Abstract

The planning of traction units and drivers is a crucial strategic and tactical planning problem for railway companies. Due to the complexity of the individual problems, large railway undertakings typically solve these problems in a sequential manner, i.e., they first generate circulation plans and then use them to generate shift plans. As a consequence, the achievable quality of the shift plans depends on the operational efficiency of the circulation plan, and information dependencies between the two planning steps cannot be exploited. This paper presents different types of integrated circulation and shift planning. An investigation of the inherent challenges and benefits of an integrated planning approach is presented, initial approaches for data structures and algorithms are introduced, and first results are shown.
为有效的铁路运营整合车辆和机组调度的挑战和需求
牵引机组和驾驶员的规划是铁路公司战略战术规划的关键问题。由于个别问题的复杂性,大型铁路企业通常采用顺序的方式解决这些问题,即先生成流通计划,然后再用它来生成班次计划。因此,班次计划的可实现质量取决于循环计划的运行效率,并且无法利用两个规划步骤之间的信息依赖性。本文介绍了不同类型的综合流通和班次规划。对综合规划方法的内在挑战和好处进行了调查,介绍了数据结构和算法的初步方法,并展示了初步结果。
