Trajectory Optimisation

Automatic train operation (ATO) systems are fast becoming one of the key components of the intelligent high-speed railway (HSR). Designing an effective optimal speed trajectory for ATO is critical to guide the high-speed train (HST) to operate with high service quality in a more energy-efficient way. In many advanced HSR systems, the traction/braking systems would provide multiple notches to satisfy the traction/braking demands. This paper modelled the applied force as a controlled variable based on the selection of notch to realise a notch-based train speed trajectory optimisation model to be solved by mixed integer linear programming (MILP). A notch selection model with flexible vertical relaxation was proposed to allow the traction/braking efforts to change dynamically along with the selected notch by introducing a series of binary variables. Two case studies were proposed in this paper where Case study 1 was conducted to investigate the impact of the dynamic notch selection on train operations, and the optimal result indicates that the applied force can be flexibly adjusted corresponding to different notches following a similar operation sequence determined by optimal train control theory. Moreover, in addition to the maximum traction/braking notches and coasting, medium notches with appropriate vertical relaxation would be applied in accordance with the specific traction/braking demands to make the model feasible. In Case study 2, a comprehensive numerical example with the parameters of CRH380AL HST demonstrates the robustness of the model to deal with the varying speed limit and gradient in a real-world scenario. The notch-based model is able to obtain a more realistic optimal strategy containing dynamic notch selection and speed trajectory with an increase (1.622%) in energy consumption by comparing the results of the proposed model and the non-notch model.

Methods for solving the carrying capacity problem for High-Speed Railways (HSRs) have received increasing attention in the literature in the last few years. As important nodes in the High-Speed Railway (HSR) network, large stations are usually the carrying capacity bottlenecks of the entire network due to the presence of multiple connections in different directions and the complexity of train operations at these stations. This paper focuses on solving the station carrying capacity problem and considers train set utilization constraints, which are important influencing factors that have rarely been studied by previous researchers. An integer linear programming model is built, and the CPLEX v12.2 software is used to solve the model. The proposed approach is tested on a real-world case study of the Beijing South Railway Station (BS), which is one of the busiest and most complex stations in China. Studies of the impacts of different train set utilization constraints on the practical station carrying capacity are carried out, and some suggestions are then presented for enhancing the practical carrying capacity. Contrast tests indicate that both the efficiency of the solving process and the quality of the solution show huge breakthroughs compared with the heuristic approach.

Circulation Problem

Train-set circulation problem is an important issue in operations of high-speed passenger trains in the world. On the basis of characteristics of the train-set circulation problem in China, an integer programming model is presented without considering distinct train-set types. With redefinitions of some basic mathematical objects and operations, an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm is proposed to solve the model. The algorithm is applied in a real-life case study based on the timetable of the Wuhan-Guangzhou High-speed Railway Line. The results show that the proposed algorithm is effective to find the optimized train-set circulation plan.

The Relationship

Carrying capacity calculation at high-speed railway stations is closely related to the trains with different types and arriving rules. Traditional method is not feasible to calculate and evaluate carrying capacity at high-speed railway stations efficiently and accurately. Therefore, a method to calculate carrying capacity at high-speed railway stations was presented by establishing a route selection optimization model and designing corresponding algorithm. In the method, the integration concept of calculating carrying capacity was introduced by establishing the relationship between receiving dispatching route and arrival-departure track. An approach was provided to the solution of route selection scheme and calculating carrying capacity at high-speed railway stations efficiently and accurately by considering the differences of trains with different operation modes and operation time. Case study of Jinan West railway station verifies the feasibility of the method. The presented method can provide a technical support for calculating and evaluating carrying capacity at high-speed railway stations in different scenarios.
