected events occur, ...

Train rescheduling plays a vital role in railway operation. Many factors should be considered in the train rescheduling process and train class, delayed time, remaining distance and current position are the most common ones. There are usually different measures aiming at corresponding factors and combinations of the measures with different priorities compose various train rescheduling strategie...
