Abstract:
The Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway is the main transportation line during the Beijing Olympic Winter Games. So, flexible and applicable ticketing strategies are of great significance to improve the percentage of passenger seats utilization per train and meet the travel demands during the Olympic Winter Games. By analyzing the travel needs of all kinds of the passengers during the Olympic Winter Games, one set of comprehensive ticketing strategies is proposed according to the current situation and future operation of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway during the Olympic Winter Games by duly employing proper ticketing management methods like ticket arrival and departure limit, ticket sharing between station, seat reuse, combination of short-haul tickets, sale stop of tickets between designated stations, thus maximizing railway transport capacity and ensuring the smooth hosting of the Beijing Olympic Winter Games.
