A micro-distortion excavation control method is proposed, that is the flat-top straight wall Cross Diaphragm (CRD) + multiple pre-top bracing concealed excavation construction methods. Furthermore, a numerical analysis using a finite difference program, FLAC3D, was conducted to analyze the settlement value of the existing Subway Station. .The results show that the maximum accumulated settlement value distribution was a shape of “W”; the largest settlement value is 2.96 mm, occurred above 5 drift; The accumulative deformation of the existing station was largest when the excavation of 1-drift and 2-drift was completed; Jacks plays an important role in the active controlling the settlement value of the existing station. The excavation of 1-drift destroys original crustal stress equilibrium, the plastic zone is formed; The plastic zone scope of soil above excavation section is largest, the thickness is about 12.5m. KEYWORDS: construction method; settlement; the existing subway stations; jacks INTRODUCTION The project of Beijing metro line 10 2nd-phase Gongzhufen Station which pass through line1 the existing station is the biggest beneath closely attached the existing lines engineering in Beijing, in order to guarantee normal operation of the existing subway, it requests the existing station sedimentation value caused by the new station construction is not more than 3 - 5785 - Vol. 19 [2014], Bund. T 5786 mm, the differential settlement value of deformation joint on both sides is not greater than 2 mm, the engineering is extremely difficult. Under the strict requirements, the flat-top straight wall CRD + multiple pre-back shore underground excavation construction method is proposed. As the technology is put forward and implemented, it is expected to solve a big difficulty in underground engineering and break through the bottleneck in beneath engineering, and provide an important foundation for the development of domestic subway construction. Although there exist some studies on the interaction between new excavations and existing tunnels (Lo and Ramsay, 1991; Dolezˇalová, 2001; Sharma et al., 2001; Liu et al., 2008, 2009; Ishihara,2001; Takeshi,2003; Qian Fang,2012) , studies focused specifically on the effect of new subway station close-attached undercrossing existing subway station are surprisingly scarce. Therefore, there are pressing needs for in-depth study on this subject. PROJECT PROFILE Engineering Background Gongzhufen subway station is an interchange station connecting Line 1 and Line 2 of Beijing subway. It is located at the intersection between Fuxing Street and West Sanhuan Street (Figure 1) . The length of the Line 1 part and the Line 10 part of this station is 169.7m and 193.65m respectively. The undercrossing section of Line 10 was single layer double span flat-straight-wall rectangle shape structure, which was 26.1m in length, 14.05m in width and 9.32m in height. The Gongzhufen station of Line 1 was built in 1967, reinforced concrete rectangular frame structure, which was 20.3m in width and 7.95m in height. The cover depth to the middle crown is about 4.5m for Line 1, and 12.5m for Line 10. There are four deformation joints of the existing Line 1 station in the undercrossing construction influence scope, the distance that new station away from deformation joints is 1.271 m, 11.659m, 2.409m and 10.521m respectively. The profiles reveal that the undercrossing excavation area was located mostly in conglomerate layer, mudstone layer and pebble bed layer. 4.5.m 9.32m The Line 1 Gongzhufen Station Deformation joint 1 Deformation joint 2 Deformation joint 4 Deformation joint 3 1.271 m 11.659m 10.521m 2.409m The Left Line The Right Line 14.05m Figure 1: Positional relation of two stations Vol. 19 [2014], Bund. T 5787 A NEW CONCEALED EXCAVATION CONSTRUCTION METHOD The construction method adopted for close-attached undercrossing part of Line 4 and Line 10, as shown in Figure 2. The main construction steps of which were: (1) Reinforcing 1-drift by advanced deep injection grouting before excavation; (2) excavating 1-drift, installing jacks at the top of grille, supporting the lower drift walls by advanced small catheter grouting; (3) excavating 2-drift, uploading 1-drift jacks force after grille closed, preloading layers and controlling deformation of existing station dynamically;(4) taking lateral deep-hole grouting for 3-drift and 5-drift through 1-drift; (5) shotcreting primary lining, and casting secondary lining within 1-drift and 2-drift, installing vertical steel-pipes supporting, with jacks, between roof and floor, and setting up horizontal steel-supporting between side walls. Erecting primary lining simultaneously with the secondary lining template， and exerting a little vertical jacking force to keep structure stick tightly; (6) repeating (3) , (4) , (5) in the 3-drift and 4-drift respectively; (7) excavating 5- drift, chiseling off local steel grating initial lining, setting up steel supporting between roofs; (8) excavating 6-drift, chiseling off local steel grating initial lining, setting up steel supporting between bottom plates; (9) increasing jacking force on both sides of vertical steel-pipes supporting, dismantling steel grille and jacks on both sides of 5-drift, chiseling off the rest of median lamella;(10) shotcreting primary lining and casting secondary lining in the 5-drift and 6-drift, when the second lining meets the design strength by more than 95%, reducing the vertical jacking force gradually, dismantling jacks.

(2) The deformation value of each excavation stage is shown in Figure 5. When l-drift and 2-drift are break-though, the cumulative deformation value is 1.73mm, accounting for 58.8% of the total deformation; when pilot 3-drift and 4-drift are run-through, the cumulative deformation is 2.17 mm and accounting for 73.8% of the total deformation; the settlement is smaller during the excavation process of 5-drift and 6-drift; but the existing structure produced a larger settlement when parts of jacks is removed, that accounting for 31.5% of the total deformation. (3) The distribution curve of jacking force in each construction stage is shown in Figure 6. (1) A sharply change phase of jacking force in 1-drift is mainly focus on 2-drift is cutthrough, the sharply change phase of jacking force in 3-drift is mainly focus on 4-drift cutthrough, When the 5-drift and 6-drift is cut-through, the jacking force reaches 120t within 1-drift and 3- drift; Unloading jacking force after 6-drift is cutthrough, the existing station occurs sharply deformation， the stage sedimentation value is 1.2 mm, but the final deformation of the existing station is still stable within 3 mm. (4) The monitoring data shows that the maximum differential settlement value on both sides of deformation joint is less than 1mm in the construction process, is shown in Figure 7. So combining the closely attached undercrossing with the actively control of jack top-bracing can effectively avoid the defects that the differential settlement on both sides of deformation joint is too large in the traditional construction methods.

In this paper, we study the optimization of first train timetables for an urban railway network that focuses on designing convenient and smooth timetables for morning passengers. We propose a mixed integer programming (MIP) model for minimizing train arrival time differences and the number of missed trains, i.e., the number of trains without transfers within a reasonable time at interchange stations as an alternative to minimize passenger transfer waiting times. This is interesting from the operator’s point of view, and we show that both criteria are equivalent. Starting from an intuitive model for the first train transfer problem, we then linearize the non-linear constraints by utilizing problem specific knowledge. In addition, a local search algorithm is developed to solve the timetabling problem. Through computational experiments involving the Beijing subway system, we demonstrate the computational efficiency of the exact model and the heuristic approach.

[email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Keywords: metro; financing; marketisation; reform Abstract. The construction and operation of a metro system are costly, and the sustainable development of a metro system is difficult using government funding alone, particularly for developing countries. The main source for metro system financing in China is, currently, government budget and bank debt. Many cities have begun to seek new ways to attract funds from finance markets, which is increasing the need for the evaluation of metro financing. This study uses Beijing as a case study that utilises various financing modes with impressive results. As participants of the financing reform, the authors collected all the relative government documents and interviewed stakeholders to accomplish this work. This article reviews the development of financing modes for the Beijing Metro system during the last four decades and analyses the role of the government in the reformed financing system within the Chinese social political environment. The study addresses the advantages and challenges of the reforms in this context. To further analyses the technical processes of typical financing modes, the public-private partnership mode of Line 4, the BT mode of Olympic Branch Line, the insurance claim mode of Line 10 and the failure of the market oriented financing for Capital Airport Line are analysed and evaluated in detail.

Automatic fare collection (AFC) systems have been widely used all around the world which record rich data resources for researchers mining the passenger behavior and operation estimation. However, most transit systems are open systems for which only boarding information is recorded but the alighting information is missing. Because of the lack of trip information, validation of utility functions for passenger choices is difficult. To fill the research gaps, this study uses the AFC data from Beijing metro, which is a closed system and records both boarding information and alighting information. To estimate a more reasonable utility function for choice modeling, the study uses the trip chaining method to infer the actual destination of the trip. Based on the land use and passenger flow pattern, applying k-means clustering method, stations are classified into 7 categories.

  • A Case Study of Beijing Subway
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia Engineering 137 ( 2016 ) 49 – 58 GITSS2015 Evaluating Disruption in Rail Transit Network: A Case Study of Beijing Subway Haodong Yina,b, Baoming Hana,b, Dewei Lib,*, Ying wangb aState key lab of rail traffic control & safety, Beijing Jiaotong University, Beijing, 100044, PR China bSchool of Traffic and Transportation, Beijing Jiaotong University, Beijing, 100044, PR China Abstract Disruption means serious deviation from the planned operations. In this paper, static disruption management problems of rail transit network are discussed: the importance evaluation problem and the disruption impact problem. For importance evaluation problem, betweenness based evaluation indexes of stations, edges and lines are established based on K shortest paths and passenger flow; for disruption impact problems, the global efficiency is adopted to evaluate how well the subway system works before and after the disruptions. And three levels of attack strategies are designed to describe the disruptions. Finally, Beijing subway is studied. The result of case study shows: (1)our proposed importation evaluation model based on expanded betweenness concepts can be used to evaluate the subway’s importance in different levels; (2)removal of even a few lines, stations or edges with a high betweenness will result in a big decline in the efficiency of subway network; (3)Beijing subway network is robust against random disruptions but fragile for intentional attacks. © 2016 PublishedThe Authors. by Elsevier Published Ltd. byThis Elsevier is an open Ltd. access article under the CC BY-NC-ND license Peer-review(http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ under responsibility of the Department).

  • Time Prediction Model of Subway Transfer
    Zhou et al. SpringerPlus (2016) 5:44 DOI 10.1186/s40064-016-1686-7 RESEARCH Open Access Time prediction model of subway transfer Yuyang Zhou*, Lin Yao, Yi Gong and Yanyan Chen *Correspondence: zyy@bjut. edu.cn Abstract Beijing Key Laboratory Walking time prediction aims to deduce waiting time and travel time for passengers of Traffic Engineering, Beijing University of Technology, and provide a quantitative basis for the subway schedule management. This model is Beijing 100124, China founded based on transfer passenger flow and type of pedestrian facilities. Chaoyang- men station in Beijing was taken as the learning set to obtain the relationship between transfer walking speed and passenger volume. The sectional passenger volume of different facilities was calculated related to the transfer passage classification. Model parameters were computed by curve fitting with respect to various pedestrian facilities. The testing set contained four transfer stations with large passenger volume. It is vali- dated that the established model is effective and practical. The proposed model offers a real-time prediction method with good applicability. It can provide transfer scheme reference for passengers, meanwhile, improve the scheduling and management of the subway operation. Keywords: Time prediction, Subway transfer, Passenger flow, Pedestrian facilities Background As an indispensable transportation system of big cities, subway has the merit of time reliability and vast capacity. With the development of urban subway system, passen- ger flow has increased significantly on peak time. The great concentration of passenger flow in transfer station has put enormous pressure on the subway system. Not only the underground network design decision, but also a huge range of consequential informa- tion service for passengers including transfer waiting time, travel time, reliability and even mode choice depend on the assumption about how long passengers will spent on walking from one subway line to the other.
