Optimization of train plan for urban rail transit in the multi-routing mode
نویسندگان
چکیده
The train plan of urban rail transit under multi-routing mode can be divided into three parts: train formation, train operation periods and corresponding train counts of each routing in each period. Based on the analysis of passenger’s general travel expenses and operator’s benefits, the constraints and objective functions are defined and the multiobjective optimization model for the train plan of urban rail transit is presented. Factors considered in the multiobjective optimization model include transport capacity, the requirements of traffic organization, corporation benefits, passenger demands, and passenger choice behavior under multi-train-routing mode. According to the characteristics of this model and practical planning experience, a three-phase solution was designed to gradually optimize the train formation, train counts as well as operation periods. The instance of Changsha Metro Line 2 validates the feasibility and efficiency of this approach.

متن کاملOrigin-destination dependent train scheduling problem with stop-skipping for urban rail transit systems
The train scheduling problem with the origin-destination (O-D) dependent passenger demands is considered for urban rail transit systems. In this paper, trains are allowed to skip any intermediate stations (except the origin station and the final station) to reduce the passenger travel time and to save energy consumption. A model of train movements with stop-skipping and the O-D dependent passen...

Abstract: With its large capacity, the total urban rail transit energy consumption is very high; thus, energy saving operations are quite meaningful. The effective use of regenerative braking energy is the mainstream method for improving the efficiency of energy saving. This paper examines the optimization of train dwell time and builds a multiple train operation model for energy conservation o...
متن کاملThe Optimization Model and Algorithm for Train Connection at Transfer Stations in Urban Rail Transit Network
In urban rail transit network, the passenger transfer time depends on the train connection states in transfer stations, so the optimization of the connection relations of arrival and departure time among trains is significant to improve the level of transfer service. Here, with the psychology of waiting passengers taken into consideration, the cost function of transfer waiting times has been es...
