Two-stage optimization of urban rail transit formation and real-time station control at comprehensive transportation hub
This paper tries to discuss two strategies of dealing with this complex passenger demand from two aspects: transit train formation and real-time holding control. The genetic algorithm (GA) is designed to solve the integrated two-stage model of optimizing the number, timetable and real-time holding control of the multi-marshalling operated trains. The numerical results show that the combined two-stage model of multi-marshalling operation and holding control at stations can better deal with the demand fluctuation of urban rail transit connecting with the comprehensive transportation hub.
