An Energy Saving Train Operation Control Model Based on Time-Space Network Formulation

Article Preview

Abstract:

From operation management strategy perspective, a multi-objective time-space network optimization model of train energy consumption on a high speed rail line is proposed on the basis of train time table predetermined. The models objectives are to minimize circulation of rail stock and total energy consumption, and decision variables are number of train units in stations, while constraints include node flow conservation, passenger demand and capacity limitation. Finally, a simulation case is provided and solved for comparison and an optimization analysis is carried on via weighting method to illustrate the models feasibility and effectiveness.
