In order to calculate the passenger capacity of tramway, based on analyzing tramway operating characteristics, a line capacity calculation model was established by taking the station clearance time, stopping time and operating margin as variables. Then, via the sum of the average stopping time and the average waiting time at the red light converted into the average stopping time at the intersection, the line capacities with and without signal coordinated control and signal coordinated control were calculated; the passenger capacities of vehicles were revised by the vehicle capacity utilization coefficient of different vehicle length. Finally, the passenger capacities of trams were calculated. The research results show that: when there is no signal coordinated control, the passenger capacity is 6000~10000p/h; after signal coordinated control, the passenger capacity will be increased by 20%～40% to 8000~15000p/h; the longer the intersection signal cycle, the lower the passenger capacity. Therefore, tramway should be set with signal priority coordinated control, and the scale of intersections should be controlled to reduce the signal cycle time.
