Priority based technique for rescheduling trains

Abstract

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. This paper presents a novel approach to solve a railway rescheduling problem using a Mixed 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.
