| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 交通管理學系碩博士班 === 100 === The operation of a mass rapid transit (MRT) should consider the balance between total system cost and service level. In a MRT system, the main service is to provide people with the cost-affordable mobility, in the regulation of MRT service indicators, the government sets the minimum standards to ensure a certain level of MTR services. Thereby, how to schedule an optimal operating model is one of the important operational issues for a MRT system.
In the past research of MRT operations, mostly focused on issues of train delay, energy saving, route design or overall system operating regards, and placed less focus on the optimal headway problem. In the Kaohsiung Mass Rapid Transit (KMRT) system, the total ridership has not reached a predicted level, but the service in terms of the Train Service Plan (TSP, a plan concerning train operation under the government regulation) provided is more than needed. Therefore, a headway-oriented model for the KMRT is crucial to minimize total system cost while maintaining the certain level of train service.
In this research, we aim to establish a headway-oriented model which can be dynamically adjusting train schedule depending on the passenger spatio-temporal distribution data during daily operation. The developed model will be solved by both the operating cost and passenger waiting cost. Finally, numerical case study and sensitivity analysis will be conducted to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the development models and solution algorithms.
