An Optimal Operation Designing in Railway Hub Using Genetic Algorithms

Publication: Traffic and Transportation Studies (2000)

Abstract

The background and origin of optimization problem for operation organizing in railway hub are analyzed, optimization objective and modeling parameters are discussed. The operation process of through traffics, classifying traffics and local traffics in the hub, and different handling ways for these traffics in building model are considered comprehensively in this paper. And a nonlinear 0–1 programming model that based on capacity resource constraints is constructed. According to the characteristics of NP-hard problem, Genetic Algorithms is used to solve the model, and a numerical example is tested on a real railway hub in China.
