Railway out-of-gauge freight (ROF) is beyond railway gauges in its dimensions, which could be risks leading to serious railway accidents. This article presents a new method-ology to search for a safest and more economic route of ROF by taking safety and cost objectives into consideration. In this method, a mathematical model is proposed based on the transport costs as optimization objectives with the constraints of flow balance and safety gap clearance in which ROF transport routing generation, loading outline and railway gauge double-checking algorithms are established, and then a ROF transport routing model combining transportation costs, loading outlines and railway gauges are developed. The proposed method can be used to determine the safest and more economic ROF route. A case study is used to demonstrate the application of the proposed method. (C) 2022 Elsevier B.V.
