Transport plans are essential to highly reliable and user-oriented railway services. In actual operation, plans may have to be changed dynamically when traffic is disrupted due to congestion, natural disaster and so on. In order to prepare suitable plans, having an evaluation method is important. This paper outlines recent research and development of transport planning evaluation methods. It describes results from the research and development of evaluation methods for basic transport plans, time tables and measures applicable to traffic operation. Finally, it describes the prospect of applying multi-data analysis and a new train control system based on radio communication, to transport planning.
