Abstract

Even-headway and even-load timetables have been in practice for the past 50 years. The former stipulates constant departures to cultivate users’ habits accordingly, whereas the latter is oriented from demand regulations aiming to further reduce waiting times. However, striking the balance between operation reliability (derived from even-headway timetabling) and an on-demand response to passenger fluctuation (referring to even-load timetabling) requires addressing major challenges presented by peak or alternatively off-peak demands. Our work addresses this imbalance by comparable estimation. The focused problem involves timetabling, vehicle scheduling, fleet size, and operation reliability based on an identical modeling framework simultaneously involving the three models. Nonetheless, their compatibility warrants a unified measure estimation. Hence, a mixed integer linear programming model is built. Finally, multiple timetabling performance comparisons are observed by the Auckland public transport system yielding sensitivity analysis.

在实践中结合车辆调度对多个公共交通时刻表进行运营估算

均速和均速列车时刻表在过去的50年里一直在实行。前者规定了不断的离开，以培养用户的习惯，而后者则以需求为导向，旨在进一步减少等待时间。然而，要在运营可靠性（源于分时调度）和按需响应乘客波动（指分时调度）之间取得平衡，就需要解决高峰或非高峰需求带来的主要挑战。我们的工作通过可比估计解决了这种不平衡。重点研究了基于同一建模框架同时涉及三种模型的车辆调度、车辆调度、车队规模和运行可靠性问题。尽管如此，它们的兼容性需要一个统一的度量估计。因此，建立了一个混合整数线性规划模型。最后，通过奥克兰公共交通系统对多个时间表性能进行比较，得出敏感性分析。
