Nederlandse Spoorwegen
Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS) are the main train operator in the Netherlands, transporting over 1 million passengers per day, with over 700 train sets, over more than 3000 km track along almost 400 train stations. That’s a lot. Moreover the network is very intertwined, making the logistic planning a complex, mathematical challenge.
I work with my team on a mathematical model that solves the planning of trains at night on the yards (called shunting): trains that arrive in a specific order and combination, have to be serviced and cleaned on specific tracks and have to be able to leave the next morning, in time, in the right order and in the right combination. With a lot of trains, and very limited space on the yards, this quickly becomes a major shuffle puzzle.
The shunting problem is closely related to the timetable planning during the day. Both have a lot of challenging questions, that require mathematical models.
If you would like to know more about mathematics at NS, you are most welcome to pass by.
