The properly configuration of large-scale auxiliary construction project (LACP) is critical to ensuring the successful construction of railway projects within the specified schedule, quality, and investment requirements. Current trial-and-error guided alignment-LACP concurrent optimization methods exhibit low search efficiency in complex environments and often struggle to yield feasible solutions. To address this issue, this paper proposes a gravity field-guided railway alignment-LACP intelligent concurrent optimization method. First, an alignment-LACP concurrent optimization objective is established based on their synergy. Based on this, a quantitative evaluation method for environmental suitability of traversing alignments and LACP layouts is proposed. Then, the alignment traversing suitability and LACP layout suitability are abstracted into primary and secondary gravitational fields, respectively. Finally, the these suitability gravity fields are integrated into a particle swarm optimization algorithm for guiding the optimization of the railway alignment-LACP solutions. The intelligent concurrent optimization method proposed in this study is applied to a real-world railway case in a mountainous region. Experimental results show that this method efficiently generates an alignment-LACP concurrent optimization scheme that outperforms the manually-designed solution in terms of cost, alignment environmental suitability, and construction period.
