Optimal Allocation of High-Speed Railway Mobile Equipment Based on the Passenger Flow

Abstract:

Based on the relationship between passenger flow and demand of electric multiple units (EMU), a new methodology to calculate the EMU demand and allocate the EMU is proposed, which can meet the demand of passenger as well as avoid the waste of transport capacity. An offline allocation plan of EMU is designed by analyzing the fluctuation in passenger flow, passenger average haul distance, passenger load factor and so on. Using the methodology, the EMU allocation problem is solved through program, which is used in Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway to obtain the EMU allocation plan.
