An Alternative Approach for High Speed Railway Carrying Capacity Calculation Based on Multiagent Simulation

الملخص EN

It is a multiobjective mixed integer programming problem that calculates the carrying capacity of high speed railway based on mathematical programming method.

The model is complex and difficult to solve, and it is difficult to comprehensively consider the various influencing factors on the train operation.

The multiagent theory is employed to calculate high speed railway carrying capacity.

In accordance with real operations of high speed railway, a three-layer agent model is developed to simulate the operating process of high speed railway.

In the proposed model, railway network agent, line agent, station agent, and train agent are designed, respectively.

To validate the proposed model, a case study is performed for Beijing–Shanghai high speed railway by using NetLogo software.

The results are consistent with the actual data, which implies that the proposed multiagent method is feasible to calculate the carrying capacity of high speed railway.
