Optimizing the train timetable in a high-speed rail corridor: The implications on departure time, fare cost and seat preference of passengers. by Zhipeng Huang, Limin Yang, Jinlian Li, Tao Zhang, Zixian Qu, Yusen Miao

“…Impedance functions for various network arcs are developed, incorporating these three key attributes of travel demand and transforming the passenger travel choice issue into a path selection problem within the TSSN. A bi-level programming model is formulated: the upper level optimizes train operations and fare structures, while the lower level employs user equilibrium (UE) theory to distribute OD passenger demands across trains. …”

Energy efficiency maximization in MIMO links aided by metasurfaces with global reflection constraints by Ayşegül Ilay Tunalı, Robert Kuku Fotock, Alessio Zappone, Giorgio Taricco, Giuseppa Alfano, Hakan Ali Çırpan

“…Abstract This work develops two radio resource allocation algorithms to optimize the energy efficiency of a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication system where a metasurface is deployed near the transmit antenna array to create a reconfigurable holographic beamforming structure. The design involves jointly optimizing the transmit covariance matrix and the reflection coefficients of the reconfigurable holographic surface (RHS). …”
