Abstract
This thesis adopts optimization approaches to tackle the traffic management problem for railway networks, aiming at achieving better performance of railway operations, in terms of punctuality, reliability, non-discrimination, capacity utilization, and energy efficiency. Specifically, the following four aspects are considered: - Non-discriminatory traffic control; - Traffic control cooperating with a preventive maintenance plan; - Traffic control integrating with train control; - Distributed optimization of traffic control for large networks.
