Abstract

This paper considers the simultaneous high-speed train assignment and maintenance scheduling problem. For the maintenance scheduling module, our focus is the second-level maintenance, which is carried out once a month on average. We propose a binary non-linear programming model to mathematically describe the problem. The objective aims to minimize the mileage losses for all high-speed trains and the constraints cover various operational requirements and capacity restrictions. To model the difficult operational requirements, a novel cumulative mileage update function is developed; meanwhile, to describe the depot maintenance capacity restriction, we employ a state function that is able to identify whether a train is in the maintenance state or in the operation state.
