During railway operations unexpected events can require railway operators and infrastructure managers to adjust their schedules. In this research we investigate the disruption management process. More specifically, we come up with an architecture and algorithmic framework which railway operators could use for decision support during disruptions. The use of this framework results in a fully feasible timetable, rolling stock plan, and crew schedule to deal with the disruption, while minimizing the number of delayed and/or (partially) cancelled trains. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework on a disruption case on the Dutch Railway network, which is introduced within the EU FP7 project ON-TIME.
