Summary In recent years, the government’s transportation policy is focused on railways in place of highways, due to their high efficiency, low pollution, and lower impact on the environment. It is appropriate to promote railway systems in Taiwan due to the high population and limited land resources. Regardless of the above advantages, the construction of railway systems requires an enormous capital expenditure. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the impact on rail capacity for a newly-built or an improved railway project to maximize the benefit of the investment.
  This year is the last of the four-year research project “Capacity Analysis of the Rail Transportation System and Its Applications”. The focus is to develop an analytical model and software for urban rapid transit systems. In addition, this study compiled the part, “Urban Rail Transit System” of the Rail Capacity Manual. Finally, the research results of the whole project were published.
