The design of railway stations impacts transportation efficiency and production. Therefore, meeting the needs of the new era for station design is a concern for the railway industry. This paper proposes a new design method for intercity/urban railway stations to address the requirements of the CTCS2+ATO (China Train Control System Level 2 + Automatic Train Operation) train control system for public transportation operations, aiming to shorten yard length and improve transportation efficiency. First, we compare design principles of arrival/departure lines at home and abroad. Second, we analyze factors affecting the effective length of passenger dedicated line stations. Third, we analyze the technical conditions for the implementation of the CTCS2+ATO system, optimize various influencing parameters according to the design specifications while ensuring the safe operation of trains. Fourth, we establish a CTCS2+ATO system arrival and departure line effective length model under selected vehicle parameters and line parameters conditions, and provide examples, illustrations and explanations of the effective length. Finally, we verify the proposed station design scheme through the intercity/urban railway CTCS2+ATO system laboratory test platform. The experimental results show that under the selected parameters, the train is controlled by ATO, and after entering the station, it stops steadily and accurately without passing the outbound signal. This is consistent with the theory and can improve the transportation efficiency of railway passenger dedicated lines while shortening the platform distances. The research results can be used to guide the design of intercity/urban railway stations.
