As high speed railway stations typically connect multiple directions of lines and involve complex technical operations, optimization of train routes is of great significance for enhancing the stability of station operation planning and quality. In consideration of connectivity and constraints between station arrival-departure tracks and throat area equipment and through a turnout grouping method, a microscopic time-space network was constructed with the throat area route and arrival-departure tracks as the research objects. To maximize the matching degree of train occupancy and arrival-departure tracks, a time-space network optimization model for train route allocation was established in consideration of constraints such as time-space network flow balance, equipment occupancy uniqueness, and incompatibility to transform complex constraints in route allocation into constraints between arcs and nodes in the network. By using the Lagrangian relaxation algorithm, the constraints of equipment occupancy incompatibility were relaxed into the objective function, and the original problem was decomposed into subproblems for solving the optimal arrival-departure track for a single train. Finally, the Baojinan Station was taken as the background for case verification. The algorithm operated for 6.45 s, performed 80 iterations, and achieved an optimized GAP value of 1.4%. These results demonstrate that the proposed method can generate conflict-free train route allocation schemes within a short time.
