- This paper considers the problem of planning preventive maintenance of railway signals in Denmark. This case is particularly interesting, as the entire system is being upgraded to the new European Railway Traffic Management System (ERTMS) standard, which has significant implications for signal maintenance scheduling in the system. A Constraint Programming based approach is used to generate feasible monthly plans for large instances of practical interest. This exploratory work commissioned by Banedanmark, the company in charge of maintenance and traffic control of most of the Danish railway network, was an international collaboration with a researcher from Technical University of Denmark.
