Transport Solutions

A company that specialises in carefully researched, innovative solutions for the transport industry. In order to develop the idea, we spend a considerable amount of time exploring ways in which the transport industry can be improved. This is a long, difficult, but at the same time enjoyable process because we enjoy what we do. Once this process has yielded a potential result, we make contact with the appropriate leaders in the transport industry or display the the concept through this website.                 

One idea that is worth investigating is how many high-speed rail stations should be in a large city? Some developers have deployed one, while many have deployed two. If two are chosen, these people know that the high-speed train has to slow down and stop at this extra stop, but at least the passengers have easy access to another part of the major city. So, they have decided that the benefits outweigh the drawbacks here.

Or do they? On the other side of the coin, having two stations relegates the high-speed train to an inner-city form of transport. Why can't the inner city form of transport link the passengers to the different points within the city and therefore let the high-speed train do its job of travelling at high speeds to connect distant centres. One counter argument we hear for example, is that with one station, there is more of a need to use inner city transportation to get around the city which may cause inconvenience to passengers because they need to change transport. However, even with two stations, most passengers would need to use some additional form of transport to get to their precise location. What is more is that with two stations, the overall high-speed train journey is longer, and this cancels out some of the benefits of having a faster, more convenient city access. So, in effect you are building a second very expensive station in the city and the time savings for the passenger have already been cancelled out. Based on this initial reasoning, we believe having one station rather than two in a city is far more beneficial.

However, to provide conclusive proof about this issue, we have analysed large amounts of data and constructed sophisticated models that provide powerful conclusions of whether one station or two are preferred. We even go further and provide insight into the quality of the inner-city transport required to switch from two stations to one. We have run thousands upon thousands of simulations in our complex model to build up a sophisticated report addressing this problem. And the results we have obtained are quite shocking.  If you are interested, please contact us for further info.
