railcirc.gms : Minimum Circulation of Railway Stock

Description

This problem finds a least cost circulation of trainunits that meets
requirements of first and second class passenger demand on all timetable
trips. For a single traintype the MIP model always solves in the root,
for two and more traintypes it is a difficult MIP model.


Large Model of Type : MIP
