Invited Paper High-speed, high-density train allocation S. Sone Department of Electrical Engineering, The University of Tokyo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113, Japan ABSTRACT In order to realise higher capacity and shorter passengers' time with restricted track capacity, new systematic methods of making and evaluating many good new train stopping patterns have been discussed. This paper includes three major proposals; (1) a new trains' loci chart has been established, whose time axis is taken as normalised time difference between stopping and passing trains, the expression of which is more easily understandable for us and more easily treatable for a computer than ordinary expression, (2) performance of zonal separation train scheduling, which is known most suitable for typical commuter lines connecting city centre and suburban area, has been improved by selective additional stops, and (3) a method of finding the best stopping pattern out of all possible patterns which are made sy
