In urban mixed traffic zones, urban rail-bound transport interacts with
road traffic, which includes motorized road traffic as well as
non-motorized road traffic. The quality of operation and the capacity of
urban rail-bound transport are heavily influenced by the road traffic in
urban mixed traffic zones. Capacity research is one of the most
important methods for the validation of timetables on an existing or
planned infrastructure, for adequate railway capacity design of the
infrastructure, as well as the performance evaluation for railway
operation. For the urban mixed traffic zones, two developed approaches
in this research can be used to carry out capacity research with
consideration of the road traffic influences on urban rail-bound
transport. As a result of the stochastic influences of road traffic on
urban rail-bound transport, the waiting time function will be adapted to
mixed traffic conditions, which can derive the recommended area of
traffic flow for the situation of urban mixed traffic more plausibly. In
addition, an algorithm for modeling an event-driven system is developed
for preliminary determining the results of capacity research.
Accordingly, the operating performance for urban rail-bound transport
with road traffic influences can be determined and evaluated.
