SCHEDULING RAIL TRACK MAINTENANCE TO MINIMISE OVERALL DELAYS

This paper focuses on the development of a model to resolve the conflicts between train operations and the scheduling of maintenance activities. The model, which serves as a decision support tool, is concerned with scheduling maintenance activities to minimise disruptions to train services and reduce maintenance costs. The model presented was applied to an 89 km track corridor on the eastern coast of Australia.
