Planning a railway infrastructure is an extensive process. Placement and interaction of all infrastructural elements including security components like signals and level crossings has to be considered. Verifying the railway infrastructure against legal guidelines is an important task within this planning process. The verification purpose is to ensure a safe operation on the infrastructure. Duri...

Short-term passenger flow forecasting is an important component of transportation systems. The forecasting result can be applied to support transportation system operation and management such as operation planning and revenue management. In this paper, a divide-and-conquer method based on neural network and origin-destination (OD) matrix estimation is developed to forecast the short-term passen...

The most important issue in railway systems is to provide safe transportation. Since no error can be tolerated in railway systems it is an obligation to use reliable signalization and interlocking systems which have to decide what to do in unexpected situations like switch disruptions or signal light defects. By the rapid development in railway systems more formal methods are needed for modelin...

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...

Simulation methods are widely used in railway planning and operation. However, at the moment there are no applicable solutions in the process simulation for a smooth transition among different infrastructure levels on the basis of a unified structure with consistent algorithm. In this paper, a multi-scale simulation model is designed with consideration of the level of detail of the investigated...

Efficient public transportation is becoming increasingly vital for modern capitals. DSB S-tog a/s is the major supplier of rail traffic on the infrastructure of the city-rail network in Copenhagen. S-tog has experienced a demand for increasing volume and quality of the transportation offered to the customers, and has concurrently been met with demands for higher efficiency in the daily operatio...
