RailLille2017 is the 7th International Conference on Railway Operations Modelling and Analysis. It will promote interdisciplinary discussions in the railway operations research area by combining the expertise of academics and professionals.
RailLille2017 will give researchers and practitioners the opportunity to meet, to present their latest research, and to discuss current developments and applications.
Scientific issues
RailLille2017 solicits contributions dealing with any aspect of railway planning and operation. Typical, but not exclusive, topics of interest are:
Land use, mobility and line planning
Capacity and robustness in saturated networks
Optimal network timetabling and maintenance schedules
Passenger flows in stations, on platform, and dwell time distribution
Impact of signaling and safety systems on capacity and punctuality
Validation of stochastic analytical and simulation models
Timetable stability, punctuality, temporal and spatial distributions of timetable margins
Impact of train priorities, dispatching rules and dedicated lines on network capacity
Scheduling and routing of passenger and freight trains
Real-time rescheduling, disturbance and disruption management
Energy-efficient driving and driver advisory systems
Prediction of route conflicts, arrival and departure times
Impact of climate change on future railway operation
Governance, benchmark analysis and performance evaluation
