Welcome to RTOOM 2026

The 6th Conference on Railway Transportation Organization and Operations Management

(RTOOM)


The Conference on Railway Transportation Organization and Operations Management (RTOOM) is supported by the Transportation Committee of China Railway Society and initiated by Beijing Jiaotong University. The previous five conferences were successfully held and widely recognized by participants. They brought professionals and scholars from government agencies, transport enterprises, research institutes, universities, and design institutes to present, discuss, and exchange ideas on the latest advances in railway transportation organization and operations management. These conferences have provided valuable opportunities to explore key issues, innovative technologies, and prospects in railway transportation research. The 6th RTOOM will be held in October 2026 in Beijing, China. The program will feature keynote speeches by leading railway transportation researchers and presentations of peer-reviewed papers on recent research work.
