Abstract. The evaluation of the railway infrastructure capacity is an important task of railway companies. The goal is to nd the best infrastructure development plan for scheduling new train services. The question addressed by the present study is how the existing railway infrastructure can be upgraded to decrease the total delay of existing and new trains with minimum cost. To answer this question, a mixed-integer programming formulation is extended for the integrated train scheduling and infrastructure development problem. The train timetabling model deals with the optimum schedule of trains on a railway network and determines the best stop locations for both the technical and religious services. We developed two heuristics based on variable xing strategies to reduce the complexity of the problem. To evaluate the e ect of railway infrastructure development on the schedule of new trains, a sequential decomposition is adopted for Iranian railway network. The outcomes of the empirical analysis performed in this study allow to gain bene cial insights by identifying the bottleneck corridors. The result of the proposed methodology shows that it can signi cantly decrease the total delay of new trains with the most emphasis on the bottleneck sections.

Abstract:The reliability assessment of the railway services is a complex procedure that is affected by many different factors. A railway system is reliable when the trains arrive at their destination within the allowed delay threshold. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of the infrastructure doubling and electrification on the reliability of the train schedules. In this study, advanced event-driven stochastic simulation software is developed to determine the reliability of the train movements. The calculation of the average train delay as a benchmark is provided to evaluate performance. We compared average train delay with the acceptable delay to define a new benchmark to determine the reliability of the train movements. We also analyzed the delay cascading effect along the railway line in order to better illustration of a number of correlations between the arrival and departure delays at different stations. The model has been validated through a real-world case study of Iranian railway. Successful validation of the developed simulation system demonstrated that the model provides accurate reliability estimations in both congested and non-congested situations. Furthermore, the experimental results showed that electrification and doubling improve the reliability significantly.
