Train timetable is of critical importance for an urban rail transit line, chiefly because it is the
primary factor determining passenger perception of service quality. As it not only delivers …

Train timetabling plays a major role in railway planning processes, serving as a link between
service providers and commuters to ensure reliable service delivery. However, mathematical …

In subway systems, electrical trains can generate considerable regenerative braking energy
while braking, and such energy can be fed back to the contact line for further reuse by other …

Urban metro systems continuously face high travel demand during rush hours, which brings
excessive energy waste and high risk to passengers. In order to alleviate passenger …

Compared with the single metro timetable optimization aiming at minimizing passenger
transfer waiting time, conflicts occur between the timetable optimization of different lines and …

In the urban rail transit system, train timetabling according to the dynamic passenger
demand is important to offer high-quality service. Timetable optimization with the …

As travel demands in metro systems continue to grow rapidly, the mismatch between
passenger demand and metro capacity has become a critical challenge in metro operations …

In this study, a method is proposed to analyse the capacity improvement ability of using
virtual coupling technology to the sharing-corridor metro lines for solving the problem of …

This paper investigates the robust collaborative train timetabling optimization problem by
integrating short-turning strategy and train circulation plan while considering the uncertainty …
