Abstract :
In this paper, we present Petri net models for the tactical scheduling of railroad operations. The notion of schedule feasibility is explained, notions of various kinds of rail operations-meeting, overtaking, following, and double-track section operations-are briefly reviewed; then the corresponding Petri net models are constructed and fully discussed. Topics on how to use these models to analyze the schedule feasibility are also covered
