Rescheduling in railway networks is a challenging problem in both practice and theory. It requires good quality solutions in reasonable computation time to resolve unexpected situations, involving different problem scales, railway network infrastructures, objectives, and constraints. This paper presents a comprehensive survey on different problem models for rescheduling in railway networks by a clear classification. Some frequently used models are described in detail through reviewing their variables and constraints. This paper also focuses on the solution approaches proposed in the literature. The main ideas of the solution approaches with the objectives are described. Based on our review results, the analysis of the problem models used in various problem types and the solution approaches used in different problem models are presented. Conclusion and suggestions for further research to rescheduling in railway networks are drawn toward the end of the paper.
