Multi-objective optimization of railway operation. Collaboration with Beijing Jiaotong University-China

A.P. Cucala A. Fernández-Cardador A. Fernández Rodríguez

February 2019 - February 2021

Funding entity State Key Lab of Rail Traffic Control and Safety (Beijing Jiaotong University)

Participated by State Key Lab of Rail Traffic Control and Safety (Beijing Jiaotong University)


This project is a collaboration between Comillas University and the State Key Lab of Rail Traffic Control and Safety (Beijing Jiaotong University-China).
It aims to tackle the optimal operation of trains in a railway system. Optimal operation can be achieved by means of a two level optimization problem. These levels optimize not only the train speed profiles but also the timetable. The tasks of this project produce methods to assist the designing process of efficient operation in a railway line applying multi-objective optimization techniques and Pareto analysis.
