AIMS OF IAROR
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
IAROR was founded in 2005 and has currently more than 250 members. IAROR
combines the expertise of academic and professional railway research with
the aim of enhancing the quality of service for railway passengers and
customers, improving the effectiveness and efficiency of capacity
management, timetabling, traffic management and ensuring the safety of
railway operations. IAROR stimulates innovative theoretical approaches,
high-tech concepts, new technological developments and dynamic decision
support systems that contribute to a higher flexibility, performance and
punctuality of trains operating on single or dedicated lines and in
heterogeneous networks.
IAROR contributes to the development of new international standards for
railway capacity and traffic management by integration of
the state-of-the-art from different scientific disciplines as engineering,
mathematics, physics, economics and computer science. IAROR aims at
becoming the Network of Excellence in the field of railway operations
research and an acknowledged advisor to governments,
railway infrastructure managers, train operating companies and the
industrial suppliers with regard to the development and evaluation of
research programs, innovation strategies, directives and norms for railway
operations.

AIM AND SCIENTIFIC ISSUES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
RailLille2017 is the 7th International Conference on Railway Operations
Modeling and Analysis. It will promote interdisciplinary discussions in
the railway operations research area by combining the expertise of
academics and professionals. RailLille2017 will give researchers and
practitioners the opportunity to meet, to present their latest research,
and to discuss current developments and applications. RailLille2017 solicits
contributions dealing with any aspect of railway planning and operation.
Typical, but not exclusive, topics of interest are:
- Land use, mobility and line planning
- Capacity and robustness in saturated networks
- Optimal network timetabling and maintenance schedules
- Passenger flows in stations, on platform, and dwell time distribution
- Impact of signaling and safety systems on capacity and punctuality
- Validation of stochastic analytical and simulation models
- Timetable stability, punctuality, temporal and spatial distributions of
timetable margins
- Impact of train priorities, dispatching rules and dedicated lines on
network capacity
- Scheduling and routing of passenger and freight trains
- Real-time rescheduling, disturbance and disruption management
- Energy-efficient driving and driver advisory systems
- Prediction of route conflicts, arrival and departure times
- Impact of climate change on future railway operation
- Governance, benchmark analysis and performance evaluation
