3 Introduction 1. Introduction 2. Models Extra Unit Type Model Shadow Account Model Job-Composition Model 3. Results 4. Conclusions and further research J.C. Wagenaar & L.G. Kroon Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University November 6, / 39

4 Introduction SCHEDULING THE ROLLING STOCK Rolling stock circulation is made before the operations take place. Limited number of rolling stock units require maintenance. Regular maintenance check Broken door Broken coupling mechanism Maintenance appointment at one of the stations. J.C. Wagenaar & L.G. Kroon Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University November 6, / 39

5 Introduction DISRUPTION MANAGEMENT Problem during operations: Unexpected events make the planned resource schedules infeasible. Disruption Disruption management consists of: Handling disruptions if they occur And not preventing disruptions to occur J.C. Wagenaar & L.G. Kroon Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University November 6, / 39

6 Introduction ROLLING STOCK RESCHEDULING Given: The planned timetable The planned rolling stock circulation The rescheduled timetable Output: A rescheduled rolling stock circulation that serves the adapted timetable Literature: Fioole et al (2006), Nielsen et al (2012) J.C. Wagenaar & L.G. Kroon (jwagenaar@rsm.nl) Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University November 6, / 39

7 Introduction MAINTENANCE Disruption causes infeasibilities in the current rolling stock schedule. Current rescheduling models do not take maintenance appointments into account. As a result, maintenance appointments are missed. J.C. Wagenaar & L.G. Kroon (jwagenaar@rsm.nl) Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University November 6, / 39

8 Introduction EXAMPLE Two units require maintenance. Alkmaar, 16:00 at Nijmegen lasting 2 hours. Den Helder, 22:00 at Nijmegen lasting 2 hours. J.C. Wagenaar & L.G. Kroon (jwagenaar@rsm.nl) Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University November 6, / 39

9 Introduction EXAMPLE: SCHEDULED CIRCULATION WITH DISRUPTION J.C. Wagenaar & L.G. Kroon Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University November 6, / 39

10 Introduction EXAMPLE: AFTER RESCHEDULING J.C. Wagenaar & L.G. Kroon Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University November 6, / 39

11 1. Introduction 2. Models Extra Unit Type Model Shadow Account Model Job-Composition Model 3. Results 4. Conclusions and further research J.C. Wagenaar & L.G. Kroon Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University November 6, / 39

12 MODELS Three novel models developed: 1. Extra Unit Type model. 2. Shadow Account model. 3. Job-Composition model. Based on Composition Model, created by Fioole et al. (2006). J.C. Wagenaar & L.G. Kroon Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University November 6, / 39

13 Extra Unit Type Model 1. Introduction 2. Models Extra Unit Type Model Shadow Account Model Job-Composition Model 3. Results 4. Conclusions and further research J.C. Wagenaar & L.G. Kroon Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University November 6, / 39

14 Extra Unit Type Model EXTRA UNIT TYPE MODEL New rolling stock type for every unit with a maintenance appointment. Example: 10 units of type a and 10 units of type b. 1 unit of type a has a maintenance appointment at 16:00 at Nijmegen. 1 unit of type a has a maintenance appointment at 22:00 at Nijmegen. 8 type a, 10 type b, 1 type c and 1 type d J.C. Wagenaar & L.G. Kroon (jwagenaar@rsm.nl) Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University November 6, / 39

15 Extra Unit Type Model COMPOSITIONS Coupled units form a composition (e.g. aab, bba). Compositions can be changed at stations J.C. Wagenaar & L.G. Kroon (jwagenaar@rsm.nl) Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University November 6, / 39

16 Extra Unit Type Model IMPORTANT CONSTRAINTS Appoint exactly one composition to every trip Composition changes match with appointed compositions Inventory always non-negative Units have to be present at the right location and time of their appointment. J.C. Wagenaar & L.G. Kroon Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University November 6, / 39

17 Extra Unit Type Model OBJECTIVE Minimize: Number of additional cancelled trains. Total capacity shortage. Carriage kilometers. Deviations from original shunting plan. Deviations from end of day balance. Minimize number of missed maintenance appointments J.C. Wagenaar & L.G. Kroon Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University November 6, / 39

18 Extra Unit Type Model SUMMARY Advantage: very easy and intuitive approach. Disadvantage: the additional number of compositions is large and therefore the number of additional composition changes is even larger. J.C. Wagenaar & L.G. Kroon Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University November 6, / 39

19 Shadow Account Model 1. Introduction 2. Models Extra Unit Type Model Shadow Account Model Job-Composition Model 3. Results 4. Conclusions and further research J.C. Wagenaar & L.G. Kroon Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University November 6, / 39

20 Shadow Account Model SHADOW ACCOUNT MODEL Split the model in three parts Composition model part Shadow account part Linking part The same constraints and variables are used in composition model part as in the Extra Unit Type model. J.C. Wagenaar & L.G. Kroon Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University November 6, / 39

21 Shadow Account Model SHADOW ACCOUNT PART Introduce additional RS types 0, 1,..., x, called shadow types. Shadow type 0 represents units without maintenance appointment. Shadow types 1,..., x represent units with an appointment. J.C. Wagenaar & L.G. Kroon (jwagenaar@rsm.nl) Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University November 6, / 39

22 Shadow Account Model SHADOW ACCOUNT PART Example: 10 units of type a and 10 units of type b. 1 unit of type a has a maintenance appointment at 16:00 at Nijmegen. 1 unit of type a has a maintenance appointment at 22:00 at Nijmegen. 10 type a, 10 type b in normal part. 18 type 0, 1 type 1 and 1 type 2 in shadow part All the constraints of the composition part are used for the shadow types as well. J.C. Wagenaar & L.G. Kroon (jwagenaar@rsm.nl) Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University November 6, / 39

23 Shadow Account Model EXAMPLE J.C. Wagenaar & L.G. Kroon Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University November 6, / 39

24 Shadow Account Model EXAMPLE J.C. Wagenaar & L.G. Kroon Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University November 6, / 39

25 Shadow Account Model LINKING PART Two rolling stock schedules, one for the original types and one for the shadow types. Both schedules have to be linked to each other. J.C. Wagenaar & L.G. Kroon Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University November 6, / 39

26 Shadow Account Model LINKING PART Two rolling stock schedules, one for the original types and one for the shadow types. Both schedules have to be linked to each other. Normal schedule: Trip 1: aab, trip 2: aaba. Shadow schedule: If all units do not have a maintenance appointment, then trip 1: 000, trip 2: Shadow schedule: If unit b has a maintenance appointment, then trip 1: 001, trip 2: J.C. Wagenaar & L.G. Kroon (jwagenaar@rsm.nl) Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University November 6, / 39

27 Shadow Account Model SUMMARY Advantage: Less additional compositions, so less possible composition changes. Disadvantage: More constraints. J.C. Wagenaar & L.G. Kroon Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University November 6, / 39

28 Job-Composition Model 1. Introduction 2. Models Extra Unit Type Model Shadow Account Model Job-Composition Model 3. Results 4. Conclusions and further research J.C. Wagenaar & L.G. Kroon Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University November 6, / 39

29 Job-Composition Model JOB-COMPOSITION MODEL A job is a sequence of successive trips between coupling and uncoupling. List of all possible jobs is created. Appoint units to jobs instead of trips, such that every trip has a composition. J.C. Wagenaar & L.G. Kroon (jwagenaar@rsm.nl) Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University November 6, / 39

30 Job-Composition Model JOB-COMPOSITION MODEL Y j,m denotes whether job j is performed by a rolling stock unit m or not Q j,m denotes whether job j is performed by a rolling stock unit with a specific maintenance appointment m 10 units of type a and 10 units of type b. 1 unit of type a has a maintenance appointment at 16:00 at Nijmegen. 1 unit of type a has a maintenance appointment at 22:00 at Nijmegen. 10 type a, 10 type b in normal part 1 unit of type m 1 and 1 unit of type m 2 in M J.C. Wagenaar & L.G. Kroon (jwagenaar@rsm.nl) Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University November 6, / 39

31 Job-Composition Model SUMMARY Advantage: no additional compositions, so no additional composition changes Disadvantage: list of jobs can become large J.C. Wagenaar & L.G. Kroon Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University November 6, / 39
