Download or read book Railway Transportation in South Asia written by Saptarshi Mitra and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-08-20 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses policy instruments for sustainable infrastructure developments. Railways are one of the most important developmental instruments of a region, province, or country. They play a crucial role in economic development, urban growth, urban mobility, regional susceptibility, market integration, and world trade. Railways are an integral part of regional and urban development, both in terms of freight and passenger transport. By offering case studies from various regions and cities in South Asia, this book examines the evolution of railway transportation and the impact of these infrastructure projects on regional and urban development. It examines the interactions between evolving infrastructures and competing demands and considers the negative and positive externalities of railway transportation for people, places, and locations. The contributions analyze issues such as network infrastructure planning and technological development, passenger mobility and satisfaction, vulnerability to environmental impacts, and cross-border trade.

Download or read book Handbook of Optimization in the Railway Industry written by Ralf Borndörfer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book promotes the use of mathematical optimization and operations research methods in rail transportation. The editors assembled thirteen contributions from leading scholars to present a unified voice, standardize terminology, and assess the state-of-the-art. There are three main clusters of articles, corresponding to the classical stages of the planning process: strategic, tactical, and operational. These three clusters are further subdivided into five parts which correspond to the main phases of the railway network planning process: network assessment, capacity planning, timetabling, resource planning, and operational planning. Individual chapters cover: Simulation Capacity Assessment Network Design Train Routing Robust Timetabling Event Scheduling Track Allocation Blocking Shunting Rolling Stock Crew Scheduling Dispatching Delay Propagation

This book was released on 2021-07-16 with total page 668 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the methodological and application developments of network design in transportation and logistics. It identifies trends, challenges and research perspectives in network design for these areas. Network design is a major class of problems in operations research where network flow, combinatorial and mixed integer optimization meet. The analysis and planning of transportation and logistics systems continues to be one of the most important application areas of operations research. Networks provide the natural way of depicting such systems, so the optimal design and operation of networks is the main methodological area of operations research that is used for the analysis and planning of these systems. This book defines the current state of the art in the general area of network design, and then turns to its applications to transportation and logistics. New research challenges are addressed. Network Design with Applications to Transportation and Logistics is divided into three parts. Part I examines basic design problems including fixed-cost network design and parallel algorithms. After addressing the basics, Part II focuses on more advanced models. Chapters cover topics such as multi-facility network design, flow-constrained network design, and robust network design. Finally Part III is dedicated entirely to the potential application areas for network design. These areas range from rail networks, to city logistics, to energy transport. All of the chapters are written by leading researchers in the field, which should appeal to analysts and planners.

Download or read book Timetable Planning and Information Quality written by Ingo A. Hansen and published by WIT Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book comprises a number of research papers presented at several Computers in Railways Conferences. It has been compiled by Ingo A. Hansen, President of the International Association of Railway Operations Research (IAROR) and comprises selected papers originating from different countries, such as Denmark, France, Germany, Japan, Italy, Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland. The papers give an overview of the current state-of-the-art analytical approaches, methods and simulation tools for the modelling and analysis of network timetables, the distribution of train delays and real-time rescheduling of perturbed operations. The topics include e.g. railway capacity estimation according to the UIC norm 406, train punctuality analysis based on standard track occupation and clearance data, and boarding, alighting and distribution of passengers along suburban trains, as well as fast recognition and resolution of conflicts between train movements in case of disturbances by means of real-time speed adaptation, re-ordering or re-routing. The book can serve as an introduction to the theory of railway traffic, timetable design, operations analysis, simulation, safety and control for Master and PhD students from engineering faculties and professionals working in the railway industry.

Download or read book Models and Methods for Operational Planning in Freight Railroads written by Xiaoyan Si and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Railroads are facing increasing demand for freight transportation. Effective planning and scheduling are crucial to improve the utilization of expensive resources (such as crew and track), reduce operational costs, and provide on-time service. This dissertation focuses on problem modeling and solution method development for real planning problems faced by railroads. It consists of three chapters that study two important planning problems in the daily operations of U.S. freight railroads: crew assignment and train movement planning. Chapter 2 proposes an optimization model to decide crew-to-train assignments and deadheads for double-ended crew districts. We develop an effective solution approach, combining optimization and a standalone heuristic, that generates optimal solutions in minutes. The excellent performance of this solution approach makes it well-suited for implementation within a real-time decision support tool for crew dispatchers. Chapter 3 discusses crew repositioning given the uncertainty in trains' arrival and departure times. We propose models that minimize the expected crew holding, train delay, and deadheading cost, and develop both exact and heuristic solution methods to provide insights for crew planning under train schedule uncertainty. The last chapter studies the movement planning problem for trains traveling in a territory with multiple through tracks (mainlines) and various junctions. We explore a number of heuristic algorithms to obtain good solutions within a reasonable amount of time. The contributions of this dissertation include modeling enhancements, algorithmic development, implementation and computational testing, and validation using real data.
