Abstract EN
Train timetable stability is the possibility to recover the status of the trains to serve as arranged according to the original timetable when the trains are disturbed.
To improve the train timetable stability from the network perspective, the bilevel programming model is constructed, in which the upper level programming is to optimize the timetable stability on the network level and the lower is to improve the timetable stability on the dispatching railway segments.
Timetable stability on the network level is defined with the variances of the utilization coefficients of the section capacity and station capacity.
Weights of stations and sections are decided by the capacity index number and the degrees.
The lower level programming focuses on the buffer time distribution plan of the trains operating on the sections and stations, taking the operating rules of the trains as constraints.
A novel particle swarm algorithm is proposed and designed for the bilevel programming model.
The computing case proves the feasibility of the model and the efficiency of the algorithm.
The method outlined in this paper can be embedded in the networked train operation dispatching system.
