Stop Scheme of Passenger Dedicated Line

On passenger dedicated lines (PDL), train stop scheme is a very important influencing factor to line through capacity. Organizing train stop scheme well can not only improve the carrying capacity, but also can improve the passenger service quality. First, this paper analyzes the stop scheme types of the general PDL and briefly introduces the advantages and disadvantages of various types. Then this paper takes the interests of the operating companies and passengers into account. In view of the least trains needed for companies and the best traveling time for passengers, this paper makes sure of reasonable stop frequency and stop time interval. Finally, while satisfying some service quality requirements, this paper establishes stop scheme of multi-objective programming mode and transfers multi-objective linear programming problem into the single-objective linear programming problem by the linear weighting method. In the study, this paper supposes that a PDL has n stations. 85% of the train stops at 4 ~ 6 stations, and 15% of the trains are non-stop trains.
