For many years, the railroad business lost money in many countries such as Japan until many governments decided to privatize the industry in an attempt to reduce the cost components and to increase the efficiency of various units, significantly.

The implementation of the proposed model is demonstrated using some numerical examples to show the effectiveness of the method
