Trains normally run as scheduled in a non-disrupted situation. However, due to the external and internal factors, trains may deviate from the original timetable during daily operations. To this end, the involved dispatchers are required to select the proper strategy to reschedule disrupted trains efficiently. We focus on the train rescheduling in a seriously disrupted situation where a track segment is completely blocked for a relatively long period of time, e.g., 2 hours. In this disrupted situation, trains cannot pass the blocked segment during the disruption. To properly handle the disrupted trains, mainly two train rescheduling strategies are applied: disrupted trains waiting strategy and disrupted trains turning back strategy. This research will analyze the feasibility of these two strategies and quantitatively compare their performance. Train rescheduling problems under the two strategies are formulated by two mixed integer programming models. Finally, we test our models on the Chinese high speed railway.
