Abstract
By analyzing the train combination operation flow and characteristics in the technical station at the beginning of heavy-haul railway, and considering the constraints of route conflict between departure route and locomotive running track, route conflict within arrival-departure tracks, the number of arrival-departure tracks, a mixed integer programming model was constructed with the aim of maximizing the train carrying capacity from the technical station in unit time. Finally, analyze the model through a practical example, the results indicated that within four hours, compared with the actual field experience combination scheme compilation method, the optimized train combination strategy can improve the transportation capacity in the technical station by 13.33%., thus verifying the feasibility and applicability of the model and algorithm.
