Nvironmental Management and Performance
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND PERFORMANCE LAND AND WATERBORNE TRANSPORT Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated cities in the world. A safe, efficient, reliable and environment friendly transport system is important to the sustainable development of the city. On environmental management, we will continue to press ahead with the following initiatives - priority for efficient and environment friendly transport modes; reduction in traffic congestion and better inter-modal co-ordination; greater emphasis on pedestrian facilities; and application of Information Technology (IT) to transport management. Priority for Efficient and Environment Friendly Transport Modes Railways are environment friendly, safe and efficient mass carriers in Hong Kong, carrying about 40% of our public transport passengers. At present, the total length of our railways under operation is about 219 km. We are taking forward the following five railway projects in full swing - West Island Line; South Island Line (East); Kwun Tong Line Extension; Shatin to Central Link; and Hong Kong section of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link. 7 Upon completion of these railway passenger lines by 2020, the total length of railways in operation in Hong Kong will be increased to about 280 km. We launched the consultancy study on the Review and Update of the Railway Development Strategy 2000 in March 2011 to further our policy for better use of railways as the backbone of the passenger transport system. Development of rail transport will significantly speed up passenger flow, alleviate road traffic congestion and reduce vehicle-induced air pollution. The study is expected to be completed in 2013. The Government will continue with its efforts to enhance the co-ordination between railway and other public transport modes to avoid unnecessary duplication of public transport resources and alleviate traffic congestion.

Hung Hom Station to Transform Into an Upgraded Interchange Hub New Interchange Arrangements for the East Rail Line and West Rail Line
PR040/21 7 June 2021 Hung Hom Station to Transform into an Upgraded Interchange Hub New Interchange Arrangements for the East Rail Line and West Rail Line The new Tuen Ma Line (“TML”) platform at Hung Hom Station (“HUH”) will be opened on 20 June 2021 (Sunday), i.e. one week before the commissioning of TML, and new interchange arrangements for the West Rail Line (“WRL”) and the East Rail Line (“EAL”) will be in place on the same day. A series of upgrading works, including the construction of new platforms, have been implemented at HUH to cope with the full opening of the TML, as well as the commissioning of the Cross-Harbour Section of EAL. The new platforms will be put into service in phases according to the progress of the two projects. While the Cross-Harbour Section of EAL is still under construction, upon the opening of the new TML platform at HUH, passengers have to pass through the concourse to reach the existing EAL platform and the WRL (future TML) platform for changing between EAL and WRL (future TML) at HUH. (Please refer to annex for details). Passengers will have to follow the new interchange arrangements until the commissioning of the Cross-Harbour Section of EAL and the full launch of the new two-level platforms at HUH. By then passengers will be taking the EAL and TML at the new platforms. “Signage with colours corresponding to the relevant rail lines will be installed to direct passengers to the platforms they want to go to. We will also deploy additional staff, put up notices and make public announcements to assist and remind passengers of the new arrangements.

Received: 11 October 2019; Accepted: 23 December 2019; Published: 25 December 2019 Abstract: Traffic congestion, especially during peak hours, has become a challenge for transportation systems in many metropolitan areas, and such congestion causes delays and negative effects for passengers. Many studies have examined the prediction of congestion; however, these studies focus mainly on road traffic, and subway transit, which is the main form of transportation in densely populated cities, such as Tokyo, Paris, and Beijing and Shenzhen in China, has seldom been examined. This study takes Shenzhen as a case study for predicting congestion in a subway system during peak hours and proposes a hybrid method that combines a static traffic assignment model with an agent-based dynamic traffic simulation model to estimate recurrent congestion in this subway system.

Dwelling in Shenzhen: Development of Living Environment from 1979 to 2018
Dwelling in Shenzhen: Development of Living Environment from 1979 to 2018 Xiaoqing Kong Master of Architecture Design A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2020 School of Historical and Philosophical Inquiry Abstract Shenzhen, one of the fastest growing cities in the world, is the benchmark of China’s new generation of cities. As the pioneer of the economic reform, Shenzhen has developed from a small border town to an international metropolis. Shenzhen government solved the housing demand of the huge population, thereby transforming Shenzhen from an immigrant city to a settled city. By studying Shenzhen’s housing development in the past 40 years, this thesis argues that housing development is a process of competition and cooperation among three groups, namely, the government, the developer, and the buyers, constantly competing for their respective interests and goals. This competing and cooperating process is dynamic and needs constant adjustment and balancing of the interests of the three groups. Moreover, this thesis examines the means and results of the three groups in the tripartite competition and cooperation, and delineates that the government is the dominant player responsible for preserving the competitive balance of this tripartite game, a role vital for housing development and urban growth in China. In the new round of competition between cities for talent and capital, only when the government correctly and effectively uses its power to make the three groups interacting benignly and achieving a certain degree of benefit respectively can the dynamic balance be maintained, thereby furthering development of Chinese cities.

An Adapted Geographically Weighted Lasso (Ada-GWL) Model For
An Adapted Geographically Weighted Lasso (Ada-GWL) model for estimating metro ridership Yuxin He∗1, Yang Zhaoy2 and Kwok Leung Tsuiz1,2 1School of Data Science, City University of Hong Kong, Kowloon, Hong Kong 2Centre for Systems Informatics Engineering, City University of Hong Kong, Kowloon, Hong Kong April 3, 2019 Abstract Ridership estimation at station level plays a critical role in metro transportation planning. Among various existing ridership estimation methods, direct demand model has been recognized as an effective approach. However, existing direct demand models including Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) have rarely included local model selection in ridership estimation. In practice, acquiring insights into metro ridership under multiple influencing factors from a local perspective is important for passenger volume management and transportation planning operations adapting to local conditions. In this study, we propose an Adapted Geographi- cally Weighted Lasso (Ada-GWL) framework for modelling metro ridership, which performs regression-coefficient shrinkage and local model selection. It takes metro network connection intermedia into account and adopts network-based distance metric instead of Euclidean-based distance metric, making it so-called adapted to the context of metro networks. The real-world arXiv:1904.01378v1 [stat.AP] 2 Apr 2019 case of Shenzhen Metro is used to validate the superiority of our proposed model. The results show that the Ada-GWL model performs the best compared with the global model (Ordinary Least Square (OLS), GWR, GWR calibrated with network-based distance metric and GWL in terms of estimation error of the dependent variable and goodness-of-fit. Through understanding the variation of each coefficient across space (elasticities) and variables selection of each station, ∗email: [email protected] yCorresponding author, email: [email protected] zemail: [email protected] 1 it provides more realistic conclusions based on local analysis.

This report presents the results of the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department’s (EMSD) technical investigation into the causes of the incident. The investigation of EMSD revealed that the cause of the derailment was track gauge widening1. The sleepers2 at the incident location were found to have various issues including rotting and screw hole elongation, which reduced the strength of the sleepers and their ability to retain the rails in the correct position. The track gauge under dynamic loading of trains would be even wider, and this excessive gauge widening caused the train to derail at the time of incident. After the incident, MTR Corporation Limited (MTRCL) have reviewed the timber sleeper condition across the entire EAL route and replaced the sleepers of dissatisfactory condition. MTRCL were requested to enhance the maintenance regime to closely monitor the track conditions with reference to relevant trade practices to ensure railway safety.
