“…This continuous model was expanded in [34] by generalizing cost and making more realistic route choices for idealized corridors. Abdelhafiez et al [35] developed a non-linear integer programming model to optimize the A/B stop-skipping operation in order to minimize the passenger travel time. This problem was formulated differently in [36] with the consideration of the constraint on the transfers which can be made only at AB stations for those passengers whose destinations are skipped and a genetic algorithm was developed to generate optimal schedule.…”

Urban subway, because of its speed and punctuality, receives considerable popularity and injects great vitality into the city's economic development. However, overcrowding frequently observed in subway carriages during peak hours potentially leads to an increase in accident risk, while there are still some spaces available in buses in some situations. Such imbalance between the two public transits, which was examined based on the load ratios reported for Beijing public transits in a map App, motives us to develop a periodic stop-skipping strategy to shift the excessive demand from subway to bus to alleviate the overloaded situations while to reduce the unwanted influence on the passengers. To achieve such bi-objectives, we propose a non-linear model with consideration of the passengers' choice under the stop-skipping operation. To avoid to exhaustively examine all stop patterns, the stop patterns required to evaluate are identified theoretically. We develop a genetic algorithm to generate the optimal plan, with the triggering mechanism devised to give the priority to the safety objective. With the calibrated choice model, four sets of numerical experiments were performed to evaluate the proposed approach. The results indicate that our approach can effectively alleviate the overcrowding while the efficiency can be increased in some circumstances as the remaining bus capacity is utilized. The optimality and the efficiency of the algorithm and the effectiveness of the triggering mechanism were also verified. The proposed approach can be applied as an effective and economical way to rebalance the peak demand when the bus capacity is surplus.

“…According to different properties of stations, passengers can be divided into 4 types: Type 1: passenger that origin and destination stations are express, can only choose express train, the amount of type 1 passengers is 1 Q ; Type 2: passenger that origin station is local, can only choose local train, the amount of type 1 passengers is 2 Q ; Type 3: passenger that origin station is express, destination is local and with no transfer, can only choose local train, the amount of type 1 passengers is 3 Q ; Type 4: passenger that origin station is express, destination is local and with transfer, can choose express trains at first, then transfers to local train at t-th station, the amount of type 1 passengers is 4 Q .…”

“…Based on the analysis of the interval characteristics of urban rail transit trains during weekdays and holidays, Jamili and Aghaee study the train operation mode of urban rail transit under uncertain conditions [2]. Abdelhafiez mainly considers the station layout form, takes the average travel time of urban rail transit as the objective function, and establishes a nonlinear integer programming model, the case results show that the cross-stop scheme saves about 10% less than the station-stop scheme of total travel time [3]. Jang combines with the method of timetable and determination of train stations, achieves the stop schedule plan, and proposes heuristic solution algorithm [4].…”

The operation organization of express/local train for urban rail transit is widely used nowadays. In order to improve service level of passengers for urban rail transit, this paper establishes an optimal express/local train stop schedule plan model, taking express/local train frequencies, the express trains' cross-station sequence and the overtaking-station place as decision variables. In the case analysis, compared with the train of stopping station by station, express/local train operation can reduce passengers' total in-vehicle time and travel time by 14.49% and 1.07% respectively.

Today, Ukraine has faced the significant problem of railway cargo theft during transit and in the parking lots. Large losses of railways in this case require intensification of the fight against these crimes. The objective of the research is to find out the ways for preventing cargo encroachment by creating a network of weigh checkpoints (WCPs) on the railroad, which is intended for automatic control of the actual weight of goods in train carriages without moving them with further comparison of the accompanying data of cargo documents using electronic communication. In the event of a discrepancy between the indications of WCP device and the accompanying information on the loads, there is a fixed shortage of cargo in the carriage. The optimization of the general demand for WCP on the railways in practice allows law enforcement officers to use the research carried out as a means to effectively prevent crimes on the railroad.
