Abstract: To improve the efficiency of adjacent metro trains entering and leaving a station,
we propose an improved genetic algorithm (IGA) which introduces a combinational mutation
strategy to the classical genetic algorithm. Based on this algorithm, the running processes of
adjacent metro trains within stations are optimized. The process is primarily divided into three
stages: posterior trains entering the station, posterior trains stopping at the station, and previous
trains leaving the station. These stages are principally influenced by four factors: the acceleration
and initial speed of the posterior train entering the station; the time when the previous train
leaves the station; and the acceleration of the previous train leaving the station. Moreover, there
are certain coupling features and relationships among these factors. How to search for the
optimal values of these factors is the issue to be discussed in this paper. Experiment results show
that we can obtain an optimal solution in the space established by a suitable combination of
values for these factors, and that the IGA is potentially useful for optimization design. © 2013
