Abstract
To generate line plan in emergencies for railway networks to complete the passenger transportation, we first build a mathematical model in this chapter, focusing on the frequency setting and stops setting. Then, considering the OD passenger flow data, we first propose the method to solve the train frequency setting problem of different types. Genetic algorithm is designed to solve the stops setting problem. The approach is tested with the data from the Beijing–Shanghai high-speed railway and its neighbor existing railway. We find that the model is suitable to generate line plan in emergencies for railway networks and the algorithm has good calculating performance. The new method to generate line plan proposed in this chapter can be embedded in the decision support system for railway operators.
