Files description

• The files network-macro and network-micro, respectively, provide a macro- or microscopic description of the underlying network.
• Each instance consists of two files, in the form forecast-timetable-X and nominal-timetable-X. The latter contains the ideal published timetable of the trains; the former contains the current state of the network and, due to disturbances and disruptions, contains conflicts.
• The files params-* contain parameters common to multiple instances (rever to the above paper for more details).
• The file restrictions-ras.xml is unused for these instances.
