Abstract:
We study the integration of real-time traffic management and train control by using mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) and mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) approaches. Three innovative integrated optimization approaches for real-time traffic management that inherently include train control are developed to deliver both a train dispatching solution (including train routes, orders, departure and arrival times at passing stations) and a train control solution (i.e., train speed trajectories). Train speed is considered variable, and the blocking time of a train on a block section dynamically depends on its real speed. The experimental results demonstrate the benefits of the integration, i.e., train delays can be reduced by managing train speed.

Biography:
Yihui Wang is an associate professor at the State Key Laboratory of Rail Traffic Control and Safety, Beijing Jiaotong University. She received her Ph.D. degree in train control and train scheduling for railway systems from the Delft Center for Systems and Control, Delft University of Technology, Delft, The Netherlands in 2014. Her research interests include energy-efficient train control, train scheduling, disruption management, and optimization algorithms.
