Title: Algorithmic Support for Disruption Management at Netherlands Railways
Abstract: In the Netherlands, relatively large disruptions occur on average about three times per day, each time leading to a temporary and local  unavailability of the railway system. Faster response times and better solutions can be expected by the application of algorithmic support  in the disruption management process. That is, the modified timetable, rolling stock circulation, and crew duties are generated automatically  based on appropriate mathematical models and algorithms for solving these models. In this paper, we present such models and algorithms that were  developed at Erasmus University Rotterdam and are being implemented at Netherlands Railways. Finally, we discuss challenges for research and  implementation in practice.
