Abstract：In this paper,we focus on how to delivery high-value scattered freight on railway net-work.A mixed integer programming model is constructed,aiming at minimizing the total cost of train operation cost,loading and unloading cost,storing cost and delay cost,while taking a lot of important factors into consideration,such as the early departure time of goods and trains,arrival and departure time of trains at each station,stop scheme of trains,train size limitation of trains. A small case study is tested for our model.Its result shows that the proposed model can optimize the train service dispatching scheme based on time-space network considerations and the delivery strategies for all OD demands.In addition,sensitivity analyses are applied to several important parameters.
