Reinforcement learning (RL) has recently been applied to solve railway timetabling problems. In this paper, we provide a detailed overview of the state-of-the-art research for RL in railway timetabling.

The present research on RL in railway timetabling is still in the primary stage and the scale of problems that can be solved is still limited.

摘要

Reinforcement learning (RL) has recently been applied to solve railway timetabling problems. In this paper, we provide a detailed overview of the state-of-the-art research for RL in railway timetabling. Specifically, we categorize RL into basic RL and deep reinforcement learning (DRL), and further divide the research of railway timetabling into scheduling and rescheduling for exhaustively review and discussion. The present research on RL in railway timetabling is still in the primary stage and the scale of problems that can be solved is still limited. However, the applications of RL shows great promise and excitement, with significant potential for addressing various challenges in railway planning and management in the future.
