Liu, X. (author), Dabiri, A. (author), Wang, Yihui (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)Real-time train scheduling is essential for passenger satisfaction in urban rail transit networks. This paper focuses on real-time train scheduling for urban rail transit networks considering uncertain time-dependent passenger origin-destination demands. First, a macroscopic passenger flow model we proposed before is extended to include...journal article 2023

An MPC-Based Rescheduling Algorithm for Disruptions and Disturbances in Large-Scale Railway NetworksCavone, Graziana (author), van den Boom, A.J.J. (author), Blenkers, Lex (author), Dotoli, Mariagrazia (author), Seatzu, Carla (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)Railways are a well-recognized sustainable transportation mode that helps to satisfy the continuously growing mobility demand. However, the management of railway traffic in large-scale networks is a challenging task, especially when both a major disruption and various disturbances occur simultaneously. We propose an automatic rescheduling...journal article 2022

Fu, J. (author), Nunez, Alfredo (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)Natural disasters pose a tremendous risk to the reliability of distribution networks. In this paper, a novel real-time UAV routing strategy for coordination between monitoring and inspection for post-disaster restoration in distribution networks is proposed. With our proposed real-time UAV routing strategy, damages can be inspected by UAVs...journal article 2022

Wang, Yihui (author), Zhu, Songwei (author), Li, Shukai (author), Yang, Lixing (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)In practice, the operation of high-speed trains is often affected by adverse weather conditions or equipment failures, which result in delays and even cancellations of train services. In this article, a novel two-layer hierarchical model predictive control (MPC) model is proposed for on-line high-speed railway delay management and train...journal article 2022
