Abstract
Railway material management represents a significant challenge in the daily operations of railway departments. Accurate and efficient prediction of railway material demand holds substantial practical and academic significance. This paper, based on a large amount of real railway material data provided by one large railway company in China, constructs a prediction model using a particle swarm optimization-based neural network to forecast railway material demand. The study finds that the particle swarm optimization-based neural network model not only possesses a high prediction accuracy but also exhibits strong generalization capabilities, making it particularly suitable for railway material data characterized by high discreteness and randomness.
