  2. Disposition-Friendly Parking Planning for Urban Train Operating Companies

    Christian Liebchen, Bennett Bussek
    The chapter explores the challenge of efficiently parking trains during off-peak hours in urban railway systems. It highlights the need to balance the costs of empty kilometers with the operational benefits of keeping sidings available for disruptions.
