Abstract
Provided is a calculation method of line carrying capacity of regional rapid rail transit under mixed operation of express/local trains. Based on the theory of calculating the line carrying capacity by analytical method and direct calculation method, a framework and ideas for calculating the line carrying capacity including two modes of a following operation mode and an overtaking operation mode are established. Taking the train stop interval time, additional time for starting and stopping, following interval time, express and local train numbers, an express/local train overtaking operation mode, overtaking station number, overtaking station position and other factors that affect the line carrying capacity as input, the line carrying capacity of the two modes is deduced and calculated respectively under the conditions of stopping the express train and not stopping the express train at the intermediate station.
