There are two alternative Plans for operating a high-speed inter-city rail service. In Plan I, the service connects city A with city B through city C where the rail makes a stop to load or unload passengers. The rail transportation system is assumed to be perfectly symmetrical with respect to direction of travel. A 0.5 hr A 2.0 hr 0.5 hr Plan I C 0.5 hr The link travel times are 2 hours between each pair of cities in both directions. The time it takes to service the train at each node is 0.5 hours. In the alternative Plan II, the train company considers to stop servicing the smaller city C, in order to provide a better level of service for the users in the city A and city B. Plan II 2.0 hr 3.5 hr B 0.5 hr B 0.5 hr According to Plan II, the travel time between the major cities A and B in both directions will be reduced to 3.5 hours. The time it takes to service the train in both city A and city B is still 0.5 hours. There are two alternative Plans for operating a high-speed inter-city rail service.
