Research purposes:With the Chongqing - Guiyang,Chengdu - Kunming,Changsha - Kunming and Guiyang - Kaiyang railway lines accessing into the Guiyang hub as well as the northwest and northwest loop lines of the Guiyang hub open to traffic,the general pattern of the Guiyang hub has to be adjusted. The Guiyang East Station is the station where the railway lines accessing into. How to choose the station type of the Guiyang East Station is crucial to the planning design of the Guiyang East Station in order to give the full play to the station function,optimize the route of passenger train and save the construction cost as much as possible. This paper intends to determine the reasonable and economic station type of the Guiyang East Station through comparing various station types.
Research conclusions:From the research on the schemes of the station types of the Guiyang East Station,it is concluded the layout of distributed yards should be adopted when several lines accessing into,the layout of the yards for the different lines should be adopted when there is a little exchange trains among the lines and the layout of the yards for the different directions should be adopted when there are many exchange trains among the lines. The method for selection of the general station type presented in this paper can provide the reference to the similar works.
