Abstract
In this paper, an integrated line planning and train scheduling model based on
the circulation of trains is proposed to reduce the passenger dissatisfaction
and the operation costs for an urban rail transit line. In the integrated
model, the turnaround operations of trains and the departures and arrivals of
trains at the depot are included. Furthermore, binary variables are introduced
to indicate whether a circulation of a train (i.e., a train service) exists or
not and a discrete-event model is used to determine the order of the train
services. In addition, a bi-level optimization approach is proposed to solve
the integrated line planning and train scheduling problem, where the number of
required train services, the headways between train services, the departure
times, and the arrival times are optimized simultaneously based on the
passenger demands. The performance of the proposed integrated model and
bi-level approach is illustrated via a case study of the Beijing Yizhuang line.
