Abstract The empty car distribution is an important part of technical plan for railway transportation and can deal with the unbalanced distribution of empty car reasonably. So, taken the uncertainty of freight supply and demand into account, a fuzzy empty car distribution model is established in the aim of minimizing the total empty car running kilometers. Furthermore, according to the characteristic of this problem, a two-phase genetic algorithm (GA) is put on emphases to propose based on simulation. Since different objective values can be obtained in different conditions rather than a crisp value, more information is provided for making adjustment measures. Therefore, the model and algorithm have theoretical value and practical value.
