This document presents the problem to be solved in the 2014 edition of the ROADEF / EURO Challenge, proposed by SNCF. The aim of this challenge is to find the best way to handle trains between their arrivals and departures in terminal stations. Today, this problem is shared between several departments at SNCF, so it is rather a collection of sub-problems which are solved in a sequential way. Consequently, the way we formulate it here, in an integrated way, is a prospective approach.

Mots clés: Optimization; Railways; Challenge
