Optimizing Station Design for Urban Rapid Transit:A Case Study of the Jingxiong Express Line
Urban rapid transit emerges under the background of the development of the urban circle in China.This study uses the Jingxiong Express Line as an example to explore design standards for urban rapid transit stations that can be popularized.Such stations should have the advantages of both railway and urban rail as well as integrate with urban spatial patterns and urban comprehensive transportation systems.In this study,the characteristics and differences between traditional and urban rail stations are determined.Then,the study analyzes the functional positioning of each station of the Jingxiong Express Line,which is divided into major urban traffic nodes,city levels,and regional levels.In the face of passenger demand for rapid access to urban rapid transit,public transportation operations have been adopted to shorten travel times and provide efficient and convenient transfer and connection service levels.In the face of the wind pressure generated by high-speed trains,full-height platform doors were set up to isolate the track and passenger waiting areas,providing a comfortable waiting environment.Safe and reliable technical measures were taken to meet the requirements of the calculated wind pressure intensity.In the face of the uncertainty of the development of the metro area,the station type selection and overall layout are the conditions for the future expansion of urban rail lines.
