Calculation Method for Gross Traffic Tonnage of Railway Line
The gross traffic tonnage of railway line is a landmark indicator for carrying out periodic maintenance of the line.This paper elaborates on the concept and function of the gross traffic tonnage of railway line,analyzes the existing calculation methods,and summarizes the shortcomings of these methods,including low accuracy,incomplete data sources,and insufficient coverage.In order to improve the calculation methods,by exploring the relevant data in train dispatching command system,centralized traffic control system,railway passenger car statistics system,railway freight train marshalling statistics information system and track engineering equipment management system,this paper proposes a new calculation method that takes the train track occupation and train weight information as the data source to calculate the gross traffic tonnage of station tracks and infer the gross traffic tonnage of sections and turnouts.The feasibility of the new calculation method is verified by trial calculation on Doudian-Xushui Section of Beijing-Guangzhou Railway.The new calculation method overcomes the shortcomings of the old calculation methods and provides stronger support for the refined management of track engineering equipment.In order to realize wider application of the new calculation method,relevant suggestions for its further development have been proposed.
