At the design phrase, it is difficult to determine a reasonable number of tracks of passenger rolling stock in a servicing yard. This article focuses on a new idea of simulation technology to find a solution. Using ARENA software, a simulation model for handling passenger train maintenance and overall preparation services is established on the basis of a fixed position working procedure. Several modules are developed and statistical indexes are designed. Finally, an operational evaluation of the design of a 14 track yard is made with a practical case of the passenger rolling stock servicing yard of Shanghai-South Railway Station. Fifteen or more tracks should be equipped with suitable service groups to synchronize all work.
