Abstract:
Objective Through optimized design, the effective track length at suburban railway stations is shortened, achieving the goal of reducing the station yard scale, downsizing land occupation, and lowering construction costs.
Method The components of the effective track length for suburban railways are analyzed. Based on the protection distance characteristics of CTCS (Chinese Train Control System), an optimized layout scheme for siding track circuit is introduced.
Result & Conclusion Through the optimized design scheme, the goal of shortening the effective track length has been achieved. The effective length of through tracks can be shortened to 321 m, and the effective length of dead-end tracks to 291 m.
