HSR is a capital-intensive infrastructure, in which multiple subsystems are closely integrated. Also, HSR operation lasts for a long period, and its performance indicators are continuously altered by incremental updates. -

Introduction The reason for the hub-and-spoke architecture is to achieve economies of density in track usage and network effects at the High-speed rail lines have been built and proposed in numer- hub city which enable frequent service to multiple destinations. ous countries throughout the world. The advantages of such lines Multiple paths between origins and destinations would diffuse are a higher quality of service than competing modes (air, bus, the network effects and result in less frequent service, and therefore auto, conventional rail), potentially faster point-to-point times reduce demand. The hub-and-spoke architecture, while benefitting depending on specific locations, faster loading and unloading the network as a whole when demand is insufficient to enable times, higher safety than some modes, and lower labor costs. frequent point-to-point service, clearly serves the hub cities the The disadvantage primarily lies in higher fixed costs, potentially most, as they gain from all the incoming flows which create addi- higher energy costs than some competing modes, and higher noise tional demand, and thus greater service. -
