Abstract: The study on scheduling optimization of products pipeline network via batch transportation just started in China, which mismatches the rapid development of products pipeline network in the country. However, the activity was initiated earlier abroad, and some achievements have been achieved, which are worthy of reference. In view of two kinds of classification methods, i.e. scheduling model time phraseology and scheduling model solution expression, and based on relevant literatures, this paper reviews the results of study on current pipeline network scheduling. Moreover, this paper analyzes the sub-problems in the pipeline network scheduling model, summarizes the corresponding solution methods, and finally points out the direction for studying the scheduling of products pipeline network in the future.
