Based on the seat inventory control method of revenue management in airline, the author researches the optimization strategy on the seat inventory control in railway passenger transport. The author proposes one optimization model for seats allocation, which is to allocate seats by calculating the value to determine the order of getting seats for each OD under the analysis of the interaction among all trains running on the same rail lines and those trains’ demands intensity. The experiment results show that this new model can be used to allocate seats for the train with multiple stations rapidly and appropriately. In comparison with the method without considering the value of each OD, the model based on OD’s value can get better results.
