Abstract
Train scheduling is nowadays regarded as one of the effective ways to improve user's benefit on commuter railways with heavy congestion in highly populated metropolitan region. In this study, many model cases varing either demand pattern and its level or train schedule pattern are analized to find the feature of the desirable train schedule, using user equilibrium theory in network assignment. Then some practical formulas to evaluate user's benefit are derived from the upper mentioned analysis, and their adaptability is verified in the situation of real railway lines. Finaly, the formulas are practically applied to the existing lines to compare train schedule at present with several proposed alternatives.
