Dispatching Scheme for High Speed Passenger Lines in China

The factors influencing the selection of dispatching schemes were analyzed,and three dispatching schemes,namely the centralized scheme,regionally centralized scheme and access-based scheme,for high speed passenger lines to be built in China were proposed based on analyses of the dispatching schemes of the existing conventional railway lines and the Qinhuangdao-Shenyang passenger line in China,and the experiences of high speed railways in foreign countries.One from the three dispatching schemes was chosen as the dispatching scheme.The regionally centralized scheme is preferable to meet the developing and operational demands of high speed passenger lines in the near future.In this scheme,the dispatchers for the passenger lines work cooperatively with those for the existing lines in the same dispatcher's offices of the corresponding railway bureaus.
