Ghaemi, N. (author), Cats, O. (author), Goverde, R.M.P. (author)Currently railway traffic controllers use predefined solutions (contingency plans) to deal with a disruption. These plans are manually designed by expert traffic controllers and are specific to a certain location and timetable. With a slight change in the timetable or infrastructure, these plans might not be feasible and have to be updated....journal article 2017

Scheepmaker, G.M. (author), Goverde, R.M.P. (author), Kroon, Leo (author)The energy consumption of trains is highly efficient due to the low friction between steel wheels and rails, although the efficiency is also influenced largely by the driving strategy applied and the scheduled running times in the timetable. Optimal energy-efficient driving strategies can reduce operating costs significantly and contribute to a...journal article 2016

Li, Dewei (author), Daamen, W. (author), Goverde, R.M.P. (author)Train dwell time is one of the most unpredictable components of railway operations, mainly because of the varying volumes of alighting and boarding passengers. However, for reliable estimations of train running times and route conflicts on main lines, it is necessary to obtain accurate estimations of dwell times at the intermediate stops on...journal article 2016

Bešinović, Nikola (author), Goverde, R.M.P. (author), Quaglietta, E. (author)This article tackles the real-world planning problem of railway operations. Improving the timetable planning process will result in more reliable product plans and a higher quality of service for passengers and freight operators. We focus on the microscopic models for computing accurate track blocking times for guaranteeing feasibility and...journal article 2016

Van Oort, N. (author), Sparing, D. (author), Brands, T. (author), Goverde, R.M.P. (author)Due to reduced budgets, higher political expectations and increasing competition between operators, there is growing pressure on public transport companies and authorities to improve their operational efficiency. It is thus of utter importance for them to be able to identify inefficiencies, bottlenecks and potentials in their public transport...journal article 2015

Scheepmaker, G.M. (author), Goverde, R.M.P. (author)An important topic to reduce the energy consumption in railways is the use of energy-efficient train control (EETC). Modern trains allow regen-erative braking where the released kinetic energy can be reused. This regener-ative braking has an effect on the optimal driving regimes compared to trains which can only use mechanical braking. This...conference paper 2015

Ghaemi, N. (author), Goverde, R.M.P. (author), Cats, O. (author)Railway trafic controllers have only limited decision support to deal with disruptions. The aim of this research is to provide an algorithm to compute conflict-free routes for trains that cannot continue their planned operation due to a track obstruction. In case of complete blockage, trains need to short-turn at the closest possible station to...conference paper 2015

Yan, F. (author), Bešinović, Nikola (author), Goverde, R.M.P. (author)To satisfy the growing passenger transportation demands and improve the service quality in a railway system, a high-quality line plan needs to be designed. Line planning is an initial optimization problem in the process of railway transportation management, which includes the origin and destination (OD) of trains, routes, stop patterns and...conference paper 2015

Kecman, P. (author), Goverde, R.M.P. (author)Accurate estimation of running and dwell times is important for all levels of planning and control of railway traffic. The availability of historical track occupation data with a high degree of granularity inspired a data-driven approach for estimating these process times. In this paper we present and compare the accuracy of several approaches...journal article 2015

Goverde, R.M.P. (author), Scheepmaker, G.M. (author)Energy-efficient train operation is not yet included in the timetable design process in the Netherlands. Hence, running time supplements are not optimally distributed in the timetable. Therefore research has been conducted on the possibilities to better incorporate energy-efficient train operation into the railway timetable. This paper describes...conference paper 2015
