    China Ex-Post Evaluation of Japanese ODA Loan Project Chongqing Urban Railway Construction Project External Evaluator: Kenichi Inazawa, Office Mikage, LLC 1. Project Description Map of the Project Area Chongqing Monorail Line 2 1.1 Background Under its policies of reform and openness China has been achieving economic growth averaging about 10% per year. On the other hand, along with the economic progress, urban development, and rising living standards brought about by the reforms and opening up, problems caused by the underdevelopment of urban infrastructure in major cities have surfaced. As a result, traffic congestion and air pollution were becoming increasingly serious. Chongqing City is located in the eastern part of the Sichuan basin on the upper reaches of the Chang River. In 1997 the city became the fourth directly-controlled municipality in China following Beijing, Shanghai and Tianjin. After Chongqing City became the directly-controlled municipality, the city began actively promoting introduction of foreign investment and becoming a driving force for economic development in inland regions of China. However, along with the economic development, traffic congestion became much worse in the central city areas1, impeding the functionality of the city, while air pollution increased due to exhaust gas from automobiles, leading to a worsening of the living environment. The situation reached a point where transportation via roads was being inhibited due to the terrain of Chongqing City and the condition of the existing city areas. The improvement of the urban environment was considered 1 The central part of Chongqing City is in a rugged mountainous area. It is divided in two by the Chang River and the Jialing River.

And it has effect of increasing the railway capacity by allowing the high-density train control through a high capacity of information transmission between the on-board and the wayside. Also, it reduces the maintenance cost because it does not use the existing track circuits. The Automatic Train Protection (ATP)/ Automatic Train Operation (ATO) is fundamental train control system for driverless operation in urban rail and metro rail, and it is important role in the communications based train control system. Especially, the ATO acts as a key role for automatic operation in urban rail with short distance between stations stopping and frequently stops. This paper describes the door control including platform screen door (PSD) and functional allocation of ATO which is responsible for the automatic operation and the door control as a subsystem of the Korean Radio-based Train Control System (KRTCS).

    2019 International Conference on Computer Science, Communications and Big Data (CSCBD 2019) ISBN: 978-1-60595-626-8 Problems and Measures of Passenger Organization in Guangzhou Metro Stations Ting-yu YIN1, Lei GU1 and Zheng-yu XIE1,* 1School of Traffic and Transportation, Beijing Jiaotong University, Beijing, 100044, China *Corresponding author Keywords: Guangzhou Metro, Passenger organization, Problems, Measures. Abstract. Along with the rapidly increasing pressure of urban transportation, China's subway operation is facing the challenge of high-density passenger flow. In order to improve the level of subway operation and ensure its safety, it is necessary to analyze and study the operation status of the metro station under the condition of high-density passenger flow, and propose the corresponding improvement scheme. Taking Guangzhou Metro as the study object, this paper discusses and analyzes the operation and management status of Guangzhou Metro Station. And combined with the risks and deficiencies in the operation and organization of Guangzhou metro, effective improvement measures are proposed in this paper. Operation Status of Guangzhou Metro The first line of Guangzhou Metro opened on June 28, 1997, and Guangzhou became the fourth city in mainland China to open and operate the subway. As of April 26, 2018, Guangzhou Metro has 13 operating routes, with 391.6 km and 207 stations in total, whose opening mileage ranks third in China and fourth in the world now. As of July 24, 2018, Guangzhou Metro Line Network had transported 1.645 billion passengers safely, with an average daily passenger volume of 802.58 million, an increase of 7.88% over the same period of 2017 (7.4393 million).

ABSTRACT With the development of urbanization, more and more people live in cities and enjoy a convenient and comfortable life. But at the same time, it caused many issues such as informal settlement, air pollution and traffic congestions, which are both affecting residents and stressing the environment. To achieve intensive and diverse social activities, the demand for transportation also increased, the proportion of cars travelling is getting higher and higher. However, the trend of relying too much on private cars has caused traffic congestion, lack of parking spaces and other issues, which is against the goal of sustainable development. Transit-oriented development (TOD) aims to integrate the development of land use and transportation, which has been seen as a strategy to address some issues caused by urbanization.

  • Installation of Platform Screen Doors for the MTR Airport Express Line and Tung Chung Line in Hong Kong
    Together we engineer a better Asia Installation of Platform Screen Doors for the MTR Airport Express Line and Tung Chung Line in Hong Kong Developer MTR Corporation JEC Scope Installation of platform screen doors at the platforms of Airport Express Line & Tung Chung Line Location Hong Kong Project Completion Date 1998 Jardine Engineering Corporation (JEC) installed Hong Kong's first platform screen doors on a number of stations for the Mass Transit Railway (MTR). This was one of the first time this equipment had been installed the region. JEC installed the platform screen doors of over 4km linear length at 10 stations for the Airport Express and the Tung Chung Lines: a) Airport Express Line: Airport, Tsing Yi, Kowloon and Hong Kong Stations b) Tung Chung Line: Tung Chung, Tsing Yi, Lai King, Olympic, Kowloon and Hong Kong Stations Purpose of Screen Doors There are many advantages to installing platform screen doors. The platform-long screen doors also provide a physical separation between the tracks and platform to enhance passengers’ safety. It also reduces noise created when a train is approaching the platform. The screen doors significantly improve the station environment by preventing the escape of air- conditioned air. This reduces the loading to the railway's environmental control system and in turn reduces energy consumption. The introduction of screen doors to the Airport Express and Tung Chung Lines was a success and the technology has been extended to a large number of MTR stations in Hong Kong. The technology provides a better transportation environment for MTR passengers. Jardine Engineering Corporation www.jec.com T011-0510H.
