Different countries have developed high-speed rail system in different ways. The unique circumstances in China have led to the need to figure out which is the best operating mode of passenger flow between high-speed and conventional rail, and how best to integrate high-speed operations into the conventional rail network. This paper provides a brief description of the three operation patterns of passenger flow between high-speed and convention rail. Based on this description, a generalized cost model in which three modes are compared has been developed in order to estimate the optimal coverage of high-speed trains. The model takes into account some operating parameters such as train speed, travel time and some economic parameters such as time value and ticket price. The economical travel distance limitation of high-speed trains running on conventional rail can be estimated using the model.
