The article presents the problem of managing the operation of railway vehicles carrying out transport based on a given timetable. The operation planning process must also take into account a number of technical conditions, such as inspections and repairs, and in particular unplanned disruptions.

Maintenance work for a given railway vehicle is performed according to a specific inspection schedule defined in the maintenance system documentation. (…)
