Description
Summary:To meet the preference demands of the crew members of high-speed railway trains while forming a crew team, and to automate the compilation of adaptable crew member schemes, a bilateral matching decision method for crew members is proposed based on complete preference order information. This method first describes the mutual selection process between the chief stewards and stewards of a high-speed railway train as a one-to-many bilateral matching decision process between the chief stewards and stewards Subsequently, by constructing a virtual train chief stewards, the original one-to-many bilateral matching relationship between the chief stewards and stewards is transformed into a one-to-one bilateral matching relationship between the virtual chief stewards for modeling. Then, a dual-objective integer programming model is established with the minimum sum of preference order values as the objective. Finally, an optimization solver is used to calculate the problem under different scales, and a genetic algorithm is designed for large-scale scenarios. The analysis results of numerical examples show that the model and algorithm of train crew members based on bilateral matching decisions can meet the actual requirements of the crew department and have good application value.
