Abstract: This paper addresses the problem of improving the integration between passenger timetabling and track maintenance scheduling. We propose a microscopic optimization model and an iterative algorithm for solving this problem efficiently. Block sections are considered as the basic microscopic elements for train movements in a railway network. A mixed-integer linear programming formulation is proposed for the integrated optimization problem in which train timing, sequencing and routing are the timetabling variables, while timing and sequencing of maintenance tasks are the track maintenance variable
