Abstract

The optimization of train formation plan is a large-scale combinatorial optimization problem, which is difficult to solve. This paper mainly studies the optimization algorithm of the single-block train formation plan. The corresponding mathematical model is established by consulting relevant literature, and a positive feedback search algorithm based on absolute conditions is proposed. First of all, the wagon flow that meets the absolute conditions directly runs through train flow without making other choices. For the wagon flow that does not meet the absolute conditions, select the target station to reach directly according to the probability. The probability of wagon flow selecting a station is calculated according to the pheromone of the wagon flow at the station. At the same time, a pheromone update strategy with positive feedback mechanism is proposed to make the search process converge. Finally, the feasibility of the algorithm and the necessity of introducing absolute conditions into the algorithm are verified by taking eight technical stations in the linear direction of the road network as examples.
