Urban Rail Transit Communication Signal Technology Professional Construction Urban Rail Transit Communication Signal Technology Professional Construction Communication Signal Technology Project Team Zhang Libiao 1 Professional setup n Since 1999, China's urban rail transit has entered a stage of vigorous development. At present, 37 cities have been approved to build urban rail transit. n Beijing has been building subways since 1969. According to the Beijing Traffic Development Plan during the Twelfth Five-Year Plan Period, during the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period, Beijing will more prominent rail transit in the urban public passenger transport system in the backbone position, By the end of the Twelfth Five-Year Plan, the length of rail transit in operation will reach 666km, and by 2020, it will reach the operation scale of 1000km。 n According to human resource analysis of Beijing subway, a single kilometer of newly built railway section should be equipped with 75 workers, among them, the number of communication signal maintenance personnel accounts for 10%, calculated as 50-75km per year for the construction of Beijing subway, 300 to 500 new employees are needed each year. 2050年 n 挖空了 1 Professional setup (continued) n At 7:35 on October 23, 2017, signal failure occurred in the section from Jiaomen West Station to Huoqiying Station of subway Line 10, which affected the full line of two-way normal operation, large numbers of passengers were stranded at stations or forced to choose other means of transport. 1 Professional setup (continued) n At about 11 a.m on September 26, there is a signal failure on Beijing Subway Line 2, some trains were delayed. Many passengers were stuck in carriages and platforms. n Early in the morning of August 31, signal failure occurred at Pingguoyuan Station of Beijing Subway Line 1, train interval between Pingguoyuan Station and Sihui East Station increased, partial trains delayed. This caused passengers stranded in Beijing Subway Line 1, some stations enable traffic inbound measures. n In the evening of August 27, Beijing Subway Line 13 train (heading for Dongzhimen) was degraded at Guangximen Station due to on-board signal failure, the train spacing increased caused delay of partial trains. ． 1 Professional setup (continued) n Signal system is the command system of urban rail transit, which ensures the safety of train operation and improves the efficiency of running. With the rapid increase of passenger flow, the requirement of signal system becomes higher and higher. Failure of signal equipment will have a great impact on subway operation. Communication system is also an important means of urban rail transit operation and organization, its quality also greatly affects the quality of the rail transit operation. n Signal and communication posts must be filled with highly qualified personnel, so as to ensure the normal and high quality operation of subway. 1 Professional setup (continued) n In addition, according to post setting of Beijing Mass Transit Railway Operation Corporation Limited Communication & Signal Company and demands for urban rail transit communication signal system, the posts of the professional are set as: • Signalman Communication & signal professional • Communicator 1 Professional setup (continued) Major Profession Correspo Main occupational Main job category Occupational (Code) al nding category (or technical field) qualifications or (Code) category (Code) example vocational skill level (Code) certificate example Transportati Urban rail Road Rail transit 1.

Until recently, all TCT's projects had been limited to Beijing. Now, Chengdu Metro Line 3 has become the first metro line outside Beijing to have adopted TCT's CBTC speed trains, freight trains, technology. For TCT, this is big milestone as their domestic CBTC technology enjoys wider national attention. and other trains will also apply For passengers, the shift from a traditional control system to CBTC means shorter departure intervals between this system.” trains. With the traditional system, only one train at a time could enter a tunnel between stations, but now several trains can run at the same time in a tunnel with a safe distance between them. In terms of the huge traffic congestion, shorter departure intervals significantly increase the transport capacity of metro lines.

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.

  • Analysis and Evaluation of the Beijing Metro Project Financing Reforms
    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 291 International Conference on Management, Economics, Education, Arts and Humanities (MEEAH 2018) Analysis and Evaluation of the Beijing Metro Project Financing Reforms Haibin Zhao1,a, Bingjie Ren2,b, Ting Wang3,c 1Ministry of Transport Research Institute, Chaoyang, Beijing, China,100029; 2Beijing Urban Construction Design & Development Group Co., Limited, Xicheng, Beijing, China,100037; 3School of Civil Engineering, Beijing Jiaotong University, Haidian, Beijing, China, 100044. [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.

  • The Urban Rail Development Handbook
    DEVELOPMENT THE “ The Urban Rail Development Handbook offers both planners and political decision makers a comprehensive view of one of the largest, if not the largest, investment a city can undertake: an urban rail system. The handbook properly recognizes that urban rail is only one part of a hierarchically integrated transport system, and it provides practical guidance on how urban rail projects can be implemented and operated RAIL URBAN THE URBAN RAIL in a multimodal way that maximizes benefits far beyond mobility. The handbook is a must-read for any person involved in the planning and decision making for an urban rail line.” —Arturo Ardila-Gómez, Global Lead, Urban Mobility and Lead Transport Economist, World Bank DEVELOPMENT “ The Urban Rail Development Handbook tackles the social and technical challenges of planning, designing, financing, procuring, constructing, and operating rail projects in urban areas. It is a great complement HANDBOOK to more technical publications on rail technology, infrastructure, and project delivery. This handbook provides practical advice for delivering urban megaprojects, taking account of their social, institutional, and economic context.” —Martha Lawrence, Lead, Railway Community of Practice and Senior Railway Specialist, World Bank HANDBOOK “ Among the many options a city can consider to improve access to opportunities and mobility, urban rail stands out by its potential impact, as well as its high cost. Getting it right is a complex and multifaceted challenge that this handbook addresses beautifully through an in-depth and practical sharing of hard lessons learned in planning, implementing, and operating such urban rail lines, while ensuring their transformational role for urban development.” —Gerald Ollivier, Lead, Transit-Oriented Development Community of Practice, World Bank “ Public transport, as the backbone of mobility in cities, supports more inclusive communities, economic development, higher standards of living and health, and active lifestyles of inhabitants, while improving air quality and liveability.
