Abstract Timetable synchronization is an effective measure to improve the service level of metro network. This paper proposes a timetable synchronization optimization model from the perspective of passengers, what we called Passenger Centric Timetable Synchronization (PCTS) model. The model aims to maximize the satisfaction of passengers by adjusting the departure time, running time, dwelling time and headways for all transfer pairs in the metro network. Genetic algorithm is applied to solve the model. Finally, the timetable of Hangzhou metro network is optimized to verify the effectiveness of the above model. The results show that the PCTS model can be used to improve the satisfaction of passengers in metro network significantly.
