| Summary | Since land resources in Taiwan are quite limited, and rail transportation is more efficient, and has less environmental impact, the government’s transportation policy has focused on railways in place of highways over recent years. However, the construction of railway systems requires enormous capital expenditure. Thus, the impact on rail capacity for a new proposed or an improved railway project will need to be investigated so that the investment is appropriate. In consideration of this, the Institute of Transportation (IOT) has been undertaking a four-year project – “Capacity Analysis of Rail Transportation Systems and Its Applications” since 2006. In this year, the study collects train operating datum from TRA to analyze reliability, and develops the reliability regression model, simulation model, and software. Moreover, the study reviews literatures on capacity models for urban transit systems and considers different space reference points including intermediate stations, turnbacks, and junctions to develop analytic models for estimating operation headways. |
