Abstract

Track allocation problem in railway stations with stochastic viewpoint is a crucial part of the planning processes for railway companies. This paper proposes a stochastic schedule based optimization model to solve the station track allocation problem that considers minimum occupation time of station reception-departure lines. The stochastic schedule consists of the average and variance of train arrival times and departure times, respectively. Owning to the NP-Completeness of the problem, a simulated annealing algorithm is designed to solve the mathematical programming model.
