This paper presents a novel approach to solve a railway rescheduling problem using a Mixed Integer Goal Programming (MIGP) model rescheduling timetable based on train priorities whenever a service disruption occurs. The objectives are to minimize the total delay time of all trains in the rail line and maximize the service reliability. The experiments were done on Malaysian double track railway system and the model was solved using a heuristics approach great influence on the total delay time and service reliability. This r more advanced and practical model as it is able to produce the provisional timetable in short computing time and the solution generated satisfies all the restrictions posed by the rail operator.

KeywordsProgramming (MIGP) model. The model is developed to find a new rescheduling timetable based on train priorities whenever a service disruption occurs. The objectives are to minimize the total delay time of all trains in the rail line and maximize the service reliability. The experiments were done on Malaysian double track railway system and the model was solved using a heuristics approach. The result shows that train priority has a great influence on the total delay time and service reliability. This research has proposed a more advanced and practical model as it is able to produce the provisional timetable in short computing time and the solution generated satisfies all the restrictions posed by the rail rescheduling; mathematical modelling; service disruptions; priority.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
