Train Timetable Design Under Elastic Passenger Demand

Michel Bierlaire, Matthieu Marie Cochon de Lapparent, Shadi Sharif Azadeh, Mohammad Yousef Maknoon, Tomas Robenek

We integrate a probabilistic demand model in the train timetabling problem. We use a logit model that we calibrate to reflect the known demand elasticities. We further include a competing operator as an opt-out option for the passengers. Subsequently, we i ...
