In the practical operation of the Beijing metro systems, cyclic timetables are used, where the
dwell times for all train services are the same for a station during the whole day. Since the …

To improve the headway regularity and commercial speed of high-frequency metro lines
with overloaded passenger flow, this paper systematically investigates a joint optimal …

Traffic operation has a significant impact on energy consumption in metro lines and thus it is
important to analyze strategies to minimize it. In lines equipped with Automatic Train …

This paper addresses the real-time train regulation problem by taking the stop-skipping
strategy into account in high-frequency urban rail transit lines. During rush hours, if the train …

One of the strategies for the reduction of energy consumption in railways systems is to
execute efficient drivings (eco-driving). This eco-driving is the speed profile that requires the …

For metro systems in over-crowded conditions, when an unexpected disturbance occurs, the
operation of trains might be disturbed due to the high frequency and density of the metro …

Focusing on improving the operation efficiency and riding comfort of metro rail lines in the
peak hours, this article investigates the real-time train regulation and passenger load control …

Metropolitan railway operators' strategic plans include nowadays actions to reduce energy
consumption. The application of ecodriving initiatives in lines equipped with automatic train …

Trains equipped with automatic train operation (ATO) systems are operated between
stations according to the speed commands they receive from balises. These commands …

The wide-spread application of automatic train operation (ATO) system on metro lines allows
short service headways, high-density operations and high operation efficiency. This paper …
