Railway undertakings compete for train paths (on-rail competition) and subsequently set fares facing passenger demand (off-rail competition). Passenger choice is modelled through a nested logit structure. The resulting bi-level equilibrium model determines path bids and ticket prices. A column generation algorithm is developed and validated using data from the Spanish HSR Madrid–Barcelona corridor.</p> <!-- <figure><img src="main_slide.png"><figcaption> <h4>image title</h4> </figcaption> </figure> -->The time slot allocation problem in liberalised passenger railway markets: a multi-objective approachhttps://joseangelmartin.com/en/publication/bgl-25/Thu, 31 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000https://joseangelmartin.com/en/publication/bgl-25/
