It is empirically con?rmed that a stop-spacing longer than approximately 20.00kmhaslittlein?uence upon thetransport e?ciency ofthetrain. Incontrast, shortening the stop-spacing below about 20.00km increases the transport time per passenger- kilometerofthetrainevidently,inparticularforatargetspeedmuchhigherthansome40.00km/h. Therefore, the target speed of such a train providing transport service on a railway line whose transportcapacityhasnotbeenmuchconsumedoughttobechangeable accordingtothelengthof eachstop-spacing ratherthanconsistent forthewholetrip. 1.Introduction Although the high-sp
