Computational Design in Railway Simulations: Challenges and Hope in Timetable Engineering

DC I/O 2022 Workshop by Gijsbert Westerhuis. https://doi.org/10.47330/DCIO.2022.PFBA7732 | Watch

Abstract

The environment of Railway Timetabling is dynamic with a fundamental need for adaptability on short notice. An excellent example where the use of computational design would be very beneficial. However, its use is still limited, many human actions are still necessary and progress is rather slow. During this workshop, you will get acquainted with the Railway industry, and its challenges for computational design and together, we will find solutions to these challenges.

Keywords
