Resumen
The service capacity of each station has a direct impact on the capacity of a subway line and also the whole subway network. Therefore, it is critically important to keep the station capacity above a certain level in its full life cycle. This paper aims at keeping subway station capacity in a certain level range. In consideration of key equipment failure, the expected station capacity model is established. After that the lower bound of equipment reliability is determined by sensitivity analysis based on the equipment reliability-expected station capacity curve. Finally, the maintenance schedule optimization model is also proposed. The validity and practicability of the proposed method are demonstrated by a simulation case study.
