Study on train headway in different turning-back mode of urban mass transit station

The train headway is key parameter in operation organization of urban mass transit, related to service quality and operation efficiency of the transportation enterprise. This paper studies how the headway is influenced by different turning-back mode, the different calculating method for the corresponding train headway time is deduced accordingly and verified with practical example. Optimization solution for civil work design of turning-back station is given to improve operation efficiency.
