Analysis of Application Cases of Foreign Re-coupling Marshalling Operation Organization Modes and Implications for Urban Rail Tran-sit Operation Organization in China
[Objective]Against the backdrop of the increas-ingly evident temporal and spatial imbalance of passenger flows in urban rail transit,it is difficult for the existing operation or-ganization mode to adapt to the complex passenger flows.It is thus necessary to explore the operation organization mode of re-coupling marshalling so as to achieve a flexible matching be-tween passenger flows with different characteristics and the transport capacity.[Method]Through literature analysis,the representative German spatio-temporal re-coupling operation mode and the Japanese"Wing Train"operation mode are taken as examples,to analyze the operation organization modes and related technical characteristics of lines such as Berlin S-Bahn,Munich S-Bahn and Yokosuka-Sobu Rapid Line.The charac-teristics and applicability of different re-coupling marshalling operation organization modes are also analyzed.Based on a-bove analysis,reasonable suggestions for the innovation of ur-ban rail transit operation organization mode in China are put forward.[Result & Conclusion]In the process of promotion and implementation of the re-coupling marshalling operation or-ganization mode in China,different operation modes,such as different marshalling forms in different time periods and differ-ent sections,as well as direct operation,routing schemes and re-coupling marshalling combination should be adopted respec-tively,for lines with significant temporal or spatial imbalance of passenger flow,or with complexity in both temporal and spatial passenger flows.The efficient train coupling and un-coupling technology is one of the key technologies for the re-coupling marshalling operation organization mode.Online cou-pling and uncoupling or depot coupling and uncoupling should be carried out according to the actual conditions of the line,to further improve the service level of urban rail transit network.
