Conventional locomotive and passenger car servicing facilities are typically arranged in decentralized manner,leading to high operational volumes in station throat areas and inefficient utilization of land resources.With ongoing urbanization and the increasing prevalence of centralized power multiple units,there is a growing trend towards centralized servicing setups.This paper analyzed commonalities in the servicing processes and tasks for railway locomotives,passenger cars,and centralized power multiple units,and explored the feasibility of shared servicing facilities,to promote deep integration of production and servicing of rolling stock.Based on the operational mode of locomotives towing passenger cars into depots,four distinct overall layout schemes for rolling stock servicing bases were examined,comparing their workflow and application scenarios.With Chengdu Shiling South Rolling Stock Servicing Base as a case for study,a novel adaptable layout plan incorporating vehicle transversers is presented,accompanied by an assessment of entry/exit capacity.Ultimately,standards for the integrated setup of servicing facilities catering to locomotives,passenger cars,and centralized power multiple units are derived.
