Data-Driven Pandemic Response and Delicacy Governance of Shenzhen Transportation [J]. Urban Transport of China, 2020 (4): 93–100. Data-Driven Pandemic Response and Delicacy Governance of Shenzhen Transportation ZHANG Xiaochun, SHAO Yuan, SUN Chao, LONG Junren, AN Jian, LIN Yulong Shenzhen Urban Transport Planning Center Co., Ltd., Shenzhen 518021, Guangdong Province, China Abstract: In the early rapid response to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), urban operations encountered a series of emergency problems. To build a credible, controllable, and reliable transportation system, this paper dis- cusses the overall situation of pandemic prevention and control, travel demand between Shenzhen and outside groups, urban traffic operation, activities in key areas, and enterprises resuming normal functions based on big data. Focusing on the key issues such as how to dynamically and accurately identify the changes of citizens’ travel de- mand and travel chain characteristics of the whole population, the paper puts forward the measures for the trans- formation of urban transportation system from the conventional pursuit of “large passenger flow and high efficiency” to “safe, reliable and accurate control.” Finally, the paper points out that developing a resilient transportation system should be included in the long-term transportation strategy to ensure urban operation.

  • Electronic Money Systems of Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta Region
    Press release LCQ2: Electronic money systems of Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta Region Wednesday, July 8, 2009 Following is a question by the Hon Andrew Leung and a reply by the Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, Professor K C Chan, in the Legislative Council today (July 8): Question: Octopus and Shenzhen Tong are two electronic money systems used extensively by residents in Hong Kong and Shenzhen respectively, and both systems may be used for various types of services such as public transport and shopping. Residents in Hong Kong and Shenzhen travel frequently between the two places, with over 100 million trips made each year, and approximately 10 million residents in Shenzhen are now eligible to apply locally for endorsement to visit Hong Kong under the "Individual Visit Scheme". Furthermore, nine cities in the Pearl River Delta Region have commenced preparation work for a "Smart Card" electronic money system which may be used for public transport. It is expected that the "Smart Card" will be introduced within the next few years for public use, and it will become the largest electronic money platform in the region. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council whether it will, under "The Outline of the Plan for the Reform and Development of the Pearl River Delta": (a) take the initiative to raise, as one discussion item, the early and pilot implementation of mutual use and access of the electronic money systems of Hong Kong and Shenzhen; and (b) strive for participating in the above preparation work for the "Smart Card", so as to transfer Hong Kong's experience in electronic money system to the Mainland, and strive for the inclusion of Hong Kong in the coverage of the "Smart Card"; if it will, of the progress; if not, the reasons for that? Reply: President, The Government's reply to the question is as follows: (a) The Government and the relevant regulators (including the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA)) have been promoting the financial infrastructure and economic cooperation between Hong Kong and the Mainland.

  • Urban Transport of China Bus Reform Strategies Under the Rapid
    Urban Transport of China No. 06 Citation: SHE Shiying, ZHENG Meng. Bus Reform Strategies Under the Rapid Development of Urban Rail Transit System [J]. Urban Transport of China, 2019 (06): 17–25. Bus Reform Strategies Under the Rapid Development of Urban Rail Transit System SHE Shiying1,2, ZHENG Meng2 1. Beijing University of Technology, Beijing 100124, China; 2. Wuhan Transportation Development Strategy Institute, Wuhan 430017, Hubei Province, China Abstract: At present, China’s cities are generally facing the problem of the decline of the passenger flow of con- ventional bus transit. By analyzing the functionality of bus service under the background of the rapid development of rail transit, this paper points out that the dominant position of conventional buses in urban public transit system still has not changed fundamentally. In the new era, the focus of public transit priority should return to the field of conventional buses and actively promote the reform of buses. Based on the experience of reform measures of urban bus service, the paper points out that in the new era, the conventional public transit reform should take the structural optimization and network adjustment as the key breakthrough and the free transfer or preferential transfer as the basic premise. It is necessary to establish coordination and risk prevention mechanisms in the implementation and to adopt gradual implementation strategy of small scale, high frequency, and fast iteration. DOI: 10.13813/j.cn11-5141/u.2019.0010-en Keywords: bus transit; rail transit; reform; structural reorganization; transfer discount In 2000, the Notice of the General Office of the State of bus passenger flow is inevitable or accidental, whether it Council on Strengthening the Construction and Management should be left alone or intervened actively, how to promote of Urban Rapid Rail Transit (GBF [2003] No.81) and the the development and reform, etc., are important issues to be Opinions on Priority Development of Urban Public Trans- studied urgently.
