Integrated Optimization of Stop Planning and Timetabling for Demand-Responsive Transport in High-Speed Railways

The high-speed railways have made rapid developments in recent years. Fulfilling passenger demand and providing precise train services are the core problems to be solved railway operation. This paper proposes an optimization strategy for demand-responsive transport integrate train-stop planning timetabling railways. Passenger travel information, including their origins, destinations expected departure times is taken as input. A mixed integer linear programming model established obtain effective service plan, which consists of stop pattern, ride plan arrival/departure at all stations. objective minimize remaining time. Finally, proposed method applied a real-world case, series several experiments conducted prove efficiency validity model. results suggest that approach could generate efficient plans responsive demand.
