A Stochastic Programming Approach for Scheduling Extra Metro Trains to Serve Passengers from Uncertain Delayed High-Speed Railway Trains by Sihui Long, Lingyun Meng, Xiaojie Luan, Alessio Trivella, Jianrui Miao, Francesco Corman

“…In this paper, we consider the extra metro train scheduling problem in which the metro operator decides how many extra metro trains to dispatch and their schedules. The problem is complex because (i) the arrival of delayed HSR trains is usually uncertain, and (ii) the operator has to minimize operating costs (i.e., number of additional trains and operation-ending time) but maximize the number of served passengers, which are two conflicting objectives. …”
