“…Freyss et al [18] studied the operation of skip-stop trains on a single one-way track line, and three types of station skip were discussed to find the benefits of skip-stop operations. Zhao et al [19] studied integrated timetable planning under an oversaturated demand condition. By adjusting the train scheduling, stop plan and rolling stock circulation, a mixed integer nonlinear programming model is developed to minimize the maximum waiting time of passengers and operation time of rolling stocks.…”

Due to the inherent complexity of the urban rail transit systems, transfers between lines are generally unavoidable for passengers. In order to solve the problem of long transfer waiting time during the first train period, the operation of first train with deadheading is proposed for the first train scheduling. The first train scheduling problem is to search for an optimal schedule by adjusting the total number of skipped stations and the headway of the first deadheading train. First, the scheduling of the energy-efficient first train is formulated as a mixed integer nonlinear programming model, which aims to minimize the total waiting time and the total energy consumption. Second, an efficient variable neighborhood simulated annealing algorithm is designed to solve the model. Numerical experiments on a sample network and the Nanjing Railway network are applied to verify the performance of the proposed method. The results show that the operation of deadheading first trains is an efficient strategy to reduce the total waiting time and the total energy consumption. Moreover, the number of transfer directions with long waiting times decreases significantly.INDEX TERMS First train scheduling, deadheading, energy consumption, variable neighborhood simulated annealing algorithm.

“…For example,Wang et al [2] integrated the TTP and VSP to improve energy efficiency. The model of Zhao et al [9] combined the TTP and VSP to balance the service level and operating cost. Michaelis and Schöbel [10] suggested a model for the LPP, TTP, and VSP to maximize the number of passengers using buses.…”

In the planning stage, train operators design timetables to serve passenger trips and a train circulation plan to support these timetables. These designs consider not only operating costs but also passenger convenience. In this study, we developed an optimization model for a new problem that focuses on timetabling and train-unit scheduling while also considering passenger itinerary choices in a schedule-based train system. This optimization model minimizes passenger travel costs within the constraints of a limited budget available for operating costs. The model is solved by an iterative heuristic that simulates the interaction between train operations and passenger itinerary choices. The heuristic solves the timetabling and train-unit scheduling problem using a decomposition approach to increase computational efficiency, while passenger loading is solved by a user-equilibrium passenger assignment model. An example based on the high-speed railway network in southern China was used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model and method.

“…With the opening of Beijing Tianjin inter-city high-speed railway, and other high-speed passenger dedicated lines such as Shijiazhuang-Taiyuan, Wuhan-Guangzhou, Zhengzhou-Xi'an, Beijing-Shanghai and Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hongkong, high-speed railway [1][2][3][4][5] is developing rapidly. For metro, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Nanjing, Chengdu and other cities have been operating in succession, China has made great progress in high-speed railway and urban rail transit [6][7][8][9][10][11] in recent years. At the same time, the State Council of China discussed and passed the '12th Five-Year' comprehensive transportation system plan on 21 March 2012.…”

In this work, multi-function vehicle bus (MVB) controller-based Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and MVB manager based on the real-time multitasking operating system were explored and developed. The function of the MVB controller data link layer was realised by using FPGA. The embedded real-time multitasking operating system uCOS-II was applied to the development of MVB manager’s processing data, device state management, message data and bus management function. The network consistency test was performed to validate data communication of MVB link layer control protocol and the management function of MVB manager; the equipment was shown to be compatible with each other and met the requirements of IEC61375-1.
