Dispatching Scheme for High Speed Passenger Lines in China

PENG Qiyuan, WEN Chao, LUO Jian

2006, 19(5): 541-548.

[Abstract](1430)

Abstract:
The factors influencing the selection of dispatching schemes were analyzed,and three dispatching schemes,namely the centralized scheme,regionally centralized scheme and access-based scheme,for high speed passenger lines to be built in China were proposed based on analyses of the dispatching schemes of the existing conventional railway lines and the Qinhuangdao-Shenyang passenger line in China,and the experiences of high speed railways in foreign countries.One from the three dispatching schemes was chosen as the dispatching scheme.The regionally centralized scheme is preferable to meet the developing and operational demands of high speed passenger lines in the near future.In this scheme,the dispatchers for the passenger lines work cooperatively with those for the existing lines in the same dispatcher’s offices of the corresponding railway bureaus.

LUO Xia, LI Degang, GAO Shilian

2006, 19(5): 554-559.

[Abstract](1481)

Abstract:
From the trip characteristics of intersectional traffic and the adaptability of transportation modes,the mode compartmentalization and the route assignment model of traditional intersectional traffic were analyzed.On the basis of analyzing the passengers’ profit of intersectional trip,the comprehensive "route-mode" disposal measure of intersectional passenger sharing rate was proposed,and a comprehensive "route-mode" sharing model was established to intersectional passenger transportation.The correlative parameter in this model,the time and expense evaluations of each transportation mode were analyzed and demarcated.This model can be adapted to the conditions that the discrepancy between the cost time difference for transportation modes in an OD zone and the cost time difference from each part in a city to its entrances is not very great (about 1 to 3 times) and sedans,as main trip vehicles,have popularized.Finally,the feasibility of the model has been validated by taking the Shanghai-Hangzhou area as an example.

2006, 19(5): 567-570.

[Abstract](1284)

Abstract:
It was proved that a risk neutral distributor in a supply chain can intermediate the risk faced by retailers.To reduce the risk of retailers and increase the profit of the supply chain,the distributor offers a menu of mutually beneficial contracts to retailers.Each risk averse retailer can get a satisfactory contract from the menu and will raise the order quantity to get a maximum expected benefit,which in turn maximizes the distributor’s expected profit.

ZENG Mingkai, HUANG Jian, PENG Qiyuan

2006, 19(5): 571-574.

[Abstract](2326)

Abstract:
Assignment,as the basis of passenger train plans,must be studied in order to make a reasonable passenger train plan.Main factors having an effect on assignment models were analyzed by considering passenger traveling demand and satisfaction.A train travel network was constructed based on traveling paths and stop stations of trains.By taking traveling psychology into account,passengers’ satisfaction was investigated according to their traveling time and cost.A multi-objective linear model for assignment,reflecting the passenger initiative to choose different trains,was established. Based on the investigation of main factors influencing assignment,the method of assignment was presented.

LIU Lan, WEI Deyong, YIN Yuan, WEI Fanghua

2006, 19(5): 575-581.

[Abstract](1531)

Abstract:
The parameters,such as braking ratio,braking distance,operation time and so on,and a formula for calculating minimum headways were presented.The signaling and operations of high-speed passenger trains depend on the braking stage design and relative equipment configuration to fulfill a complete braking process.The speed-interval control of high-speed trains adopts the one-step braking curve mode,and multi-step braking curve is as a standby mode.The key to reduce the headway on a line is to cut down the headways of arrival trains at stations in the same direction.For passenger trains at a speed of 250 km/h and over,the headway of 3 min can be realized with the one-step braking curve mode plus deceleration in advance.In the mixed operations of passenger and freight trains,the headway of 5 min can be realized when the braking ratio is 0.8,and the effective length of arrival and departure track and the throat length are no longer than 1200 m and 800 m,respectively,for a freight train at a speed of 120 km/h;and the headway of 4 min can also be achieved when the braking ratio is 0.6 for a high-speed passenger train at a speed of 200 km/h.

LI Zongping, JIANG Sai

2006, 19(5): 594-598.

[Abstract](1534)

Abstract:
Client grouping based on distribution period was classified by taking the optimal distribution dates for individual clients as the criterion,and that based on distribution distance was classified by taking the closeness between clients as the criterion.To clarify the influence of client grouping on distribution schemes,a set of three simulated clients that evenly distribute in 50,100 and (200 m2) zones were studied.The two grouping schemes,which are based on distribution period and distance,respectively,and the total costs were determined.The results show that client grouping based on distribution period or that based on distribution distance is preferable when clients distribute densely or sparsely,respectively.

LI Yinghong, YAN Haifeng, PENG Qiyuan

2006, 19(5): 608-613.

[Abstract](1585)

Abstract:
The transit operation of containers in junction railway stations was analyzed.Three schemes for container transport within a railway terminal were proposed.In scheme Ⅰ,containers are fed into a junction railway stations in ordinary container trains.In scheme Ⅱ,container trains are remade-up after hauled into a junction station in pickup and drop trains,and the remade-up trains are delivered to a marshalling station in transfer trains.In scheme Ⅲ,container trains are remade-up after hauled into a marshalling station in pickup and drop trains,and then the remade-up trains are delivered in transfer trains to a junction station.A model was proposed to compare the transportation costs of the three schemes.The result shows that scheme Ⅰ costs the least,and is the most efficient.But it is difficult for it to be implemented practically in the near future in China.Alternatively,scheme Ⅱ and Ⅲ are suggested as transitional schemes at initial stages of development of container junction stations,and scheme Ⅰ as a candidate for future application.

2006, 19(5): 614-619.

[Abstract](1613)

Abstract:
To design an appropriate integrated logistics network structure for a hybrid manufacturing/remanufacturing system,a robust optimization model was established by considering the integration of facilities and the transportation of forward and reverse logistics in the network as well as the uncertainty of the demand for new and remanufactured products,the returnable quantities and the remanu-facturable fraction of used products.As a result,the number of various facilities,their locations and the reasonable allocation of the corresponding goods flows within the network can be determined.The case results show that the optimal design of an integrated logistics network for hybrid manufacturing/remanufacturing systems under uncertainty can be solved effectively with this model.

YAN Haifeng

2006, 19(5): 620-625.

[Abstract](1527)

Abstract:
To calculate the accumulation cost of a BCT (block container train),the theory of stochastic process was used to study the number containers of a BCT,as well as the number of arrival containers and arrival intervals in accumulation processes.Parameter estimation for arriving intensity was discussed.It was found that whether containers are loaded or empty has little effect on the number of BCT; the arrival of containers can be described as a simple counting process,and the arrival interval follows the Poisson distribution.Therefore,the accumulation process of a BCT can be described as a typical mark value counting process.The average accumulation cost is positively proportional to the number of container in a BCT and the sum of arrival containers in the period of time concerned,and linearly correlated to the expectation value of the number of arrival containers.

2006, 19(5): 645-648.

[Abstract](1579)

Abstract:
To simplify the problem of improving road network reliability with limited resources,only critical links,which are chosen by travelers with higher probabilities than a prescribed threshold,were selected.Because stochastic user equilibrium with elastic demand is used to characterize the travelers’ route choice behaviors before and after incidents (e.g.,earthquakes,floods,hurricanes,etc.),the link choice probabilities can be computed in an efficient link-based manner,and the critical links can be easily determined.A mathematical model was presented,in which the highest reliability corresponding to net economic benefit was taken as the objective for the road network subject to a resource constraint.A heuristic algorithm for the model was designed.The results of a numerical example were presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
