However, it is highly vulnerable in the event of breakdowns: a faulty convoy cannot be easily overtaken and sometimes cannot be easily removed from the line, especially in the case of isolated systems (i.e. Indeed, rail transport is environmentally friendly (low pollutant emissions), high-performing (high travel speeds and low headways) and competitive (low unit costs per seat-km or passenger-km), while presenting a high degree of adaptability to intermodality. Rail transport benefits from several specific features which make it a key element in public transport management, above all in high-density contexts. Finally, in an attempt to provide a comprehensive framework an overview of the main metaheuristic resolution techniques used in the planning and management phases is shown. The main issues concerning the interaction of rail services with travel demand flows and the energy domain are also described.
By contrast, within rail optimisation models, both planning (timetabling) and management (rescheduling) phases are discussed. Rail simulation models are classified according to the level of detail implemented (microscopic, mesoscopic and macroscopic), the variables involved (deterministic and stochastic) and the processing techniques adopted (synchronous and asynchronous). For this purpose, an extensive overview of the rail simulation and optimisation models proposed in the literature is first provided. Given our underlying belief that to build a robust simulation environment a rail service cannot be considered an isolated system, also the connected systems, which influence and, in turn, are influenced by such services, must be properly modelled. See how wolves play a part in not only population control of their prey but other animals and even plants far down the trophic levels.The paper aims to provide an overview of the key factors to consider when performing reliable modelling of rail services. What animals were affected by their presence or absence. This model, built in iThink, uses storytelling to understand the dynamics of this keystone species. During this time, the ecosystem changed and diminished until scientists realized the value of the wolves and reintroduced them to Yellowstone. For nearly 70 years, wolves were absent from Yellowstone. However, soon after the area was settled, misperceptions caused by fear and hatred fueled a large extermination effort of the wolves. Wolves once flourished in Yellowstone and its surrounding areas. But what would happen if that species were removed? What ripple effects would be caused by the absence of this species? We can examine these questions by looking at the wolf population in Yellowstone National Park. Keystone species are defined as a plant or animal that plays a unique role in the way the ecosystem functions.
