Railway Timetabling Optimiser
RTO
„ Railway context
z
z
Following EU policy directives, activities of infrastructure manager and train
operators are separated
Increase in traffic densities is expected
„ Ability to undertake infrastructure planning in a very timely, smooth and
efficient way is becoming a critical task for the infrastructure manager
„ Railway Timetabling Optimiser (RTO) is a decision support tool for strategic
and operational timetabling planning of the rail infrastructure
„ Benefits are:
z
z
z
A better usage of track resources,
An increase of the rail system capacity
Faster replies to requests from train operators

Railway Timetabling Optimiser
RTO
„ Railway Timetabling Optimiser answers questions like:
z
z
z
z
z
What is the best way to plan a number of train services starting from
scratch?
What is the best timetable subject to some specific revenue constraints?
What is the best way to add a new train service to an existing timetable
while minimizing perturbations?
How and when should maintenance operations be planned?
May I build more robust timetables?

Railway Solutions Platform
RTO
„ Railway Timetabling Optimiser’s architecture is based on the Eurobios Railway
Solutions Platform
„ The platform is designed to model and manipulate railway problems related to
infrastructure usage:
z
z
From strategic to operational level
From automatic problem solving (optimizer) to interactive design (semiautomatic or completely manual)
„ Examples:
z

Planning of infrastructure investments
Planning of maintenance operations
Robustness of timetables

Railway Timetabling Optimiser
RTO
„ RTO integrates the railway infrastructure usage model
„ It integrates also railway high-level and low-level constraints:
z
Domain-specific constraints such as:
-
z
Tracks usage (capacity, crossing, headway)
Time window
Stations capacity
Safety
Connections
Train strategic timetabling specific constraints and data model :
- Symmetry
- Strong periodicity

„ Why are Eurobios methods and technologies better?
z
Proprietary Constraints Network:
- Provides a flexible environment for representing all complex constraints
of a domain (e.g., railway systems)
- Manages interactions with the user:
• Gives explanations about eventual constraints violations
• Provides real-time feedback about the impact of changes
performed by the user
- Supports optimisation
z
State of the art optimisation algorithms:
- Genetic Algorithms and Memetic Algorithms
- Meta-heuristics

Results
Benefits for RFI (Rete Ferroviaria Italiana):
- Rationalization of the timetabling construction
process which has been performed by hand until
now
- Proposition of improved timetables subject to a
number of strategic objectives
- Saving time
