철도차량소요계획을 위한 열거알고리듬

A routing is the path that an actual train set follows as it moves from one train to another train in a timetable. The number of routings is equivalent to the number of trainsets required to cover the timetable. The primary factors of rolling stock requirement plan include evaluating the minimum number of routings. This can be formulated as a set partitioning problem and solved using enumeration method or column generation method. In this paper we presents an enumeration algorithm which is useful to implement the enumeration method for the rolling stock requirement plan.
