Other ; This paper provides an overview of the research in railway scheduling and dispatching. A distinction is made between tactical scheduling, operational scheduling and re-scheduling. Tactical scheduling refers to master scheduling, whereas operational scheduling concerns scheduling at a later stage. Re-scheduling focuses on the re-planning of an existing timetable when deviations from it have occurred. 48 approaches published between 1973 and 2005 have been reviewed according to a framework that classifies them with respect to problem type, solution mechanism, and type of evaluation. 26 of the approaches support the representation of a railway network rather than a railway line, but the majority has been experimentally evaluated for traffic on a line. 94 % of the approaches have been subject to some kind of experimental evaluation, while approximately 4 % have been implemented. The solutions proposed vary from myopic, priority-based algorithms, to traditional operations research techniques and the application of agent technology.This paper provides an overview of the research in railway scheduling and dispatching.
