RailSanya 2027 is the 12th International Conference on Railway Operations Modelling and Analysis (ICROMA). Building on the longstanding ICROMA tradition, it convenes researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to address the growing complexity of transport systems and advance the theory and practice of rail transport within the broader landscape of modern mobility and logistics, contributing to the development of more efficient, resilient, and sustainable rail transport systems.

The conference places a strong emphasis on advancing methodological innovation and addressing real-world challenges in rail transport systems. While rooted in railway operations modelling and analysis, it embraces a wider perspective that extends to multimodal transport, integrated mobility services, and the evolving role of rail within sustainable and intelligent transportation systems.

Hosted in Sanya, a vibrant coastal city known for its unique blend of natural beauty, RailSanya 2027 offers not only a high-level academic environment but also an inspiring setting for networking and collaboration. In particular, the conference will host, for the first time, a problem-solving competition, offering participants the opportunity to tackle real-world challenges in rail transport through advanced modelling and analytical approaches.
