Previous approaches used to solve the transit route network design problem (TRNDP) can
be classified into three categories:(1) Practical guidelines and ad hoc procedures;(2) …

The objective of this paper is to review the development of a number of approaches to
computer simulation models of railway systems. Attention is, in particular, given to models of …

We study the integration of train scheduling and rolling stock circulation planning under time-
varying passenger demand for an urban rail transit line, where the practical train operation …

This paper considers the train scheduling problem for an urban rail transit network. We
propose an event-driven model that involves three types of events, ie, departure events …

For high-frequency metro lines, the excessive travel demand during the peak hours brings a
high risk to metro system and a low comfort to passengers, so it is important to consider …

To improve the headway regularity and commercial speed of high-frequency metro lines
with overloaded passenger flow, this paper systematically investigates a joint optimal …

This paper deals with the train scheduling problem for metro networks taking into account
time-dependent passenger origin–destination demands and train speed profiles. The aim is …

We investigate the energy-efficient train timetabling and rolling stock circulation planning
problem for metro lines based on flexible selections of train operation levels, which involve …

Track disruptions in metro systems may lead to severe train delays with many passengers
stranded at platforms, unable to board on overloaded trains. Dispatchers may put in place …

A complete traffic analysis for sequential metro lines with or without reference to a nominal
time schedule is developed. The intrinsic instability of metro lines is pointed out. It is shown …
