An Optimization Model for Simultaneous Periodic Timetable Generation and Stability Analysis

We present an optimization model which is able to generate feasible periodic timetables for networks given the line structure and the requested line frequencies, taking into account infrastructure constraints and train overtake locations. As the model uses the minimum cycle time as the objective function, the stability of the timetable is also...

Benchmark analysis of railway networks and undertakings

Benchmark analysis of railway networks and companies has been stimulated by the European policy of deregulation of transport markets, the opening of national railway networks and markets to new entrants and separation of infrastructure and train operation. Recent international railway benchmarking studies which are mostly based on statistical...
