Abstract

Line capacity of railways is a core criterion to decide maximum trips in accordance with traffic demand and a priority in railway investment to improve transportation capability. Particularly, because two operators will start revenue services in the HSR from mid-2016, the line capacity should be carefully calculated and controlled to avoid conflicts between the maximum number of KTXs, and the number needed to guarantee the effective competition of the operators. Meanwhile, there have been many arguments about calculating the line capacity, because this number is affected by the number of trips by train types, stopping pattern and dwell time in each station, journey time, crossing or passing, safety headway between trains, etc. To deal successfully with these kinds of problems, this study proposes a simulation method to calculate the line capacity that considers train operation according to the operator's service policies.

선로용량은 수요에 부합되는 최대열차횟수를 결정하고 수송력 증대에 필요한 투자우선순위 판단을 위한 중요한 척도이다. 특히 2016년 중반부터 고속철도노선에 두 철도운영자가 운송사업을 개시함에 따라 선로용량과 실제배정 가능한 최대열차횟수 간에 상충이 발생하지 않고 유효운송경쟁이 보증될 수 있도록 선로용량을 산정 관리할 필요성이 있다. 열차종별 운행횟수, 도중정차패턴과 착발시각, 운행시간, 열차의 대피 또는 교행, 열차간의 안전시격 등에 따라 선로용량이 크게 달라지므로 현재까지도 실제 적용에 많은 논쟁이 있는 것도 사실이다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하고자 철도운영자의 운송정책을 고려한 열차운행 스케쥴을 반영할 수 있는 시뮬레이션 기법에 의한 선로용량 산정방법을 제시하고자 한다.
