Capacity pricing schemes to implement open-access rail in Tanzania
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Engineering Systems Division, 2014-06)
We analyze alternative capacity pricing schemes (access charges) to implement an open-access railway system in Tanzania. We show that the implementation of variable access charges widely used in the railway industry may ...
Train Timetable Design for Shared Railway Systems using a Linear Programming Approach to Approximate Dynamic Programming
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Engineering Systems Division, 2014-05)
In the last 15 years, the use of rail infrastructure by different train operating companies (shared railway system) has been proposed as a way to improve infrastructure utilization and to increase efficiency in the railway ...
Rail Infrastructure Manager Problem: Analyzing Capacity Pricing and Allocation in Shared Railway System
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Engineering Systems Division, 2014-03)
This paper proposes a train timetabling model for shared railway systems. The model is formulated as a mixed integer linear programming problem and solved both using commercial software and a novel algorithm based on ...
Analyzing the Financial Relationship between Railway Industry Players in Shared Railway Systems: The Train Operator’s Perspective
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Engineering Systems Division, 2014-08)
Capacity pricing and allocation play an important role in efficient management of railway corridors, especially shared ones. This paper analyzes how Train Operators (TOs) would respond to different track-access charges, ...
