Exploration of Night Train Plans and Window Setting for High-Speed Railways

Abstract

Night train is a form of adapting to development of high-speed railway and passenger transport demand in China. High-speed rail train operation at night exist such as waiting for line, transferring line and “a line of maintenance, a line of traffic” three modes, corresponding respectively the way of two line totally closed maintenance and one line closed maintenance. Through comparative analysis, it can be found that high-speed rail window setting should adopt fully closed mode. Based on summary analysis of traditional rectangular window feature, this paper proposes the set form of two-day segmenting rectangle window, and it can effectively avoid the disadvantages of traditional segmenting rectangle window. Finally, taking the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway as an example, the paper analyzes the set of two-day segmenting rectangle window.
