Abstract

Train timetabling and rolling stock circulation planning are problems of crucial importance for integrated planning. Often, these problems are separately solved in a sequential way without consideration of periodic train schedule. However, a notable drawback of this layered planning process is poor coordination and efficiency between train and rolling stock timetables, as well as lack of regularity. To this end, we explore the joint optimization problem of periodic and aperiodic train timetabling and rolling stock circulation planning in this paper. To address this comprehensive problem, an integer programming model is initially established by incorporating rolling stock circulation into optimizing periodic and aperiodic train timetabling. Due to the model-solving complexity, a three-dimensional space–time-state network is constructed to reformulate this model. Within this three-dimensional network, states are used to represent trains served by rolling stocks. Subsequently, the problem is transformed into a minimum-cost multi-commodity network flow problem with incompatible arcs based on the space–time-state network. And an efficient Lagrangian relaxation decomposition algorithm is proposed to solve this network flow problem. The effectiveness of the algorithm is verified through a series of case studies.

期刊介绍: Operations research and computers meet in a large number of scientific fields, many of which are of vital current concern to our troubled society. These include, among others, ecology, transportation, safety, reliability, urban planning, economics, inventory control, investment strategy and logistics (including reverse logistics). Computers & Operations Research provides an international forum for the application of computers and operations research techniques to problems in these and related fields.
