Real-time control of metro train dynamics with minimization of train time-headway variance [PDF]

open access: yes2018 21st International Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSC), 2018
We present here a real-time control model for the train dynamics in a linear metro line system. The model describes the train dynamics taking into account average passenger arrival rates on platforms, including control laws for train dwell and run times, based on the feedback of the train dynamics. The model extends a recently developed Max-plus linear

Headway Optimisation for Metro Lines Based on Timetable Simulation and Simulated Annealing

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Transportation, 2022
To improve the capacity of metro systems, it is important to evaluate and minimise headway, which is defined as the time interval calculated from “head to head” between two successive trains in this paper.
