Abstract

Based on the systematic analysis of the operation process at two-way marshaling station, the operation ways of through car flows, sorting car flows and loading car flows are comprehensively studied. An optimal model of system operation division of labor based on resource constraint is constructed. The model is solved by using genetic algorithm, and the improving strategy for solving the model is proposed. The application example indicates that the model and algorithm can effectively solve the problem of operation division of labor at two-way marshaling station.
