Abstract

Passenger and freight train scheduling problem on double-track railway line is considered by using Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm. The aim is to reasonably arrange the dispatch sequence of the trains to minimize the total run time. The constrains in train scheduling problem are considered and the model is established. Due to the complexity of train scheduling problem, this problem is solved by ACO and implemented by programming. A case study is presented to illustrate the solution. The results illustrate that the proposed method is effective to solve the scheduling problem on double-track railway line.
