Overview

Objectives:

During this project, an alternative system of contracting routes of the railway network is supposed to be developed. It is aimed at basing it on the auctioning of rail network capacities.to replace the ordinary first-come-first-serve regime of allocating slots for the German rail network.

Methodology:

The steps to developing the contracting system of the rail network were the following:

  •  Development of the auctioning design and software for the conduct of auctions
  • Process of mathematical optimization of the route allocation at certain levels of   demand and infrastructure
  • Appropriate mapping of infrastructure and the way of driving of trains to enable   mathematical approaches
  • Development of an iterative approach for evaluating the optimization results under support of the operational planning software RailSys for adjusting the mapping of the infrastructure
