Parameter

Definition of parameters

L(i)

A set of valid labels for node i, \(\forall i \in {\varvec{N}}\)

\({l_i}=(R{C_i},A{D_i},A{T_i},{P_i})\)

\({l_i}=(R{C_i},A{D_i},A{T_i},{P_i})\) is a label for node i, \({l_i} \in {\Gamma _i}\).; each of the labels h = 1,..., Hi represents a route r from the origin depot to node i

RCi

The reduced cost accumulated from the starting node to node i

ATi

The time accumulated from the last overhaul to node i

ADi

The mileage accumulated from the last overhaul to node i

Pi

\({P_i}=({\theta _1},{\theta _2},...,{\theta _n},...,{\theta _{\left| {\varvec{N}} \right|}})\), n = 1,...,\(\left| {\varvec{N}} \right|\), is a Boolean vector that indicates the state of a visited train node, where \(\left| {\varvec{N}} \right|\) is the number of nodes included in set N, \(\forall i \in {\varvec{N}}\)
