Abstract-In order to quantitatively and systematically explain the accident occur process and assess the risk for the complex system, this paper proposes a new accident-causing analysis model, i.e. perturbation-safety region (P-SR) model. In this model, the safety region definition is introduced for the quantitative description of the system safe status; also the change process of the system risk is analyzed. The four relative parts included in this model are described in details, such as the risk resource part, the perturbation part, the alarm and system change part, and the accident part. Finally, the proposed model is applied to railway transportation system, and the Wenzhou train collision is systematically analyzed, also the specified control measure for the train emergency dispatch is demonstrated.

“…Approaches for scheduling both trains and work possessions in the same model are presented in Ruffing (1993), Albrecht et al (2013) and Forsgren et al (2013). In all cases, a small number of maintenance possessions shall be introduced into an existing train timetable, by allowing different types of adjustments to the trains.…”

“…Ruffing (1993) is one of few papers that handle operational restrictions (reduced speed) for trains passing a work site. Albrecht et al (2013) address the real-time operational control case for a single track line, treat maintenance as pseudo trains and allow train times to be adjusted but not cancelled. A probabilistic meta-heuristic procedure (Problem Space Search) is used for obtaining high quality solutions quickly.…”

Railway transportation systems are important for society and have many challenging and important planning problems. Train services as well as maintenance of a railway network need to be scheduled efficiently, but have mostly been treated as two separate planning problems. Since these activities are mutually exclusive they must be coordinated and should ideally be planned together. In this paper we present a mixed integer programming model for solving an integrated railway traffic and network maintenance problem. The aim is to find a long term tactical plan that optimally schedules train free windows sufficient for a given volume of regular maintenance together with the wanted train traffic. A spatial and temporal aggregation is used for controlling the available network capacity. The properties of the proposed model are analysed and computational experiments on various synthetic problem instances are reported. Model extensions and possible modifications are discussed as well as future research directions.

“…In this approach, existing timetables are fed in and then optimised while still allowing timetable planners to make their own adjustments. Albrecht et al 41 take an approach to timetable revision that involves the use of a problem space search heuristic to generate alternative solutions. This approach is particularly relevant to re-scheduling situations due to track and infrastructure maintenance needs.…”

Planning and scheduling activities within the rail industry have benefited from developments in computer-based simulation and modelling techniques over the last 25 years. Increasingly, the use of computational intelligence in such tasks is featuring more heavily in research publications. This paper examines a number of common rail-based planning and scheduling activities and how they benefit from five broad technology approaches. Summary tables of papers are provided relating to rail planning and scheduling activities and to the use of expert and decision systems in the rail industry.
