Optimal running time supplement distribution in train schedules for energy-efficient train control

Energy-efficient train driving can lead to a significant reduction in both CO₂ emissions and energy consumption. A lot of research has been done on the topic of energy-efficient train control that minimizes total traction energy consumption. Furthermore, the running time supplements in the timetable determine the possibilities for...

Optimal Management of Railway Perturbations by Means of an Integrated Support System for Real-Time Traffic Control

Automatic real-time control of railway traffic perturbations has recently received the attention of practitioners. The aim is to make use of mathematical algorithms to maintain the required service availability during unplanned disturbances to operations. In the literature many tools for real-time traffic control are proposed, but their effects...
