Abstract:In the context of the increasing unbalanced passenger flow in both time and space, the conventional fixed formation mode is no longer able to cater to the dynamic demands of passengers. Thus, this paper presents a mixed-integer nonlinear programming model that aims to optimize train scheduling, rolling stock utilization planning, and passenger flow control strategy by incorporating virtual formation mode, in which the virtual formation enables trains to modify their composition through coupling/uncoupling oper… Show more
