Abstract

In dense railway networks, infrastructure capacity is a great limitation and the planning tasksbecome more complex and time consuming. We propose a new two-stage model for solving a robust periodic timetabling problem that aims at finding a timetable that uses minimally theexisting capacity and maximizes the robustness. The experimental results report high qualitytimetables and give an insight into appropriate objective functions. Finally, the computationaltimes seem promising for practical uses
