In principle, all materials issued by the municipal government departments are exempt from submission; anyone who can provide electronic certificates and licenses is exempted from submitting physical certificates and licenses. Up to now, applicants can no longer submit nearly 5,000 documents issued by the municipal government departments when applying for the 996 items of 41 departments across the whole district. "Exemption from submission" mainly relies on the channels such as "services accessed via one website" and "suishenban" app, and through the four methods of electronic certificates and licenses, data verification, notification of commitments, and administrative assistance, the materials verified and issued by the municipal government departments are exempt from submission. Next, Pudong will continue to deepen the reform of "power delegation, administration streamlining and government service optimization", advance and improve the "two exemptions", and continue to develop a series of measures to optimize the business environment for the convenience of people and benefits of enterprises, effectively improve the convenience, experience and satisfaction of enterprises and the people. (Excerpt from pudongfabu) Regional News New Factory of Meiji Ice Cream Settled in Songjiang, with a Total Investment of Some US $98.15 million Recently, Songjiang Economic and Technological Development Zone and Meiji Confectionery (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. signed an investment agreement for the construction of a new ice cream factory, which marked the launch of the Meiji ice cream factory construction project in Songjiang. The total planned investment of the project is about US $98.15 million. According to the agreement, Meiji will invest in a new high-end ice cream production base on the basis of the original chocolate production line. The project site plot is located in the eastern park of Songjiang Economic Development Zone, covering an area of about 45 mu. Meiji's increased investment in the Economic Development Zone indicates that the group has long-term confidence in Songjiang's economy. From January to October this year, Songjiang Economic and Technological Development Zone has realized a total investment of US $765.34 million for foreign projects, US $520.44 million of contractual foreign investment and US $118.17 million of paid-in investment. This set of nice figures has hit a record high in attracting foreign investment in the economic development zone in recent years.

  • Modeling and Simulation of Shanghai MAGLEV Train Transrapid with Random Track Irregularities
    Modeling and Simulation of Shanghai MAGLEV Train Transrapid with Random Track Irregularities Prof. Shu Guangwei M.Sc. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Reinhold Meisinger Prof. Shen Gang Ph.D. Shanghai Institute of Technology, Shanghai, P.R. China Nuremberg University of Applied Sciences, Nuremberg, Germany Tongji University, Shanghai, P.R. China Abstract The MAGLEV Transrapid is a kind of new type high speed train in the world which is levitated and gui- ded over the track using electro magnetic forces. Because the electro magnets are unstable, they ha- ve to be controlled. Since 2002 the worldwide first commercial use of such a high speed train based on German technology is running successfully in Shanghai Pudong Airport, P.R.China. In this paper modeling of the high speed MAGLEV train Transrapid is discussed, which considered the whole mechanical system of one vehicle with optimized suspension parameters and all controlled electro magnet pairs in vertical and lateral directions. The dynamical simulation code is generated with MATLAB/SIMILINK. For the design of the control system, the optimal Linear Quadratic Control for minimum control energy is used for each single electro magnet. The simulation results are presen- ted with the given vertical and lateral random track irregularities. The research work was carried out together with Prof. Shen Gang, Ph.D. during the time Prof. Dr. Meisinger was visiting professor in Shanghai 2006 and Prof. Shu Guangwei, M.Sc. was visiting profes- sor in Nuremberg 2007.

DC (LEO/JG) 51113/1 © UCLES 2012 [Turn over 2 Extract 1: How Maglev Trains Work If you’ve been to an airport lately, you’ve probably noticed that air travel is becoming more and more congested. Despite frequent delays, aeroplanes still provide the fastest way to travel hundreds or thousands of miles. Passenger air travel revolutionised the transport industry in the last century, letting people traverse great distances in a matter of hours instead of days or weeks. Fig. E1.1 The first commercial maglev line made its debut in December of 2003. The only alternatives to aeroplanes – feet, cars, buses, boats and conventional trains – are just too slow for today’s fast-paced society.

  • China Shanghai Pudong International Airport Construction Project 1
    China Shanghai Pudong International Airport Construction Project Report: December, 2001 Field Survey: August, 2001 1. Project Profile and Japan's ODA Loan Site Map: Shanghai Site Photo: Shanghai Pudong International Airport 1.1 Background It was expected that the annual volume of aerial transportation in China would rapidly increase to reach 100 million passengers and 2 million tons of Cargo by 2000 (the number of passengers was 51 million and the volume of cargo was 1.01 million tons in 1995). To prepare for this increased demand, the Chinese government planned to develop 41 major airports, including this project, and to expand the radar control system through the Ninth Five-Year Plan. Yangzi Shanghai City, in which traffic volume in 1995 reached 11.08 million in passengers (the third highest in China) and 370,000 tons in cargo (the second highest), was regarded as a center city for Hongqiao Airport Pudong JIANGSU New aerial transportation in China. It was expected Area that further economic development in the Pudong New Area, the location of this project, Huangpu Shanghai City would increase the annual volume of aerial transportation in 2005 to 33 million in Pudong District passengers and 1.2 million tons in cargo. ZHEJIANG Although the current Hongqiao Airport had just seen completion of construction for expansion in 1996, it already faced more demands than its capacity could accommodate. In addition, further expansion was considered difficult since it is located in an area of dense population.1 Thus, in order to respond to the increasing aerial demand in the Shanghai District, it became necessary by this project to construct a new airport, mainly for international services, in the Pudong District.
