Safe Departure Interval of Bullet Trains: Based on Block Section

Abstract:

One of the important ways to improve the transport capacity of China is to reduce time of departure interval, which must be based on the premise that safety is guaranteed. In this paper, based on block section, a safe departure interval (SDI) model is constructed, which focus on technology and management factors in the train operation. Using SDI model, safe departure interval time of Shanghai-Hangzhou railway line is calculated, and sensitivity of some factors are analyzed. The rustles indicate that there is plenty of room for decrease time of departure interval safely.
