A study on the resistance force and the aerodynamic drag of Korean high-speed trains

The resistance force as well as the aerodynamic drag of Korean high-speed trains including two commercial trains, the KTX and the KTX-Sancheon (KTX-II) and two experimental trains, the HSR-350X and the HEMU-430X have been studied comprehensively. To deduce the aerodynamic drag of the trains, the coefficients of the Davis equation, which is a universal formulation to represent the resistance to motion of the train, have been calculated using the coasting test method and analysed in comparison with those by empirical prediction methods. In case of HEMU-430X train, the equations of resistance to motion have been calculated by an alternative regression method that is established in this study. The results show that the suggested method can successively yield the resistance to motion equation from the coasting test measurements with varying air density by separating the aerodynamic drag from the total resistance of train. It also prevents from improper coefficients which are occasionally taken by normal regression method in irregular coasting condition. After yielding the aerodynamic drag of the trains from the resistance to motion equations, characteristics of the aerodynamic drag have been analysed and compared between the trains.     

基于旅客选择行为的高速铁路平行车次定价策略

考虑运行在同一OD上的高速铁路平行车次,现行高铁票价固定,即不能反应平行车次间的差异化,也无法与旅客需求状况相适应,最终造成平行车次间上座率的失衡和收入的损失.鉴于此,本文借鉴多产品定价的思想,利用MNL模型来描述旅客购票过程的选择行为,并以平行车次的整体收入最大化为目标提出了3种定价策略.最后以京沪高铁为案例背景,对旅客购票过程的最优票价路径及3种定价策略的效率进行了分析.结果表明,3种定价策略均能有效提高售票收入,且差别动态定价策略表现最优.本文研究内容为高速铁路平行车次的定价决策提供了科学依据.     

利用正线夜间停放客车提高运营效率的可行性

如果一条线路只有一座车辆段,并设在靠近线路的端部时,必须使线路两端终点站的运营服务时间基本接近。非运营时间客车全部停放在车辆段的传统做法,使运营时间利用率低、运营与夜间维修和施工时间的矛盾日渐突出。通过对利用正线非运营时间停放过夜客车来提高运营效率的可行性研究,结合广州地铁1、2号线的现状分析,提出解决方案,可减少列车空走和司机劳动强度,提高服务水平,有效地提高正线运营效率。
