Research on Adjusting the Driving Direction of Tram Line 1 in Lijiang City
During the design phase of Lijiang Tram Line 1,the right side running system was adopted according to the urban rail transit standards.This scheme to some extent blocked the line of sight of passengers on the up train(tourist distribution center-Yulong Snow Mountain),reducing their riding and visual experience.In order to fully leverage the sightseeing characteristics of tourism rail transit,on the basis of analyzing the necessity of adjusting the driving direction,this paper adopts a simulation verification method to conduct a feasibility study on the left side driving of the Lijiang Tram Line 1 from the aspects of vehicle composition,operating route,train wiring,building scheme,equipment system,etc.The research results show that the adjustment schemes involved in the use of left side train operation on Line 1 are operable,but the wiring scheme and signal system of the entire line need to be renovated,with a renovation cost of about 13.58 million yuan and a parallel construction period of about 2 months.Due to the peak and off-season tourism season,Line 1 can be shut down during the off-season for renovation,in order to maximize the driving effect of Lijiang Tram Line 1 on the landscape.
