Allocation of Railroad Capacity Under Competition: A Game Theoretic Approach to Track time Pricing

摘要: The reorganization of the European railway sector following application Directive 440 requires devising an infrastructure access mechanism for competing transport operators. This paper proposes a market-based approach to railroad track allocation and capacity pricing, formulating three-stage game-theoretic model where operators request their preferred schedules manager set final prices services on basis actual tariffs. latter are simultaneously computed by non discriminatory which maximizes value timetable each operator. Access tariffs based congestion degree train imposes system.
