Study of the Transport Plan of Metro Trains Using Fuzzy Linear Programming Method

The important task in organization of transport in metro network is to elaborate a methodology for optimization the transport plan of metro trains. The establishment of a transport plan includes the routing of metro trains and the number of trains. In the study is elaborated a methodology based of uncertainty of passenger flows. In research is applied fuzzy linear programming method that has been solved by membership function. The methodology was experimented for Sofia's metro network and was proposed an organization of metro trains. In the study have been compared the results of the methodology and the real situation. The presented approach could also be used for solving the transport plan in other type of transport.
