An Optimization Model for Minimizing Transfer Time

도시철도 환승시간 최소화를 위한 최적화 모형

This paper presents an optimization model for revising train timetable based on an existing timetable to improve transfer time at each station. The transfer time consists of walking and waiting time. The model is formulated as a mixed integer programming. The objective function is to minimize the transfer time from one train to another train at each station. To reflect real situations, range of revising departure time is considered as major condition in the model. To validate the effectiveness of the model, rudimentary computational results are included, and the results are analyzed in terms of transfer time.
