Optimizing Model

Network line planning optimal considering extra-long distance transportation can adapt to high-speed railway (HSR) network operation environment and meet the demand of extra-long distance travel. First, the distance of 1500 km or more is defined as extra-long transportation distance based on market competitiveness. The difficulties of direct or transfer transportation for extra-long distance transportation are analyzed. Direct method of extra-long distance is determined according to direct passenger volume and the number of important nodes while transfer method is represented considering transfer times, organization forms, varieties of schemes, and comfort. Then, ideas of optimizing line plan based on riding scheme is put forward. Network optimizing line plan model with riding scheme is developed considering extra-long distance transportation. The model which minimizes traveling cost and train running expense optimizes train frequency and train stop plan with riding scheme. Last, the method and optimizing model is verified by the network which took Baoji–Lanzhou HSR as the core. The optimal result is a benefit to improve operation efficiency and market competitiveness of HSR.

Service Plan

The Beijing-Shanghai High speed railway line (Hereinafter referred to as “Jing-Hu HSL”) is one of the most important railway lines in the Chinese rapid passenger transportation network and will be put into operation at the end of 2011. Train line planning directly reflects the quality and competition ability of train services. The characteristics of operational conditions and passenger flow of this corridor HSL bring about a few new issues on train line planning like night train operation, train OD sets, cyclic operation, and train stop schedule. For the first issue, a large amount of long distance travel demand put forward the demand for night services, which causes great conflict with the time-window for maintenance work. The confliction can be solved by harmoniously utilizing the parallel lines. For the second one, in view of the differences of technical and economic factors between HSL and conventional railways, high frequency and medium-long distance train will dominate HSL’s train service plan rather than low frequency and long distance trains on conventional railways. Thus, part of long-distance passenger flow has to transfer at some stations. Considering the whole possible ODs over Jing-Hu HSL and the transfer condition of related stations, the optimal OD sets and corresponding transfer plan is suggested. High frequency makes HSL possible to operate trains cyclically to improve service quality. However, with too many train ODs and some special trains, e.g. night train, an incomplete cyclic train operation mode is more practical. The ODs which can provide cyclic service for Jing-Hu HSL need to be identified. For the last issue, although non-stop long-distance train is a very popular kind of service in China, it should be reconsidered for Jing-Hu HSL line because of massive intercity travel demand and regular stops required. Each of the above issues is very complex. What is more, they have close relationship between each other. Due to limited space, the methods used to solve these issues are given in conceptual way rather than detailed description of mathematical model. The research paves the way for future integration study to design an efficient, economic, convenient, and regular train service plan for Jing-Hu HSL.

Planning Problems

This study investigated railway line planning optimization models that determine the frequency of trains on each line to satisfy passenger origin–destination demands while minimizing related costs. Most line planning models assume that all trains on the same route run with the same halting pattern. However, to minimize passenger travel time and to provide a train service with faster travel times to as many stations as possible, we must consider various halting patterns; these patterns can be provided in advance or are required to be formulated. Our study addresses two line planning problems that consider halting patterns, describes the computational complexities of each problem, and presents the column generation approach for one model. We also present experimental results obtained for the Korean high-speed railway network.

Bridge Abutment

On the basis of different landform and multifarious topography in rugged mountainous area in southwest China, typical tunnel portals for single track tunnels in a new high speed railway line have been presented in the paper. The portal comprises headwall, shed tunnel, bridge abutment and its support. Portal with headwall is suitable for tunnel to resist front earth pressure on high and abrupt slope. Shed tunnel is placed in front of headwall so as to prevent rockfall; its outward part is built into a flared one. Meanwhile, the installation of bridge and its abutment are also included in the portal according to landform in the paper.
