Abstract
The effective utilization of passenger train stock is the key to realize railway transportation plan and reduce the cost of operation. This paper researches on the utilization of passenger train stock of existing railway and proposes a set partitioning model, which is constrained by the train stock class and the carrying capacity of different train pairs based on the train operation plan. By limiting the number of connected train pairs, this problem is transformed into maximum matching problem of general graphs and solved by Lingo12. The optimal result shows that the optimization method proposed in this paper can do the pre-optimizing work before making the train working diagram and cut down the amount and cost of train stocks efficiently.
