Abstract
In order to study the issue of train operation adjustment of high-speed rail, the method of train operation adjustment based on conflict resolution is proposed. The procedure of train operation adjustment is divided into two steps, namely train paths self-recovery and train operation conflicts resolution. The characteristics of train operation conflicts resolution such as rigid constraints, dynamic and real-time, and combinatorial optimization are analyzed. Based on the analysis of the functions of the time costs and the after-effects of the conflict resolution, the calculation of conflict resolution cost for high-speed rail is studied. The procedure of train operation conflicts resolution and train operation adjustment based on conflict resolution for high-speed rail are given.
