| Summary | The two major goals of this research are to develop a mathematical method to solve the railway timetabling problem, and to analyze real ATP and CTC locomotive event records aiming to calibrate important parameters used for timtabling, such as the minimum traveling time for trains between stations, and minimum headway between consecutive trains. For the first goal, in this study we performed basic analysis for the timetabling problem, and reviewed published timetabling models seen in the literature. The model and solution algorithm is described and implemented. Test results using real data from Taiwan Railways Administration confirmed the model is able to solve full-scale, systemwize timetable. Future application of this model is also discussed. Analyzing CTC and ATP data revealed a trove of real data. We confirmed that these data are useful in calibrating timetabling parameters. However, in-depth analysis also identified obstacles that need to be overcome before these data can be used to perform these calibrating. |
