Analysis of train and station use efficiency for Shanghai Metro Line 16 with multi mode trains mixed running in different ratio

摘要

The on-building Shanghai Metro Line 16 is a typical regional metro line which connects downtown area and a satellite city located in outer suburb. It is long and has an uneven and ever-changing passenger flow distribution as the city develops. Three kinds of trains including non-stop, part-stop and regular trains have been planned mixed running in it, so the design and efficiency analysis of operation schemes is more complex compared with urban metro lines. In this paper, Train Plan Maker (TPM) has been used as simulation tool to analyze train and station use efficiency problems including train and vehicle use quantities, the optimal takeover station and the use of switchback lanes under the condition of those three kinds of trains mixed running in different ratios. In view of the geography feature and future passenger flow changing trend, the optimal dynamic operation organization graph for this line during different city developing periods have been drawn according to the simulation results.
