While models that fix passenger routes were frequently considered in the literature, integrated models that simultaneously optimize timetables and passenger routes have seen increasing attention lately. This creates a growing need for a set of instances that allows to test and compare new algorithmic developments for the integrated problem. Our paper addresses this requirement by presenting TimPassLib, a new benchmark library of instances for integrated periodic timetabling and passenger routing.}, language = {en} } @misc{LindnerMaristanydelasCasasSchiewe, author = {Lindner, Niels and Maristany de las Casas, Pedro and Schiewe, Philine}, title = {Optimal Forks: Preprocessing Single-Source Shortest Path Instances with Interval Data}, issn = {1438-0064}, doi = {10.4230/OASIcs.ATMOS.2021.7}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:0297-zib-82716}, abstract = {We investigate preprocessing for single-source shortest path queries in digraphs, where arc costs are only known to lie in an interval. More precisely, we want to decide for each arc whether it is part of some shortest path tree for some realization of costs. We show that this problem is solvable in polynomial time by giving a combinatorial algorithm, using optimal structures that we call forks. Our algorithm turns out to be very efficient in practice, and is sometimes even superior in quality to a heuristic developed for the one-to-one shortest path problem in the context of passenger routing in public transport.}, language = {en} }
