departure
departure. We need not introduce subscripts to denote the in-lines or out-
lines used by trains since for an arriving train i
the in-line is already speci
ed by I i ,
and for a departing train i
the out-line is speci
ed by O i .
The preference coef
cient p ik may re
fl
ect:
operator
'
s preferences of platforms,
￿
the distance of the track k to the connecting trains,
￿
the length of the route used by train i arriving to or departing from platform
track k. The smoother and shorter the route is, the less the possibility of a
con
￿
fl
ict with other
trains is, hence the probability of delay propagation
decreases.
In our model, coef
cient p ik
is set according to the following formula:

:
1

or desired) track for train i
0
9
if track k is located at the same platform as the planned track

u i
difference between the planned and real arrival time of train i at a platform,

U
v i
difference between the planned and real departure time of train

platform,
i U.
The following auxiliary variables y are introduced for the couple of those trains
i and j that may travel concurrently. They enable to express safety headways
between conflicting trains.
