Optimization of Train Control Strategy for Energy Saving and Time Precision Using Multi-Objective Cuckoo Search Algorithm

Published: 22 October 2018 Publication History

Abstract

In1 this paper, multi-objective optimization problem of train operation is discussed. The optimization model of train operation is established subject to security, stop position, passenger comfort level with energy consumption and running time regarded as the optimization indexes. Incorporated with leader selection strategy, basic cuckoo search algorithm is expanded to solve optimization problem with multiple objectives. On the basis of line information and management condition, the multiple objective cuckoo search algorithm is applied to calculate the train optimization model, and a set of balanced running control strategies is obtained after calculation. The simulation result shows that by applying the balanced strategy to train operation optimization problem, energy consumption is reduced by 10.1%-30.4% while guaranteeing running time is less than scheduled time, stop position and comfort level also achieve satisfied result. Then it's verified that improved algorithm can handle running situation with speed limit in section.
