Description:
This paper considers a real-life railway timetable related problem, where a set of interconnected railway junction points form a railway network, which is essentially a directed graph with corresponding vertex and edge capacities representing railway tracks and railway platforms.The dynamic behavior of this model is driven by a timetable. Unforeseen weather and other external effects may contribute to delays in the timetable, which alters the behavior of the whole system. In this scenario a hierarchical fuzzy system is proposed that can suggest a possible outgoing delay for each train by evaluating a set of fuzzy rule bases using two input data. The first proposal does not take into account the possible propagation of delay in the whole railway network. In this article a negative feedback is applied on the hierarchical fuzzy system.The fuzzy sets are optimized by an evolution based global search metaheuristics.
