Design and Applicability Analysis of Real-name Train-riding Scheme for City (Suburban) and Intercity Railways

Objective At present, there are no systematic research results on the real-name train-riding scheme yet for city (suburban) and intercity railways. Therefore, the implementation and construction of such system has no guidelines, restricting the interconnected and integrated development of the four networks (main line railways, intercity railways, city/suburban railways and urban rail transit) to a certain extent. Method The current status of the real-name ticket system in rail transit industry, the national, local and industry policies related to real name train riding are analyzed. The advantages, disadvantages and necessity of implementing the above system in city (suburban) and intercity railways are expounded. For the first time, the scheme of using flexible real-name ticket system in city (suburban) and intercity railways is proposed, and two flexible real-name system schemes (the scheme of passenger′s person-face-ticket consistence, and the scheme of passenger′s ticket-ID consistence) and the strong real-name system scheme are compared in terms of their advantages and disadvantages. Relevant suggestions for the implementation of the flexible real-name system in city (suburban) and intercity railways are put forward. Result & Conclusion City (suburban) railway and intercity railway should have the ability to set up the flexible real-name system, and determine the specific implementation plans according to the actual situation and operational needs.
