Aoun, J. (author), Goverde, R.M.P. (author), Nardone, Roberto (author), Quaglietta, E. (author), Vittorini, Valeria (author)Moving Block (MB) and Virtual Coupling (VC) rail signalling will change current train operation paradigm by migrating vital equipment from trackside to onboard to reduce train separation and maintenance costs. Their actual deployment is however constrained by the industry's need to identify configurations of MB and VC signalling equipment...journal article 2024

Wang, Z. (author), Quaglietta, E. (author), Bartholomeus, Maarten (author), Cunillera, A. (author), Goverde, R.M.P. (author)Automatic Train Operation (ATO) is a technology to support or automate train driving for increasing service punctuality, energy efficiency and rail infrastructure capacity. Conflict-free train path planning is crucial to the effective deployment of ATO, which allows ATO-equipped trains to operate according to schedule with different train...abstract 2023

Versluis, N.D. (author), Pellegrini, Paola (author), Quaglietta, E. (author), Goverde, R.M.P. (author), Rodriguez, Joaquin (author)Conflict detection and resolution models are being developed to support railway traffic management in taking optimised rescheduling decisions in case of disturbances. Existing models mostly concern fixed-block signalling systems, in which minimum train separation distances are determined based on a preset number of blocks representing worst-case...abstract 2023

Rigos, K. (author), Quaglietta, E. (author), Goverde, R.M.P. (author)This paper reviews the concept of self-organisation as defi ned in diff erent fi elds and attempts to provide a defi nition of goal-oriented self-organization that can be applied in the context of railway traffi c. Based on the provided defi nition a modelling approach for self-organising rail traffi c is then proposed to set the basis for...abstract 2023

Versluis, N.D. (author), Quaglietta, E. (author), Goverde, R.M.P. (author), Pellegrini, Paola (author), Rodriguez, Joaquin (author)Railway traffic management is responsible for the detection and resolution of conflicts in case of disturbed operations. To minimise delay propagation, rescheduling decisions are taken by human dispatchers, possibly supported by mathematical models. Existing conflict detection and resolution (CDR) models mostly refer to conventional fixed...journal article 2023

Quaglietta, E. (author), Spartalis, Panagiotis (author), Wang, Meng (author), Goverde, R.M.P. (author), van Koningsbruggen, Paul (author)To address the ever-growing rail transport demand, the concept of Virtual Coupling train operations is gradually gaining ground within the railway industry. Thanks to a Vehicle-to-Vehicle communication, trains could be separated by less than an absolute braking distance and even form connected platoons to increase capacity at bottlenecks....journal article 2022

Wang, Z. (author), Quaglietta, E. (author), Bartholomeus, Maarten G.P. (author), Goverde, R.M.P. (author)Automatic Train Operation (ATO) is well-known in urban railways and gets increasing interest from mainline railways at present to improve capacity and punctuality. A main function of ATO is the train trajectory generation that specifies the speed profile over the given running route considering the timetable and the characteristics of the...journal article 2022

Zhao, Kangqi (author), Wang, Yihui (author), Ding, Miaomiao (author), Li, Shukai (author), Quaglietta, E. (author), Meng, Lingyun (author)More and more people in big cities choose urban rail transit as the main means of public transportation. With the increasing unbalanced passenger flow in time and space, the traditional operation mode with fixed train formation (or composition) is difficult to satisfy the varying passenger demands. This paper distinguishes different train...conference paper 2022

van Lieshout, R. N. (author), van den Akker, J. M. (author), Mendes Borges, R. (author), Druijf, T. (author), Quaglietta, E. (author)This paper analyzes the effectiveness of decentralized strategies for dispatching rolling stock and train drivers in a railway system. Such strategies give operators a robust alternative in case centralized control fails due to an abundance of infrastructure or rolling stock disruptions or information system malfunctions. We test the...journal article 2022
