“…The same problem is solved using hybrid genetic algorithm relating to a greedy method and local improvement algorithm as shown in [30,31]. Since genetic algorithms are methods of optimization and imitate random processes in nature, they are used for the optimization of single criteria problems.…”

Abstract:One of the greatest challenges in the public transportation network is the optimization of the passengers waiting time, where it is necessary to find a compromise between the satisfaction of the passengers and the requirements of the transport companies. This paper presents a detailed review of the available literature dealing with the problem of passenger transport in order to optimize the passenger waiting time at the station and to meet the requirements of companies (maximize profits or minimize cost). After a detailed discussion, the paper clarifies the most important objectives in solving a timetabling problem: the requirements and satisfaction of passengers, passenger waiting time and capacity of vehicles. At the end, the appropriate algorithms for solving the set of optimization models are presented.

“…Optimization models aiming at minimizing total passenger waiting time at railway stations have been proposed by Domschke (1989), Ceder (1991), Nachtigall (1996), Nachtigall and Voget (1996), Nachtigall and Voget (1997), Odijk (1996), Wong et al(2008), and Shafahi and Khani (2010). For instance, Wong et al (2008) developed a mixed integer programming optimization model that minimized all passengers' transfer waiting times in certain railway system for the timetable synchronization problem.…”
