This paper presents a mathematical model of the long-term track tamping scheduling problem in the Korean highspeed railway system. The presented model encompasses various operational field constraints, moreover improves a state-of-the-art model in extending the feasible space. We show the model is sized up to intractable scale, then propose another approximation model that is possible to handle with the present computer system and commercial optimization package, directly. The aggregated index, lot, is selected, considering the resolution of the planning horizon as well as scheduling purpose. Lastly, this paper presents two test results for the approximation model. The results expose the approximation model to quite promising in deploying it into an operational software program for the long-term track tamping scheduling problem.

This paper addresses the mathematical model of the long-term track tamping scheduling problem in the railway system. The proposed model is analyzed in problem size, then three solution approaches (relaxation, decomposition, and heuristic) are presented at the sketch level.
