Urban railway transport that connects suburbs and city areas is characterized by uneven temporal and spatial distribution in terms of passenger flow and underutilized carrying capacity. This paper aims to develop methodologies to measure the carrying capacity of the urban railway by introducing a concept of the express-slow mode. We first explore factors influencing the carrying capacity under the express-slow mode and the interactive relationships among these factors. Then we establish seven different scenarios to measure the carrying capacity by considering the ratio of the number of the express trains and the slow trains, the station where overtaking takes place, and the number of overtaking maneuvers. Taking Shanghai Metro Line 16 as an empirical study, the proposed methods to measure the carrying capacity under different express-slow mode are proved to be valid. This paper contributes to the literature by remodifying the traditional methods to measure the carrying capacity when different express-slow modes are applied to improve the carrying capacity of the suburban railway.

The features of management of domestic railway transport at different stages of its development have been disclosed. The main principles and conditions of structural reform in the industry have been formulated. The main models of management of the railway complex, principles and features of the organization of suburban railway communication in different countries have been characterized. Statistical data on suburban rail transport on the infrastructure of JSC «Russian Railways», confirming their importance and significance for the Russian Federation, have been adduced. The economic results of the activity of domestic suburban passenger companies have been considered. The shortcomings of the existing methodology for assessing the financial condition of suburban passenger companies have been indicated. The proposals to improve the current methods of calculations taking into account the conditions of prospective development of companies have been given. The scheme of scientific and methodical approach to the analysis of economic condition of the suburban passenger companies, including set of procedures of calculated and analytical character, has been offered.

<p>Mumbai Metro line 2A is part of the major Infrastructure overhaul being carried out in Mumbai under Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA). This line is planned from Dahisar in the northern boundary of the suburban city to Andheri in the heart of the suburbs. The overall length of the elevated corridor is about 20,6km with 17 stations, each of 185m length. The proposed metro line shall provide interconnectivity among the existing Western Express Highway, Western Railway, other existing and proposed metro lines. It is expected to reduce the traffic on highly congested suburban road network as well as the Western Express Highway. It is also expected to reduce the passenger load on the western line of the suburban railway network. This paper presents the various aspects of planning, design and construction considered for this project keeping in view its complexity with respect to location, space and time constraints.</p>
