Accessible Form

In the network operation stage of urban mass transit, the connection relations between lines can effectively improve travel accessibility. As the last opportunity to travel on the same day, whether the last train can achieve transfer will directly affect passengers’ travel experiences. It is an important work to make the connection scheme of the last train, which needs to take the network structure, the trend, and the volume of passenger flow into overall consideration. This paper analyzes the characters of the last train connection, including the connection structure and the accessible form. Then, we establish a scheme model and define the objectives, the constraints, and the decision data source, and transform it into a graph theory problem. Taking an urban mass transit network as an example, we demonstrate the solution process by using an improved Prim algorithm. Finally, the main aspects and methods of initial scheme optimization are proposed.

Transfer Stations

On urban mass transit network, some connections inherently exist between trains on different lines through transfer stations. Schedule coordination for different lines, especially optimizing the arriving and departure times at transfer stations, may significantly reduce transfer waiting times at stations where various routes are interconnected, so as to improve the passenger service level. Based on the passengers flow characters of urban mass transit (UMT), both the convenience and rationality of connection between different lines were considered, and then an optimization model, with the aims of the minimal total waiting time of transfer passengers and inboard passengers, was set up. Combining the inner coordination of arriving and departure time sequence of trains in transfer nodes with the exterior coordination of transfer nodes on whole urban mass transit network, a multi-layers coordination policy was proposed, and the integrated optimization of the urban mass transit system was realized through taking some small time shifts of the proposed singleline timetables. In order to verify the validity and feasibility of the model and algorithm, we conducted an experimental study. The result turns out that improvement on UMT network can be determined by such optimization techniques.

Transfer Stations

In urban mass transit network, when passengers’ trip demands exceed capacity of transport, the numbers of passengers accumulating in the original or transfer stations always exceed the safety limitation of those stations. It is necessary to control passenger inflow of stations to assure the safety of stations and the efficiency of passengers. We define time of delay (TD) to evaluate inflow control solutions, which is the sum of waiting time outside of stations caused by inflow control and extra waiting time on platform waiting for next coming train because of insufficient capacity of first coming train. We build a model about cooperative passenger inflow control in the whole network (CPICN) with constraint on capacity of station. The objective of CPICN is to minimize the average time of delay (ATD) and maximum time of delay (MTD). Particle swarm optimization for constrained optimization problem is used to find the optimal solution. The numeral experiments are carried out to prove the feasibility and efficiency of the model proposed in this paper.

Emergency is one of the main factors affecting the operation security and reliability of urban mass transit system. In order to improve the ability to copy with sudden accident, the Emergency Passenger Flow Guidance System was adopted, which can realize the effective guide of passenger flow under the emergency. On the basic of the study of passenger guidance technology and the design of the passenger guidance system, this paper takes Beijing urban rail transit network as an example to simulate the process of emergency passenger flow guidance. The result shows that the passenger guidance can ensure the security and open of the urban rail transit network to some extent through effecting passengers' travel plans.

The operation and management of urban mass transit network put forward higher requirements for last trains‘ transfer connection. Based on the analysis of coordination relationship and timeliness of accessible routes, this paper puts forward a dynamic passenger volume distribution method according to the generalized travel cost. Then the connection optimization model of last train departure time is built to increase accessible passenger volume and reduce passengers’ transfer waiting time of all OD pairs for last trains. Finally, the validity and rationality of this model and algorithm is verified with numerical analysis.

Abstract. Mass transit line network’s option is a fuzzy optimization problem. Its line network evaluation is multi-objective and multi-hierarchy and the evaluation subsystems are incompatible. First, considering the urban development coordination, construction implementation, rationality of urban mass transit line network structure and comprehensive effect, researches established the appraisal index system of urban mass transit network using an assistant decision-making tool of system-analysis. Second, the study established extension and fuzzy optimization model with a vague idea of fuzzy mathematics, the knowledge of extenics and TOPSIS, explored the fuzzy and incompatibility issues on urban mass transit line network evaluation. The study introduced negotiation theory into weight construction, expanded single AHP to multi-experts weighting methods and combined it with entropy theory to form a new weight construction method. Last, as a validation, Changsha urban mass transit line network were evaluated and verified the feasibility and practicality of the model and method mentioned above.
