Subway is considered to be one of the most energy-intensive transportation modes for its high operating frequency. However, energy-efficient operations for the subway system are of great importance yet have not been paid much attention to. In this study, we first develop an integrated energy-efficient and transfer-accessible model to minimize the tractive energy consumption and maximize the number of last train connections, which could contribute to the development of high energy-efficient strategies and the construction of wide-accessibility timetables for the subway system. Four tractive modes, which are accelerating-braking (A-B) mode, accelerating-coasting-braking (A-Co-B) mode, accelerating-cruising-braking (A-Cr-B) mode, and the mixed mode, are proposed to facilitate the last train operations. A real-life case study of the Beijing subway network is solved by a tailored genetic algorithm. Results show that the A-B mode is the most energy-intensive with an energy consumption of 466.9 kWh, while the A-Co-B mode becomes the most energy-efficient (402.5 kWh). The A-Cr-B and the mixed modes consume 442.2 kWh and 412.8 kWh, respectively. The findings are of significant value for subway companies in addition to their academic merits. (C) 2021 Elsevier B.V.
