Abstract:
The real-time trafficmanagement allow to solve unexpected disturbances that occur along a railway line during
the normal developement of the traffic. The original timetable is restored through the rescheduling process.
Despite the increase of real-time decision support tools for trains dispatchers that enable a better use of rail infrastructure,
real-time traffic management received a limited scientific attention. In this paper, we deal with the
real time traffic management for regional railway networks, mainly single tracks, in which a centralized traffic
control system is installed. The rescheduling problem is presented as a Mixed Integer Linear Programming
Model which resolution allows to carry out the rescheduling process in a very short computational time.
