Abstract :
In this paper, we propose an off-line procedure for determining the optimal operational strategy in the case of rail and/or metro system failure. The procedure is based on a micro-simulation approach for estimating effects of each feasible intervention strategy on travel demand. Numerical results in the case of a real-size metro network show that optimal solutions could differ according to travel demand levels and/or breakdown severities.
