A detailed analysis of the actual impact of real-time railway traffic management optimization

Résumé

Railway traffic is often perturbed by unexpected events causing delays, which may greatly propagate. Nowadays, dispatchers deal with delays trying to limit this propagation with scarce decision support tools. RECIFE-MILP is an optimization algorithm which may be used to support dispatchers' decisions. In this paper, we illustrate the analysis performed in collaboration with the French infrastructure manager (SNCF Réseau) to assess the actual impact of the application of optimization in real-time railway traffic management. We perform a twofold experimental analysis on two French complex junctions characterized by intense mixed (passenger and freight) traffic. On the one hand, we assess this impact on scenarios specifically identified as relevant by SNCF Réseau. On the other hand, we tackle actually occurred scenarios and we compare the decisions made by RECIFE-MILP with those made by the dispatchers who actually faced the perturbation. These experiments show through simulation that the optimization may remarkably improve the way traffic is managed.
