Abstract: In this paper, a bidirectional quasi-moving block cellular automaton model for single-track railways is proposed to simulate the impact of quasi-moving block on the passing capacity of single track railway. The rules of train departure, meeting, entering the station and running in the section are formulated and the Naqu–Lhasa section of the Qinghai–Tibet Railway is taken as an example for simulation. The results show that, under the quasi moving block, with the changes of the mixed ratio and stop time of freight train, the passing capacity is improved compared with the currently adopted automatic inter-station block. Besides, it is found that the passing capacity is the largest under equal station spacing conditions, indicating that the distance between stations should be minimized in the preliminary line design.
