Abstract
The optimal creation of timetables under various aspects is a topic in many research and implementation projects. Various procedures and mathematical approaches are used as well as modelling, target functions and perspectives.
For example, timetables can be optimized from a railway undertaking’s perspective in terms of resource and circulation planning, from an infrastructure operator's perspective focussing capacity perspective, or from a transport association's perspective from traffic and stream considerations.
On European main railways, it became practice for a separated, independent company - usually infrastructure manager - to be responsible for coordinating and synchronizing the various requirements and wishes of the various parties involved and bringing them together into a common timetable.
The timetable processes are generally subject to predetermined agendas, phases and conditions, e.g. early route registrations, international traffic, route prices and priorities, framework agreements, etc.
As a practical report, the article presents an approach to making this timetable planning process available as a usable IT service through a service interface and gives a brief insight into the scenarios, usages and working methods as well as results of such service components and organizes them into the practical process and the framework conditions of practice-relevant systems automated timetable planning.
