Because there are some differences in operation management body and investment body between city railway/suburban railway and other modes of transportation of urban rail transit, reasonable coordination and effective connection cant achieve in various modes of transportation of urban rail transit, resulting in not only wasting national limited traffic resource, but also bringing so much inconvenience to the traveling passengers. Under this background, the author proposes the alternative use mode of building integrative urban passenger rail transit system and their definitions. Then, the bi-level programming model of the integrative passenger rail transit line station layout based on the alternative use mode is established. Whats more, the simulated annealing algorithm is used to solve it. Finally, a numerical example shows that the pattern of multi-point stopping under alternative use mode is beneficial to reduce total consumption of passenger agglomeration and shorten the passenger traveling time, at the same time it is more beneficial to ease the urban traffic pressure (especially the city ground traffic).

The increase of urban traffic demands has directly affected some large cities that are now dealing with more serious urban rail transit congestion. In order to ensure the travel efficiency of passengers and improve the service level of urban rail transit, we proposed a multi-line collaborative passenger flow control model for urban rail transit networks. The model constructed here is based on passenger flow characteristics and congestion propagation rules. Considering the passenger demand constraints, as well as section transport and station capacity constraints, a linear programming model is established with the aim of minimizing total delayed time of passengers and minimizing control intensities at each station. The network constructed by Line 2, Line 6 and Line 8 of the Beijing metro is the study case used in this research to analyze control stations, control durations and control intensities. The results show that the number of delayed passengers is significantly reduced and the average flow control ratio is relatively balanced at each station, which indicates that the model can effectively relieve congestion and provide quantitative references for urban rail transit operators to come up with new and more effective passenger flow control measures.

Linear Delay

When passengers are oversaturated in the urban rail transit system and a further increase of train frequency is impossible, passenger flow control strategy is an indispensable approach to avoid congestion and ensure safety. To make the best use of train capacity and reduce the passenger waiting time, coordinative flow control is necessary at each station on a line. In most published studies, the equilibrium of passenger distributions among different stations and periods is not considered. As a result, two issues occur making it hard to implement in practical. First, a large number of passengers are held up outside a small number of stations for very long time. Second, there is a large variation of controlled flows for successive time intervals. To alleviate this problem, a single-line equilibrium passenger flow control model is constructed, which minimizes the total passenger delay. By applying different forms of the delay penalty function (constant and linear), flow control strategies such as independent flow control and equilibrium flow control can be reproduced. An improved simulated annealing algorithm is proposed to solve the model. A numerical case is studied to analyze the sensitivity of the functions, and the best parameter relationship in different functions could be confirmed. A real-world case from Batong Line corridor in Beijing subway is used to test the applicability of the model and algorithm, and the result shows that the solution with linear delay penalty functions can not only reduce the total passenger delay but also equilibrate the number of flow control passengers on spatial and temporal.

Maintenance Decision

The networked operation of Urban Rail Transit (URT) brings the new challenge of network-wide maintenance. This research focuses on the URT Network-Wide Maintenance Decision-Making Problem (URT-NMDP), including regionalized maintenance network design and maintenance resource allocation. In this work, we proposed a bi-objective integer programming model that integrates the characteristics of set coverage and P-median models, resulting in the regionalized maintenance network design model. Some critical factors are considered in the model, such as the importance of node, the maximum failure response time, and maintenance guarantee rules. We designed a NSGA-II based algorithm to solve the model. Moreover, due to the uncertainty of failures in the URT network, we developed the method of allocating maintenance resources based on Monte Carlo simulation to strengthen the reliability of the regionalized maintenance network. With the model and algorithm presented in this work, we obtained Pareto optimal solutions of URT-NMDP, i.e., URT network-wide maintenance planning schemes, which include the number and location of maintenance points, the allocation of demand points, and the amount of maintenance units. Finally, a real-world case is studied to evaluate the operating performance of these schemes for verifying the method in our paper. The results of the case study demonstrate that the reasonable and tested-in-practice maximum failure response time is the precondition for the efficient URT maintenance network. The maintenance scheme considered the weighted importance of node shows the optimal performance, with the shortest overall maintenance path and the minimum average failure response time and investment cost on maintenance resources.

In the 21st century, the over dependence on cars in China’s urban development has led to a series of problems, which have seriously affected the development of contemporary cities. The problem of communication has become the bottleneck of the development of many cities in China. Therefore, the rise of urban rail transit is an inevitable trend. The construction and development of rail transit is an effective way to solve urban diseases, such as traffic congestion, traffic pollution, poor green travel environment and difficult parking. In the period of great development opportunity of rail transit, it is necessary to discuss how to scientifically plan urban rail transit system, promote urban intensive development and improve urban traffic conditions. Combined with the current situation of rapid development of urban rail transit in China, this article analyzes the main problems existing in the development of urban rail transit at present, and puts forward the guiding ideology and main countermeasures for the development of urban rail transit in the future: do what you can and develop steadily to effectively avoid the hidden dangers brought about by blind development; further strengthen the scientific nature of urban rail transit planning and maintain the seriousness of planning; further improve the investment and financing mode of urban rail transit. Some suggestions are also put forward for the key problems to be solved in the near future.

As the major distributing center and intermediate transit point, the scale of transfer station in urban rail transit system directly affects the operational efficiency and overall cost of the entire system. So, accurately controlling the scale of transfer station becomes one of the most important aspects in improving service level and reducing the overall project cost. On the basis of summarizing the method on determining the scale of transfer station both home and abroad, the paper describes the role of the various facilities in rail transfer station, and illustrates the problems of our rail transfer station. Following the above discussion and investigation, the sizes of typical transfer station facilities are discussed and improved (e.g. vertical elevator). Taking the Longjiang Street station example, the proposed methods and models are verified and the analysis result shows that this transfer station should be cross platform interchange mode.
