TY - CHAP A1 - Reuther, Markus A1 - Schlechte, Thomas T1 - Optimization of Rolling Stock Rotations T2 - Handbook of Optimization in the Railway Industry N2 - This chapter shows a successful approach how to model and optimize rolling stock rotations that are required for the operation of a passenger timetable. The underlying mathematical optimization problem is described in detail and solved by RotOR, i.e., a complex optimization algorithm based on linear programming and combinatorial methods. RotOR is used by DB Fernverkehr AG (DBF) in order to optimize intercity express (ICE) rotations for the European high-speed network. We focus on main modeling and solving components, i.e. a hypergraph model and a coarse-to-fine column generation approach. Finally, the chapter concludes with a complex industrial re-optimization application showing the effectiveness of the approach for real world challenges.
