This study focuses on the rescheduling problem with disruptions that cause partial blockages in urban rail transit (URT), contributing to extending relative train studies. The alternative driving measure (ADM), which could be regarded as one rerouting measure, is used skip blocked section, and a mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model built based it. Time-varying passenger flow well turnaround process of rolling stocks taken into consideration. To solve model, customized genetic algorithm quickly generate high-quality solutions. Real-world data studied sensitivity analyses are verify feasibility advantage ADM. results validate proposed algorithm, confirm ADM shows significantly better performance than practical operation promoting service quality URT under blockage.
