Abstract
The enhancement of European Railway Traffic Management Systems (ERTMS) can lead to shorter headway requirements between trains and faster connections for passengers. However, the deployment of ERTMS or other digital infrastructure in a railway network is a lengthy and costly process subject to many constraints. Consequently, infrastructure decisions must be strategically planned over time to maximize passenger benefits.
This research introduces a novel model aimed at optimizing the deployment of infrastructure upgrades in a railway network over a given planning horizon. We propose a Mixed Integer Linear Programing formulation based on the Periodic Event Scheduling Problem formulation for cyclic timetabling. Furthermore, we develop heuristics to tackle this new problem and its operational requirements. We present results on a set of real-life instances from the Netherlands.
