A high-speed train needs high-level maintenance when its accumulated running mileage or time reaches predefined threshold. The date of delivering an Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) train to maintenance ranges within a time window rather than…
In this paper, we devise a scheduling algorithm for ordering transmission of synchrophasor data from the substation to the control center in as short a time frame as possible, within the realtime hierarchical communications infrastructure…
The problem of multi-area interchange scheduling under system uncertainty is considered. A new scheduling technique is proposed for a multi-proxy bus system based on stochastic optimization that captures uncertainty in renewable generation…
Line planning in public transport is the strategic problem of selecting lines and their operating frequencies. This problem is important as it defines the passenger service, based on available connections and expected travel times, and…
The number of railway service disruptions has been increasing owing to intensification of natural disasters. In addition, abrupt changes in social situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic require railway companies to modify the traffic…
We study real-time routing policies in smart transit systems, where the platform has a combination of cars and high-capacity vehicles (e.g., buses or shuttles) and seeks to serve a set of incoming trip requests. The platform can use its…
Rail is a cost-effective and relatively low-emission mode for transporting intermodal containers over long distances. This paper addresses tactical planning of intermodal railroad operations by introducing a new problem that simultaneously…
Bundle methods are often used to solve dual problems that arise from Lagrangian relaxations of large scale optimization problems. An example of such problems is the train timetabling problem. This paper focuses on solving a dual problem…
Time-dependent (or temporal) properties may arise in many network-based planning problems, particularly in the routing and scheduling of railway track inspection problems. The availability of tracks depends on the train schedules,…
Route planning for a fleet of vehicles is an important task in applications such as package delivery, surveillance, or transportation, often integrated within larger Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). This problem is commonly…
Electric Vehicles (EVs) are becoming increasingly prevalent nowadays, with studies highlighting their potential as mobile energy storage systems to provide grid support. Realising this potential requires effective charging coordination,…
This paper introduces a combined approach for the recovery of a timetable by rescheduling trips and vehicle circulations for a rail-based transportation system subject to disruptions. We propose a novel event-based integer programming (IP)…
With the growing penetration of electric trucks, freight transportation is transitioning toward a mixed system comprising both fuel-powered and electric trucks. Enhancing truck platoon formation in such a heterogeneous environment presents…
In this paper, a novel transport planning model system (TPMS) is formulated which is built on the concepts of supernetworks, multi-modality, integrity and calibration. In the proposed formulation, activity travel pattern (ATP) choice facets…
This paper studies the problem of optimizing the train formation plan and traffic routing (TFP&TR) simultaneously. Based on the previous research of TFP&TR with determinate parameters, we consider the fluctuation of flows and associate the…
This work presents a model for the Tramp Ship Scheduling problem including berth allocation considerations, motivated by a real case of a shipping company. The aim is to determine the travel schedule for each vessel considering multiple…
The rapid growth of urban populations and the increasing need for sustainable transportation solutions have prompted a shift towards electric buses in public transit systems. However, the effective management of mixed fleets consisting of…
This paper provides a classification of real scheduling problems. Various ways have been examined and described on the problem. Scheduling problem faces a tremendous challenges and difficulties in order to meet the preferences of the…
In this study, the periodic train timetabling problem is formulated using a time-space graph formulation. Three solution methods are proposed and compared where solutions are built by what we define as a dive-and-cut-and-price procedure. An…
In between transportation services, trains are parked and maintained at shunting yards. The conflict-free routing of trains to and on these yards and the scheduling of service and maintenance tasks is known as the train unit shunting and…
