Abstract
In this paper we discuss dynamic traffic management of railway networks. The
main aim of the controller is to recover from delays in an optimal way by
breaking connections and changing the departure of trains (at a cost). To model
the railway system we 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. This
problem can be solved with a genetic algorithm or with a mixed integer linear
programming algorithm. We also apply the algorithm to a model of the Dutch
railway network.
