Railway systems are time-varying and complex systems with nonlinear behaviors that
require effective optimization techniques to achieve optimal performance. Evolutionary …

In many large cities, metro operations during peak hours are characterized by an
overcrowded and unevenly-distributed passenger demand. This paper introduces a new …

It is critical to design an adaptable and stable train timetable for long-term use in rail transit
network that not only meets the dynamicity of passenger demand in different hours within …

Subway lines connecting different urban functional zones in large cities have direction-
dependent and time-variant passenger demand, namely, asymmetry in passenger demand …

It is of great practical significance to save train traction energy for reducing the operation cost
of urban rail transit. The energy-efficient train scheduling without combining with train …

We consider the problem of jointly optimizing train stop plan and timetable for a set of trains
on a railway corridor, with focus on time-dependent passenger demand: these are very …

Subway system is the main mode of transportation for city dwellers and is a quite significant
backbone to a city's operations. One of the challenges of subway network operation is the …

Urban rail transit (URT) is the backbone transport mode in metropolitan areas to
accommodate large travel demands. The high energy consumption of URT becomes a …

Given the dynamic and unevenly distributed metro or urban rail passenger demand, this
paper investigates the train timetabling optimization that is responsive to demand …

Urban rail transit (URT) has been considered an effective means of addressing urban
congestion problems in metropolises. The operations of a URT system involve high energy …
