Design of single-track rail line for high-speed trains

Petersen, E.R. / Taylor, A.J.

Abstract This paper presents a method for designing a single-track rail line for a reliable high-speed passenger train service. We first consider deterministic train performance and describe a general method for finding the best location and length of the passing tracks. The design is then modified to include slack, which is necessary to ensure on-time performance for trains encountering unexpected delay. An analysis of the robustness of the system to small delays is presented. Robustness to large train delays and slower traffic is incorporated through the provision of additional sidings. Finally, simulation results are presented which compare the performance of a single-track line to a fully double-tracked equivalent.
