  1. Shunting passenger train units: Practical planning aspects Ramon Lentink, Pieter-Jan Fioole, Dennis Huisman, Leo Kroon Erasmus University Rotterdam, The Netherlands http://go.to/ecopt AMORE , 3rd Research Seminar October 1 – 4, 2002, Oegstgeest, The Netherlands

  2. Introduction to the problem Solution approach Demonstration of the prototype Summary Contents

  3. DD-IRM ICM3 MAT64 - 2 MAT64 - 4 Examples of train units

  4. Layout of a station

  5. Railway station and surroundings Arriving and departing trains Coupling and uncoupling of units Mixed arrivals and departures within planning period Different types of units Different types of shunt tracks Problem aspects

  6. Shunting overview Routing train units Scheduling personnel SHUNTING Parking train units Cleaning and maintenance

  7. Given arriving shunt units, departing shunt units, shunt tracks and station infrastructure Match the arriving units and the departing units and assign each unit to a shunt track between arrival and departure if necessary, such that: costs are minimized, the capacity of the shunt tracks is never exceeded and there are no conflicts between arriving and departing shunt units and through trains Problem definition

  8. 4 step approach: 1) Match supply and demand of train units 2) Generate efficient routes 3) Assign units to shunt tracks 4) Determine all final routes Solution approach

  9. Increased support for planner More accurate implementation (especially w.r.t. free tracks) Prototype evolved (e.g. input generation, integration with personnel planning, different views on the results) Application to a different station What´s new?

  10. 8 am - 8 am next morning in March 2000 19 shunt tracks, 100 - 400 meters, 16 platforms 84 train units to be shunted during the day, 45 - 190 meters Runtime third step ±8 minutes 731 shunt movements Computational results IRailway station Zwolle in the Netherlands

  11. 8 am - 8 am next morning in March 2000 13 shunt tracks, 50 - 685 meters, 4 platforms 28 train units to be shunted during the day, 50 - 190 meters Runtime third step ±5 seconds 199 shunt movements Computational results IIRailway station Enschede in the Netherlands

  12. The DEMO …

  13. Short description of shunting problem and implemented solution approach Application of solution approach to Zwolle and Enschede Demo of the prototype decision support system Summary
