In China, there is a significant surge and fluctuation in the passenger flow of high-speed railways during holidays, holiday line plan made by adding weekend/peak lines to workday plan. Therefore, finding balance between adaptability demand such relatively fixed structure has become difficult problem, which crucial factor sustainable operation railway transport. This paper first designs proposes an algorithm for compiling pool weekend peak lines. By introducing time dimension, multi-day...

Air and high-speed rail (AH) integration services are gaining ground with the development of railway airline industries. A well-designed feeder train timetable good synchronization is great significance in an AH service, because it can improve connectivity at transfer nodes offer more opportunities for intermodal passengers to travel. In this study, we propose a multi-objective model problem service synchronization. The aims optimization maximize number synchronizations coverage synchronized...

Railway seat inventory control aims to maximize ticket sale profits by determining a selling policy on the reservation horizon. This paper introduces dynamic bid price approach in railway problem. Multi-dimensional demand is taken into consideration modeling problem, which passenger transfer our main focus. A new approximate designed this Numerical examples are presented evaluate efficiency of approach. Simulation experiments conducted verify impact under different scenarios.

China Railway Corporation (CRC) has been paid more attention to passenger transportation revenue, with its increase proportion in revenue. Due the price regulation, only way CRC can improve ticket sale profit is find a best seat allocation scheme. This study focuses on optimization of railway revenue management problem consideration i) customer behaviors including their arrival and purchase preferences, ii) specific booking mechanism called "seat-based control". To evaluate performance...

One important benefit of air and high-speed railway (AH) integration services is increasing the number destinations within passengers' reach, which means intermodal can facilitate passengers from cities that are linked to nearby airports by railway, travel or more locations. However, certain origin-destination (OD) pairs not accessible when flight train timetables well coordinated, will lead a reduction in overall benefit. Given original timetables, joint optimization model for proposed,...

With the development of high-speed railway (HSR) systems, rail express delivery (HSReD) is currently growing trend in cargo transport. The decisions on line planning and freight flow allocation are two main problems for practical operation HSReD. This paper focuses integrating above issues, considering differentiated transportation modes products. A collaborative optimisation model developed to maximise benefits Numerical experiments conducted based Beijing-Shanghai HSR. results show that...

The profit of railway passenger transportation management (RPTM) is determined by (1) the cost, which mainly related to supply schedules (e.g., line plan, timetable, and crew schedule), (2) income ticket sales in reservation horizon, at beginning a allocation plan be made based on timetable. Generally, are separately. This may lead loss global optimality terms maximizing RPTM, since schedule with higher cost yield more profit. paper fills this gap proposing an integer linear programming...

Railway seat inventory control aims at maximizing profit in the ticket booking process. This paper focuses on optimizing nested-pattern limit policy processed by China Company with consideration of heterogeneous customer behaviors. The mechanism this is illustrated a compact and structurized model. heterogeneity behavior taken to account dividing full market into segments, within which behaviors are modeled independently, including choosing, waiting, quitting. problem expressed formalized...

This paper proposes a train timetable adjustment method to increase potential ticket revenue specific runs mainly with loading factors of low level. The effectiveness is evaluated by an existing seat inventory control simulation tool. A formalized model stated problem built which describes various measures adapting different circumstances encountered in given timetable. In the numerical instance analysis, taking real-life high speed rail line as background, series iterative simulations are...
