Optimization at Deutsche Bahn: Aspects and Examples
نویسنده
چکیده
For large transportation companies like Deutsche Bahn, process optimization has always been an important task to reduce production costs and obtain a better position in competition. Applying methods of mathematical optimization in practice often is rather difficult though, which may lead to some unique constraints that could make the optimization process rather hard. This contribution shall discuss some practical issues for mathematical optimization at Deutsche Bahn and will give

ATMOS 2006 Abstracts Collection - Presentations at the 6th Workshop on Algorithmic Methods and Models for Optimization of Railways
We present a game-theoretic model for the line planning problem in public transportation, in which each line acts as player and aims to minimize a cost function which is related to the traffic along its edges. We analyze the model and in particular show that a potential function exists. Based on this result, we present a method for calculating equilibria and present first numerical results usin...
متن کاملRouting in Graphs with Applications to Material Flow Problems
Material flow problems are complex logistic optimization problems. We want to utilize the available logistic network in such a way that the load is minimized or the throughput is maximized. This lecture deals with these optimization problems from the viewpoint of network flow theory and reports on two industrial applications: (1) contolling material flow with automated guided vehicles in a cont...

متن کاملLocomotive and Wagon Scheduling in Freight Transport
We present a new model for a strategic locomotive scheduling problem arising at the Deutsche Bahn AG. The model is based on a multi-commodity min-cost flow formulation that is also used for public bus scheduling problems. However, several new aspects have to be additionally taken into account, such as cyclic departures of the trains, time windows on starting and arrival times, network-load depe...
متن کاملNumerical simulation of train traffic in large networks via time - optimal control
We discuss the mathematical modelling of schedule based rail traffic. The model is used to develop efficient numerical simulation methods for the time optimal control of a large number of interacting trains in a large network. The time optimal control is used to model the realistic behaviour of driving in a network like that of Deutsche Bahn. It is used to allow a real time simulation with inco...
