Routing of Railway Carriages: A Case Study

In the context of organizing timetables for railway companies the following railway carriage routing problem occurs. Given a timetable containing rail links with departure and destination times/stations and the composition of the trains, find a routing of railway carriages such that the required carriages are always available when a train departs.

A particle swarm optimization method for periodic vehicle routing problem with pickup and delivery in transportation

In this article, multiple-product PVRP with pickup and delivery that is used widely in goods distribution or other service companies, especially by railways, was introduced. A mathematical formulation was provided for this problem. Each product had a set of vehicles which could carry the product and pickup and delivery could simultaneously occur. To solve the problem, two meta-heuristic methods...

Rotation Planning of Locomotive and Carriage Groups with Shared Capacities

In a large railway passenger traffic network, a given set of trips or service blocks are to be serviced by equipment consisting of several groups of locomotives/carriages. The allowed groups per service block are predefined as patterns or multisets of locomotives and carriages. A given type of locomotive/carriage may occur with varying numbers in several groups. We search for a cost-minimal ass...
