Approaches for the railroad blocking problem in the French freight transportation system

The freight department of the French national railroad company SNCF has to deal with some specificities in its strategic national traffic planning step: the insertion in railway timetables to use the French infrastructure is time-dependent, and focus is put on the costs involved by the rolling stock. Hence, a temporal and geographical aggregated blocking process of the different freight flows is highly expected in the deterministic case. A MIP formalisation is first given and solved for this issue
