Abstract

Purpose: In order to better serve the transport demand of urban area by rail, target at the Ur-ban Rail Train Stop Schedule problem. Design/methodology/approach: Bi-level mathematical programming model and game relation was used. Findings: A 0-1 bi-level mathematical programming model for urban rail transit hybrid Stop Schedule is developed when game relation between train Stop Schedule and passenger transfer choice is considered. Research limitations/implications: The research is still in progress. Practical implications: ChongQing urban rail line 2 was taken as an example, the practical application of the model has proved its feasibility and efficiency. Originality/value: A 0-1 bi-level mathematical programming model for urban rail transit hybrid Stop Schedule is developed. The upper level model is Stop Schedule targeting at the optimal profit from the operators side. The lower level model is passenger routing aims to minimize total travel time. According to its features, the bi-level model is integrated in order to be directly solvable by optimizing software.

Highlights

Public travel demand is greatly increased with the rapid development of urbanization within china
Urban rail train operation problem has commonly been separated into several parts such as lining problem, frequency, service network and timetabling, in which train Stop Schedule for each train line is one of the basic components
In this paper, the hybrid train Stop Schedule of urban rail transit based on passenger route choice was studied and optimized from multiple viewpoint, which will effectively reduce the operation cost in the mean while improve the urban rail transit system in service level

Summary

Introduction

Public travel demand is greatly increased with the rapid development of urbanization within china. ZHENG Li established 0-1 integer programming model for skip-stop operation based on minimizing the general travel time of all passengers, tabu search is used to solve the problem (Zheng, Song, He & Li, 2009) It refers to practice, all the urban rail inland china are still using the standard Stop Schedule. Urban rails are always operated individually by line and there are only one or two train routes for a single rail line, it mainly provides conditions to separate Stop Schedule from the whole operation pattern Both from the passengers and operation aspects, Combined various types of Stop Schedule is better fitter the passenger flow with less equipment and save more time. This paper aims at fixed out the optimal combined Stop Schedule for urban rail train based on the passengers' route choice
