A Train Formation Plan with Elastic Capacity for Large-Scale Rail Networks
Boliang Lin, Zhenyu Wang, Yinan Zhao
This paper studies the problem of optimizing the train formation plan and traffic routing (TFP&TR) simultaneously. Based on the previous research of TFP&TR with determinate paramet…
The Trade-off Strategy between Railroads and Customers: A Case Study for Low-frequency Entire Trains
Boliang Lin, Zexi Zhang
Some large freight railroads ship a number of shipments over the rail network annually. To reduce unnecessary reclassifications of shipments on their routes, each railroad is willi…
Optimization of Express Train Service Network: Under the Competition of Highway Transportation
Boliang Lin
In order to reduce the carbon emission, the related government departments encourage road freights to be transferred more by railway transportation. In China freight transport syst…
Optimizing Electric Multiple Unit Circulation Plan within Maintenance Constraints for High-Speed Railway System
Jian Li, Boliang Lin
The Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) circulation plan is the foundation of EMU assignment and maintenance planning,and its primary task is to determine the connections of trains in ter…
Large-scale rail freight flow assignment with the tree-shaped path
Bo-Liang Lin
The rail freight flow assignment (RFFA) is a key point of network design and operations management. Unlike a road network, the freight flow assignment pattern in a rail system has…
The design of courier transportation networks with a nonlinear zero-one programming model
Boliang Lin
The courier industry is one of the most essential parts of the modern logistics. Meanwhile, the courier transportation network is one of the most important infrastructures of couri…
The Location-Allocation Model for Multi-Classification-Yard Location Problem in a Railway Network
Boliang Lin
Classification yards are crucial nodes of railway freight transportation network, which plays a vital role in car flow reclassification and new train formation. Generally, a modern…
A short-term planning model for high-speed train assignment and maintenance scheduling
Boliang Lin
This paper considers the simultaneous high-speed train assignment and maintenance scheduling problem. For the maintenance scheduling module, our focus is the second-level maintenan…
Integrating car path optimization with train formation plan: a non-linear binary programming model and simulated annealing based heuristics
Boliang Lin
An essential issue that a freight transportation system faced is how to deliver shipments (OD pairs) on a capacitated physical network optimally; that is, to determine the best phy…
An Approach to the High-level Maintenance Planning for EMU Trains Based on Simulated Annealing
Boliang Lin, Ruixi Lin
A high-speed train needs high-level maintenance when its accumulated running mileage or time reaches predefined threshold. The date of delivering an Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) tr…
Major Maintenance Schedule Optimization for Electric Multiple Unit Considering Passenger Transport Demand
Jianping Wu, Boliang Lin
It is an important objective pursued in a railway agency or company to reduce the major maintenance costs of electric multiple unit (EMU). The EMU major maintenance schedule decide…
