Coordinated optimization of departure sequencing and section-track allocation in railway short-term concentrated departure scenarios based on qubo and hybrid quantum algorithms
Researchers have developed a new method for optimizing railway departure schedules and track allocation using a Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) model. This model is integrated with a simulation layer to evaluate operational performance under various conditions, including delays. Hybrid quantum algorithms, specifically QPSO-QAOA, showed the best performance, reducing costs and delays compared to conventional methods. AI
