The railway capacity is studied in line planning, however, these planned frequencies were obtained without accounting for rolling stock flows through the rapid transit network. In order to provide the problem more freedom to decide rolling stock flows and therefore better adjusting these flows to passenger demand, a new integrated model is proposed, where frequencies are readjusted. Then, the railway timetable and rolling stock assignment are also calculated, where shunting operations are taken into account. These operations may sometimes malfunction, causing localized incidents that could propagate throughout the entire network due to cascading effects. This type of operations will be penalized with the goal of selectively avoiding them and ameliorating their high malfunction probabilities. Swapping operations will also be ensured using homogeneous rolling stock material and ensuring parkings in strategic stations. We illustrate our model using computational experiments drawn from RENFE (the main Spanish operator of suburban passenger trains) in Madrid, Spain. The results show that through this integrated approach a greater robustness degree can be obtained date_type: published date: 2012-10 publication: Annals of Operations Research volume: 199 number: 1 pagerange: 113-135 id_number: 10.1007/s10479-011-0978-0 institution: Aeronauticos department: Matematica_Aplicada9 refereed: TRUE issn: 0254-5330 official_url: http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs10479-011-0978-0# citation: Cadarso Morga, Luis and Marín Gracia, Angel (2012).
