Abstract:
Objective: To achieve the goals of inheriting and maintaining the advantages of networking interoperation, fully utilizing resources such as routes and vehicles, comprehensively satisfying the multi-directional passenger demands, and addressing the issues of space occupation and landscape impact caused by elevated line interchange and interoperation line setting, a level crossing interoperability implementation plan for elevated lines is comprehensively constructed from aspects such as auxiliary lines, turnouts, operational routing, station layout, and station stopping schemes through analyzing factors that affect the interoperability of guideway rubber-tyred system elevated lines. Method: For different interoperation line settings and station stopping schemes, the operational process for level crossing interoperability is distinctly proposed, and capacity calculations for interoperability in typical cases are conducted. Based on the calculation results, different station stopping scheme recommendations are given for different interoperability requirements: when one-quadrant two-way interoperability is designed for two lines, it is recommended to use the scheme of parking at platforms both before and after intersection; when diagonal two-quadrant four-way interoperability is designed for two lines, parking only at the platform before intersection has advantages in capacity and speed guarantees. Result & Conclusion: Finally, through the formulation of level crossing interoperability implementation plan and checking calculation of capacity, the feasibility of level crossing interoperability implementation on guideway rubber-tyred system elevated lines is verified, providing theoretical support and technical guarantee for the interoperability design and operation in subsequent practical engineering.
