“…This problem was studied in a paper by Laporte et al [7] where stations for a rapid transit line with lower and upper bounds on the interstations spacings are located on a predefined alignment. To solve this problem for a finite candidate set, the authors made use of a graph representation and applied a longest path algorithm.…”

“…One of the stations of this line is the Valencina-Santiponce station which needed a new link to be connected with the road connecting both towns. Some of the earlier station location models (see for instance Hamacher et al [4], Laporte et al [7], Schöbel [12]) did not take into account competition with other transportation modes, whereas some others did, like Vuchic [14] and more recently Repolho et al [10]. Körner et al [5] introduced and solved a station-location problem consisting of locating two stations on an existing tree-like railway network.…”

In this paper we study the problem of locating a new station on an existing rail corridor and a new junction on an existing road network, and connecting them with a new road segment under a budget constraint. We consider three objective functions and the corresponding optimization problems, which are modeled by means of mixed integer non-linear programs. For small instances, the models can be solved directly by a standard solver. For large instances, an enumerative algorithm based on a discretization of the problem is proposed. Computational experiments show that the latter approach yields high quality solutions within short computing times.

“…The literature, at least as far back as 1971 (Toregas 1971) and in a recent study (Laporte 2002), has addressed the continuous-stop-location problem. The main difference between most of the previous work and this book is that the author permits new stations to be located anywhere along the existing tracks, as opposed to selecting from a given set of candidate stops.…”

The rail rapid transit network design problem aims at locating train alignments and stations, maximizing demand coverage while competing with the current existing networks. We present a model formulation for computing tight bounds of the linear relaxation of the problem where transfers are also introduced. The number of transfers within a trip is a decisive attribute for attracting passengers: transferring is annoying and undesirable for passengers. We conduct computational experiments on different networks and show how we are able to solve more efficiently problems that have been already solved; sensitivity analysis on several model parameters are also performed so as to demonstrate the robustness of the new formulation.
