Numerical simulation of train traffic in large networks via time - optimal control
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss the mathematical modelling of schedule based rail traffic. The model is used to develop efficient numerical simulation methods for the time optimal control of a large number of interacting trains in a large network. The time optimal control is used to model the realistic behaviour of driving in a network like that of Deutsche Bahn. It is used to allow a real time simulation with incomplete information on real train velocities. We present numerical examples that demonstrate the efficiency of the model and the simulation method.

A discrete-event optimization framework for mixed-speed train timetabling problem
Railway scheduling is a complex task of rail operators that involves the generation of a conflict-free train timetable. This paper presents a discrete-event simulation-based optimization approach for solving the train timetabling problem to minimize total weighted unplanned stop time in a hybrid single and double track railway networks. The designed simulation model is used as a platform for ge...
متن کاملOptimal Signal Control in Urban Road Networks with High Priority Congested Centers
Keeping the density of traffic flow and air pollution in an acceptable level and developing a good capacity for transit in the high priority areas of the city, is really a big deal in large and crowded cities. To address this problem, a new method of intersection signal optimization is presented in this paper. Based on network fundamental diagrams, an Internal–External Traffic Metering Strategy...
متن کاملTime-Optimal Train Traffic in Large Networks: Theory for Faster
From a system-theoretic standpoint, a constrained state-space model for train traffic in a large railway network is developed. The novelty of the work is the transformation or rather reduction of the directed graph of the network to some parallel lists. Mathematization of this sophisticated problem is thus circumvented. All the aspects of a real network (such as that of the German Rail) are com...
متن کاملFUZZY TRAIN ENERGY CONSUMPTION MINIMIZATION MODEL AND ALGORITHM
Train energy saving problem investigates how to control train's velocity such that the quantity of energy consumption is minimized and some system constraints are satis ed. On the assumption that the train's weights on different links are estimated by fuzzy variables when making the train scheduling strategy, we study the fuzzy train energy saving problem. First, we propose a fuzzy energy ...
متن کاملOptimal Harmonization of Out-Network Traffic Control Regulations in Social Networks
Regulations of use of social networks, as one of the key components in these networks, serve an important role in controlling the flow of traffic. The study of the harmonization of these terms and regulations can be a significant step to avoid congestion and (Users’) rejection in the network. Harmonization of traffic control regulations (TCR) among social networks is one of the best solutions t...
