A Simulated Annealing Approach for the Train Design Optimization Problem

Table 5

Total costs of Example 1.

Locomotive cost	2 (number of locomotives) × 400 = 800
Train travel cost	1,273 × 10 = 12,730 (see Table 2)
Car travel cost	38,284 × 0.75 = 28,713 (see Table 3)
Work-event cost	6 (number of train work-events) × 350 = 2,100
Blocks swap cost	60 (see Table 3)
Crew imbalance cost	2 × 600 = 1,200 (see Table 4)
Train imbalance cost	2 × 1,000 = 2,000
Missed cars cost	0
