Abstract

After the disruption of intercity railways, in order to effectively enhance system resilience and improve the sustainability of the intercity transit system, this paper studies the emergency response problem of multimodal collaboration based on the intercity multimodal transit system. Considering the constraints of the disrupted network structure, multimodal emergency resources, dynamic passenger demand, and passenger participation willingness, a bi-level optimization model is established for maximizing system resilience and minimizing the deviation of passengers’ desired arrival time. This paper integrally determines the transit capacity, timetable, and passenger quantity on each line of each mode. A hybrid genetic and ant colony algorithm is designed to solve the problem. Taking the regional disruption of the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei intercity railway network as a case study, the research results show that 59% of demand can be met with a single attempt and 70% of the arrival time is within the planned period. Based on this resilience-enhancement strategy, the imbalance between travel demand and transit capacity can be sustainably alleviated after railway disruption.
