Abstract

This paper addresses the capacity planning problem of coordinating train services and network maintenance windows for a railway system. We present model reformulations, for a mixed integer linear optimization model, which give a mathematically stronger model and substantial improvements in solving performance - as demonstrated with computational experiments on a set of synthetic test instances. As a consequence, more instances can be solved to optimality within a given time limit and the optimality gap can be reduced quicker.
