Timetabling for railway services often aims at optimizing travel times for passengers. At the same time, restricting assumptions on passenger behavior and passenger modeling are made. While research has shown that passenger distribution on routes can be modeled with a discrete choice model, this...

In this paper we present a method to construct a periodic timetable from a tacticalplanning perspective. We aim at constructing a timetable that is feasible with respectto infrastructure constraints and minimizes average perceived passenger travel time. Inaddition to in-train and transfer times,...

In research and practice, public transportation planning is executed in a series of steps, which are often divided into the strategic, the tactical, and the operational planning phase. Timetables are normally designed in the tactical phase, taking into account a given line plan, safety...
