    Abstract
  • A method of dynamic service network design for railway container transportation is studied, considering the transfer schemes of containers. A linear programming model of the dynamic service network design for railway container transportation is constructed to minimize the total cost.In accordance with the characteristics of the problem, a solution approach based on Benders decomposition is developed. Then, the formulation is decomposed into a master problem of service network design and subproblems of container flow allocation. The cuts of the master problem are constantly generated by utilizing the solutions of dual subproblems to solve them iteratively. Some valid inequalities are used to tighten the master problem, thus overcoming slow convergence. The effectiveness of the model and algorithm is demonstrated, taking the network constructed by railway container terminals in Beijing and Zhengzhou as a case study. The numerical results indicate that for the design of large-scale dynamic service network, the improved algorithm spends 46 s to obtain an optimized solution, and the Gap is 1.56%. The unimproved Benders decomposition takes the same time, and the Gap is 45.17%. The application of improved strategies can improve calculation. The total cost of the optimized service network is reduced by about 20% compared to the service network with direct transportation organization. Compared with the existing plans for container train service, the optimized departure time and operation frequency of container trains can meet the transportation demand, ensuring that each container flow can be delivered to the destination within the specified transit period.
