This paper analyses the literature to identify ideas which may be applied to decentralized real-time railway traffic management. This system represents a new way for dealing with railway traffic perturbations in absence of a central decision maker. Specifically, we are interested in identifying techniques that may constitute suitable automatic mech...

This paper deals with the real-time problem of scheduling and routing trains in a railway network. In the related literature, this problem is usually solved starting from a subset of routing alternatives and computing the near-optimal solution of the simplified routing problem. We study how to select the best subset of routing alternatives for each...
Railway traffic is often perturbed by unexpected events causing delays, which may greatly propagate. Nowadays, dispatchers deal with delays trying to limit this propagation with scarce decision support tools. RECIFE-MILP is an optimization algorithm which may be used to support dispatchers' decisions. In this paper, we illustrate the analysis perfo...
