Network-based systems are at the core of our everyday life. Whether it is electronic
networking, electricity grids or transportation, users expect the networks to function properly …

The paper aims to provide an overview of the key factors to consider when performing
reliable modelling of rail services. Given our underlying belief that to build a robust …

One of the key challenges in project organizations is the alignment of portfolio management
with major corporate strategies. Usually, project-based organizations use shared resources …

In this study, a new mathematical programming approach for solving the joint timetabling
and train stop planning problem in a railway line with double-track segments is proposed …

Environmental changes and increased uncertainty due to technical damage, explosions and
large fires have caused the risk of an inevitable element in the gas industry. This study …

In urban metro systems, several factors such as passenger congestion may affect the
movement of trains, resulting in significant deviations from the planned timetable. This study …

This paper presents a self-learning decision making procedure for robust real-time train
rescheduling in case of disturbances. The procedure is applicable to aperiodic timetables of …

This study presents a comprehensive review of different problem models for managing
railway operations by problem-type classification. Railway terminology was used to identify …

Urban rail planning is extremely complex, mainly because it is a decision problem under
different uncertainties. In practice, travel demand is generally uncertain, and therefore, the …

In this study, a multi-commodity network flow model is proposed to optimize the railroad
capacity under temporary line blockage. The proposed model enables the assessment of …
