Method for Energy-efficient Timetable Rescheduling for Small-scale Delays

Abstract

We proposed a method for energy-efficient timetable rescheduling for small-scale delays using mathematical optimization. In the developed algorithm, the timetable rescheduling is converted for reducing the powering energy and increasing the regenerative energy. We considered passenger convenience under the condition that the total time from the starting station to the terminal station of each train did not change. This paper describes the details of the method for energy-efficient timetable rescheduling and reports the results of a case study using actual railway line data.
