Optimizing Train Stopping Patterns for Congestion Management
Abstract
In this paper, we optimize train stopping patterns during morning rush hour in Japan. Since trains are extremely crowded, we need to determine stopping patterns based not only on travel time but also on congestion rates of trains. We exploit a Wardrop equilibrium model to compute passenger flows subject to congestion phenomena and present an efficient local search algorithm to optimize stopping patterns which iteratively computes a Wardrop equilibrium. We apply our algorithm to railway lines in Tokyo including Keio Line with six types of trains and succeed in relaxing congestion with a small effect on travel time.
