Abstract :
We present a Decision Support System (DSS) for real-time management of railway networks. The DSS employs a mathematical programming approach addressing traffic rescheduling under unexpected disturbances in a mixed-(single- and double-) tracked network. The DSS simulates the network behavior with the mathematical programming model based on the railway topology and constraints, rescheduling the timetable in real time, detecting and solving conflicts in the network. The DSS is applied to a real data set related to a large portion of a regional network in Southern Italy.
