Abstract

High-Speed Railway (HSR) location selection is a multidimensional process involving choosing the best station locations, corridors and alignment connecting the stations. Only by strategically placing the HSR stations, can the advantages of shorter intercity travel times, comfort, and safety associated with HSR be fully realized. Therefore, choosing a suitable HSR station location is essential while planning an HSR facility. The significant aspects affecting station location selection are ridership, connectivity to other modes of transportation, the costs associated with the stakeholders, socio-economic impacts, environmental feasibility, and inter-station spacing. The limitation of the existing literature is that only a few combinations of these aspects were considered in the optimization formulation to simplify the problem and make it computationally less expensive. Few studies have taken into account these aspects for urban rails, which may not be directly applicable to HSR. Based on the existing literature in this field, this paper discusses the important factors to consider when choosing an HSR station location.
