Call for Papers
4nd International Seminar on
Railway Operations Modelling and Analysis
Engineering and Optimisation Approaches
University of Rome La Sapienza
February 16 18, 2011
AIM AND SCIENTIFIC ISSUES
The 4th International Seminar on Railway Operations Modelling and Analysis will contribute to
interdisciplinary diffusion in the railway operations research area through the discussion of analytical,
combinatorial and simulation approaches and project results by engineers, mathematicians, economists
and computer scientists. The following research topics focussing on high quality railway timetabling,
efficient and reliable operations of infrastructure and trains will be tackled during the Seminar, among
others:
· capacity and robustness in saturated railway networks
· timetable stability, punctuality, temporal and spatial distributions of timetable margins
· optimal of timetables and rescheduling
· impact of punctuality, comfort and information on customers satisfaction
· validation of stochastic analytical and simulation models
· impact of energy-efficient driving and low-cost operation on railway capacity and punctuality
· impact of priorities, dispatching rules and dedicated lines on network capacity
· impact of climate change on future railway operation
· performance regimes: theoretical background and methodological aspects
· estimated time of arrival: propagation methods and customer's point of view.
KEYNOTES
Leading railway scientists and project directors from different disciplines and countries will give a
talk. More details will be given in due time.
ORGANIZATION
The 4th International Seminar on Railway Operations Modelling and Analysis will be held at
University of Rome La Sapienza from 16 18 February 2011. The organizing committee consists of:
· I.A. Hansen (Delft University of Technology)
· E. Wendler (RWTH Aachen University)
· S. Ricci (University Rome La Sapienza)
· D. Pacciarelli (University Roma Tre)
· G. Longo (University of Trieste)
· J. Rodriguez (INRETS Villeneuve d'Ascq).
ABSTRACT AND PAPER SUBMISSION
Prospective presenters of contributed papers should submit an extended abstract of maximal 1000
words by email to alessandro.baldassarra@uniroma1.it until June 30, 2010. The abstracts will be
reviewed by the members of the organizing committee and the authors of selected papers will be
notified until July 31, 2010. Draft papers of a maximum length of 20 pages will need to be submitted
by November 1, 2010 in accordance to the format described in the Authors section at the seminar
website www.iaror.org/seminars.htm. The papers will be reviewed by independent experts from at
least two countries. The accepted final papers will be distributed to all participants at the beginning of
the seminar by CD-ROM. Professionals and researchers from the railway industry are also encouraged
to present practical studies and open research issues for discussion during the Seminar. The
presentation files of the talks will be made available after the seminar on the IAROR-website.
