Optimal Train Size and Headway for Urban Rail Transit System

Article Preview

Abstract:

An analytical model and a solution procedure are proposed to optimize train size and headway for an urban rail transit system wherein passengers demand is assumed to be sensitive to fare and the level of service, in terms of load factor and waiting time. It is found that an optimal temporal headway and train size for different demand distribution that maximizes profit and minimize total system cost for the studied subway system can be efficiently solved.
