Theoretical Determination of Stopping Patterns For High Density Guided Transportation Systems

基本目标变量的评价列车调度图已被定义和以下两个新的图表已被开发作为研究项目的第一步：“损失时间图”，它表示额外的时间，以标准列车所需的时间，和“二进制图”，这是适合于计算机处理的量化损失时间每站。对常规列车运行图进行了分析和分类，并对各种模式的适用性进行了评价。结果得到了停站服务、快慢车并用及其改进、区间直达服务、直达服务和跳站服务五种模式的特性及其与交通需求的匹配关系。在此基础上，针对需要直达服务的地区，增加了第六种模式，作为一种严格定义的停靠模式研究，提出了一种系统的方法，为大运量的客运专线提供直达服务 ...更多信息 IC需求直接来自O-D数据。应用于东海新干线，该方法已被评价为有用的。然后，我们分析了分区直达服务的问题，这是不多的应用，尽管它的属性适用于通勤线路。本文对交通需求较小的区间服务模式进行了改进，使之更适用于交通需求较小的区间服务模式，并从理论上研究了各O-D对不能始终得到服务的跳停情况，并找到了特定约束条件下的最优服务模式，进一步研究了该算法扩展应用于双重服务的可能性。四重轨道区段的轨道线和快车线。在具有挑战性的研究部分，我们已经追求的可能性，以减少旅行时间，通过消除中间站大幅在以下新的运营理念：一个自动化的导轨超大规模交通与车辆编组运营，分离和耦合列车运行与软耦合技术。预计将对这两种运营概念进行进一步研究，因为从乘客的角度来看，这些运营可以提供更少的中间站和换乘的良好服务，以及从运营商的角度来看，具有更高平均速度的经济效率的服务。少

Fundamental objective variables for evaluating a train scheduling diagram has been defined and the following two new diagrams have been developed as the first steps of the research project : The "loss time diagram", which represents additional time to the time required by the standard train, and "binary diagram", which is suitable for computer processing by quantising loss time per stop. We have analyzed and classified conventional train diagrams into typical patterns and evaluated each applicability. As a result, we have obtained the properties and the matching to traffic demand of the following five patterns : diagrams of stopping service, of combined fast and slow trains and its modifications, of zonal direct service, of direct service, and of skip stop service. We have added the sixth pattern to these suitable for a region where the direct service is needed.As a research of stopping patterns defined strictly, a systematic methodology to supplying the direct service to a large traff … More ic demand derived directly from O-D data. Applied to the Tokaido-Shinkansen line, the methodology has been evaluated useful. We have then analyzed the problems of the zonal direct service, which is not much applied in spite of its properties suitable for commuter lines. We have improved the service pattern between zones apart from each other, where traffic demands are relatively small, so that the modified pattern may be much more applicable.The skip-stop cases, in which each O-D pair can not always be served, have been theoretically studied, and the optimal service pattern under specific constraints have been found.We have furthermore studied the possibility of extended application of the algorithm to double-track lines and express lines on quadruple track section. Some excellent solutions on actual lines have been then presented.In challenging research parts, we have pursued possibility to reduce travel time by eliminating intermediate stops drastically in the following novel operation concepts : an automated guideway super-mass transit with grouped vehicle operations, and separating and coupling train operation with a soft coupling technique. Further studies of these two operation concepts are expected, since these operations enable good services with much fewer intermediate stops and transfers from passengers' point of view, as well as services efficient economically with higher average speed from operators' viewpoints.
