Title: Planning Service Protocols for Extra-Long Trains with Transfers
Authors: Jesus Osorio, Shiyu Shen, Yanfeng Ouyang
Abstract: This paper presents a modeling framework for optimizing operational protocols of extra-long trains (XLTs) in metro systems; i.e., trains longer than station platforms. With the rising travel demand in megacities, metro systems face challenges such as overcrowded stations, delays, and passenger anxieties. XLTs have been proposed as a promising solut...
