High-Speed Train Stop-Schedule Optimization Based on Passenger Travel Convenience

Expected Passenger Travel Time as Objective Function for Train Schedule Optimization

Most literature in train schedule optimization concentrates on the constraints of the problem. A few examples are [4, 5, 6, 7, 8]. Very little is found on the optimisation criterium: the objective function [2, 3]. We believe one of the main reasons is that in generating schedules that are robust against delays, this is the harder part of the mathematical modelling. Indeed, unlike the hard const...

The Study of High-Speed Passenger Train Operation Plan

The paper sums up the factors with passenger’s travel demand, passenger’s need of comfort and the wasted train capacity. On the basis of these factors, this paper provides a new idea to solve high-speed passengers train operation plan problem. First, all the possible train operation plans are listed, and then with the aid of intelligent algorithm those train operation plans which can not be sen...

Train Schedule Optimization in Public

Attractive train schedules are quite important for the success of public rail transport. We consider schedules which are repeated after some xed time period. Periodicity is a well accepted, convenient attribute of all major railroad systems. Since trains share the public railroad network, we have to handle many connicting demands. Increasing competition from transportation alternatives as well ...

Optimal Path Choice in Railway Passenger Travel Network Based on Residual Train Capacity

Passenger's optimal path choice is one of the prominent research topics in the field of railway passenger transport organization. More and more different train types are available, increasing path choices from departure to destination for travelers are unstoppable. However, travelers cannot avoid being confused when they hope to choose a perfect travel plan based on various travel time and cost...
