Given a railway network together with information on the population and their use of the railway infrastructure, we are considering the e ects of introducing new train stops in the existing railway network. One e ect concerns the accessibility of the railway infrastructure to the population, measured in how far people live from their nearest train stop. The second e ect we study is the change i...

In this paper, the build and survived railway stations over the time at which first railway lineconstruction started at Turkey until the present had been examined and the ones which were out of use and lost theiroriginal function with time had been determined. Also the determined building stock had been evaluated based onthe principle of giving new function to the old buildings, in especial of ...

Introduction Providing more comfortable station environment foremost from the customer’s point of view is essential for sustaining railway customers. As the result of surveys regarding comfort and cleanliness of railway stations and airports, approximately 90% of customers answered that airports are more comfortable and cleaner than railway stations (Fig. 1). Customers also have shown a keen in...

The component classification and potential fault region locating in the full-automatic inspection system of a freight train require a computer vision method with the ability of classifying quickly and locating precisely, addressing anti-nonlinear deformations, and being able to perform extensible learning. Inspired by these requirements, this paper specifically optimizes the three elements of a...

The station location problem consists of placing new stations along the railway tracks of an existing network in order to increase the number of users. In this paper we consider the problem for a railway network consisting of two intersecting lines forming an angle α. An approach for solving the problem in polynomial time for sufficiently large angles α is presented.

We consider how to improve railway timetables. As case we take the Rompnet of the dutch railways, a highly constrained problem, containing both hard and soft constraints. We show how to cast the constraints into the format of the Genocop system. Every train should run every hour at the same time and hence the constraints should be interpreted modulo sixty. This gives a non-convex search space o...

We propose a new dynamic row/column management algorithm for freight train scheduling in a single track railway system. While many papers have already been devoted to train scheduling, previously published optimization models still suffer from scalability issues, even for single track railway systems. Moreover, very few of them take into account the capacity constraints, i.e., the number of alt...
