On the Railway Line Planning Models Considering the Various Halting Patterns

초록

We propose railway line planning optimization models that determines the frequency of each train so that it can meet passenger origin- destination demands while minimizing the related costs. Most line planning models assume that all trains on a supply network stop at all intermediate stations. However to minimize passenger travelling time and provide train service to as many stations as possible, we must consider various halting patterns, that might be given in advance or be sought. Our study considers two line planning problems considering halting patterns, describes the computational complexities for each problem and present the optimization models for both. We also present experimental results obtained for Korean high speed railway network.
