Özet:

High-speed train (YHT) is a safe, comfortable and efficient transport mode. Due to its high passenger capacity and the ability to provide short travel time, YHT has recently become one of the main vehicles that relieves the traffic burden of the main cross-city traffic corridors in many countries and in Turkey. In recent years, investments are being made in Turkey in order to expand the railway network and large budgets are allocated for this. In this context, the construction of the Ankara-Sivas high-speed train line, one of the high-speed train lines, is ongoing. This study also aims to identify the stations, which are one of the important steps of transportation planning. Improving the line’s preferability and determining and optimizing the station locations in line efficiency is of great importance. In this study, first the analytical hierarchy process determined the importance of the positions of possible stations on Ankara-Sivas YHT. The objective of achieving objectives of importance weight, maximum population and close proximity to the center and specific limitations, together with the target programming model, was established. The model is resolved using the ILOG program and the optimal number of stations and locations are determined. After all, four stations on the line have been determined.
