Article Preview

Abstract:

Thispaper presents aCoal Heavy Haul Transportation Assembly Scheme Problem (CHASP), in which the time consuming functions, assembly number constraints and assembly weight constraints etc are considered. The time consuming costs consist of residence time and disassembly time. The disassembly time functions are usually nonlinear functions of unit train departure directions. Then, a nonlinear 0-1 programming is formulated for the problem and solved by lingo mathematical solver. Considering the complexity of the problem, a kind ofGenetic Algorithm is proposed to solve it. Extensive computational experiments are taken on randomly generated data, the detailed results are given and the genetic algorithm is shown to be efficient.
