Användning av Rapid Branching vid tidtabelläggning för järnväg (Swedish)
Abstract [en]

The topic of this thesis is the implementation of rapid branching to find an integer solution for the train timetabling problem. The techniques that rapid branching are based on are presented. The important aspect of rapid branching are discussed and then the algorithm is applied to some artificial problems. It is shown that rapid branching can be both faster and slower than a standard integer solver depending on the problem instance. For the most realistic set of the examined instances, rapid branching turned out to be faster than the standard integer solver and produce satisficingly high quality solutions.

 

Abstract [en]

Den här uppsatsen handlar om en implementering av rapid branching för att hitta en heltalslösning till optimeringsproblemet vid tidtabelläggning för järnvägar. Rapid branching är en algoritm skapad för att fungera bra på storskaliga heltals-optimeringsproblem. I uppsatsen beskrivs några sätt att skapa egen tidtabelläggnings problem och sedan jämförs rapid branching med en vanlig heltalslösare för de problemen. Genom att göra detta visas att algoritmen rapid branching kan vara både snabbare och långsammare än att använda en konventionell heltalslösare. För den mest realistiska instansen av tidtabelläaggning problemet visade det sig att rapid branching var snabbare än heltalslösaren samt att den funna lösningen var av satisfierande hög kvalitet.
