Input parameters of the models.

ParameterValue or descriptive calculation

Split coefficient 11 for in-line trains and 3 for cross-line trains
Seating capacity 1,060 seats/train-set
Number of train stops Maximum of 7 times for in-line trains, and 8 for cross-line trains
In-vehicle time Train route length train travel speed ( accommodates to the rail line’s speed classification)
Consuming time Ticket fares (0.55 RMB/km for 350 km/h train, 0.45 RMB/km for other trains) ×   time value of passenger (45 RMB/h on average)
Wait time 0.50 : a fraction (taken as 0.50 here) of headway which is the inverse of a train’s operating frequency
Transfer time 30 minutes
Weights , , , and 0.39, 0.28, 0.12, 0.21
Baseline value 0.80 for in-line travelers and 0.50 for cross-line (transfer) travelers
