SCOPE
Solving railway optimization problems requires a coordinated interdisciplinary effort from various areas in mathematical optimization and theoretical computer science, including graph and network algorithms, theory of computation, approximation algorithms, combinatorial optimization, and algorithm engineering.
The goal of the workshop is to provide a forum for the exchange and dissemination of new ideas, techniques, and research in the field of railway optimization. In particular, the workshop is meant to bring together researchers from the above areas interested in ALL aspects of algorithmic methods and models for railway optimization, including the development of algorithms, experimental studies, and useful prototype implementations.
TOPICS
Papers are solicited in all aspects of algorithmic methods and models for railway optimization problems including (but not limited to):
- Infrastructure Planning
- Line Planning
- Timetable Generation
