  • A Two-Step Linear Programming Model for Energy-Efficient Timetables in Metro Railway Networks
    A Two-Step Linear Programming Model for Energy-Efficient Timetables in Metro Railway Networks Shuvomoy Das Gupta∗ J. Kevin Tobiny Lacra Pavelz Abstract In this paper we propose a novel two-step linear optimization model to calculate energy-efficient timetables in metro railway networks. The resultant timetable minimizes the total energy consumed by all trains and maximizes the utilization of regenerative energy produced by braking trains, subject to the constraints in the railway network. In contrast to other existing models, which are NP-hard, our model is computationally the most tractable one being a linear program. We apply our optimization model to different instances of service PES2-SFM2 of line 8 of Shanghai Metro network spanning a full service period of one day (18 hours) with thousands of active trains. For every instance, our model finds an optimal timetable very quickly (largest runtime being less than 13s) with significant reduction in effective energy consumption (the worst case being 19.27%). Code based on the model has been integrated with Thales Timetable Compiler - the industrial timetable compiler of Thales Inc that has the largest installed base of communication-based train control systems worldwide. Keywords Railway networks, energy efficiency, regenerative braking, train scheduling, linear program- ming. 1 Introduction 1.1 Background and motivation Efficient energy management of electric vehicles using mathematical optimization has gained a lot of attention in recent years [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. When a train makes a trip from an origin platform to a destination platform, its optimal speed profile consists of four phases: 1) maximum acceleration, 2) speed hold, 3) coast and 4) maximum brake 6, as shown in Figure 1 in a qualitative manner.

  • Bombardier Manufactures a Variety of Standalone Transit Systems, Including the INNOVIA Monorail, the INNOVIA APM, and the MOVIA Light Metro
    Response to City of San Jose RFI 2019-DOT-PPD-4 New Transit Options: Airport-Diridon-Stevens Creek Transit Connection Bombardier manufactures a variety of standalone transit systems, including the INNOVIA Monorail, the INNOVIA APM, and the MOVIA Light Metro. All these systems, or a combination of these systems, could be an excellent basis for the Airport - Diridon - Steven's Creek corridor project(s). Of the three technologies, the INNOVIA Monorail appears to best address the objectives of the proposed project in that it is less expensive to construct, can be constructed more rapidly, and operates in a grade-separated, high capacity system. Ultimately the choice of technology depends on a variety of factors, most notably the planned ridership per hour, which are not available at present. As such, Bombardier has submitted information on all three technologies, and looks forward to the opportunity to discuss the best fit solution with the City of San Jose at their convenience. Bombardier anticipates that this project could be delivered as a Design-Build-Operate Maintain Finance (DBFOM) Public Private Partnership (PPP).

  • Identifying Organizational and Contractual Drivers Behind Metro Accidents in Shanghai
    IDENTIFYING ORGANIZATIONAL AND CONTRACTUAL DRIVERS BEHIND METRO ACCIDENTS IN SHANGHAI Yue Chen, 4181166 Construction Management and Engineering Faulty of Civil Engineering Technology University of Delft November 2013 0 ABSTRACT In recent years, China has witnessed rapid development in urban transportation, especially in metro projects. However the safety records of metro projects is rather worrying and cannot help to make us think where actually is going wrong. Official reports have claimed that the causes for those metro accidents are mainly from technical and organizational aspects. But are the reports really telling the true story? Or are there deeper reasons that lead to accidents which are not so obvious? In previous studies, Martin de Jong and Yongchi Ma have asked the same question. They conduct their research on three Chinese cities of Beijing, Hangzhou and Dalian through Jens Rasmussen’s safety theory: drift to safety boundaries. In this theory, various incentives drive stakeholders to trade off quality and safety for other core values, resulting in safety boundaries to be crossed. All three cities represent a certain extent of profit driven, excessive subcontracting and loose monitoring which rightly match what is described in Rasmussen’s theory. In my study, I will take the city Shanghai as an example to do a replicative research following Martin de Jong and Ma Yongchi’s work. Based on the main research question of searching for the contractual and organizational arrangements in metro accidents, firstly Rasmussen’s theory will be discussed in Chapter 2 to lay a theoretical underpinning for latter research. Secondly the development of Shanghai metro system will be introduced to provide background information for latter case studies.
