Analysis of the "Standard" Problem of Urban Rail Transit

Abstract

This paper deeply discusses the selection of "standard" of metro rail transit, aiming at analyzing the influence of different standard on the development of urban transit in metropolitan area and the existing problems. By means of literature review, industry norm analysis and actual case study, this paper compares the differences between the metro system and the national railway system in terms of operation efficiency, passenger experience, construction and operating cost, and discusses the adaptability of metro rail transit under different systems. It is found that the selection of metro rail transit system should consider many factors, such as urban planning, passenger flow demand, operation subject and technical platform compatibility. The conclusion points out that in order to promote the public transit operation of metro rail transit, it is necessary to break the barriers of technology platform, promote the integration of four networks, flexibly select operation subjects, improve the service level of metro rail transit, and better meet the convenient and efficient travel needs of residents in the metropolitan area.
