In order to improve the robustness of a railway system in station areas, this paper introduces an iterative approach to … timetable in a tabu search environment. We present our vision on robustness and describe how this vision can be used in practice … the robustness of a railway system. Using a discrete event simulation model, the performance of our algorithms is …

factors. The paper uses a set of original robustness measures and rules associated with revised MACBETH and UTA in order to …

Robustness in Operations Research/Decision Aid is often associated with min–max and min–max regret criteria. This …. Nevertheless, these criteria are known to be too conservative. In this paper, we present and study a new robustness approach …, called lexicographic α-robustness, which compensates for this major drawback and many others. Furthermore, we establish a …
