Abstract
After the advanced train control systems (e.g. ATP, ATC) have been introduced in Chinese railway, how to determine the maximum operating speeds matched between passenger and freight trains and relative coefficients, theoretically and practically instead of by rough estimate, becomes very important for the mixed operations in China. This paper expounds the quantitative relation among the major coefficients of speed deceleration process, such as the maximum operating speed, the stage numbers divided, and the corresponding speed. And based on it, this paper models the calculation of the optimal matching speed of passenger and freight trains with various stage-control methods in mixed operations, presents a algorithm for the solution and justifies it with a practical example.
