Abstract

Abstract

In order to improve the scientificity and operation efficiency of tram network planning, the characteristics and indicators of tram operation network were studied, and the operation network searching method based on the characteristics of passenger flow demand was established.The separation characteristics of tram network and operation was considered, and the passenger flow demand-operation benefit was used to establish the node-edge network.Based on the section passenger flow volume, the initial selection threshhold was determined by Chebyshev law.The optimal operating beneficial model of time benefit-ticket price-operation cost was established bycomputing importance degrees and node-passerger volume matrix.The tram operation network was selected, and the overall scale of operation network was controlled by the genetic algorithm.Based on the tram network planning project in Xixian New Area, 14 operation lines were selected, the optimization of tram operation newtork was simulated by MATLAB softwore.Analysis result shows that the optimization operation line length of the tram is between 24-25 km, and the total scale of operation network is 339.5 km.The final operational network is well matched with the optimization benefit, the distribution of section passenger flow, the layout of tram network, the characteristics of passenger demand and the important distribution points of passenger flow, and most of the lines' lengths are less than 30 km, which meets the general tram operation network requirements.The optimization method takes into account many practical factors in the planning and operation of tram.Through the integration and quantification of searching process, the optimization result and the demand characteristics are more consistent.
