A Fuzzy Model for a Railway-Planning Problem
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper discusses the issue of how to solve multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) problems by applying fuzzy logic. Multicriteria decision-making problems often involve a complex decision process in which multiple requirements and fuzzy conditions have to be taken into consideration simultaneously. Fuzzy set theory provides the mathematical technique for the systematic handling of imprecise data. This paper outlines an evaluation-framework which integrates fuzzy logic with multi-criteria decision-making in the context of an infrastructure planning. Furthermore, the proposed approach is applied to a real decisional problem connected to the planning and construction of a new railway link to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed method. The study results show that this method is an effective means for tackling MCDM problems in a fuzzy environment.

The railway transportation planning under the fuzzy environment is investigated in this paper. As a main result, a new modeling method, called minimum risk chance-constrained model, is presented based on the credibility measure. For the convenience ofs olving the mathematical model, the crisp equivalents ofc hance functions are analyzed under the condition that the involved fuzzy parameter...
متن کاملTwo Mathematical Models for Railway Crew Scheduling Problem
Railway crew scheduling problem is a substantial part of the railway transportation planning, which aims to find the optimal combination of the trip sequences (pairings), and assign them to the crew complements. In this problem, each trip must be covered by at least one pairing. The multiple-covered trips lead to impose useless transfers called “transitions”. In this study, a new ma...

The passenger line planning is a process of strategic long-term decision-making problem in the field of railway passenger planning. A line is a route between starting point and destination with certain stops, which has a certain frequency of train schedule. A new solution based on decomposition algorithm has been proposed in this paper, which is defined in a master problem and two sub problems....
