BP Neural Network Based Optimization for China Railway Freight Transport Network

Abstract

In order to optimize the railway freight transport network, integrate the limited transport resources and overcome the current problems existing in the traditional transport organization, in this study, we propose a three-layer railway freight transport network system, analyze its hierarchical structure and describe the respective function orientation of the railway freight stations in different layers. Then we design a BP neural network model with adaptive learning algorithm and momentum BP algorithm to classify the railway freight stations into three layers. Finally, an empirical case study is presented to test the feasibility of the BP neural network. The simulation result indicates that the BP neural network model can classify the railway freight stations into three layers under relatively high training accuracy.
