| 词条 | Network length (transport) |
| 释义 |
In transport terminology, network length (or, less often, system length) refers to the total length of a transport network, and commonly also refers to the length of any fixed infrastructure associated with the network. A measurement can be made of the network length of various different modes of transport, including rail, bus, road and air. The measurement may focus on one of a number of specific characteristics, such as route length, line length or track length. Lines and routesContinental European and Scandinavian transport network analysts and planners have long had a professional practice of using the following terminology (in their own languages) to draw a distinction between:
In 2000, this terminology was adopted by an English language best practice guide to public transport, to minimise the risk of confusion.[1][2] Since then, a number of other English language specialist publications have adopted the same terminology, for the same reason.[1][3][4] The terminology is therefore also used in this article. Route lengthThe route length of a transport network is the sum of the lengths of all routes in the network,[5] such as railways, road sections or air sectors. The U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration has also referred to this as "Directional Route Miles (DRM)".[6] Where a network is made up of railways, route length has also been defined, by at least one source, as the sum of the distances (in kilometres) between the midpoints of all stations on the network.[7] In a measurement of route length, each route is counted only once,[5] regardless of how many lines pass over it, and regardless of whether it is single track or multi track, single carriageway or dual carriageway.[6] If a transport network is made up of tangible routes owned or operated by the operator of the network (such as railways), then its route length is therefore the total length of the network's revenue earning fixed infrastructure. Line lengthIn {{Interlanguage link multi|scheduled transport|de|3=Linienverkehr}}, a calculation may also be made of network's line length, which is the sum of the lengths of all of the lines in the network. Any route in the network that is shared by multiple lines is therefore counted more than once. As a result, the line length of a transport network is always greater than or equal to its route length. Track lengthIf a network is made up of railways, tramways, or a combination of the two, its track length may also be calculated. The track length of a rail network is the combined length of all tracks in the network. Thus, a double track route will have a track length twice as long as its route length.[7] Calculation exampleTo illustrate how the three different calculations of network length are performed, here is a simple example:
The route length is: 5 km (A → B) + 5 km (B → C) + 5 km (B → D) ------- 15 km The line length is: 10 km (A → B → C, line 1) + 10 km (A → B → D, line 2) ------- 20 km The track length is: 10 km (A → B, double track) + 10 km (B → C, double track) + 10 km (B → D, double track) + 1 km (non-passenger carrying) ------- 31 km See also{{portal|Transport}}
