Therefore, efficient utilization of rolling stock is a very important objective pursued in practice. The Train-Set Scheduling is the task of assigning train-sets to cover a given set of timetabled trips with considerations to practical requirements, such as maintenance, station capacity, and rules for circulation. Due to the complexity of this problem, this process is manually determined by employees at Taiwan Railway Administration (TRA) on daily basis. Experienced railroaders can generally create good and feasible train-set scheduling; however, there is no guarantee of optimality and considering only one-day process may lead to a myopic result away from the system optimum. Consequently, there is a need to develop a decision support framework to automatically generate the optimal train-set schedule. A good decision support tool for train-set scheduling should have the flexibility to adapt to the users’ specific goal. In this project, we plan to develop a train-set scheduling framework which is flexible enough to accommodate the users’ needs at specific time aiming at either [1] minimum number of trains while purchasing new rolling stocks or [2] maximum average lifespan of the train-sets while managing existing equipments. The best solution may sometimes be a balance between these two objectives, and this optimal strategy can be determined by conducting sensitivity analysis within the developed optimization framework. The proposed decision support framework can provide the railroad industry a great tool to purchase and utilize their rolling stock. With the appropriate parameters and constraints specified, this tool can be used for conventional rail, high speed rail, and urban rail systems. Such a tool will help railway agencies maximize their return from rolling stock investment and minimize the operational cost related to rolling stocks thus be better able to provide reliable service to their customers, and return on shareholder investment.軌道車輛運用決策支援系統Train SchedulingDecision Support System研發軌道車輛運用規劃工具
