Review and Outlook on the Renovation of Shanghai's Urban Rail Transit Operational Lines
With the early opening of urban rail transit,Shanghai has been a forerunner in urban rail transit operating-line renovation in China.The experiences and lessons learned from Shanghai in operating-line renovations have reference value for other cities in China.First,the operating-line renovation process of the Shanghai urban rail transit was reviewed.Three main development trends indicate that the focus is on a gradual transition from individual conditions to overall conditions,that the renovation contents are gradually being diversified and systematized,and that the renovation demands that align with the development goals of the city and urban rail transit network are continuously deepening and expanding.Second,developing a renovation plan with systematic thinking,minimizing the impact on passengers while ensuring construction safety and quality during renovation,and active post-evaluation after renovation are summarized as the key points in the operating-line renovation of Shanghai urban rail transit.The difficulties in operating-line renovation of Shanghai urban rail transit were analyzed in terms of limited financial support,high-efficiency requirements for internal and external communication,challenges in project management,and insufficient technology.Important future works for operating-line renovations of Shanghai urban rail transit are discussed,including additional financing channels,research on improvement and innovation of construction plans and management mechanisms,deeper evaluation of the operational urban rail transit network,and the technology of non-closure renovation of underground stations without pre-reserved conditions.
