Abstract
The artificial cooperative control methods are used to fully utilize the train capacity and reduce the passenger delays by coordinating the number of entering and boarding passengers at each station, but it ignores the potential risk associated with the aggregation attributes of passengers in the station under emergency and the unfairness caused by the imbalance of travel opportunities for different origin–destination (OD) passengers. A new parallel and cooperative control model under comprehensive emergency situation is constructed from the perspective of guaranteeing travel safety, improving travel fairness, and increasing travel efficiency to generate passenger flow control strategies. The model aims to maximize passenger turnovers, minimize passenger delays and reduce the difference in the ratio of stranded passengers at stations. The complex multi-objective integer programming problem involving nonlinear equation constraints is difficult to solve numerically. A dynamic programming model taking train sequence as stage variable is then constructed as well as an NSGA-II algorithm with multiple improved strategies (MIS-NSGA-II) is proposed to solve the model. Numerical experiments on a line of Beijing Rail Transit show that the MIS-NSGA-II outperforms the traditional NSGA-II, and that increasing the overload coefficient of the train and the tolerance coefficient of each area in the station can further alleviate passenger congestion and promote the operation efficiency. Compared with other control strategies mentioned in this study, the proposed control model from a comprehensively perspective, which can ensure the travel safety and promote the travel efficiency while forcefully decongesting the bottleneck areas and improving the fairness of passenger travel.
