Abstract

In metro systems, a tactical train schedule with the rolling stock circulation plan aims to determine the movements of all physical trains. To utilize the regenerative energy as much as possible, this paper proposes an integrated model to simultaneously generate the optimal train schedule and rolling stock circulation plan, in which the brake-traction overlapping time at stations is maximized. In particular, our model rigorously considers the train turn-around constraints, train circulation constraints, and dynamic passenger demands to tackle the train loading capacity constraints. To eliminate the effect of non-linear constraints, we reformulate the original model into its equivalent linear model that can be efficiently solved by linear programming solvers. Finally, the numerical experiments based on Beijing Yizhuang Metro Line are implemented to demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed model.
