Wang, P. (author), Bešinović, Nikola (author), Goverde, R.M.P. (author), Corman, F. (author)Employing regenerative braking in trains contributes to reducing the amount of energy used, especially when applied to commuter trains and to those used on very dense suburban networks. This paper presents a method to fine-tune the periodic timetable to improve the utilization of regenerative energy and to shave power peaks while maintaining...journal article 2022

Alemi, A. (author), Corman, F. (author), Pang, Y. (author), Lodewijks, G. (author)Wheel impact load detectors are widespread railway systems used for measuring the wheel–rail contact force. They usually measure the rail strain and convert it to force in order to detect high impact forces and corresponding detrimental wheels. The measured strain signal can also be used to identify the defect type and its severity. The...journal article 2019

Luan, X. (author), Wang, Y. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author), Meng, Lingyun (author), Lodewijks, G. (author), Corman, F. (author)We study the integration of real-time traffic management and train control by using mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) and mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) approaches. In Part 1 of the paper (Luan et al., 2018), three integrated optimization problems, namely the P<sub>NLP</sub> problem (NLP: nonlinear programming), the P<sub...journal article 2018

(author)We study the integration of real-time traffic management and train control by using mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) and mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) approaches. Three innovative integrated optimization approaches for real-time traffic management that inherently include train control are developed to deliver both a train...journal article 2018

Luan, X. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author), Corman, F. (author), Lodewijks, G. (author)In railway operations, when a disruption occurs, train dispatchers aim to adjust the affected schedule and to minimize negative consequences during and after the disruption. As one of the most important components of the railway system, railway signals are used to guarantee the safety of train services. We study the train dispatching problem...journal article 2018

Luan, X. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author), van den Boom, A.J.J. (author), Corman, F. (author), Lodewijks, G. (author)We introduce a distributed optimization method for improving the computational efficiency of real-time traffic management approaches for large-scale railway networks. We first decompose the whole network into a pre-defined number of regions by using an integer linear optimization approach. For each resulting region, a mixed-integer linear...journal article 2018

Centulio, G. (author), Meng, Lingyun (author), D'Ariano, Andrea (author), Corman, F. (author)This work addresses a tactical railway traffic management problem focused on the opti-mization of train dispatching decisions and timing decisions related to short-term main-tenance works in a railway network subject to disturbed process times. This is modeled as a mixed-integer programming formulation in which the traffic flow and track mainten...abstract 2017

Corman, F. (author), Kraijema, S. (author), Godjevac, M. (author), Lodewijks, G. (author)This article presents a case study determining the optimal preventive maintenance policy for a light rail rolling stock system in terms of reliability, availability, and maintenance costs. The maintenance policy defines one of the three predefined preventive maintenance actions at fixed time-based intervals for each of the subsystems of the...journal article 2017

Alemi, A. (author), Corman, F. (author), Lodewijks, G. (author)Condition monitoring systems are commonly exploited to assess the health status of equipment. A fundamental part of any condition monitoring system is data acquisition. Meaningfully estimating the current condition and predicting the future behaviour of the equipment strongly depend on the characteristic of the data measurement stage. Nowadays,...review 2017

Sama, M. (author), D'Ariano, Andrea (author), Corman, F. (author), Pacciarelli, Dario (author)This paper addresses the real-time problem of coordinating aircraft ground and air operations in an airport area. At a congested airport, airborne decisions are related to take-off and landing operations, while ground (taxiway) decisions consist of scheduling aircraft movements between the gates and the runways. Since the runways are the...conference paper 2017

(author)This work tackles the problem of controlling operations at an automated container terminal. In the context of large supply chains, there is a growing trend for increasing productivity and economic efficiency. New optimization models and algorithms are provided for scheduling and routing equipment that is moving containers in a quay area,...journal article 2016

Corman, F. (author), Viti, F. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author)Optimizing the performance of multimodal freight transport networks involves adequately balancing the interplay between costs, volumes, times of departure and arrival, and times of travel. In order to study this interplay, we propose an assignment model that is able to efficiently determine flows and costs in a multimodal network. The model is...journal article 2015
