Automatic fare collection (AFC) systems have been widely used all around the world which record rich data resources for researchers mining the passenger behavior and operation estimation. However, most transit systems are open systems for which only boarding information is recorded but the alighting information is missing. Because of the lack of trip information, validation of utility functions for passenger choices is difficult. To fill the research gaps, this study uses the AFC data from Beijing metro, which is a closed system and records both boarding information and alighting information. To estimate a more reasonable utility function for choice modeling, the study uses the trip chaining method to infer the actual destination of the trip. Based on the land use and passenger flow pattern, applying k-means clustering method, stations are classified into 7 categories.

  • Evaluating Line Capacity with an Analytical UIC Code 406 Compression Method and Blocking Time Stairway
    energies Article Evaluating Line Capacity with an Analytical UIC Code 406 Compression Method and Blocking Time Stairway Ruxin Wang, Lei Nie and Yuyan Tan * School of Traffic and Transportation, Beijing Jiaotong University, Beijing 100044, China; [email protected] (R.W.); [email protected] (L.N.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 17 January 2020; Accepted: 6 April 2020; Published: 10 April 2020 Abstract: Railways around the world are experiencing growth in traffic flow, but the problem concerning how to optimize the utilization of capacity is still demands significant research. To accommodate the increasing traffic demand, the high-speed railway operator in China is interested in understanding the potential benefit of adopting reasonable headway to balance the safety and efficiency of train operations. In this study, a compress timetable scheduling model based on the UIC Code 406 method is presented to evaluate the line capacity. In this model, train headway is not pre-fixed as in the existing research, but considers the actual operating conditions and is calculated using actual running data. The results of the case study show that refined headway calculations generally have positive capacity effects. Keywords: high-speed railway capacity; train headway; blocking time theory; UIC Code 406 1. Introduction The China high-speed railway has made remarkable achievements after operations. However, with the rapid development of economy and society, the China high-speed railway is facing a big problem of capacity shortage. The railway operator in China, the National Railway Administration of People’s Republic of China (CR), has found good ways to increase its system capacity.

The effective use of regenerative braking energy is the mainstream method for improving the efficiency of energy saving. This paper examines the optimization of train dwell time and builds a multiple train operation model for energy conservation of a power supply system. By changing the dwell time, the braking energy can be absorbed and utilized by other traction trains as efficiently as possible. The application of genetic algorithms is proposed for the optimization, based on the current schedule. Next, to validate the correctness and effectiveness of the optimization, a real case is studied. Actual data from the Beijing subway Yizhuang Line are employed to perform the simulation, and the results indicate that the optimization method of the dwell time is effective.

  • Coordinated Train Control in a Fully Automatic Operation System for Reducing Energy Consumption
    Computers in Railways XIII 3 Coordinated train control in a fully automatic operation system for reducing energy consumption J. Xun1, X. Yang1, B. Ning1, T. Tang1 & W. Wang2 1The State Key Laboratory of Rail Traffic Control and Safety, Beijing Jiaotong University, Beijing 2National Engineering Research Center of Rail Transportation Operation and Control System, Beijing Jiaotong University, Beijing Abstract Energy efficient train operation includes four levels for energy saving: energy efficient driving, real-time multi-train coordination and rescheduling, energy- saving timetabling, and energy-saving planning. For a fully automatic operation system, it provides a flexible way to coordinate trains. The coordination of trains can improve some system performances, such as the efficient use of regenerative energy. The efficient use of energy regenerated by other trains which are during braking phase can contribute to reducing energy consumption. In general, the approaches of coordinated train control for using regenerative energy can be divided into two types: train dwell time control and train running time control. This paper proposes an approach for coordinating trains in fully automatic operation system by modifying running time between adjacent stations. Simulation studies are performed and the usage of regenerative energy and average passenger waiting time is analysed by using the proposed method. It is shown that improvements in the usage of regenerative energy can be achieved by using the proposed method.

  • An Integrated Platform for Energy-Saving Operation in Urban Rail Transit
    Computers in Railways XIV Special Contributions 139 An integrated platform for energy-saving operation in urban rail transit X. M. Song1, J. Xun1, B. Ning1, T. Tang1 & B. Wang2 1The State Key Laboratory of Rail Traffic Control and Safety, Beijing Jiaotong University, Beijing 2School of Electrical Engineering, Beijing Jiaotong University, Beijing Abstract As regenerative braking technology is widely used in urban rail transit system, there is an interest to find an optimization method for energy-saving train operation based on the information from traction power supply. To study such method, this paper introduces an integrated hardware-in-loop simulation platform, which has a model integrating train operation control and traction power supply. In this model, the train operation optimal control model provides train operation information for a traction power supply model, and the traction power supply model generates data of voltage and current based on the characteristics of traction power supply, which is needed by the train operation optimal strategy. Based on the model, an energy-saving optimal algorithm for train control is proposed. The algorithm adds third-rail voltage into inputs. When the third-rail voltage rises, the algorithm will judge whether nearby trains under control of the same substation meet the conditions to accelerate and will adjust train operation mode (accelerate) if possible to realize the maximum utilization of regenerative braking energy. In order to ensure schedule adherence, the proposed model adjusts running time in the next inter-station. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method are verified on the integrated hardware-in-loop simulation platform based on field test of Yizhuang line, Beijing Subway.
