World Report on Metro Automation 2018 STATISTICS BRIEF WORLD REPORT ON METRO AUTOMATION 2018 INTRODUCTION In March 2018 automated metros reached the years will however overshadow this achievement: if 1,000km milestone with the opening of the Pu- confirmed projects advance to plan, by 2023 the jiang Line in Shanghai. As of December 2018, number of automated metro km in the world is set nearly a quarter of the world’s metro systems have to triple, with most of the growth taking place in at least one fully automated line in operation.

It has served Guangzhou since 2010, and is 17 kilometers from the city center. It is one the four main railway stations in Guangzhou. The other three are Guangzhou Railway Station, Guangzhou North Railway Station, and Guangzhou East Railway Station. After its opening, Guangzhou South Railway Station has been gradually taking the leading role of train transport from Guangzhou Railway Station, becoming one of the six key passenger train hubs of China. Despite of its easy accessibility from every corner of the city, ticket-checking and waiting would take a long time so we strongly suggest you be at the station as least 2 hours prior to your departure time, especially if you haven’t bought tickets in advance.

Project Description Map of the Project Area Chongqing Monorail Line 2 1.1 Background Under its policies of reform and openness China has been achieving economic growth averaging about 10% per year. On the other hand, along with the economic progress, urban development, and rising living standards brought about by the reforms and opening up, problems caused by the underdevelopment of urban infrastructure in major cities have surfaced. As a result, traffic congestion and air pollution were becoming increasingly serious. Chongqing City is located in the eastern part of the Sichuan basin on the upper reaches of the Chang River. In 1997 the city became the fourth directly-controlled municipality in China following Beijing, Shanghai and Tianjin. After Chongqing City became the directly-controlled municipality, the city began actively promoting introduction of foreign investment and becoming a driving force for economic development in inland regions of China. However, along with the economic development, traffic congestion became much worse in the central city areas1, impeding the functionality of the city, while air pollution increased due to exhaust gas from automobiles, leading to a worsening of the living environment. The situation reached a point where transportation via roads was being inhibited due to the terrain of Chongqing City and the condition of the existing city areas. The improvement of the urban environment was considered 1 The central part of Chongqing City is in a rugged mountainous area. It is divided in two by the Chang River and the Jialing River.

    2019 International Conference on Computer Science, Communications and Big Data (CSCBD 2019) ISBN: 978-1-60595-626-8 Problems and Measures of Passenger Organization in Guangzhou Metro Stations Ting-yu YIN1, Lei GU1 and Zheng-yu XIE1,* 1School of Traffic and Transportation, Beijing Jiaotong University, Beijing, 100044, China *Corresponding author Keywords: Guangzhou Metro, Passenger organization, Problems, Measures. Abstract. Along with the rapidly increasing pressure of urban transportation, China's subway operation is facing the challenge of high-density passenger flow. In order to improve the level of subway operation and ensure its safety, it is necessary to analyze and study the operation status of the metro station under the condition of high-density passenger flow, and propose the corresponding improvement scheme. Taking Guangzhou Metro as the study object, this paper discusses and analyzes the operation and management status of Guangzhou Metro Station. And combined with the risks and deficiencies in the operation and organization of Guangzhou metro, effective improvement measures are proposed in this paper. Operation Status of Guangzhou Metro The first line of Guangzhou Metro opened on June 28, 1997, and Guangzhou became the fourth city in mainland China to open and operate the subway. As of April 26, 2018, Guangzhou Metro has 13 operating routes, with 391.6 km and 207 stations in total, whose opening mileage ranks third in China and fourth in the world now. As of July 24, 2018, Guangzhou Metro Line Network had transported 1.645 billion passengers safely, with an average daily passenger volume of 802.58 million, an increase of 7.88% over the same period of 2017 (7.4393 million).
