Abstract

Train headway is very important for the operation efficiency and safety of high-speed railway. With the demand of high-speed train headway calculation and simulation, based on the principle of traction effort calculation and the control in train operation system, train headway calculation and simulation system for high-speed railway was designed. For the system, some key issues were discussed such as automatic train traction effort calculation, train headway calculation and simulation method. With this system, it will be benefit for signal-block layout and train operation optimization.
