In big cities, the metro lines usually face great pressure caused by huge passengers demand, especially during peak hours. When disruptions occur, accumulate quickly at stations. It is of importance for dispatchers to take passenger flow control into consideration traffic management ensure passengers' safety and maintain their satisfaction. This paper proposes an integrated disruption model, which incorporates train rescheduling control. this services can be short-turned, cancelled rerouted,...

In practice, the operation of high-speed trains is often affected by adverse weather conditions or equipment failures, which result in delays and even cancellations train services. this article, a novel two-layer hierarchical model predictive control (MPC) proposed for on-line railway delay management minimizing cancellations. The upper layer manages global objectives operation, that is, total providing guidance speed lower layer. are to satisfy running time requirements given save energy at...

Within the metro networks of agglomerations all over world, circle lines play important roles with respect to network connectivity and passenger transfer. The train rescheduling problem a line under small disturbances is considered in this paper, including response rules for inserting standby trains, using storage tracks, holding. A mixed-integer nonlinear programming model proposed, aiming minimize timetable deviations, headway variations, number cancelled stops, rolling stocks, which then...

Urban railway transit systems in big cities operate at high capacity and represent the main arteries of city transport networks. In current operations, infrastructure failures occur occasionally causing severe disruptions. this research, we propose a novel integrated disruption management methodology for automatically rescheduling trains controlling passenger flows given disruption. Our framework incorporates train traffic model together with adjusting passengers aims to minimize total delay...

The potential of flexible-manufacturing workcells (FMCs) to produce a family parts in many possible orders operations and choices different machines is advantageous. Despite intensive research on the theoretical control discrete-event systems, however, current techniques can still only be used for supervisory simple cells.

Due to the increase of passenger demand, urban rail transit lines are faced with significant challenges. To enhance transport capacity, researchers have introduced concept virtual coupling, which replaces physical train connections wireless communication. This innovation allows trains couple and decouple during their operation, offering advantages in capacity. The coupling technology not only reduces headway, but also facilitates flexible decoupling operations adapt varying flow. While there...

In case of a metro disruption, the collaborative optimization for train rescheduling combined with passenger flow demand is quite essential since not adequately considered. To handle this gap, study first establishes two separated models, i.e. model and model. On side, short-turnings, fully cancellation or partial are taken into account to construct disrupted timetable aims minimizing delays deviations from original timetable. time-dependent OD incorporated passenger's arrival, loading...

With the expansion of metro networks, it is common that a line equipped with multiple depots.

Therefore, important investigate integrated timetabling planning problem for lines A mixed integer linear programming formulation proposed generate plans simultaneously depots, in capacity depot balances between depots...

Lightly-damped dynamics of a flexure-based mechanism will tend to largely deteriorate the broadband control performance if its hysteresis nonlinearity has been compensated. This paper developed novel damped piezo-driven decoupled XYZ nanopositioning stage, which consists three orthogonal parallel kinematic subchains, in each subchain translational pair using bridge-type actuator and two Cardan joints orthogonal- axis flexure hinges.

People in major cities are increasingly choosing urban rail transit as their primary mode of public transportation. Excessive passengers on trains and platforms represent a high risk low comfort for passengers, so it is critical to implement passenger flow control strategy improve safety platforms.
