IMPROVEMENT OF AN UNDERGROUND'S TRANSPORT CAPACITY WITH TWO DIFFERENT OBJECTIVES

The paper deals with optimization studies that looked into minimizing run time as train frequency increases, (this minimizes the number of trains necessary to run the service); and making the best use of the given theoretical transport capacity by looking for all servicing trains with balanced load. The studies were part of an investigation into connecting the Paris subway system with a suburban subway. They were carried out using new hierarchic simulation methods.
