Railway vertical section automatic design

Abstract

This paper was enlightened by Douglas-Peucker Algorithm, using the algorithm in the application of railway vertical section automatic design. Firstly, the paper introduced the basic principle of Douglas-Peucker algorithm, based on which, the flow path of railway vertical section automatic design was formulated according to the design criterion. Secondly, the algorithm result was applied in Mengxi Coal Transportation Corridor, the quantity of the railway was acq uired afterautomatic design with improved Douglas algorithm, through the quantity, and it could be proved that the algorithm did design a smooth slope. Automatic design in railway and road has become an inexorable trend, since it reduced the human cost, improved efficiency and avoided artificial defects. © (2013) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
