One of the basic problems in strategic planning of public and rail transport is the line planning problem to find a system of lines and its associated frequencies. The objectives o...
Abstract. In this paper, we give an overview of the Locomotive Simulater/Optimizer (LSO) decision support system developed by us for railroads. This software is designed to imitate...

Abstract. The search for train connections in state-of-the-art commercial timetable information systems is based on a static schedule. Unfortunately, public transportation systems ...
We present an extension of the well-known time-expanded approach for timetable information. By remodeling unimportant stations, we are able to obtain faster query times with less s...
In the last 15 years periodic timetable problems have found much interest in the combinatorial optimization community. We will focus on the optimisation task to minimise a weighted...
A new class of FPGA-based accelerators is presented for Cartesian Genetic Programming (CGP). The accelerators contain a genetic engine which is reused in all applications. Candidat...
Abstract. Virtual creatures operating in a physically realistic 3D environment, as originally introduced by Karl Sims, provide a challenging domain for artificial evolution. Howeve...
