Research of urban rail transit network planning in suburban areas of strong center cities
To adapt to the distribution characteristics of resources in strong center cities,scientifically carry out network planning of urban rail transit in suburban areas,fully leverage the leading and driving role of network planning,the focused research has been innovatively carried out on the urban rail transit network planning in suburban areas of strong center cities.Firstly,clarify the concepts of strong center cities and suburban areas,and analyze the transportation demand characteristics of strong center cities and suburban areas;secondly,taking into account the advantageous location of the suburban area adjacent to the central urban area,the strong commuting demand between the suburban area and the central urban area,and the active internal travel,the key points of network planning are proposed from five aspects:planning scope,network scale,network framework,scheme comparison,and implementation planning;finally,taking Panyu district of Guangzhou municipality as an example,based on the prediction of transportation demand,a"#-shaped plus radiating"network framework is proposed,and combined with the city level network planning,a network planning scheme for Panyu district is proposed to solve the issue of traffic corridor congestion and lack of east-west channels between it and the central urban area,fully leveraging the functions of Panyu district in undertaking the population relocation of the center of the city,coordinating the development of Nansha new area,and serving as the gateway to Guangzhou Foshan co-city.Hopefully it could provide reference and inspiration for the urban rail transit planning work in the suburban areas of strong center cities in the future.
