A Game-Theoretic Approach to Line Planning

Authors: Anita Schöbel and Silvia Schwarze


Abstract
We present a game-theoretic model for the line planning problem in public transportation, in which each line acts as player and aims to minimize a cost function which is related to the traffic along its edges. We analyze the model and in particular show that a potential function exists. Based on this result, we present a method for calculating equilibria and present first numerical results using the railway network of {it Deutsche Bahn}.

An Efficient MIP Model for Locomotive Scheduling with Time Windows

Authors: Martin Aronsson, Per Kreuger, and Jonatan Gjerdrum


Abstract
This paper presents an IP model for a vehicle routing and scheduling problem from the domain of freight railways. The problem is non-capacitated but allows non-binary integer flows of vehicles between transports with departure times variable within fixed intervals. The model has been developed with and has found practical use at Green Cargo, the largest freight rail operator in Sweden.

Freight Service Design for the Italian Railways Company

Authors: Marco Campetella, Guglielmo Lulli, Ugo Pietropaoli, and Nicoletta Ricciardi


Abstract
In this paper, we present a mathematical model to design the service network, that is the set of origin-destination connections. The resulting model considers both full and empty freight car movements, and takes into account handling costs. More specifically, the model suggests the services to provide, as well as the number of trains and the number and type of cars traveling on each connection. Quality of service, which is measured as total travel time, is established by minimizing the waiting time of cars at intermediate stations. Our approach yields a multi-commodity network design problem with concave arc cost functions. To solve this problem, we implement a tabu search procedure which adopts ``perturbing'' mechanisms to force the algorithm to explore a larger portion of the feasible region. Computational results on realistic instances show a significant improvement over current practice.

Locomotive and Wagon Scheduling in Freight Transport

Authors: Armin Fügenschuh, Henning Homfeld, Andreas Huck, and Alexander Martin


Abstract
We present a new model for a strategic locomotive scheduling problem arising at the Deutsche Bahn AG. The model is based on a multi-commodity min-cost flow formulation that is also used for public bus scheduling problems. However, several new aspects have to be additionally taken into account, such as cyclic departures of the trains, time windows on starting and arrival times, network-load dependend travel times, and a transfer of wagons between trains. The model is formulated as an integer programming problem, and solutions are obtained using commercial standard software. Computational results for several test instances are presented.

Periodic Metro Scheduling

Authors: Evangelos Bampas, Georgia Kaouri, Michael Lampis, and Aris Pagourtzis


Abstract
We introduce the { extsc{Periodic Metro Sched-ul-ing}} ({ extsc{PMS}}) problem, which aims in generating a periodic timetable for a given set of routes and a given time period, in such a way that the minimum time distance between any two successive trains that pass from the same point of the network is maximized. This can be particularly useful in cases where trains use the same rail segment quite often, as happens in metropolitan rail networks. We present exact algorithms for ({ extsc{PMS}}) in chain and spider networks, and constant ratio approximation algorithms for ring networks and for a special class of tree networks. Some of our algorithms are based on a reduction to the { extsc{Path Coloring}} problem, while others rely on techniques specially designed for the new problem.

QoS-aware Multicommodity Flows and Transportation Planning

Authors: George Tsaggouris and Christos Zaroliagis


Abstract
We consider the emph{QoS-aware Multicommodity Flow} problem, a natural generalization of the weighted multicommodity flow problem where the demands and commodity values are elastic to the Quality-of-Service characteristics of the underlying network. The problem is fundamental in transportation planning and also has important applications beyond the transportation domain. We provide a FPTAS for the QoS-aware Multicommodity Flow problem by building upon a Lagrangian relaxation method and a recent FPTAS for the non-additive shortest path problem.

Robustness and Recovery in Train Scheduling - a Case Study from DSB S-tog a/s

Authors: Mads Hofman, Line Madsen, Julie Jespersen Groth, Jens Clausen, and Jesper Larsen


Abstract
This paper presents a simulation model to study the robustness of timetables of DSB S-tog a/s, the city rail of Copenhagen. Dealing with rush hour scenarios only, the simulation model investigates the effects of disturbances on the S-tog network. Several timetables are analyzed with respect to robustness. Some of these are used in operation and some are generated for the purpose of investigating timetables with specific alternative characteristics.
