Research on the Marshalling Capacity and Linking Scheme of Shenmubei Station

Research purposes: Shenmubei Station is one of the two section stations of Shenmu-Shuozhou Railway which has very important significance and function. The capacity of 10000-ton train combination and decomposition of Shenmubei Station has reached saturation point. The planned Guoshen Railway will link into Shenmubei Station, which will further deteriorate the operating capacity of Shenmubei Station. In this paper, through the theoretical analysis of the combination capacity of Shenmubei station, an innovative engineering scheme is proposed to solve the problem of insufficient operating capacity of the combination decomposition. Research conclusions:(1)This study puts forward the index of reduced station capacity, which provides an innovative way for the analysis of station capacity. (2)The study proposes the scheme of new 10000-ton combined yard with the potential of unlimited increase of station capacity, which can be widely used in engineering practice. (3)The study adds the 10000-ton train combination and decomposition operation function without breaking through approval investment, which reflects engineering innovation led by design scheme in limited conditions. (4)The research results can provide reference for engineering design on similar station reconstruction and capacity expansion. © 2020, Editorial Department of Journal of Railway Engineering Society.
