Taking a Safe Train Ride Home
TCT, Chengdu Metro Line 3 Taking a Safe Train Ride Home Riding on Chengdu Metro Line 3, you can reach various historic sites that are more than one thousand years old. The metro line's mission is to provide convenience for sightseeing and mitigate urban traffic issues. Apart from providing optimized transportation to Chengdu's residents and visitors, Chengdu Metro Line 3 also drives the market expansion of TCT's independently developed communications- based train control (CBTC) technology. AT A GLANCE BUSINESS CHALLENGE SOLUTION RESULT AT A GLANCE CBTC Becomes the Mainstream Technology “With metros taking the lead in adopting the CBTC system, Traffic Control Technology (TCT) is the first and the only high-tech company in China that has independently I believe in the future, high- developed the CBTC signaling system technology. Until recently, all TCT's projects had been limited to Beijing. Now, Chengdu Metro Line 3 has become the first metro line outside Beijing to have adopted TCT's CBTC speed trains, freight trains, technology. For TCT, this is big milestone as their domestic CBTC technology enjoys wider national attention. and other trains will also apply For passengers, the shift from a traditional control system to CBTC means shorter departure intervals between this system.” trains. With the traditional system, only one train at a time could enter a tunnel between stations, but now several trains can run at the same time in a tunnel with a safe distance between them. In terms of the huge traffic congestion, shorter departure intervals significantly increase the transport capacity of metro lines. -

Research on Decision-Making of Service Quality Improvement In
2019 International Conference on Advanced Education and Management (ICAEM 2019) ISBN: 978-1-60595-635-0 Research on Decision-making of Service Quality Improvement in Xiamen Metro Based on IPA and PZB Model Ju-Xiang ZHANGa and Ming-Hui JIAb Tan Kah Kee College, Xiamen University, Zhang Zhou, China [email protected], [email protected] Keywords: Xiamen Metro; Service Quality; IPA Analysis Model; PZB Service Quality Gap Model. Abstract. Urban public transportation plays a very important role in contemporary social travel, which means one the social development and progress of a public transport is urban rail transit -- metro. This study from Xiamen city metro which was just in the beginning, it took the selection from the service quality as a measure, it effective combined the PZB service quality gap model with the model of IPA, it first found out its quality elements by using PZB service quality gap model, and then analyzed the service quality evaluation through the IPA model. The problems in the service process are found out, in order to solve these problems, the decision methods that can improve these problems are proposed. Introduction Urban rail traffic not only meets the needs of residents, but also represents the development level of a city and the living standard of local residents. Quality service can improve customer perception, to meet the psychological needs of passengers and generate positive effects such as customer loyalty. Xiamen metro is in the service of urban rail transit system in Xiamen, Fujian province, China. Xiamen metro’s line 1, with a total length of about 267 kilometers, opened on December 31, 2017. -

Interactive comment on “A 368-year maximum temperature reconstruction based on tree ring data in northwest Sichuan Plateau (NWSP), China” by Liangjun Zhu et al. Anonymous Referee #1 Received and published: 29 February 2016 This manuscript presented a 368-year temperature reconstruction based on tree-ring record in northeast edge of Tibetan Plateau. It is a necessary supplement of past cli- mate proxy records in this area, especially for the monthly mean maximum temperature reconstruction and its implication for rapid warming in recent at this region. Overall this manuscript is well-written, the work seems to be of high quality and is appropriate for Climate of the Past. Therefore, I would recommend this manuscript for publication in this Journal after the following issues are addressed. (1) In the past 368 years, you identified seven short cold periods and three long warm periods (two long and one short). Could you explain why it appeared like this? (2) You detected different significant periodicities of temperature variations in the past C1 368 years. Only for this, you thought the temperature variations could be driven by ENSO, PDO, AMO and solar activity, which may not accurate. Please give more evi- dences if possible. (3) References in text of the manuscript should be listed in chronological order. (4) It would be better if this manuscript is fluent by a native speaker again. Other detailed comments: Line 11, Page 1: replace “for” with “in” Line 12, Page 1: move “base on a chronology of tree-ring widths over the period 1646-2013” to the end of “variability”. -

It acts as a think tank for transport policy and organises the Annual Summit of transport ministers. ITF is the only global body that covers all transport modes. The ITF is politically autonomous and administratively integrated with the OECD. The ITF works for transport policies that improve peoples’ lives. Our mission is to foster a deeper understanding of the role of transport in economic growth, environmental sustainability and social inclusion and to raise the public profile of transport policy. The ITF organises global dialogue for better transport. We act as a platform for discussion and pre-negotiation of policy issues across all transport modes.

Organophosphate esters (OPEs) are contaminants of emerging concernemerging 11 contaminants in recent years and studies concluded that urban areascenters were a significant source of 12 OPEs. Samples were collected from six ground-based sites located in Chengdu, a typical fast 13 developing metropolitan of southwest China and were analyzed for seven OPEs in atmospheric PM2.5. -3 14 The concentrations of Σ7 OPEs in PM2.5 ranged from 5.83 to 6.91 ng· m , with a mean of 6.6 ± 3.3 15 ng· m-3, and the primary pollutants were TBEP, TnBP, TCEP and TCPP which together made up more 16 than 80% in the Σ7 OPEs. The concentrations of Σ7 OPEs were higher in autumn/winter than that in 17 summer. Nonparametric test showed that there was no significant difference in Σ7 OPEs concentrations 18 among the six sampling sites, but the occurrence of unexpected high level of individual OPEs at 19 different sites in autumn might indicate that there was a noteworthy emission. Very strong correlation 2 20 (R = 0.98, p<0.01) between the OPEs in soil and in PM2.5 was observedsuggested the atmospheric 21 PM2.5 settlement is an important source of OPEs in soil. -

The Suzhou National High-tech District tram was investigated as a J6 case study. Two key findings are highlighted. Firstly, the new tramway was routed along the “path of least resis- P2 tance”–avoiding dense urban areas, to reduce conflict with cars. Secondly, regarding urban transport integration, R3 four perspectives were evaluated, namely planning and design, service operation, transport governance and user R4 experience. Findings show insufficient integration in the following aspects, namely tram and bus routes and services, O2 fares on multi-modal journeys, tram station distribution, service intervals, and luggage auxiliary support. The paper Keywords: argues there is a need for a critical review of the role of tram and for context-based innovative policy reform and Tram governance that could possibly facilitate a successful introduction and integration of tram into a city. Urban development Urban transport integration Suzhou China 1. Introduction so instead began planning tram networks. There has been relatively little research examining how new trams have been introduced into cities and The past decade has seen rapid development of urban rail systems in whether these tramways provide an effective alternative to private car use.
