N2 - Eciently coordinating the movement of trains on a railway network is a central part of the
planning process for a railway company. This paper reviews models and methods that have
been proposed in the literature to assist planners in nding train routes. Since the problem of
routing trains on a railway network entails allocating the track capacity of the network (or part
thereof) over time in a con
ict-free manner, all studies that model railway track allocation in
some capacity are considered relevant. We hence survey work on the train timetabling, train
dispatching, train platforming, and train routing problems, group them by railway network
type, and discuss track allocation from a strategic, tactical, and operational level.
