Abstract
In this paper we consider the modeling and control of railway networks. The
main aim of the control is to recover from delays in an optimal way by breaking
connections and changing the departure of trains (at a cost). To model the
controlled railway system we will use a switching max-plus-linear system
description. We define the optimal control design problem for the railway
network, and we show that solving this problem leads to an integer optimization
problem. By solving an easier low-dimensional real-valued optimization problem
we obtain good initial values for the integer optimization problem.
