Abstract:
To enhance the train transportation efficiency under this system and meet the operational needs of dynamic marshalling adjustment, an online marshalling technology for urban rail train control systems based on vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication is proposed, including flexible marshalling and virtual marshalling technologies. Firstly, the technical scheme and operation procedures for V2V-based virtual marshalling are established, and the core technologies under flexible marshalling are expounded, such as the setting of marshalling area parking points, determination of the vehicle-mounted control end, verification and protection of marshalling forms, collision envelope schemes, and vehicle- vehicle-mounted integration technology. Secondly, the technical scheme and operation procedures for the virtual marshalling function of V2V communication are established, and the core technologies under virtual marshalling are expounded, such as high-performance V2V communication technology, V2V communication security protection technology, collaborative control technology, multi-sensor fusion technology, etc. The results show that compared with the traditional CBTC marshalling technology, the the V2V-based marshalling technology reduces operational time by approximately 14 seconds and improves efficiency by about 34%. This study aims to provide a theoretical basis and reference for the marshalling technology operations of the next-generation train control system.

Abstract:
To investigate how urban express lines can achieve “rapid arrival” and enhance their service level and public transit attractiveness, this paper uses Chengdu Rail Transit Line 19 as a case study to examine key technologies in transportation organization oriented toward rapid arrival. Under Chengdu’s dual-airport configuration of “one city, two airports, ” the Chengdu Rail Transit Line 19, which achieves “30-minute rapid connectivity between dual airports, ” represents an exemplary case of rapid arrival for urban express lines. Facing a 66.7 km operating distance between the two airports and a composite functional positioning, Chengdu Rail Transit Line 19 innovatively adopts the following key train operation technologies to achieve rapid inter-airport connectivity: Completing the design of a “one-line separation and three-line through operation” scheme amongLines 17, 18, and 19 to ensure the feasibility of direct train service between the two airports; increasing the maximum operating speed of the urban AC A-type trains from 140 km/h to 160 km/h, thereby creating better conditions for 30-minute direct connectivity between the dual airports; maintaining high-speed operation of direct trains by increasing their passing speed through stations to 160 km/h and introducing No. 42 turnouts. Through a systematic review of these innovative technologies, this paper identifies five key design insights for achieving rapid arrival in urban express line transportation organization: Advance planning to ensure cross-line operation capabilities; unified scheduling of cross-line operating lines; new approaches to speed enhancement for urban A-type vehicles; favorable conditions for increasing express train passing speeds; and cautious introduction of No. 42 turnouts into underground projects.

Abstract:
To promote the coordinated development of urban rail transit with urban spatial layout, population and employment distribution, and public service facilities, this paper constructs a multi-dimensional (public transport accessibility level, PTAL) quantification model that integrates urban rail transit and conventional bus services based on a comprehensive urban transportation model. This model is used to systematically evaluate the public transport accessibility within the Dongguan metropolitan area. The study reveals that the current PTAL level in Dongguan is generally low, with average accessibility index ratios for the central urban area, sub-centers, economically strong towns, and ordinary towns recorded at 3.6:0.8:1.2:1. This indicates a spatial pattern characterized by “single-core polarization, small-scale decentralized clusters in peripheral areas, and homogeneous fragmentation in the remaining regions.” The findings highlight several issues, including a disconnect between public transportresource allocation and the polycentric structure, a lack of synergy between urban rail transit and bus services, and a mismatch between public transport resource provision and the distribution of population and employment. The research demonstrates that by establishing a network of urban rail transit express lines and strengthening public transport services in underdeveloped areas, the overall public transport accessibility in the metropolitan area could increase by 65.3%. Notably, sub-centers such as Songshan Lake and Binhaiwan could experience an improvement of up to 153.6%, significantly reinforcing the polycentric structure defined as “one primary center, two sub-centers, and six clusters.” Furthermore, optimizing bus connections at urban rail transit stations and coordinating the layout of public facilities can enhance the alignment between rail transit resources and the distribution of population and public services. Ultimately, this study provides technical support for establishing an integrated “rail transit+bus” system to advance polycentric development in Dongguan.

Abstract:
In response to ambiguities and inconsistencies in China’s evaluation standards for train-induced environmental vibrations in urban rail transit, which affect assessment conclusions, this paper adopts a combination of field measurements and statistical analysis to conduct a comparative study of current standards regarding evaluation indicators, weighting curves, analysis frequency ranges, and determination of train pass-by intervals. The main conclusions are as follows: it is recommended to establish both a time-frequency comprehensive evaluation indicator and a frequency-domain evaluation indicator. It is suggested to set the single-value evaluation indicator as the maximum vertical vibration level (VLzmax), the frequency-domain octave evaluation indicator as the maximum vibration level of 1/3 octave bands (VALmax), and adopt the peak value retention method in the calculation. The Wk weighting curve is suggested to be adopted and the analysis frequency range is recommended as 1~80 Hz. To effectively eliminate the influence of subjective factors in determining train passing periods on evaluation results, it is recommended to use time weighting for vibration signal analysis and the peak hold method for calculating VLzmax and VALmax.

Abstract:
In view of the limitations of the two-dimensional perspective of the traditional node-place model in complex urban environments, this study constructs a three-dimensional “node-place-vitality” model. With 41 stations of Jinan’s rail transit as the research subjects, a service radius of 800 meters around each station is demarcated. Twenty-four indicators are selected from three dimensions: traffic function (node), urban space (place), and dynamic vitality (vitality). The comprehensive subjective- objective weighting method and K-means clustering analysis are employed to evaluate the coordination of station areas. The results indicate that the three-dimensional model can effectively uncover the synergistic relationships among nodes, places, and vitality. Moreover, the stations are classified into five types: high-vitality hub stations, vitality-improvement stations, balanced- development stations, node-reinforcement stations, and comprehensive-cultivation stations. Their spatial distribution is highly associated with the development characteristics of Jinan’s main urban centers, sub-centers, and marginal areas. This research offers a scientific foundation for the optimization of Jinan’s rail transit station areas and the formulation of TOD strategies. Additionally, it provides a novel perspective for studies on the coordination of station areas in similar cities.

Abstract:
To address the critical issue of predicting the time-series passenger flow at subway stations, a novel hybrid deep learning method, AFT-K-GRU+, is proposed to provide more accurate decision support for subway operation and management. Leveraging the multi-scale temporal dependencies inherent in subway passenger flow data, the model innovatively integrates three core components: the attention-free transformer (AFT), the gated recurrent unit (GRU), and the KAN network. Specifically, the AFT module captures long-term periodic patterns in passenger flow data, the GRU module focuses on extracting short-term fluctuation characteristics, and the KAN network enhances the model’s expressive capacity. To enhance the robustness of the model’s predictions, this study innovatively designs a knowledge-driven correction controller based on residual feedback, which enables online self-correction of the output. Experimental validation using real-world card swipe data from Beijing subwaystations demonstrates that the AFT-K-GRU+ model effectively predicts station passenger flow, achieving mean error reductions of 25.3% and 18.7% compared to Transformer and LSTM methods, respectively. This model offers effective methodological support for subway operators, assisting management departments in passenger flow control and daily planning, thereby enhancing the operational efficiency and service quality of subway lines.

Abstract:
The horizontal alignment design of urban metro shield sections is prone to being constrained by dense structures and land use, which usually results in increased investment and demolition. An optimization model for dual horizontal alignments in metro shield tunnel sections is proposed, which takes the intersection points of the left line and the right line as independent variables. The specification requirements are transformed as geometric constraints, and penalty terms for land use under-passing and line spacing violations are introduced in the objective function. The model is solved by a collaborative differential evolution algorithm with separate populations for the left and right lines. The case study shows that the proposed model can optimize a 2.7 km horizontal alignment in approximately 150 seconds, reducing the total investment by approximately 0.3%. It automatically avoids control areas and guides the automatic parallel or separated design of horizontal dual lines in shield tunnel sections.

Abstract:
To address the high risks faced by metro systems due to their enclosed underground spaces, vulnerable facilities, and structural complexity amidst frequent rainstorm waterlogging, it is imperative to develop a scientific vulnerability assessment method for metro stations to enhance comprehensive resilience. Based on the chain analysis framework of the driver-pressure- state-response-control (DPSRC) model, this study systematically analyzes the dynamic causality of metro rainstorm waterlogging risks and constructs an assessment index system comprising 5 criterion layers and 20 indicator layers. By integrating subjective and objective weights using the AHP-entropy weight method, a comprehensive vulnerability assessment approach for metro stations was proposed and applied to an empirical analysis of 99 stations in the Ningbo Metro. The results indicate that: ① The proposed method can accurately and effectively assess station vulnerability; ② Stations vulnerabilities exhibit an asymmetric distribution across high (19.10%), medium (51.69%), and low (29.21%) vulnerability levels, with 70.79% of stations exposedto risk, highlighting an urgent need for systemic prevention and control; ③ Waterlogging prevention capacity, monitoring and early warning capabilities, and emergency equipment reserves constitute the key contributing factors to high-vulnerability stations. This research provides a reference for rainstorm waterlogging risk management, disaster prevention, mitigation planning, and resilient transportation development in urban metro systems.

Abstract:
In drill-and-blast tunnel construction, the geometric configuration and retained dimensions of the core soil directly influence tunnel settlement magnitude and surrounding rock stability. Traditional manual monitoring methods are inherently subjective, inefficient, and fail to meet real-time monitoring requirements. This paper proposes an automated core soil monitoring method based on an improved YOLO framework. By defining core soil feature points, a standardized annotation system is established. A lightweight detection model incorporating the Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM) is designed, effectively suppressing false detections caused by uneven illumination, dust interference, and blurred soil boundaries. Integrated with perspective geometry vanishing point prediction techniques, the VPTR model is employed for vanishing point detection and geometric constraints. This approach corrects perspective distortion errors in core soil cross-section shape calculation,ncorporates core soil dimensions and proportions into potential risk classification criteria. For engineering deployment, knowledge distillation and dynamic precision-switching techniques are adopted to enable lightweight operation on edge computing devices, supporting the real-time decision-making demands of “monitoring while excavating”.

Abstract:
To address the challenge of managing excessive deformation defects in operational shield tunnels in China, a comprehensive tunnel deformation correction technology system centered on the Radial Cement-Soil Pile Method for Correcting Excessive Tunnel Deformation has been developed. This system actively constructs a spatial network reinforcement body composed of horizontal, vertical, and inclined cement-soil piles in the soil outside the tunnel. It formulates an optimized construction sequence of “first constructing horizontal piles to restrict convergence, then constructing vertical piles to lift settlements, and finally constructing inclined piles to coordinate deformation” and adopts refined strategies such as graded pressure control to accurately apply correction forces. Meanwhile, based on the principle of minimum potential energy, a semi- empirical formula for predicting the single-ring lifting and convergence correction values has been derived, thereby forming a complete set of technical measures. This technology system has been applied and verified in a metro tunnel section in Northeast China. The results show that the Radial Cement-Soil Pile Method for Correcting Excessive Tunnel Deformation can synergistically correct settlement and convergence issues, effectively stabilize the post-construction settlement rate, and significantly improve leakage defects. The research results provide an innovative technical solution for the treatment of defects in operational shield tunnels and have reference value for similar engineering projects.

Abstract:
To investigate the dynamic impact of straddle-type viaduct construction on existing metro tunnels, this study takes the Wangsheren Station to Wangsheren North Station section of Jinan Metro Line 6 as the engineering background. Field tests and numerical simulations were conducted to systematically analyze the deformation patterns of tunnels under the multi-stage coupled effects of “pile foundation excavation, foundation pit unloading, and bridge superstructure loading.” The findings reveal that: (1) Foundation pit excavation induces significant tunnel uplift (maximum 4.62 mm), accompanied by horizontal contraction (maximum 1.74 mm) and vertical expansion (maximum 3.25 mm). After bridge loading, the tunnel subsides, with horizontal expansion and vertical convergence observed. (2) The clearance between the tunnel and foundation pit significantlyinfluences uplift deformation: as the clearance increases from 6.7 m to 20 m, the uplift decreases from 5.74 mm to 0.90 mm (approaching zero at ≥15 m), while subsidence remains stable at approximately 5.2 mm. A clearance of ≥12 m is recommended for risk mitigation. (3) Stratigraphic characteristics dominate deformation responses: silty clay layers exhibit greater uplift during excavation (+1.2 mm), whereas gravelly sand layers experience more pronounced subsidence during bridge operation (–1.5 mm). Deformations in moderately and slightly weathered rock strata are negligible. (4) Interval construction of multiple pile caps reduces subsequent excavation-induced uplift (with a 12% reduction for the second pile cap), supporting a “alternate excavation” construction strategy. Innovatively, this study proposes a deformation prediction model based on stratigraphic heterogeneity, which overcomes the limitations of traditional homogeneous assumptions and provides a theoretical foundation for optimizing the design and risk assessment of straddle-type viaduct projects.

Abstract:
To evaluate and mitigate risks to the structure of a metro station in a cobble stratum under rising groundwater, this study utilized the finite element method to develop a two-dimensional numerical model of a representative cross-section based on a Beijing subway station project. The model reasonably incorporates strength degradation induced by soil wetting and comprehensively examines the structural internal forces, displacements, and evolution of plastic zones within the ground in response to scenarios of groundwater level rise in gravelly deposits. The simulation results show that the base slab, roof slab and sidewalls, as the enclosure structure, all exhibit increased compressive stress on their soil-facing surfaces. The base slab and roof slab bear the horizontal stress from the sidewalls, thereby offsetting part of the mid-span bending moment and reducing the tensile stress. The intermediate slab and the central column, as intermediate supporting members, continue to perform their supporting function effectively. Notably, the slab-column and slab-wall connections are regions of stress concentration and therefore require particular attention to prevent structural cracking or damage caused by excessive stress. In a cobble stratum, both the stratum and station experience uplift, with the station’s uplift marginally surpassing the surrounding soil. Structural integrity remains unscathed without local deformation, thus indicating a relatively diminished risk of localized structural harm.The plastic zone is mainly concentrated in areas such as the bottom corners of the sidewalls and does not extend to the ground surface to form a rupture zone, indicating a low probability of overall instability.

Abstract:
To address the problems of aging and deformation of rubber boots, unsupported sleepers and gauge variation caused by long-term operation on existing elastic short-sleeper tracks, and to improve the stability and operational safety of the track structure, this paper proposes a novel treatment technology for unsupported defects in elastic short-sleeper tracks to overcome the low construction efficiency and insufficient repair precision of existing repair methods. This technology combines a novel high-flow repair material with a refined grouting process, enabling complete filling of gaps smaller than 1 mm. Off-site grouting tests verified the feasibility of the material and construction process, and the mechanical properties of the repaired elastic short-sleeper track were evaluated based on static stiffness and fatigue tests. The test results demonstrate that this treatment method effectively fills the unsupported areas and enhances the overall stability of the track structure. It is suitable for the rapid and efficient repair of existing tracks under time and space constraints and has good potential for engineering application.

Abstract:
Surface loading can cause certain deformations in subway tunnels, and excessive deformation will affect the safe operation of subway tunnels. To study the influence of asymmetric surface filling on variable-section subway tunnels, a finite element model of horseshoe-shaped and box-shaped tunnel structures was established based on the road backfilling reconstruction project above the side of a certain underground section of Shijiazhuang Metro. The surface settlement and tunnel stress-deformation patterns during road backfilling construction were analyzed and compared with field monitoring results for verification. Furthermore, the effects of parameters such as tunnel burial depth, loading magnitude, and loading dimensions on the underlying variable- section tunnel were discussed. The results show that: under asymmetric filling, the surface soil displacement field approximately exhibits a “V”-shaped settlement; the maximum surface settlements in the tunnel areas of horseshoe-shaped and box-shaped sections are 15.85 mm and 27.17 mm, respectively; tunnel structural deformation is dominated by vertical settlement with relatively small horizontal deformation; compared with the horseshoe-shaped section tunnel, the box-shaped section tunnel is moresignificantly affected by surface loading; the deformation of the tunnel at the intersection between the horseshoe-shaped and box-shaped sections shows a certain abrupt change, and cracking and water leakage issues in this junction area require close monitoring during construction; loading magnitude and loading range are positively correlated with tunnel vertical settlement, while the horizontal distance between the loading center and tunnel axis and tunnel burial depth are negatively correlated with tunnel vertical settlement; the loading range has a significant influence on the distribution range of tunnel settlement. When the tunnel burial depth exceeds 24 m or the horizontal distance between the loading centerline and tunnel axis exceeds 50 m, surface loading has almost no effect on tunnel settlement.

Abstract:
Because the operating conditions of urban rail transit systems are highly variable and load fluctuations are severe, traditional energy-saving methods based on static scenarios struggle to accommodate dynamic load demands effectively. Therefore, load scenarios must be accurately identified, and an energy-saving optimization method for flexible traction power supply systems is needed to achieve dynamic “scenario-strategy” matching and improve energy-saving performance. Accordingly, an energy-saving optimization approach for urban rail transit flexible traction power supply systems considering multiple load scenarios is proposed. First, a k-Medoids load clustering method based on t-SNE is designed. A strategy of clustering after dimensionality reduction is adopted to more accurately reflect the correlations between system load and operating periods and seasons. Second, an energy- saving optimization model for the flexible traction power supply system is constructed. Based on an intelligent optimization algorithm, the virtual resistance of traction substations is adjusted to minimize the total incoming energy of the system. Through simulation validation, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified. The proposed load clustering method effectivelyextracts the inherent characteristics of the load, reveals the correlation between system load and operating periods and seasons, and identifies six specific operating scenarios. The proposed energy-saving optimization method achieves good energy-saving performance in various operating scenarios, with a maximum energy-saving rate of 4.07%. The energy-saving optimization method for urban rail flexible traction power supply system based on load clustering has connected the complete chain of “scene recognition-strategy matching-dynamic adjustment”, which can provide important technical support for energy-saving operation of urban rail transit.

Abstract:
To address the problems of high energy consumption and lagging thermal environment regulation in traditional air- conditioning systems of metro stations, this study proposes a dynamic thermal environment management system integrating nature-like wind technology with spatially gridded monitoring, CFD pre-simulation, and equipment-linked control. In the reconstruction project of Nanhu Station of Nanning Rail Transit Line 1, 45 sensors were deployed to construct a gridded monitoring network, and the layout of monitoring points and fan positions was optimized based on CFD pre-simulation. A hierarchical control strategy centered on perceived temperature was developed to realize the intelligent linkage between air conditioners and nature-like wind fans, so as to achieve the energy-saving effect of the air conditioning system. The results show that when the ambient temperature rises to 29℃, the system enhances turbulent heat dissipation (wind speed 0.8–2.5 m/s), making the perceived temperature equivalent to 27℃; the PMV value drops to 0.8–1.2 (PPD≤19%), and the comprehensive energy-saving rate in the air conditioning season reaches 32.1%. The system provides a replicable technical pathway for the green renovation of metro stations.

Abstract:
To address the problem of insufficient operating speed caused by step-by-step setting coordination in traditional definite-time overcurrent protection for load-switch-based medium-voltage ring networks in urban regional railways, this paper proposes a fast protection method based on differential current. The fault section is identified using the fault characteristics of differential current, and the fault information is transmitted to the master station via the GOOSE network. The master station then controls the tripping of the outgoing circuit breaker at the substation to achieve rapid fault clearance. At the same time, the outgoing current of the substation is monitored. When the outgoing current drops below the preset threshold, a command is sent via the GOOSE network to control the tripping of the load switches on both sides of the fault section, completing the fault isolation. After fault isolation, the circuit breaker at the substation outgoing line and normally open point are closed to restore power supply to the healthy area. Simulation results show that under different fault types, locations, and transition resistances, the proposed method can achieve rapid protection operation and effective fault isolation, significantly improving protection speed and providing a reliable guarantee for the safe and stable operation of the load-switch-based medium-voltage ring network in urban regional railway systems based on load switches.

Abstract:
Due to the large quantity of equipmentin environmental control rooms, it is necessary to optimize the equipment layout to save space while guaranteeing normal maintenance. Therefore, an automatic spatial optimization approach is proposed to optimize the layout of central chiller plants. A repulsion model is adopted to quantify the rationality of equipment layout, which was regarded as the optimization objective. The differential evolution algorithm is utilized to adjust the equipment layout within a given space for the lowest optimization objective. Moreover, this approach repeatedly reduces the given space to minimize the space occupation of the central chiller plant. A real metro station environmental control room was taken as the case to verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach. Results indicate that the proposed approach reduced the occupied area of the equipment from 105 m2 to 100.1 m2, with reasonable equipment spacing maintained. Therefore, the proposed approach is able to optimize equipment layout for metro station environmental control rooms, thereby achieving room space saving and reasonable equipment spacing.

Abstract:
The index system dominated by key performance indicators (KPIs) has problems such as siloed fragmentation among departments, alienation of incentive functions, and insufficient process supervision. In the face of the era opportunities of smart urban rail construction and high-quality development, it is necessary to explore and design a new performance index system that can better help enterprises transform their strategic vision into an executable path. The mature objectives and key results (OKR) method is proposed as the core idea of optimization design. Guided by “departmental internal-control indicators– vertical alignment indicators–horizontal coordination indicators” and following the logical chain of “goal hierarchy–task quantification–closed-loop results”, the proposed system builds departmental internal-control indicators to strengthen process management, establishes strategic empowerment indicators aligned with departmental responsibilities to reinforce positive incentives, and introduces cross-departmental coordination indicators through a four-level linkage mechanism of “strategy– process–department–post.” Taking Shanghai Metro as the research object, this study designs a new indicator system, includingdepartment-level and field-level lists of “strategic objectives–key results–empowerment indicators”, as well as a list of cross- departmental horizontal coordination constraints. Since its trial implementation in December 2024, employees’ trust in the evaluation results has steadily increased. Organizations at all levels can not only easily trace key-result implementation processes and monitor progress, but also more efficiently identify the underlying causes behind observed problems and more promptly formulate targeted improvement measures.

Research on Key Technologies of Mechanized Shaft Construction in Urban Complex Strata
Abstract:
o address the issues of low efficiency, significant environmental disturbance, and difficulties in posture control in shaft construction in urban areas with dense buildings and limited space, this study proposes an innovative vertical mechanized construction technology centered on cutting-style shaft boring machines, prefabricated segment structures, and sinking construction methods. The effectiveness of this technology has been verified through its practical application in the No. 2 shaft project from Jingxi Road to Baiyun Dongping Section of Guangzhou-Huadu intercity rail. The engineering practice results indicate that the adoption of undrained excavation with cutting bits and prefabricated assembly technology inside the shaft has significantly reduced the construction difficulty of the retaining structure, minimized stratum disturbance, and improved construction efficiency. The shaft advance tunneling mode can effectively reduce stratum settlement and shear stress. The alternate tunneling mode is suitable for strata with good mechanical properties, while the synchronous tunneling mode is applicable to general strata (including those containing boulders), which can effectively restrain stratum settlement and deformation. Through the optimized design of the drum picks, drum grille and circulation system, the reconstructed shaft equipment demonstrates stronger adaptability under complex geological conditions such as boulder-bearing strata and high-strength rock formations. The research results can provide a reference for the optimization of shaft equipment and construction technology in similar soft-hard alternating granite composite strata.

Abstract:
When subway tunnels in South China and Southwest China pass through karst areas with developed caves, traditional cement-based grouting materials have high carbon emissions and poor adaptability to karst formations. Additionally, the disposal of solid wastes such as subway shield tunneling muck, slag, and fly ash remains a prominent challenge. This study aims to develop a full solid waste-based geopolymer grouting material to simultaneously address cave reinforcement and solid waste resource utilization.First, single-factor experiments were conducted to determine the optimal parameters of the geopolymer cementitious material: slag:fly ash = 7:3, alkaline activator modulus of 1.3, and alkalinity of 10%. Subsequently, orthogonal experiments were used to obtain the mix proportion of the full solid waste-based grouting material: engineering waste soil:geopolymer = 5:5, quicklime content of 1.5%, and water-to-solid ratio of 0.30. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) were employed to reveal the microscale mechanism, and field tests were carried out on the Shenzhen Metro Line 3.The results show that under the optimal indoor mix proportion, the material exhibits a 3-day unconfined compressive strength of 21.71 MPa and a 28-day strength exceeding 29 MPa. Microscopically, alkaline activation promotes the formation of a dual gel system of N-A-S-H/C-A-S-H, which wraps soil particles to form dense aggregates, leading to a significant reduction in the porosity of in-situ soil. In the field tests on Shenzhen Metro, the 28-day core-drilled strength of the material reaches 5.2 MPa, which is significantly higher than that of cement-based grouting materials, and the cave filling effect is excellent.This material can simultaneously consume subway shield tunneling muck and industrial solid wastes, providing a green and efficient solution for cave treatment in subway tunnels in urban karst areas, and possesses comprehensive environmental, economic, and engineering values.

Spatial Equity of Urban Rail Transit from the Perspective of Service Effectiveness
Abstract:
To address the weak coordination between equity and efficiency rail transit–oriented public transit systems, this study reframes efficiency from operator-oriented technical efficiency to user-oriented service effectiveness, and integrates equity and efficiency under the shared goal of improving residents’ welfare. An accessibility-based equity-efficiency spatial analysis framework is applied to Shenzhen. Results at the subdistrict scale indicate that accessibility in the rail transit–oriented system does not exhibit widespread extreme inequity, underscoring the rail network’s fundamental role in supporting spatial equity. However, the main challenge is the limited alignment between equity and efficiency at the level of service effectiveness. The six area types identified by the equity–efficiency matrix further suggest the need for differentiated, fine-grained optimisation within the existing rail backbone framework. Incorporating efficiency into equity analysis offers new insights for sustainable rail transit equity research.

Key Technologies Research on Cloud Signal System for Urban Rail Transit
Abstract:
With the rapid advancement of urban rail transit construction in China, the networked layout of lines has been continuously improved, and the demand for intelligent operation has been constantly rising. The shortcomings of the existing traditional signal systems in terms of resource utilization and flexible scalability have become increasingly prominent, making it difficult to adapt to the operational requirements of modern urban rail transit, such as high density, high reliability, and efficient operation and maintenance. Based on this, the core purpose of this study is to clarify the development path of the next-generation signal system empowered by cloud platforms, solve the application bottlenecks of traditional signal systems, and provide theoretical support and practical reference for the upgrading and iteration of urban rail transit signal systems. In the research process, a comparative analysis method is adopted to systematically sort out the architectural limitations and usage pain points of traditional signal systems, focus on analyzing the overall architectural composition of cloud-based signal systems, and propose targeted architectural design ideas and key technology application schemes for cloud-based signal systems in combination with the actual operational needs of urban rail transit.

Research on the Construction of Urban Rail Transit Service Guarantee Scheme for Large-scale Events
Abstract:
During large-scale sporting events, urban rail transit systems often face significant pressure in service guarantee, while current service guarantee plans commonly suffer from a lack of standardization, systematic integration, and are often rigid rather than flexible. To improve service guarantee effectiveness, this paper takes the Hangzhou Asian Games and the Chengdu FISU World University Games as case studies, employing a combination of case analysis and systematic research methods to conduct an in-depth analysis of event passenger flow characteristics and corresponding guarantee requirements. Based on this analysis, this paper proposes the construction of a structured guarantee system characterized by a “1 master plan + N special plans” framework with “static architecture + dynamic adaptation” features. It emphasizes maintaining a stable top-level design while dynamically adjusting parameters in special plans to achieve “one plan per day” dynamic adaptability. The study constructs a “passenger flow forecasting-driven, time-space-entity three-dimensional collaborative guarantee model” and designs a standardized four-step formulation process. This provides a theoretical reference and practical guidance for urban rail transit operation enterprises in China to develop scientific, systematic, and highly operable event service guarantee plans.

YANG Haijun, LI Wei, WU Chunhui, ZHANG Haifeng, GUANG Zhirui
Abstract:
Under high-density operating conditions, single-point failures in metro vehicle braking systems may escalate from equipment-level faults to operation-level risks. Taking an imported braking system applied in the Beijing Metro as a case study, this paper proposes a system-oriented analysis and optimization method for engineering implementation. Based on system decomposition, function–structure mapping, and on-site fault simulation, the propagation paths and amplification mechanisms of key risks—such as exhaust solenoid valve sticking, strong coupling between the main air line and the parking brake, and braking system–TCMS signal interface mismatches—are systematically identified.A combined Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) approach is then adopted to quantitatively evaluate these risks, with the results directly guiding system reconfiguration. Coordinated optimization measures are implemented at the software, pneumatic, and human–machine interaction levels, including an HMI-triggered braking system self-test and self-recovery mechanism, feedforward diagnosis of low brake cylinder pressure, reconstruction of the parking brake air supply using check valves, and an operation-oriented TCMS fault classification and early warning strategy. Multi-line on-site validation demonstrates that the proposed method improves single-point fault identification accuracy by over 34% and reduces emergency handling time by approximately 33%, significantly mitigating operational impacts. The established framework provides an engineering reference for resilience-oriented design and proactive risk management of metro braking systems.

Spatiotemporal Network-based Study on Passenger-Freight Joint Transportation in Urban Rail Transit
MENG Fanting, CHENG Rubing, LI Xiaojuan, WANG Keyang, GUO Rongge
Abstract:
The rapid urbanization in China has intensified the imbalance between urban freight demand and supply, which has led to pilot projects integrating express delivery services with urban rail transit systems. This study proposes a collaborative optimization model for passenger-freight co-transportation on urban rail transit lines by analyzing off-peak capacity redundancy and incorporating train carriage allocation and routing decisions for both passengers and freight within a space-time network framework. The bi-objective model, which minimizes passenger waiting time while maximizing transport revenue under capacity and flow balance constraints, employs the epsilon-constraint method to generate Pareto-optimal solutions for analyzing the trade-off between travel time and freight revenue. A case study of Beijing Metro Line 15 demonstrates the model"s effectiveness, showing a 33.68% improvement in transport efficiency and a 47.40% increase in operational revenue, validating its potential for practical implementation.

An Intelligent Train Control Method Integrating Large Language Models and Proximal Policy Optimization
Kai Gao, Li Zhu, Jia Miao, Lei Liu
Abstract:
With the advancement of intelligent urban rail transit, automated train operation faces inherent trade-offs between energy efficiency and punctuality, while dispatching regulations are predominantly expressed in natural language and thus difficult to incorporate directly into control modeling. To address these challenges, this paper proposes an automated train operation control method that integrates Large Language Models (LLMs) with Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO). The proposed approach employs an LLM to perform semantic parsing of dispatching rules and operational knowledge, and, under the constraints of a domain-specific knowledge graph, automatically constructs a Markov Decision Process (MDP) comprising the state space, action set, reward function, and safety constraints. Based on the generated MDP, a PPO-based policy optimization framework is developed, incorporating action masking and adaptive reward-weight adjustment to ensure safety while enabling multi-objective coordination. Simulation studies on a representative urban rail scenario demonstrate that the proposed method achieves superior performance in terms of energy efficiency, punctuality, and ride comfort compared with conventional rule-based control, model predictive control, and deep reinforcement learning approaches. The results indicate that combining LLM-based semantic modeling with reinforcement learning provides an effective and deployable solution for automated train operation in urban rail systems.

Active macro-micro performance regulation method of weakly expansive soils
LU Dechun, CAI Tao, GUO Fei, WANG Guosheng, JIANG Yu, DU Xiuli
Abstract:
Expansive soils, due to the water sensitivity and lattice swelling characteristics of clay minerals such as montmorillonite, are prone to significant shrinkage and swelling deformations, which seriously threaten the safety and stability of engineering structures such as tunnels, roadbeds and slopes. To address the issues of high energy consumption, high carbon emissions, and insufficient durability in traditional gel-based solidification technologies, this study proposes a method for active performance regulation of weakly expansive soils. By developing a new type of environmentally friendly stabilizer and a cement-lime composite regulation system, the macro- and micro-mechanical properties of weakly expansive soils are dynamically controlled, achieving an overall improvement in their mechanical properties, durability, and environmental performance. Based on a multi-scale experimental approach, it is revealed that the stabilizer, through mechanisms such as ion exchange, gel network formation, physical filling, and skeleton reinforcement, can actively regulate the soil"s microstructure and mechanical properties. The results show that the cement-lime-stabilizer composite system significantly enhances the mechanical properties and durability of weakly expansive soils. The core of this improvement lies in the directional filling of pores and the construction of a three-dimensional network structure by the gel substances at the microscopic level. This research provides theoretical support and a technical pathway for the green and efficient improvement of weakly expansive soils from a chemical-physical collaborative regulation perspective.

Adaptive embedding decomposition of rail corrugation based on conservation constraints and transient decoupling
Lu Bin, Zhang Jun, Wang Wenhao, Wang Wengang, Chen Xiaoying, Gong Xiao
Abstract:
To address the limitations of traditional rail corrugation detection methods—such as error accumulation in inertia-based techniques, environmental susceptibility in acoustic and vision systems, and the poor adaptability of data-driven models to nonstationary signals—this study proposes an adaptive embedded multiscale mode decomposition method (AE-MMD) based on conservation constraints and transient energy decoupling. The method constructs a phase-space embedding structure via singular value decomposition, introduces symplectic geometric constraints of Hamiltonian systems to preserve phase-space volume, and achieves structure-preserving mode separation through a joint screening mechanism guided by dominant frequency differences, energy-envelope constraints, and kurtosis modulation. To quantitatively evaluate the algorithmic performance, four metrics are defined: root-mean-square error (RMSE), correlation coefficient (CC), energy leakage rate (ELR), and symplectic preservation index (SPI). In synthetic-signal experiments, AE-MMD effectively separates three typical components—low-frequency modulation, high-frequency carrier, and transient impacts—with an RMSE of 0.2004, CC of 0.9994, ELR reduced to 0.06, and SPI maintained at 1.0. Compared with EMD and CEEMDAN, AE-MMD reduces energy leakage by approximately 68%. In the analysis of measured vibration data from a curved section of the Beijing metro, AE-MMD stably extracts key modal structures dominated by low-frequency slowly varying and modulation components, while mid- and high-frequency components mainly appear in weak and sparse forms. High-energy modes collectively account for approximately 75% of the total signal energy, indicating the method’s strong ability to concentrate energy and separate structural components under complex operating conditions.These results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves high-fidelity decomposition and transient-energy decoupling of nonstationary signals while preserving the underlying dynamical structure. AE-MMD thus provides a new theoretical and engineering framework for early corrugation detection, energy-transfer analysis, and optimization of maintenance strategies.

LIU tiesheng, YU yankun, LIANG junjie, SUN yuexin, HAO jingrong, JIANG chunlei
Abstract:
In order to achieve accurate and intelligent identification of metro rail corrugation, this study proposes a novel method combining WPD and 1DCNN to identify the rail corrugation. Based on the vertical axle-box acceleration signals collected from in-service metro trains, sixteen sub-band energy features were extracted through a four-level WPD and normalized to construct energy vectors. A lightweight 1DCNN architecture was designed to perform multi-scale feature learning using the energy vectors as inputs. Three corrugation types—no corrugation, shallow corrugation, and deep corrugation—were selected as classification labels for model training and testing. The results demonstrated that, the proposed method achieved an average recognition accuracy of 97.60%, with a recall rate of 100% for shallow corrugation. Compared with SVM, LSTM, and 2DCNN models, the 1DCNN model exhibited higher accuracy and stronger generalization capability. It enables intelligent rail corrugation detection under in-service operating conditions without reliance on specialized inspection systems. The consistency between the wavelength-domain evaluation framework of conventional rail corrugation testing and the identification results of this study was analyzed, and a complementary engineering application workflow integrating online identification with on-site precise measurement was proposed.This study verifies the effectiveness of the WPD-1DCNN fusion method in metro rail corrugation recognition and provides a new approach for online monitoring and intelligent maintenance of track conditions.

QI Bo, WANG Shengchun, QIAN Mingjun
Abstract:
To address the issues of low efficiency and resource waste in emergency bus bridging during sudden disruptions of a single metro line, this study proposes a collaborative optimization method integrating dynamic station screening and multi-source dispatching based on rough set theory. First, comprehensive station weights were quantified using rough set theory to identify high-priority stations for bridging services. Second, multi-source transport resources—including reserve buses from depots and in-service buses from regular routes—were integrated to establish a flexible scheduling network. A supplementary station mechanism was simultaneously introduced to mitigate short-term passenger overload risks through flow diversion. An integer programming model was developed with dual objectives: minimizing total emergency bus operating time and minimizing per capita passenger delay time. A hybrid Simulated Annealing Genetic Algorithm (SAGA) was designed for solution optimization. Empirical analysis was conducted using Xi"an Metro Line 5 as a case study. Results indicate that compared with the traditional all-station bridging approach, the proposed model reduces total bus operating time by 28.11% and decreases passenger delay time by 6.03%. When benchmarked against single-source emergency bus deployment, the multi-source strategy yields a 4.13% reduction in operating time and a 39.65% decrease in passenger delay time. This research provides scientific decision support and practical implementation frameworks for emergency bus bridging during urban rail transit disruptions.

WANG Lu, LIU Yanwen, ZHOU Kun, YAO Shuguang, ZHOU Minxin, TAN Jingwen
Abstract:
To address the issue of unpredictable damage to carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) rail vehicle components due to foreign object impact in the operational environment and to ensure their impact resistance, this study adopts a combined approach of high-speed impact tests and finite element simulation. The methods include: investigating the impact response of CFRP laminates at different impact velocities through high-speed impact tests; constructing a finite element model of the high-speed impact of a projectile on CFRP laminates, using the Chang-Chang failure criterion to simulate interlaminar failure, and verifying the model's accuracy through experiments; exploring the influence of different gradient impact velocities on damage and clarifying the impact response patterns; and simultaneously examining the effects of different projectile shapes and incident angles on energy absorption characteristics and damage morphology. The conclusions drawn are: CFRP laminates exhibit excellent energy absorption stability under high-speed impacts at different velocities; their damage modes are jointly regulated by velocity, projectile shape, and incident angle; the spherical-nosed projectile impact condition offers the best overall performance; and non-perpendicular impacts can enhance energy absorption rate by inducing deflection path damage.

Dynamic Distribution and Protection Methods of Stray Current with Deterioration of Regional Insulation of Running Rails
Abstract:
Stray current in urban rail transit has become a persistent issue affecting the safety of power supply systems and surrounding underground metal structures. As the scale of rail networks expands and operating years increase, the problem of stray current becomes increasingly prominent. When the deterioration of insulation in the running rail area occurs due to prolonged operation, the distribution and protection of stray current have become a key focus of system maintenance research. Therefore, this paper investigates the dynamic distribution of stray current and the sectional protection method during regional insulation deterioration. A dynamic operation simulation model of the urban rail power supply system under regional insulation deterioration is established, incorporating the characteristics of sectional protection control for comprehensive modeling. The dynamic distribution of stray current along the entire line during regional insulation deterioration is simulated and analyzed, and the control effect of sectional protection on stray current is studied. The results show that regional insulation deterioration leads to rail potential clamping and an increase in stray current in the affected area. Implementing sectional protection, which isolates return current outside the section and employs high insulation within the section, can significantly limit the amplitude of regional stray current. The proposed method can be applied to protect key sections of the line from stray current.

YANG Lianbao, MIAO Zhuangzhuang, XIE Xin
Abstract:
Urban rail transit equipment rooms are critical infrastructure components of urban rail systems, and the stable operation of their equipment directly impacts operational safety and efficiency. To address the limitations of existing intelligent inspection algorithms—such as weak feature extraction capabilities and poor adaptability to multi-source data in complex environments—this paper proposes an innovative intelligent inspection solution for urban rail equipment rooms based on large vision models. Specifically, we adapt large-scale pre-trained vision models to this high-value, niche application scenario, leveraging their powerful general-purpose feature representation and deep semantic understanding capabilities. Furthermore, we design a cloud-edge collaborative architecture: high-precision recognition and model iteration are performed in the cloud, while lightweight inference modules are deployed at the edge to enable real-time detection and fault early-warning. Validated on real-world data from the Dalian Metro Line 1 Dalian North Railway Station equipment room, the proposed method achieves an mAP@50 of 0.923 and an F1-Score of 0.916 in equipment status recognition tasks, outperforming mainstream approaches. Comprehensive cost analysis shows that the system incurs an average annual operating cost of approximately RMB 440,000, yielding an annual saving of RMB 460,000 compared to conventional manual and scheduled maintenance strategies, demonstrating both technical advancement and economic feasibility. This solution not only provides an efficient pathway for intelligent operations and maintenance of urban rail equipment rooms but also holds strong potential for extension to other scenarios such as metro tunnels and stations, thereby contributing to the development of a comprehensive intelligent operations and maintenance system covering entire lines, all equipment, and full-time monitoring.

Financial Sustainability of Urban Rail Transit with Varying Fare Strategies
DONG Shuyun, LIU Qian, YIN Wei, YAO Ruixiang
Abstract:
Under the current fare structure, urban rail transit enterprises face limited profitability, and the government is under heavy pressure to provide subsidies,and urban rail transit face significant challenges in financial sustainability. To increase ticket revenue, alleviate fiscal burden, and promote financial sustainability, this paper studies key issues including fare subsidy amounts, adjustment magnitudes, and implementation timing in various cities. By analyzing the domestic revenue and expenditure status of urban rail and comparing fare levels both domestically and internationally, the study reveals the difficulties faced by enterprises in achieving profitability under the government-led pricing model. This paper takes a certain urban rail transit project as an example, establishes a financial modeling framework, calculates the cost-plus fare based on industry average cost and average passenger volume, and proposes a method to define the responsibilities of the government and enterprises based on the cost-plus fare and industry average cost, thereby clarifying the amount of fiscal subsidy required. Further,using Beijing and Ningbo as case studies, the appropriate fare adjustment ranges and timing were explored by considering factors such as the financial capacity of each city, residents' income levels, subway traffic share rate, average travel distances, and traffic congestion. And differentiated fare adjustment strategies are proposed to achieve added value through differentiated services. Additionally, the paper suggests that the state should provide urban rail transit enterprises with high-quality operating assets and resource development policy support to enhance their self-sustaining capabilities and promote the internalization of external benefits. These measures provide a basis for cities to formulate fare adjustment and subsidy plans. The study emphasizes the importance of thoroughly evaluating the impact of fare adjustments on urban development, aiming to establish a fare system that balances enterprise sustainability, passenger affordability, government fiscal capacity, and urban development needs. Ultimately, the goal is to achieve the financial sustainability of urban rail transit.

Construction Method of Rail Transit Operation and Maintenance Knowledge Graph Based on Large Model
Cui Yulong, Wang Junyan, Chen Jinghao, Sun Kexin
Abstract:
This paper studies the construction method of rail transit operation and maintenance knowledge graph based on large language model (LLM). With the increasing demand for intelligent operation and maintenance, how to efficiently and accurately build high-quality operation and maintenance knowledge graph has become a key issue. Traditional knowledge graph construction methods rely on manual annotation and complex data preprocessing, which are inefficient and costly. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes an automated knowledge graph construction method based on large model. The method mainly consists of two parts: 1) Two prompts for rail transit operation and maintenance knowledge graph construction are designed, which are used for domain concept layer generation and data extraction respectively. Through the zero-shot capability of large language model, knowledge graphs that conform to RDF syntax are automatically generated; 2) A knowledge graph construction framework based on these prompts is constructed to convert metadata in the rail transit field into a complete RDF knowledge graph and support integration with existing knowledge graphs. Through experimental verification, the method proposed in this paper shows high accuracy and efficiency in the construction of rail transit operation and maintenance knowledge graph, and performs exceptionally well in low-frequency entity extraction tasks, showing promising application prospects. This method can not only effectively support the operation and maintenance decision-making of the rail transit industry, but also provide strong technical support for the automatic construction of knowledge graphs in other fields. Rail transit operation and maintenance knowledge graph can provide intelligent support for rail transit operation and maintenance, reduce reliance on human experience, enhance response speed and decision-making quality in maintenance, and holds significant engineering application value and promotion significance.

Xia Xisheng, Yang Lijun, Liu Hongjie, Tang Tao, Li Yang, Yu Haoyang
Abstract:
Against the background of the development of autonomous train operation and virtual coupling, the traditional independent design of vehicle and signaling systems and the distributed control system adopted on the vehicle side have led to problems such as lengthy on-board ATO control links, large response delays, and low control accuracy. This paper proposes a deceleration closed-loop control method based on multi-system integration. In the research process, firstly, a hardware platform and software architecture integrating vehicle control and signaling control functions are designed; secondly, based on this platform, the functional redistribution of the entire process of train automatic operation control is carried out, and the core links such as ATO control, traction/braking force collaborative distribution, and closed-loop control are deeply integrated to reconstruct the control closed-loop; finally, the effectiveness of the method is verified through on-board tests. The test results show that the system can significantly reduce braking response delay and effectively improve the accuracy of braking and stopping control. The research results provide key technical support for the intelligent and autonomous operation of trains in the future.

Study on Parameter Inversion of the HSS Constitutive Model Based on GA-BP Neural Network
CHEN Junchi, LIU Bo, LI Yongzhi, HE Wencheng, YANG Kai, YAN Qixiang
Abstract:
To improve the engineering applicability of the hardening soil model with small-strain stiffness (HSS) in numerical analysis of deep excavations for urban rail transit, this study proposes a parameter inversion method combining genetic algorithm (GA) optimization with a back propagation (BP) neural network. A numerical model of a deep excavation, considering the interaction between multilayered soil strata and the retaining structure, is established. Lateral displacement samples are generated through numerical simulations based on uniformly designed parameter sets. Subsequently, a nonlinear mapping between excavation deformation response and key stiffness parameters of the HSS model is constructed by optimizing initial weights and thresholds of the BP neural network using GA. The method is applied to a deep excavation project at a metro station in Chengdu, and inversion results are validated against field monitoring data. Results indicate that the proposed approach can accurately predicts excavation deformations, with numerical outcomes closely matching monitored data and a maximum relative error below 6.3%. The results can provide a reference for selecting HSS constitutive model parameters and predicting deformations in deep excavations under complex geological conditions.

Research on optimization of crack regulation design parameters of subway tunnel lining
DUAN Xing-ming, ZHANG Zi-hao, YOU Dong-mei, HUI Qiang, CHEN HANG-LING
Abstract:
To address the issue of crack defects in subway tunnel linings, a safety evaluation criterion based on fracture mechanics is proposed, utilizing the crack tip stability coefficient as an indicator for the structural integrity of cracked linings. Taking the crack remediation project in the Xiaoshizi–Jiaochangkou section of Chongqing Metro Line 1 as a case study, a three-dimensional finite element model was established to obtain the stress intensity factor, crack tip stability coefficient, and mechanical characteristics of the reinforcement materials for each concrete lining structure. Steel belts and steel arch frames were used as reinforcement methods, and the parameters were optimized for the thickness, width, longitudinal spacing of the steel belts, and the model and longitudinal spacing of the steel arch frames. The results indicate that: (1) The crack tip stability coefficient effectively characterizes the tendency of crack propagation. When the coefficient exceeds 1, the crack remains stable, ensuring the safety of the lining structure; conversely, when the coefficient is less than 1, crack propagation occurs, leading to potential instability and safety hazards. (2) Increasing the thickness and width of the steel strips and upgrading the type of steel arches significantly reduce the stress intensity factor, with the crack tip stability coefficient rising from 7.88, 7.25, and 4.78 to 12.81, 15.09, and 13.96, respectively, thereby markedly enhancing the overall stability of the lining. In contrast, increasing the longitudinal spacing of both steel strips and steel arches elevates the stress intensity factor, causing the crack tip stability coefficient to decrease from 14.05 and 5.98 to 3.68 and 1.64, respectively, which diminishes the overall reinforcement effectiveness.

Cultural Characteristics and Vitality of Metro Station Names in Chengdu
Rong Junjie, Xie Ping, Wan Long, Lan Yutong, Hu Yanlan
Abstract:
Addressing the lack of systematic quantification of the cultural functions of metro station names, this study develops an integrated evaluation framework that combines toponymic classification, spatial analysis, and POI‐based big-data mining. Using Chengdu as a case, we assess cultural expression, spatial configuration, and contemporary vitality of 364 station names. The toponymic analysis shows that Chengdu’s metro nomenclature synthesizes multiple cultural lineages—Shu civilization, the Three Kingdoms, water engineering, marketplaces, traditional commerce, and migration—forming a diversified cultural atlas. Kernel density analysis reveals that cultural station names are clustered in the central city yet exhibit a weak spatial correspondence with high-density zones of historical place names. POI-based vitality metrics indicate that cultural station names are, on average, more vibrant, while a non-negligible subset associated with important historical memories displays markedly lower vitality. The proposed framework quantitatively surfaces the risk of cultural memory marginalization and provides an operational, data-driven basis for shifting urban governance from passive name retention to proactive cultural asset activation. The approach is transferable to other cities undergoing rapid urbanization, enabling comparative audits of how metro naming mediates between heritage transmission and contemporary urban dynamics.

Track geometry extraction method based on point cloud fine model
LI Haiyan, SI Jiangmin, WEI Guanjun, WU Zhicai
Abstract:
To address the challenges in extracting track geometry parameters, this paper proposes a method based on a refined point cloud model. First, the point cloud data is optimized using mesh upsampling and an improved farthest point sampling (FPS) method to obtain data better suited for model reconstruction while ensuring uniformity and feature integrity. Next, an enhanced greedy projection triangulation algorithm is applied to construct the track model. Finally, track geometry information is extracted from the refined model. The experimental results show that: In the orbit model constructed after optimization by the proposed method, the proportion of triangular mesh point angles between 50 and 70 degrees increases from 66.25% to 81.03%, the information entropy of the orbit model increases from 2.7992 to 3.3219, and the Hausdorff distance from point to plane decreases from 0.9037mm to 0.7564mm. The proposed method is proved to be highly accurate and reliable in model reconstruction. When track model is used to extract track information, the overall trend error of a single track is 0.2mm, and the average error of track spacing is 0.61mm. These results validate the feasibility of using the refined model for track geometry extraction, providing reliable data support for future track deformation monitoring and digital twin applications in rail environments.

Abstract:
This study addresses the challenge of balancing vehicle turnover efficiency, train load factors, and operational economy in cross-line operations from the perspective of urban rail transit operation enterprises. It constructs a multi-dimensional collaborative optimization model with the core objective of minimizing operational train-kilometers. Focusing on the economic optimization of spatiotemporal resource allocation, the model integrates key elements such as timetable scheduling, turnaround operations, depot plans, and cross-line sequencing. It innovatively establishes a linkage constraint mechanism between the maximum headway and passenger flow load factor to achieve coordinated management of operational costs and service reliability. To enhance solution efficiency, the Fast Solution Algorithm for Engineering-Cross Line Operation (FSAE-CLO) is proposed, which employs an iterative probability optimization framework to compress the solution space. An empirical study using the morning peak hours of Beijing's Fangshan Line and Line 9 demonstrates that, compared to the single-line operation mode, the proposed scheme reduces train-kilometers by 6.83%. Furthermore, it achieves an additional 4% reduction in operational mileage and a 24% shortening of solution time compared to a genetic algorithm. This research provides theoretical methods and practical engineering support for enterprise-level cross-line operations, and its resource coupling optimization mechanism offers significant reference value for enhancing the efficiency of network-wide operations.

Abstract:
It is a significant challenge for space optimization in subway station environmental control rooms driven by cost-efficiency objectives. Due to the limited space of the metro station, the environmental control equipment room usually contains multiple equipment of the system, which leads to the challenge of reasonable layout. To effectively utilize the space of the environmental control equipment room, an auto-optimization approach is proposed in this article to optimize the layout of central chiller plants. A repulsion model is adopted herein to quantify the rationality of equipment layout, which is regarded as the optimization objective. Differential evolution algorithm is utilized herein to adjust the equipment layout within a given space for the lowest optimization objective. Moreover, this approach repeatedly reduces the given space to minimize the space occupation of the central chiller plant.

Research on Fast Protection and Fault Isolation Method for Medium-Voltage Ring Network in Urban Region Railway Based on Load Switches
Abstract:
In response to the problem of insufficient speed caused by step-by-step coordination in traditional time-limit overcurrent protection for medium-voltage ring networks of urban region railway based on load switches, this paper proposes a fast protection method based on differential current. The fault section is identified by using the fault characteristics of differential current, and the fault information is transmitted to the master station via the GOOSE network. The master station then controls the tripping of the outgoing circuit breaker at the power distribution station to achieve rapid fault clearance. At the same time, the outgoing current of the substation is monitored. When the outgoing current drops below a threshold, a command is sent via the GOOSE network to control the tripping of the load switches on both sides of the fault section, completing the fault isolation. After fault isolation, the circuit breaker at the substation outgoing line and the open loop point are closed to restore power supply to the healthy area. Simulation results show that under different fault types, locations, and transition resistances, the proposed method can achieve rapid protection operation and effective fault isolation, significantly improving protection rapidity and providing a reliable guarantee for the safe and stable operation of the medium-voltage ring network in urban region railway systems based on load switches.

Analysis of Differential Deformation Characteristics in Variable Cross-Section Metro Tunnels Induced by Asymmetric Backfill Loading
Abstract:
Surface surcharge can induce certain deformations in metro tunnels, and excessive deformation may compromise the safe operation of the tunnel. To investigate the impact of asymmetric surface fill on variable cross-section metro tunnels, this study takes a road backfilling and reconstruction project adjacent to an underground section of Shijiazhuang Metro as the background. Finite element models of both horseshoe-shaped and rectangular (box-shaped) tunnel cross-sections were established to analyze ground surface settlement and the deformation and stress characteristics of the tunnel structure during road backfilling construction. The numerical results were validated against field monitoring data. Furthermore, the influences of key parameters—including tunnel burial depth, surcharge magnitude, and surcharge dimensions—on the underlying variable cross-section tunnel were systematically examined. The main findings are as follows: (1) Under asymmetric surcharge loading, the displacement field of the ground surface approximately exhibits a “V”-shaped settlement profile. The maximum surface settlements above the horseshoe and box tunnel sections are 15.85 mm and 27.17 mm, respectively. Tunnel deformation is predominantly vertical, with relatively minor horizontal displacement. Compared to the horseshoe-shaped tunnel, the box-shaped tunnel is more significantly affected by surface surcharge. (2) A noticeable discontinuity in deformation occurs at the junction between the horseshoe and box cross-sections, indicating that cracking and water leakage at this transition zone require close monitoring during construction. (3) The magnitude and extent of surcharge are positively correlated with tunnel vertical settlement, whereas the horizontal offset between the surcharge centerline and the tunnel axis, as well as tunnel burial depth, are negatively correlated with settlement. The surcharge width significantly affects the spatial distribution of tunnel settlement. When the tunnel burial depth exceeds 24 m or the horizontal offset between the surcharge centerline and the tunnel axis exceeds 50 m, the influence of surface surcharge on tunnel settlement becomes negligible. These findings provide valuable references for similar engineering projects.

Research on coordination evaluation of Jinan rail transit stations and regions from the perspective of “node-place-vitality” three-dimensional model
ZHAO Jinbao, ZHOU Qi, ZHOU qi, HOU Keke, LI Mingxing, LIU Wenjing, JIANG Jiawei
Abstract:
In view of the limitations of the two-dimensional perspective of the traditional node-place model in complex urban environments, this study constructs a three-dimensional "node-place-vitality" model. With 41 stations of Jinan"s rail transit as the research subjects, a service radius of 800 meters around each station is demarcated. Twenty-four indicators are selected from three dimensions: traffic function, urban space, and dynamic vitality. The comprehensive subjective-objective weighting method and K-means clustering analysis are employed to analyze the coordination of station areas. The results indicate that the three-dimensional model can effectively uncover the synergistic relationships among nodes, places, and vitality. Moreover, the stations are classified into five types: high-vitality hub stations, vitality-improvement stations, balanced-development stations, node-reinforcement stations, and comprehensive-cultivation stations. Their spatial distribution is highly associated with the development characteristics of Jinan"s main urban centers, sub-centers, and marginal areas. This research offers a scientific foundation for the optimization of Jinan"s rail transit station areas and the formulation of TOD strategies. Additionally, it provides a novel perspective for studies on the coordination of station areas in similar cities.

Research on the Equity of Bike Sharing Use in Metro Catchments:A Case of Shenzhen
GUO Yuanyuan, TANG Fengliang, zhang runbin, ZHANG Longhao
Abstract:
With the increasingly prominent role of bike sharing in the "last mile" of urban transportation, the issue of service equity has attracted extensive attentions. Based on the data of shared bike usage and passenger flow of metro stations in Shenzhen in August 2021, this research evaluates the equity characteristics of bike sharing services in Shenzhen metro catchments (within the range of 15-minute cycling circle) and analyzes its spatial pattern and time differences. By constructing two types of indicators, namely the Gini coefficient of per capita bicycle use, and the Gini coefficient of supply and demand matching, the imbalance in the use of bike sharing in space and crowd was quantified. A higher Gini coefficient indicates a greater degree of inequity across spatial and demographic dimensions. The results show that there is a certain inequity in the use of shared bicycles in Shenzhen, and there are significant differences in different time and space. The distribution of shared bicycle use in the central urban area is relatively balanced, and the use of bicycles in the suburban new city is highly concentrated. Some metro lines (such as those connecting the central urban area and the outer new towns) have significantly lower levels of bicycle use fairness than those in the central area. Bike sharing usage is closer to the distribution of commuting demand during the morning and evening rush hours on weekdays, while there is a mismatch between supply and demand during weekends. Finally, based on the results, this paper raises targeted recommendations for optimizing the layout and scheduling of bike sharing in metro catchments to improve the equitable accessibility of metro shuttle bike services.

ZHU Jiangyong, ZHAO Xiaodong, WANG Yudong, SUN Peng, CHEN Mijie, LI Xiang
Abstract:
Regarding the current situation where there is no unified industry standard for urban rail maintenance robot data collection schemes, the cycle for robots to obtain effective train component image data is relatively long, and the types of component image data acquired are limited, making it difficult to effectively identify train air leakage and abnormal temperature faults.This paper discusses the research on the multi-dimensional data acquisition scheme of urban rail maintenance robots to improve the deployment efficiency of robot projects and obtain multi-dimensional fault data types. In the fixed trench of the subway maintenance garage, taking the 6-group B-type cars with different car numbers as an example, the multi-dimensional train data acquisition scheme construction test was carried out by using the end camera, acoustic camera and thermal imaging camera of the robotic arm, and the multi-dimensional data acquisition scheme was theoretically guided by the safety of on-site personnel and equipment as the benchmark, and the overall deployment efficiency of the overhaul robot and the final imaging effect of the camera were taken as the evaluation criteria.The experimental results show that after the construction of the multi-dimensional data acquisition scheme, the type of fault data that can be detected is increased by 2 times, the number of detectable items is greatly increased, the data acquisition cycle of 6-group vehicles under the same trench is shortened by about 50%, and the proportion of unreasonable image data collected by the terminal camera is reduced to 5.25%. Collaborative verification of multi-dimensional camera data effectively prevents fault misidentification. It provides data reference for the promotion of maintenance robots in the field of smart urban rail.

Research on Tunnel Core Soil Monitoring Technology Leveraging YOLO-Based Visual Recognition?
Abstract:
In drill-and-blast tunnel construction, the geometric configuration and retained dimensions of the core soil directly influence tunnel settlement magnitude and surrounding rock stability. Traditional manual monitoring methods are inherently subjective, inefficient, and fail to meet real-time monitoring requirements. This paper proposes an automated core soil monitoring method based on an improved YOLO framework. By defining core soil feature points, a standardized annotation system is established. A lightweight detection model incorporating the Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM) is designed, effectively suppressing false detections caused by uneven illumination, dust interference, and blurred soil boundaries. Integrated with perspective geometry vanishing point prediction techniques, the VPTR model is employed for vanishing point detection and geometric constraints. This approach corrects perspective distortion errors in core soil cross-section shape calculation, incorporates core soil dimensions and proportions into potential risk classification criteria. For engineering deployment, knowledge distillation and dynamic precision-switching techniques are adopted to enable lightweight operation on edge computing devices, supporting the real-time decision-making demands of "monitoring while excavating".

Experimental Evaluation of Mechanical Properties and Vibration Damping Performance of Steel Spring Floating Slab Isolation Systems for Existing Subway
WANG Ruiji, YU Huali, TIAN Zhiyong, LI Chaohua, HUANG Wenbo, LIAO Yujie
Abstract:
To investigate the mechanical and vibration damping performance of existing subways after a certain period of operation and evaluate their continued service capability, this study focuses on the floating slab system of Chongqing Rail Transit Line 1 after eight years of operation. Through train vibration testing, the natural frequency and damping ratio of the current floating slab system were measured and analyzed. Vibration damping performance tests were conducted on both floating slab tracks and conventional tracks to compare their vibration damping effects. Furthermore, steel spring isolators were extracted for fatigue testing to investigate how isolator stiffness, damping ratio, and height change under fatigue loading. Results indicate that the natural frequency and damping ratio of the current floating slab system's remain within reasonable ranges. Compared to conventional tracks, the floating slab track absorbs substantial vibration energy by increasing its own vertical acceleration, thereby reducing vibration interference from subway operations to the environment and meeting vibration reduction requirements. During 3 million fatigue cycles, changes in isolator stiffness, damping ratio, and height remained below specification limits. No cracks were observed in the steel springs or sleeve welds, and no leakage occurred in the damping material. Comprehensive evaluation indicates that the mechanical and vibration damping performance of this floating slab system continues to meet design requirements, suggesting they can continue to operate reliably and possess a prolonged service life.

LI Changlong, YANG Xiaoxia, ZHANG Guoqing, CUI Chunyue, WAN Jiahui
Abstract:
To address the critical challenge of predicting passenger flow at subway stations, this study introduces a novel hybrid deep learning method, AFT-K-GRU, designed to enhance decision-making support for subway operations management. Leveraging the multi-scale temporal dependencies inherent in subway passenger flow data, the model innovatively integrates three core components: the Attention-Free Transformer (AFT), Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), and Kolmogorov-Arnold Network. Specifically, the AFT module captures the long-term periodic patterns in passenger flow data, the GRU network focuses on extracting short-term fluctuation characteristics, and the Kolmogorov-Arnold Network serves as a nonlinear mapping layer, replacing traditional fully connected networks to enhance the model"s expressive capacity. Experimental validation using real-world card swipe data from Beijing subway stations demonstrates that the AFT-K-GRU model effectively predicts station passenger flow, achieving error reductions of 14.4% and 16.0% compared to GRU and LSTM methods, respectively. This model offers effective methodological support for subway operators, assisting management departments in passenger flow control and daily planning, thereby enhancing the operational efficiency and service quality of subway lines.

Optimization Strategy of Polycentric Urban Rail Transit System Based on PTAL Model——A Case Study of Dongguan City
Abstract:
To promote the coordinated development of urban rail transit with urban spatial layout, population and employment distribution, and public service facilities, this paper constructs a multi-dimensional PTAL quantification model that integrates urban rail transit and conventional bus services based on a comprehensive urban transportation model. This model is used to systematically evaluate the public transport accessibility within the Dongguan metropolitan area. The study reveals that the current PTAL level in Dongguan is generally low, with average accessibility index ratios for the central urban area, sub-centers, economically strong towns, and ordinary towns recorded at 3.6:0.8:1.2:1. This indicates a spatial pattern characterized by "single-core polarization, small-scale decentralized clusters in peripheral areas, and homogeneous fragmentation in the remaining regions." The findings highlight several issues, including a disconnect between public transport resource allocation and the polycentric structure, a lack of synergy between urban rail transit and bus services, and a mismatch between public transport resource provision and the distribution of population and employment.The research demonstrates that by establishing a network of urban rail transit express lines and strengthening public transport services in underdeveloped areas, the overall public transport accessibility in the metropolitan area could increase by 65.3%. Notably, sub-centers such as Songshan Lake and Binhaiwan could experience an improvement of up to 153.6%, significantly reinforcing the polycentric structure defined as "one primary center, two sub-centers, and six clusters." Furthermore, optimizing bus connections at urban rail transit stations and coordinating the layout of public facilities can enhance the alignment between rail transit resources and the distribution of population and public services. Ultimately, this study provides technical support for establishing an integrated "rail transit + bus" system to advance polycentric development in Dongguan.

Optimization Strategies for Small-radius Curves at Platform Ends
liangchuangjia, 任祥, QIU Gangyuan
Abstract:
With the rapid urban development and the advancement of urban rail transit construction, the routes of newly built rail transit projects are becoming increasingly complex. The phenomenon that the transition curve intrudes into the end of the effective platform at the stations in the central urban area is inevitable. Aiming at the problem that the excessively long intrusion length of the transition curve into the effective platform restricts the maximum speed limit of the curved route, in order to improve the train operation speed and shorten the whole-line travel time, this study deeply analyzes the influencing factors of the intrusion length of the transition curve into the effective platform, as well as the allowable intrusion length. On this basis, three innovative optimization schemes are proposed to increase the curve superelevation, and thus improve the maximum speed limit of the curved route. These schemes are respectively: setting the superelevation gradient rate of the transition curve in sections, reducing the length of the transition curve, and reducing the curve radius. Through comprehensive comparison and analysis, and combined with practical engineering cases, the conclusion is drawn that: under the premise of meeting the specification requirements, the scheme of reducing the curve radius is preferentially recommended; while in the sections where the engineering conditions are limited, the schemes of setting the superelevation gradient rate of the transition curve in sections and reducing the length of the transition curve can be considered.

Research on dynamic warning system for anti floating failure of subway structures
Liang Zhongdong, Li Zhibin, Guan Qifeng, Zhang Yue, Shan Yepeng, Cai Guoqing
Abstract:
Groundwater level fluctuation is crucially linked to the stability and safety of subterranean constructions. This paper utilises the descriptive statistics methodology to categorise the underground infrastructure in Beijing. The theory of combining the effective stress method based on absorption stress and Mohr-Coulomb model is applied to construct a numerical model in order to analyse the pattern of structural stress and displacement. Ultimately, the numerical simulation database is composed, and the dynamic early warning system of anti-floating failure is established. The findings indicate that: The numerical simulation database has a broad range of applications and can accurately demonstrate the decline in base bearing capacity post-water level rise. Building dynamic warning indicators for anti-floating failure using the numerical simulation database enables an integrated reflection of the structural stress and displacement patterns. To ensure the safety of tunnel structures and passengers in the face of changing groundwater levels, a standard of judgement and safety warnings must be established. The water relief and decompression method should be used as a warning response, with pressure relief serving as the primary action for early warning response. This approach enhances the effectiveness of early warnings. This warning system has the potential to establish a robust technical basis for proposing strategic measures to sustainably develop major metro projects. It holds crucial academic and practical value for ensuring the secure operation and maintenance of metro projects.

Vulnerability Assessment Method for Metro Stations to Rainstorm Waterlogging Based on the DPSRC Model
Abstract:
To address the high risks faced by metro systems due to their enclosed underground spaces, vulnerable facilities, and structural complexity amidst frequent rainstorm waterlogging, it is imperative to develop a scientific vulnerability assessment method for metro stations to enhance comprehensive resilience. Based on the "driver-pressure-state-response-control" chain analysis framework of the DPSRC model, this study systematically analyzes the dynamic causality of metro rainstorm waterlogging risks. An assessment index system comprising 5 criterion layers and 20 indicator layers was constructed. By integrating subjective and objective weights using the AHP-entropy weight method, a comprehensive vulnerability assessment approach for metro stations was proposed and applied to an empirical analysis of 99 stations in the Ningbo Metro. The results indicate that: ①The proposed method can accurately and effectively assess station vulnerability; ②Stations vulnerability exhibit an asymmetric distribution across high (19.10%), medium (51.69%), and low (29.21%) vulnerability levels, with 70.79% of stations exposed to risk, highlighting an urgent need for systemic prevention and control; ③Waterlogging prevention capacity, monitoring and early warning capabilities, and emergency equipment reserves constitute the key contributing factors to high-vulnerability stations. This research provides a reference for rainstorm waterlogging risk management, disaster prevention, mitigation planning and resilient transportation development in urban metro systems.

YUAN Ye, SHI Lingyuan, YANG Xin
Abstract:
To address train rescheduling and speed management under disruptions for urban rail transit, this study constructs a mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model with decision variables including train running times, acceleration times, extra dwell time and disruption impact status, aiming to minimize train traction energy consumption and terminal arrival delay times, thereby enabling rapid optimization of train rescheduling and energy-efficient speed profiles and ensuring the safe and stable operation of urban rail transit systems. Considering the quadratic non-convex constraints in the model, we reformulate the MINLP into a mixed integer quadratic programming (MIQP) model through Taylor approximation method, enabling effective solutions via commercial solvers. Utilizing operational data from Beijing Subway Yizhuang Line, numerical experiments validate the effectiveness of the MIQP in reducing train terminal delay time and traction energy consumption. This research provides theoretical foundations for rail transit operators to optimize train dispatching and operational control during disruptions.

Research on the Intelligent Dispatching Decision Generation Model for Urban Rail Transit Based on Eventic Graphs
Abstract:
To address the challenges in urban rail transit emergency response, such as over-reliance on manual experience, poor dynamic adaptability, and low efficiency in decision-making. This paper proposes a generation model for emergency decision-support that integrates a predicate-centric event representation framework with an Event Evolution Graph-RAG architecture. The core innovation lies in employing non-static triggers to structure emergency disposal processes, surpassing static knowledge graphs. Through strategies like information-group situational assessment and a two-stage “event-situation” query rewriting, the model enhances traditional RAG with improved logical comprehension of event chains, thereby producing more operable and context-aware emergency decisions. Evaluated via decision compliance rate, generation time, and efficiency improvement. Experiments show that the proposed model achieves 84.74% accuracy in decision logic and raises efficiency by 57.14% compared to conventional manual approaches, while maintaining high compliance and reducing response time, offering a reference for building intelligent dispatch decision-support systems.

Abstract:
Addressing the challenge of managing excessive deformation diseases in operational shield tunnels in China, this research employed various methods to tackle key technological issues. It innovatively developed a comprehensive correction technology system centered on the Adaptable Reinforcement Method with Radial Cement - Soil Piles. Through a series of technical measures, including the construction of a spatial mesh reinforcement body, the formulation of construction sequences and control strategies, and the derivation of estimation formulas, this system has achieved remarkable results: a settlement correction range of 15% to 45% and a convergence correction range of 5% to 40%, while simultaneously significantly reducing leakage diseases. This technology system was validated through application in a subway interval tunnel project in Northeast China.The application results demonstrate that the Adaptable Reinforcement Method with Radial Cement - Soil Piles can synergistically correct both settlement and convergence issues, effectively stabilize the post - construction settlement rate, and notably improve leakage conditions.

Study on Vibration Source Strength of Large-diameter Metro Shield Tunnels Based on Environmental Vibration
LIANG Jinxue, ZHANG Liangtao, WU Meiquan, WANG Zhengang, XIE Weiping, WEI Panjun, ZHONG Likai
Abstract:
Large-diameter shield tunnels for metro systems exhibit greater mass compared to conventional shield tunnels, and their vibration source strength is generally considered lower. Consequently, they are regarded as a potentially effective measure for mitigating environmental vibrations induced by metro operations. However, large-diameter shield tunnels have limited applications in existing metro lines, resulting in a lack of measured vibration source data. Moreover, their frequency-dependent source characteristics and influencing factors remain unclear, leaving vibration and noise reduction designs utilizing such tunnels inadequately supported. Field measurements were conducted to compare vibration source strengths and spectral characteristics between large-diameter and conventional shield tunnels along the same metro line. A "tunnel-soil" finite element model was established and validated using the measured data. Subsequently, the effects of geological conditions and lining thickness on vibration source strength were investigated. The results indicate that, under identical train operating conditions, the source strength of large-diameter shield tunnels is at least 7 dB lower than that of conventional shield tunnels, confirming their efficacy in reducing metro-induced environmental vibrations. The vibration source amplitude of large-diameter shield tunnels is lower than that of conventional tunnels within the low-frequency range (1–125 Hz) but higher at frequencies above 125 Hz. Stiffer surrounding soils lead to increased vibration source strength and predominant frequencies. Additionally, a 10 cm increase in tunnel lining thickness reduces vibration source strength by approximately 1.5 dB, and for every 1 m increase in tunnel diameter, the vibration source strength decreases by about 1.9 dB. These findings provide a theoretical basis for evaluating metro environmental vibrations and designing vibration and noise mitigation measures.

Zhang Yujie, 张慧君, Wang Shuwei, 龚正龙, 高龙
Abstract:
With the increase of operating mileage and time, existing elastic short sleeper tracks gradually experience problems such as aging and deformation of rubber boots, hanging sleepers, and gauge changes, which affect the stability of the track structure and operational safety. In view of the low construction efficiency of existing disease control methods and the difficulty in meeting the rapid repair of large-area elastic short sleeper diseases, this paper proposes a new empty hanging disease control technology that can meet the minimum gap filling of less than 1mm. The feasibility of the new repair material and construction process was verified through offline pouring tests, and the performance of the repaired elastic short sleeper track was evaluated with the help of static stiffness tests and fatigue performance tests. The results show that this control method can effectively fill the empty hanging area and enhance the overall stability of the track structure. It is suitable for the rapid and efficient repair of existing tracks under time and space constraints, and has important engineering application value.

Research on Intelligent Inspection of Evacuation Platform Based on Multi technology Fusion
Wang Ru, Cai Duanyang, Zhuge Huafeng, Wu Cong
Abstract:
Bolts on rail transit evacuation platforms are often concealed, making comprehensive manual inspection difficult and increasing the risk of loosening or detachment that could compromise operational safety. This paper proposes an intelligent inspection system integrating machine vision and laser scanning to achieve precise detection of bolt defects and clearance intrusion trends. The system employs a dual-track autonomous robot equipped with a high-definition camera and LiDAR, enabling full-coverage inspection through image recognition and point cloud processing. Methodologically, high-resolution image acquisition combined with Adaptive Contrast Enhancement (ACE) is first used to improve image quality. An optimized YOLOv11 and Mask R-CNN are then applied for small-object detection and segmentation, enabling automatic identification of missing bolts, loose nuts, and insufficient protrusion, achieving an accuracy of 94.4%. Furthermore, modeling of laser point clouds and a vector cross-product algorithm are employed to provide clearance intrusion warnings with 2 cm precision. Field tests conducted on the Hangzhou–Haining Intercity Railway, across both elevated and tunnel sections, demonstrate an F1 score of 92.6% for bolt defect recognition and a 0% false alarm rate for clearance detection. The proposed system significantly enhances inspection efficiency and provides technical support for intelligent maintenance of rail transit infrastructure.

Study on the Impact of Riding-Span Viaduct Construction on Existing Metro Tunnels
LI Chuan, LI Ningning, YAN Jin, WANG Tongtong, ZHU Kerui
Abstract:
Abstract: o investigate the dynamic impact of riding-span viaduct construction on existing metro tunnels, this study takes the Wangsheren Station to Wangsheren North Station section of Jinan Metro Line 6 as the engineering background. Field tests and numerical simulations were conducted to systematically analyze the deformation patterns of tunnels under the multi-stage coupled effects of "pile foundation excavation, foundation pit unloading, and bridge superstructure loading." The findings reveal that: (1) Foundation pit excavation induces significant tunnel uplift (maximum 4.62 mm), accompanied by horizontal contraction (maximum 1.74 mm) and vertical expansion (maximum 3.25 mm). After bridge loading, the tunnel subsides, with horizontal expansion and vertical convergence observed. (2) The clearance between the tunnel and foundation pit significantly influences uplift deformation: as the clearance increases from 6.7 m to 20 m, the uplift decreases from 5.74 mm to 0.90 mm (approaching zero at ≥15 m), while subsidence remains stable at approximately 5.2 mm. A clearance of ≥12 m is recommended for risk mitigation. (3) Stratigraphic characteristics dominate deformation responses: silty clay layers exhibit greater uplift during excavation (+1.2 mm), whereas gravelly sand layers experience more pronounced subsidence during bridge operation (-1.5 mm). Deformations in moderately and slightly weathered rock strata are negligible. (4) Interval construction of multiple bearing platforms reduces subsequent excavation-induced uplift (12% reduction for the second platform), supporting a "skip-one-excavate-one" construction strategy. Innovatively, this study proposes a deformation prediction model based on stratigraphic heterogeneity, which overcomes the limitations of traditional homogeneous assumptions and provides a theoretical foundation for optimizing the design and risk assessment of riding-span viaduct projects.

Wang Chao, Wang Yuchen, Li Xiaoya, Zhang Yuanya
Abstract:
Aiming at the current situation that the complexity of passenger flow organization and the decision-making mechanism of passengers' path selection behavior during the peak period of urban rail transit stations are still unclear, this paper obtains data through RP (revealed preference) and SP (stated preference) surveys, constructs a model of factors influencing the degree of trust of passengers on the guidance information by using the ordered Logit regression model, and analyzes key influencing factors of passengers' path selection behavior based on the mixed Logit regression model. It is found that passengers' gender, age, and preference of induced information have a significant effect on their trust; the recommendation strength of induced information and the crowd effect of group choice behavior have a positive effect on passengers' path decision-making. This study provides a new perspective for understanding the information processing mechanism and behavioral decision-making mode of passengers in complex traffic environment, and the related conclusions can provide a theoretical basis for optimizing the efficiency of passenger flow organization in rail transit transfer stations.

To address the problem of imperfect design theories for reducing groundwater level backwater caused by metro station construction through diversion measures, this study comprehensively utilized methods including theoretical analysis and physical model tests to investigate groundwater flow rate calculation in karst areas, determination of diversion design parameters, and backwater relationships with hydraulic gradient and diversion area ratio. Specific engineering case studies were incorporated, and numerical simulation was used to verify the effectiveness of the diversion design scheme. Results show that: after metro station construction, the groundwater flow path lengthens due to station obstruction, causing backwater; after implementing diversion measures, the flow path shortens and backwater dissipates; water level backwater exhibits a linear correlation with hydraulic gradient, increasing correspondingly with higher hydraulic gradients; under constant permeability coefficient and hydraulic gradient conditions, water level backwater decreases exponentially with the proportion of diversion channel area, with a critical threshold occurring at approximately 20% proportion, leading to the recommendation that the optimization coefficient for diversion design parameters should be no less than 0.2; both gravel replacement diversion schemes and culvert diversion schemes can essentially restore backwater heads to their original state. Numerical simulation results verify the correctness of diversion design parameter values, confirming that the parameter determination method is feasible and meets the requirements for reducing groundwater level backwater.

Ju Liyan, Pang Gaozhao, Liu Hongbo, Liu Xuezeng, Liu Xingen
Abstract:
Targeting the problems of low efficiency, poor coverage, and insufficient accuracy in shield tunnel segment misalignment measurement, an automatic measurement algorithm integrating laser point cloud grayscale conversion with deep learning is proposed. This method can accurately measure segment misalignment, effectively reduce the risk of water leakage caused by misalignment, and ensure the service performance of tunnel structures. Targeting the structural characteristics of shield tunnel segments, an automatic measurement algorithm for segment misalignment is proposed, integrating laser point cloud grayscale conversion with deep learning. First, the collected three-dimensional laser point cloud is converted into grayscale images with enhanced edge features. Then, the lightweight EfficientNet network is utilized to efficiently identify the bounding boxes of inter-ring and intra-ring joints of segments. The bounding box coordinates are mapped to the three-dimensional point cloud space to achieve precise segmentation and extraction of point clouds on both sides of segment joints. Finally, the average radial distances from point clouds on both sides of joints to the center of the fitted ellipse of the tunnel segment structure are calculated respectively, with their difference representing the segment misalignment, enabling non-contact, high-precision measurement of shield tunnel segment misalignment. A tunnel structure inspection vehicle equipped with a three-dimensional laser scanner was developed, integrating the above algorithm and developing supporting data acquisition and processing software. Engineering pilot application was conducted in the shield tunnel section of Hangzhou Metro Line 1, with laser scanning at a mobile speed of 20km/h. Comparative analysis between the inspection vehicle measurement results and manual measurement results shows that the two measurement results are close, with an absolute maximum deviation of 1.6mm. This method can ensure high measurement accuracy even under high-speed mobile conditions, meeting the industry demand for rapid, comprehensive detection of shield tunnel segment misalignment.

Energy Saving Optimization Method for Urban Rail Flexible Traction Power Supply System Based on Load Clustering
GAO Ming, ZHANG Gang, WEI Wei, WANG Renyu, TAO Boan, XIONG Wei
Abstract:
The development of flexible traction power supply system presents a significant opportunity for optimizing energy efficiency in urban rail transit. However, the operational conditions are inherently dynamic, characterized by substantial load fluctuations. Consequently, traditional energy-saving approaches, which rely on static scenario designs, struggle to accommodate dynamic load demands effectively. It is necessary to accurately divide load scenarios, study energy-saving optimization methods for flexible systems, achieve dynamic matching of "scenario strategy", and improve energy-saving effects. Hence, an energy-saving optimization approach for urban rail flexible traction power supply systems based on in load clustering is proposed. Firstly, a k-Medoids load clustering method based on t-SNE was designed. A strategy of clustering after dimensionality reduction was adopted to more accurately reveal the inherent laws of urban rail load. Secondly, an energy-saving optimization model for the flexible traction power supply system was constructed. Based on intelligent optimization algorithms, the virtual resistance of traction substation was adjusted to minimize the total incoming energy of the system, achieving energy-saving optimization. Through simulation validation, the effectiveness of proposed method was verified. The designed load clustering method effectively excavated the inherent characteristics of urban rail load, revealed the correlation between system load and operating periods and seasons. 6 specific scenarios of system operation are clarified after load clustering. The proposed energy-saving optimization method can achieve good energy-saving effects in various operating scenarios, with a maximum energy-saving rate of 4.07%. The energy-saving optimization method for urban rail flexible traction power supply system based on load clustering has connected the complete chain of "scene recognition - strategy matching - dynamic adjustment", which can provide important technical support for energy-saving operation of urban rail transit.

Comparative study on environmental vbration evaluation standards for urban rail transit
Abstract:
In response to ambiguities and inconsistencies in China's evaluation standards for vehicle-induced environmental vibrations in urban rail transit, which affect assessment conclusions, this paper adopts a combination of field measurements and statistical analysis to conduct a comparative study of current standards regarding evaluation indicators, weighting curves, analysis frequency ranges, and determination of train pass-by intervals. The main conclusions are as follows: it is advisable to set up both time-frequency synthetical evaluation indicator and frequency-domain octave evaluation indicator. It is suggested to set the single-value evaluation indicator as the maximum vertical vibration level (VLzmax), the frequency-domain octave evaluation indicator as the maximum vibration level of 1/3 octave bands (VALmax), and adopt the peak value retention method in the calculateion. The Wk weighting curve is suggested to be adopted and the analysis frequency range is recommended as 1~80 Hz. In order to effectively eliminate the effect of judgement of train passing period on the evaluation result, it is recommended to use time weighting for vibration signal analysis and peak value retention method for the calculation of VLzmax and VALmax.

Spatiotemporal Heterogeneity of Land Value Premium Around Urban Rail Transit Stations in Metropolitan Areas: A Perspective of Economic Cycles
Ma Yuansong, Li Junfang, Hu Hua, Jin Hao
Abstract:
To address the limitations of existing research on land value premiums of urban rail transit, which are characterized by short time spans and insufficient exploration of the long-term dynamic impacts of economic cycles, this study, based on data from the Tokyo Metropolitan Area spanning 1984-2023, for the first time constructs a long-time-series framework covering the bubble period, recession period, and recovery period. It employs the Geographical and Temporal Weighted Regression (GTWR) model to quantitatively capture the spatiotemporal heterogeneous patterns of land value premiums. The results indicate that: 1) During the bubble period, the rail transit-induced land value premium exhibits a core-periphery gradient attenuation, with commercial land demonstrating the highest sensitivity; 2) During the recession period, the premium effect reverses direction, leading to strip-shaped depreciation along rail transit corridors in urban areas , while suburban land maintains stronger stability in its premium levels; 3) During the recovery period, the overall premium elasticity weakens, yet suburban commercial land shows prominent growth potential, with elasticity approximately 1.5 times that of urban areas. The study reveals that there exists a dynamic interaction between macroeconomics and transit accessibility, necessitating the establishment of a cross-cycle response mechanism. This research uncovers the nonlinear dynamic interaction mechanism between macroeconomic cycles and rail transit accessibility, fills the research gap in the quantitative study of cross-cycle spatiotemporal heterogeneity of rail transit-induced land value premiums, provides data support for quantifying such premiums in metropolitan areas under economic fluctuations, and offers theoretical backing for avoiding systemic risks and enhancing planning resilience.

The Spatially Heterogeneous Influence of Multiple Factors on Housing Prices Around Subway Stations: An MGWR-Based Empirical Analysis in Chaoyang District, Beijing
Abstract:
Based on a case study of Beijing’s Chaoyang District, this research employs a multiscale geographically weighted regression (MGWR) model to systematically examine the spatial heterogeneity and multi-factor mechanisms affecting residential prices around urban rail transit hubs. Using second-hand housing listing prices from Lianjia in 2023, the study incorporates both internal estate characteristics (e.g., average housing age, property fees, greening rate, and plot ratio) and external location-based attributes (e.g., proximity to subway stations, bus stops, commercial centers, schools, hospitals, and parks) to construct the MGWR model, which is compared against OLS and GWR models. The results show that the MGWR model achieves the highest goodness-of-fit (R2 = 0.691) and effectively captures the scale-varying effects of different factors. Distance to subway stations exhibits a significant negative correlation with housing prices, with a stronger effect in suburban areas than in the urban core. Proximity to top-tier schools shows a heterogeneous pattern—positive in clustered areas but negative in peripheral zones—reflecting a localized saturation effect of educational resources. The influences of commercial, park, and hospital accessibility also demonstrate notable spatial variations, highlighting the complex interplay and contextual dominance of transportation, education, commerce, ecology, and medical services in the capitalization of housing prices. This study provides a multiscale analytical framework for understanding the formation mechanisms of housing prices in the context of urban rail transit, offering valuable insights for spatial governance and public service allocation.

Analysis of the Influence of Groundwater Level Rise on Subway Station Structure in Cobble Formation
Liang Zhongdong, Li Zhibin, Guan Qifeng, Zhang Yue, Shan Yepeng, Cai Guoqing
Abstract:
To evaluate and mitigate risks to a subway station founded in pebble strata under rising groundwater, this study—grounded in the DawaYao Station project of Beijing Subway Line 14—utilizes the finite element method to develop a two?dimensional numerical model of a representative cross?section. The model rigorously incorporates strength degradation induced by soil wetting and comprehensively examines the structural internal forces, displacements, and evolution of plastic zones within the ground in response to scenarios of groundwater level rise in gravelly deposits. Meanwhile, the strength attenuation effect of soil after wetting was reasonably considered. The simulation results show that: the base plate, roof plate and sidewalls wall as the enclosure structure, the compressive stress on the soil-facing surface increases, the base plate and roof plate bear the horizontal stress from sidewalls wall and offset part of the spanwise bending moment, the tensile stress decreases; the center plate and the center column as the intermediate support structure still play a good support function; Notably, attention is warranted at stress-concentration junctures like the plate-column and plate-wall connections to avert structural fissures from excessive strain. In a cobble formation, both the stratum and station experience uplift, with the station's uplift marginally surpassing the surrounding soil. Structural integrity remains unscathed without local deformation, thus indicating a relatively diminished risk of localized structural harm. Plastic deformation concentrates mainly within the roof plate's apex, yet without extending into surface ruptures, thereby diminishing the likelihood of comprehensive instability.

Abstract:
To address the shortcomings of real-time and accuracy in existing subway protection area supervision model, an intelligent inspection system was developed that integrates video surveillance with image recognition and edge computing technologies. Firstly, an edge computing system for protection area inspection was constructed using edge computing terminals and monitoring cameras, effectively reducing reliance on cloud servers. Secondly, the YOLOv8l algorithm was selected as the image recognition model for the intelligent inspection system and deployed on edge computing terminals. Finally, a B/S model-based inspection cloud platform was developed for managing inspection equipment, emergencies, and operations. Through training and testing with approximately 100,000 images of 6 categories of mechanical risk sources under various scenarios, the model achieves consistent recognition rates exceeding 90% in both daytime and nighttime conditions. Field tests conducted along Guangzhou Metro Line 5 demonstrate an overall system recognition rate of 85.42%, indicating substantial potential of this video-based intelligent inspection system. This advancement holds significant practical implications for ensuring the sustainable development of urban rail transit systems.

A Review of Operational Organization in Subway Logistics Systems: Evolution from Single-Line Optimization to Network Coordination
ZHU Yuting, WEI Chang, LIU Lu, GUANG Zhirui, ZHU Mengchen
Abstract:
This paper zeroes in on the operational organization issues of metro logistics systems, drawing on domestic and international practices and taking literature from 2016-2025 in databases like Web of Science and CNKI as samples. By integrating bibliometric and content analysis methods, it dissects research progress in this field. Subsequently, it delves into literature employing quantitative analysis from perspectives such as research objects, stakeholders, transportation organization modes, train scheduling, capacity allocation, freight flow distribution, model structures, and solution algorithms. The findings show that foreign research had an early start but failed to achieve sustained promotion, while domestic research, despite high attention, remains in a small-scale exploratory phase. Current research lacks systematic connections when analyzing key elements like transportation organization modes, train scheduling, capacity allocation, and freight flow distribution, highlighting the urgent need to construct an integrated optimization framework for multi-element collaboration. The research objects need to be further extended from single-line scenarios to complex networks to enhance the practicality and applicability of the theories. Under the green and low-carbon objective, incorporating energy consumption factors into scheduling optimization, especially introducing strategies like regenerative braking energy utilization, is of great significance. Meanwhile, breaking free from fixed demand assumptions and strengthening response capabilities to uncertainty and elastic demand can improve the alignment between research and reality. Additionally, developing optimization algorithms suitable for large-scale networks remains a key future direction.

Research on the Optimal Configuration of Urban Rail Transit Photovoltaic-Energy Storage Integrated Equipment Considering Peak-Valley Electricity Prices
Abstract:
Under the guidance of the "Dual Carbon" strategy and integrated transportation-energy development plans, the integration of renewable energy sources like photovoltaics (PV) into urban rail transit systems has become a current research focus. However, the inherent uncertainty of photovoltaics energy generation necessitates coordinated operation with energy storage systems, which increases the utilization costs of photovoltaics energy in urban rail transit. Achieving lifecycle profit maximization for PV-storage integration in urban rail systems remains a challenging issue. By analyzing the relationships among energy storage capacity, photovoltaic accommodation rate, investment payback period, and annual revenue curves, this study proposes an optimal configuration scheme for urban rail PV-storage integrated equipment. The scheme fully considers real-world peak-valley electricity pricing factors, reasonably selects energy storage capacity, designs energy storage charging/discharging strategies, and enhances the economic viability of PV-storage integration in urban rail transit. While maintaining photovoltaic accommodation rates, the solution achieves minimized static investment payback periods and ensures lifecycle profitability. This provides a reference for urban rail transit PV-storage integration projects.

Challenges and Reconstruction of Social Equity in Digitalized Multi-Modal Rail Transit
Abstract:
With the advancement of urban agglomeration and metropolitan area development, multi-modal rail transit networks have been expanding rapidly. Technological progress in the digital era has accelerated the integration of artificial intelligence, big data, and transportation systems, facilitating the evolution of multi-modal rail transit toward faster, more efficient, and more user-centered integrated mobility services. However, disparities in benefits persist across different urban spaces and social groups within these smart mobility-based systems. The increasingly complex spatial configurations, mobility services, and modal options, while enhancing accessibility and development opportunities in certain regions and populations, simultaneously pose new challenges to marginalized areas and vulnerable populations. To promote equity within multi-modal transit systems and broaden the spatial and social reach of rail networks, this paper explores the intersection of multi-modal rail transit and social equity. It analyzes key research approaches, critical challenges, and influencing factors, while also proposing future research directions and strategic interventions for enhancing equity in multi-modal transit systems. Findings suggest that two fundamental issues underpin the inequity of multi-modal rail systems, spatial disparities in network coverage and insufficient attention to the diverse needs of users. Rail station and line density tend to be lower in low-density urban neighborhoods and peri-urban or rural areas, making access more difficult. Vulnerable groups, including women, the elderly, persons with disabilities, low-income populations, and individuals with lower educational attainment, are particularly affected by economic constraints, digital exclusion, and time-space coordination challenges in their daily mobility. Future research on social equity in multi-modal transit systems should adopt a holistic perspective that integrates built environment characteristics, transport infrastructure provision, temporal factors, individual attributes, economic policies, intermodal connectivity, and digital literacy. Advancing equity in this context requires innovation in methodological frameworks, identification and quantification of influencing mechanisms. As a capital-intensive foundational infrastructure, urban rail transit plays a critical role in shaping inclusive and equitable transport systems. Addressing social equity in multi-modal transit is vital for enhancing population mobility, increasing employment opportunities, and promoting balanced and sustainable regional development.

zhangtianyang, huxiaomin, Yang Dongying, zhouyang
Abstract:
The horizontal alignment design of urban metro shield section is prone to being constrained by dense structures and land use. It usually results in increased investment and demolition. An optimization model of dual horizontal alignments in metro shield tunnel section is proposed, which takes the intersection points on left line and right line as independent variables. The specification terms are transferred as geometric constraints, and penalty terms of land use underpassing and line space violations are introduced in the objective function. It is solved by a collaborative differential evolution algorithm with left line population and right line population. The case study shows that the proposed model can optimize a horizontal alignment 2.7 km in around 150 seconds, reducing investment 0.3% approximately. It guides the parallel or separated designs of horizontal dual lines in shield tunnel section automatically while avoiding control areas.

Study on Resilience Evaluation and Application of Longitudinal Structure of Shield Tunnels Considering Severe Disturbances
PANG Yuling, QIN Pengfei, GUAN Zongfu, ZHAN Jinwu
Abstract:
In light of the rapid expansion of underground rail transit systems and the growing requirements for tunnel operation and maintenance, the longitudinal structural resilience of shield tunnels has emerged as a critical research topic in the field of engineering. In this paper, the longitudinal differential settlement is employed as performance indices, and the ratio of residual performance and normal performance of differential settlements is defined as the resilience metric Re, thus a new model using longitudinal relative differential settlement as the index of tunnel structural resilience performance is proposed. Based on a newly constructed shield tunnel underpasses an existing metro tunnel, the variations of tunnel deformation concerning tunneling distance and construction schedules are analyzed. Then, the degradation characteristics of structural performance during both disturbance stage and recovery stage are effectively captured. Finally, the proposed model is applied to evaluate the structural resilience of existing metro tunnels. The results show that 32.3 % of the performance loss is attributed to the new tunnel undercrossing in the first 38 days. After the completion of the grouting reinforcement, the tunnel performance is improved from 0.677 to 0.868, accounting for approximately 59.1% of the performance loss during the crossing period. Eventually, the resilience metric Re is calculated as 0.764, indicating a high level of resilience for the existing metro tunnel in this case. Moreover, other performance indices related to tunnel longitudinal settlement are compared to validate the rationality and applicability of the proposed performance index.

A Review of Network Security for Urban Rail Transit
Abstract:
With the deep integration of smart urban rail and smart city networks, the high degree of system interconnectivity and open protocols have led to a blurring of security boundaries. Coupled with the emergence of new threats such as APT attacks and supply chain vulnerabilities, urban rail transit network security faces enormous challenges, significantly increasing major risks such as signal system paralysis. To address this critical situation, this article first analyzes the key architecture of the smart urban rail network security protection system from three core dimensions: legal and policy foundations, new technological systems, and ecological coordination mechanisms. It also emphasizes the urgent need to build a "technology + management + ecology" trinity protection system to address the risks of paralysis caused by blurred security boundaries and the combination of APT attacks and supply chain vulnerabilities. In terms of the implementation path of the core protection framework, the key roles of isolation protection and cloud-native architecture are clarified. At the same time, considering the strict requirements of smart urban rail for high real-time performance and high reliability, existing protection technologies are systematically reviewed. Looking ahead to the future evolution of the protection system, it will move towards the mainstream of threat prediction and automated response driven by the deep integration of artificial intelligence, and the practical application of quantum communication to enhance anti-cracking capabilities. It will also be necessary to strengthen joint prevention and control through the construction of cross-industry security alliances and talent training, and ultimately promote the continuous evolution of the entire protection system towards a more proactive, service-oriented and ecosystem-supported form.

weibaiquan, Shi Hai-feng, Jiang Lu, wangmeng, zhanghao, xujianjun, wangke
Abstract:
The urban rail train control system based on vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication is being increasingly applied in urban rail transit, thanks to its characteristics of minimal wayside equipment and direct vehicle-to-vehicle communication.

Progress in the Study of Evacuation Issues in Subway Station Underground Spaces
Abstract:
With the expansion of subway networks and the large-scale development of underground space in hub stations, the evacuation of subway stations in underground space in emergencies has attracted increasing attention. In view of the difficulties in emergency evacuation caused by the increasing complexity of subway stations in underground space, based on an extensive review of domestic and international literature, this paper first analyzes the evacuation characteristics and common features of different types of subway station underground spaces, examining evacuation scenarios, pedestrian behavior, and evacuation analysis methods in disaster contexts, and summarizes the evacuation behavior traits across station types. Secondly, the study delves into recent advancements in evacuation experiments and simulation technologies, covering physical and simulated experiments, including core algorithms, simulation processes, and inherent limitations of mainstream simulation platforms. It also highlights the impact of spatial features on simulation experiments and identifies current research hotspots. Finally, focusing on layout and path optimization for evacuation, the paper explores related methodologies and practical applications. On this basis, it points out that existing research is predominantly centered on theoretical modeling and quantitative analysis, with a lack of field validation that limits practical effectiveness. There is also a deficiency in interdisciplinary integration, especially concerning psychological and social dynamics of crowd behavior, which constrains the effectiveness of evacuation strategies in emergency practice. Therefore, the study suggests enhancing model realism through virtual reality, big data, and artificial intelligence technologies to improve simulation accuracy; and encourages interdisciplinary collaboration among psychology, sociology, urban planning, and safety engineering to comprehensively analyze crowd evacuation behaviors in different types of subway station underground spaces during emergencies, thereby providing a solid theoretical foundation and practical reference for future research.

Evaluation of coordinated development of Beijing rail transit stations and cities from the perspective of node place coupling
tanpengjing, zhangyanan, xiyang, lijiang
Abstract:
Beijing"s rail transit network has reached an operational length of 836 km, forming a comprehensive system with multiple key hub nodes, and its construction is still ongoing. Rail transit plays a crucial role in supporting and driving urban development. The coordinated development of stations and surrounding land can foster a positive interaction between transportation and the city, alleviating traffic congestion while maximizing the use of transportation resources. This paper takes Beijing as a case study, establishing a Node-Place model, and utilizes multi-source big data methods to comprehensively assess the development of station nodes and places in Beijing by the end of 2023. A comparative analysis with the situation in 2019 is conducted to summarize the characteristics and trends of coordinated development, classifying stations into five categories, including stable balance and fluctuating balance. The results show that the city"s stations exhibit a balanced development between node and place values overall, with node value slightly exceeding place value. At the citywide level, station-area integration should be strengthened. In contrast, 29 stations located on suburban lines show a trend of continuous deterioration in place value, which is closely related to the lagging development of surrounding land. Guidance and promotion of land development around these stations should be intensified. The findings contribute to forming an improvement project database that addresses the development issues of different stations and provides support for achieving station-city integration.

Study on Deformation Mechanism and Safety Early Warning of Wet Trapped Loess Tunnel
Abstract:
To investigate the structural damage characteristics and deformation mechanisms of operational metro tunnels in collapsible loess regions, this study conducted long-term structural deformation monitoring on a metro tunnel in Xi’an, China. Safety assessments of tunnel sections were performed based on monitoring data, with numerical simulations further revealing the deformation causes in high-risk zones. The monitoring data show that the study line tunnels present a composite deformation pattern of arch subsidence and structural expansion dominated by arch subsidence, of which the Z5~Z6 intervals have been evaluated as high-risk sections due to the seriousness of the disease. Numerical simulations demonstrate distinct deformation mechanisms: saturation of soil above the tunnel crown predominantly induces horizontal ovalization deformation ("horizontal egg-shaped" distortion), while saturation below the invert mainly triggers overall subsidence with minimal impact on structural dilation or surrounding rock pressure. Combining the geological investigation and deformation monitoring data, the structural expansion and deformation monitoring values match well with the predicted values of 4~8m flooding depth in simulation condition 3 (groundwater level rise), confirming that the compressive deformation triggered by the flooding of old loess under the arch is the main cause of structural deformation in this section. The findings provide valuable insights for the construction and operational maintenance of urban rail transit systems in similar collapsible loess regions.

XUAN Jing, CHEN Nan, LI Jirong, ZHANG Zhening, LU Xiaoxiao, CHU Zhongfu, XING Songling
Abstract:
With the rapid growth of urban logistics demand, traditional road-based freight transportation is facing issues such as low efficiency and significant environmental pressures. Leveraging surplus capacity in urban rail transit to develop urban freight services has become an important direction for innovation. This paper examines typical domestic and international cases, analyzes the existing problems of various urban rail freight models, and proposes systematic solutions. Based on these, it outlines design ideas for optimizing transport organization schemes. The results show that, in response to four core issues, such as the imbalance of spatial and temporal resources, optimization can be achieved through peak–off-peak time windows, flexible facility retrofitting, demand-responsive organization, and end-to-end safety management. Relying on three types of models, the approach advocates starting with pilot projects on specific lines, and, after technical verification and readiness, gradually expanding to broader applications. This study provides theoretical support and technical guidance for the implementation of urban rail freight models, promoting the development of an efficient and green urban logistics system.

Wang Yan, Xu Min, Ma Qiuju, Hou Pan, Chen Qingqing, 程泽农, Zhu Lili, Wang Jie
Abstract:
In recent years, extreme weather has frequently occurred in various parts of China, and the intensity of local rainstorm has significantly increased. As an important mode of transportation, the rail transit system will cause serious losses once it encounters rainstorm and flood disasters. Focusing on the issue of flood prevention safety assessment during the operation period of rail transit lines, this study takes the Nanjing rail transit lines as an example, a key technical system for flood prevention and safety assessment during the operation period of Nanjing rail transit lines was constructed for five types of locations (subway stations, vehicle bases, substations, section air shafts, and vehicle access tunnel entrances). The system mainly includes dividing flood prevention zones, analyzing disaster causing factors, establishing risk assessment matrices, and proposing flood prevention and control measures. Based on the key technical system for flood safety assessment during the operation period of the constructed rail transit operation line, the study divides the Nanjing rail transit operation line into 33 primary zones and 45 secondary zones; According to the flood risk assessment matrix, there are a total of 14 major risk points, 101 major risk points, 180 general risk points, and 62 minor risk points on the operating lines of Nanjing Rail Transit, with the major risk points mainly concentrated on Line 2, Line 3, and Line 10. The research results will provide theoretical guidance for ensuring flood prevention safety of urban rail transit operation lines.

Influence Mechanism of Railway Vehicle Status on Tunnel Vibration Source Strength in Suburban Railways
Abstract:
In order to study the influence of vehicle status on the vibration of wheel-rail system in urban railway, a vertical coupling dynamic model of vehicle-track-tunnel is established, and the influence mechanism of driving speed, train passenger capacity and wheelset mass on the vibration response of vehicle, rail and tunnel is analyzed in detail. The research results show that with the train speed increasing from 100km/h to 160km/h, the maximum Z vibration level of the tunnel increases from 68.05dB to 72.06dB. With the increase of train passenger capacity, the vertical ride comfort index of vehicles gradually decreases, while the vertical wheel-rail force, rail vertical displacement, rail vertical acceleration, rail maximum Z vibration level and tunnel vertical displacement gradually increase, while the tunnel vertical acceleration and maximum Z vibration level remain basically unchanged. The train passenger capacity mainly affects the tunnel vibration response in the frequency range below 10Hz. In the frequency range above 10Hz, the tunnel vibration response is mainly controlled by wheel-rail irregularity, resulting in no significant difference in tunnel acceleration levels under no-load, full-load and overload conditions. Below the P2 resonance frequency of wheel-rail system, increasing the wheelset mass will amplify the vibration acceleration level of rail and tunnel. However, above the P2 resonance frequency, the vibration acceleration level will decrease.

Impact of Rail Transit Integration on Accessibility to Tertiary Hospitals and Its Spatial Equity in the Chengdu Metropolitan Area
PENG Yisheng, LIU Jiahui, 陈林, 方翰, YANG Linchuan
Abstract:
Aiming at the issue that most existing studies neglect the impact of urban agglomeration-level rail transit integration on the accessibility and equity of tertiary hospitals, this study introduces the two-step floating catchment area (2SFCA) method and population-weighted mean absolute deviation to measure accessibility and spatial equity, respectively. By constructing two scenarios of the current situation and rail transit integration, the evolution of the accessibility and spatial equity of tertiary hospitals in the Chengdu Metropolitan Area is systematically analyzed. The findings are as follows: First, rail transit integration promotes the overall improvement of tertiary hospital accessibility. Second, as rail transit integration progresses, the spatial polarization of accessibility gradually weakens, and the areas that cannot obtain high-quality medical services are also decreasing. However, the accessibility difference between the east and west sides of the Longquan Mountain Range is becoming more pronounced. Third, rail transit integration reduces spatial differences in accessibility and promotes spatial equity. Based on these findings, optimization strategies to promote the balanced and high-level coordinated development of tertiary hospitals in the Chengdu Metropolitan Area are proposed.

Research on Early Termination Schemes of Urban Rail Transit PPP Projects
Abstract:
In view of the numerous controversies surrounding urban rail transit Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects, this paper analyzes the main problems during the operation period of such projects. To ensure the stability of urban rail transit operations during the operation period and safeguard the interests of all investors, three feasible solutions are proposed from the government’s perspective, with an analysis of their implementation processes as well as their respective advantages and disadvantages. The research concludes that early termination of franchise rights through equity transfer is the relatively superior approach, as it offers strong operability, does not affect normal operations, helps maintain workforce stability, imposes relatively low fiscal pressure on the government, and aligns with policy requirements. Finally, taking China’s first urban rail transit PPP project that was terminated during the operation phase—the Fuzhou Metro Line 2 electromechanical equipment PPP project—as a typical case, the study provides a detailed account of the entire process of successfully repurchasing the equity held by private investors and terminating the franchise agreement in advance, with the aim of offering reference and guidance for equity repurchase and exit practices in urban rail transit PPP projects. Keywords: PPP projects; urban rail transit; early termination; equity transfer; operation period

Li Chuitian, LIN Xiaoqiong, ZHANG Ji, XU Kaicheng, CHEN Mengcheng
Abstract:
Predicting and controlling the surface settlement induced by shield tunneling is an important engineering problem in underground space development. With the development of artificial intelligence technology, machine learning algorithms have achieved good application results in surface settlement prediction and control. In this paper, we first summarizes the theory of machine learning, focusing on four key aspects: database construction, data preprocessing, model selection and evaluation, and shield tunneling parameter optimization under settlement control. Additionally, it critically examines the limitations of existing research in this domain. Current research issues include neglecting the additional impacts of surface structure loads, traffic flow, and pedestrian activities, a lack of model interpretability, and the balance between prediction accuracy and practicality. Future research should focus on developing a comprehensive measurement and evaluation system that incorporates the dynamic effects of surface buildings, traffic, and pedestrian flow into settlement prediction models. At the same time, efforts should be made to enhance model interpretability and promote the dynamic updating of machine learning models with real-time monitoring data, providing more scientifically sound guidance for safety control in shield tunneling construction.

Research on the Connotation, Issues, and Countermeasures of the "Four-Network Integration" of Rail Transit in Metropolitan Areas
WANG Chao, YANG Le, LUO Yining, LIU Chenzhuo
Abstract:
"Four-Network Integration" of rail transit, which refers to the integration of urban rail transit, suburban railways, intercity railways and trunk railways, has become an important driving force and breakthrough point for advancing railway reform, achieving regional integration, serving the national strategy of building a strong transportation network, and supporting high-quality development in new urbanization. The connotation of "Four-Network Integration" encompasses both multi-level railway classification and multi-level railway integration, which are mutually reinforcing. The underlying requirement of multi-level railway classification is to ensure the coordinated efficiency of the "four networks," where the hierarchical structure should facilitate the balanced development of passenger flow patterns. The focus of multi-level railway integration, based on implementation pathways, can be subdivided into planning and construction integration, operational service integration, and management mechanism integration, ultimately achieving temporal, spatial, and functional integration. Building upon this framework, this paper analyzes two domestic cases: the single-platform-interchange at Chengdu's Xipu Station and the cross-line operation between Chongqing Rail Transit Jiangtiao Line and Metro Line 5. Finally, this paper examines the current challenges faced by China in the process of promoting "Four-Network Integration", including: unreasonable network structure, delayed planning and construction, insufficient coordinated service levels, and imperfect coordinated institutional mechanisms. Based on this analysis, targeted strategic recommendations are proposed to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for the sustained and healthy development of "Four-Network Integration" of rail transit in China.

Abstract:
Based on the shield tunneling subway crossing through the existing anchor cable group between Wenfu Road Station and Fuming street station of Shenyang subway line 3 as the background. The paper analyzed various treatment schemes for shield tunneling through anchor cable areas. By comparing and selecting comprehensive factors such as technology, economy, and construction period, and combining with the actual situation of the project, a scheme is proposed for the excavation of tunnels using the Mining primary lining method , which involves removing and treating the intrusion anchor cables , back-filling with mortar, and then shield tunneling is used to pass through.Perform numerical model analysis for various construction stages, and conduct a comparative summary analysis by incorporating on-site monitoring data. Research shows that the Mining methods can effectively remove anchor cables. And the method of back-filled with mortar eliminates obstacles and hidden dangers for shield tunneling construction. The shield tunneling process is normal and does not require opening machine cabin.The surface deformation data from construction monitoring is slightly larger than that from numerical analysis, but the deformation patterns are basically consistent, both showing a trend of larger values in the middle and smaller values towards the edges. Engineering practice has proven that the method is safe and reliable, and it can provide a reference for similar projects.

Shiwei Xu, Junxing Qiu, Shufeng Ye, zhiming Xie, Xue Zhao
Abstract:
To promote the integration of the "four networks" of rail transit and better support the development of urban agglomerations and metropolitan areas. By deeply analyzing the connotation and characteristics of the "four network integration" of rail transit, the role and significance of the "four network integration" have been summarized; On this basis, a systematic review of the integration planning practice of Guangzhou's rail transit four networks was conducted, and relevant thoughts were proposed from the aspects of top-level design, operational organization, and institutional mechanisms. The research results indicate that in order to promote the integration of the four networks with high quality, firstly, a rail functional hierarchy system suitable for the development of the metropolitan area should be established based on the spatial scale, central system, and passenger flow demand of the metropolitan area. Secondly, for a certain direction of passenger flow corridor, it is necessary to fully consider the characteristics of passenger flow demand, and study the reasonable configuration of different lines within the same channel from the perspective of leveraging the advantages of various levels of track functions. Once again, the appropriate network integration method should be selected from a global perspective, taking into account both demand and cost, and considering the applicability of interconnectivity and hub node transfers. Finally, efforts should be made to promote mutual trust in security checks and interoperability of ticket systems to facilitate citizens' travel.

Experimental study on void detection behind subway tunnel lining and signal denoising method——Combined denoising method based on Butterworth bandpass filter and Daubechies8 wavelet transform
Abstract:
With the increase of service life of urban rail transit, the stability of subway tunnel lining is getting worse and worse. Aiming at the problem of difficulty in detecting voids behind lining, impact echo method has been developed as a new means to detect such diseases. Among them, effectively extracting echo oscillation characteristics from complex signals of detection data has become the key to detecting voids behind lining. Based on the voids detection experiment behind" segment-surrounding rock" full-scale model, this paper proposes a denoising method based on Butterworth bandpass filter signal coarse screening strategy combined with local noise smoothing based on Daubechies8 wavelet transform. This method uses 4th-order bandpass filter and sets high and low frequency cutoff frequencies of 1 kHz and 50 kHz to effectively suppress signals and noise outside the frequency band; wavelet transform based on improved adaptive threshold method smoothes signal spikes and finely removes residual noise within the frequency band. The results show that after denoising the two-dimensional time-frequency diagram of experimental data by this method, high-frequency spikes are suppressed in the frequency domain, low-frequency discrete noise is removed, and echo signals in the passband are smoothed; the distribution characteristics of echo signals are retained in the time domain to reduce noise interference. The joint denoising method proposed in this paper significantly improves the extraction effect of the echo signal oscillation characteristics, and provides a preliminary research basis for the impact echo method to detect voids behind the lining of subway tunnels.

HUANG Baojing, CHEN CHENG, 王嘉源
Abstract:
To address the need for efficient transportation of high-value-added and time-sensitive goods and resolve the challenge of selecting optimal freight paths within the complex urban rail transit networks of megacities, this study presents a comprehensive approach. First, a network simplification method is proposed to streamline the topological structure of urban rail systems by accounting for network complexity and uneven passenger flow distribution, thereby enhancing the computational efficiency of multimodal path optimization algorithms. Second, a path optimization model is developed with dual objectives of maximizing load rate and minimizing operational costs to balance cargo capacity utilization and economic feasibility. Finally, a hybrid algorithm integrating an improved ant colony optimization and particle swarm optimization is designed to solve the model, where particle swarm optimization optimizes the hyperparameters of the ant colony algorithm to accelerate convergence speed. Validated through a case study in Guangzhou, the methodology achieves significant performance improvements: network simplification reduces nodes by 76% and links by 69%, cutting algorithm runtime from 11,849 seconds to 1,613 seconds and boosting computational efficiency by 87.4%. The hybrid algorithm further reduces iterations from 46 to 15 while maintaining solution quality. Comparative analysis confirms the superiority of this approach in balancing computational speed, resource utilization, and path optimization effectiveness for urban rail freight systems.

HAN Yong, LUO Yanping, HUANG Feiyan, CHEN Xiaoming, ZHANG Wenwu, ZHANG Quan
Abstract:
In order to reduce the operational cost of air-conditioning systems in subway stations, a cold storage air-conditioning system using phase change materials (PCMs) is proposed. The system can operate in four modes, namely, space cooling and cold charging by chillers, space cooling by chillers, space cooling by cold discharging, space cooling by chillers and cold discharging modes. The PCM used is a commercially available inorganic material, and its phase change temperature range is 7.5~8.5 oC and heat of fusion is 140 kJ/kg. The PCM is encapsulated in panel containers. A series of PCM slabs are parallelly arranged in the cold storage tank. The gap between the two adjacent PCM slabs serves as the flow channel for water, which exchanges heat with PCMs to store and release cold energy. The characteristics of chillers and cooling towers are modeled with the curve fitting method using the measured performance data. A dynamic computational model of the cold storage system which consists of a heat transfer numerical model of PCM slabs and the performance curves of chillers and cooling towers is built. The simulations are performed under the measured data in a subway station in Guangzhou. A control strategy is developed, then, the performance of the cold storage system is studied and compared to the conventional air-conditioning system. The variations of the melted fractions of PCMs, the inlet temperature, outlet temperature and water flow rate of cold storage tank, chillers and cooling towers, and the input power of system versus time on May 1st in 2023 are analyzed. Also, a economic analysis of the proposed cold storage system is performed. The results show that, under the demand tariff, 8.27% annual operational cost is saved by the cold storage system over the conventional system, with a static payback period of 6.3 years. While 13.34% can be saved by the cold storage system against the conventional system under the discounted electricity tariff, with a static payback period of 3.7 years.

Metro Train Rescheduling based on Earthquake Early Warning Information
Abstract:
In response to seismic events that render certain metro sections impassable or subject to speed restrictions, this study proposes an optimization model for metro train emergency rescheduling based on Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) information. The model proactively adjusts existing train operation plans before the earthquake occurs, upon receiving EEW alerts. It incorporates constraints such as arrival and departure time constraints, headway constraints, rolling stock circulation constraints, and earthquake impact-related constraints. The objective function aims to minimize the deviation between actual and ideal train headways, the number of skipped station stops, and the time trains operate within hazardous zones after the earthquake. A linearization method is used to convert the model into a Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) formulation. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed model under various earthquake scenarios, a case study is conducted using actual operational data from Line 6 of the Kunming Metro on a typical working day. The results show that the model can generate emergency train rescheduling plans based on EEW information under different earthquake intensities and affected areas. Different rescheduling strategies are adopted depending on the location of the train at the time of receiving the EEW alert. When speed restrictions are imposed due to the earthquake, a greater increase in inter-station running time leads to a more significant impact on train operations.

Active Rail Potential Hardware Dynamic Emulator System
wangzhenshuai, yangxiaofeng, sunxiangxuan
Abstract:
To address the difficulty of on-site verification of urban rail transit rail potential and stray current prevention measures, the hardware dynamic emulator system of rail potential has attracted widespread attention. Existing hardware emulator schemes usually generate the dynamic equivalent output resistance by modulating the average input time of a fixed power resistor. However, due to fixed power resistor heating and power limitations, it is difficult to increase the power rating. Therefore, this paper proposes an active rail potential hardware dynamic emulator (ARPHDE). Based on analysis of operating principle of ARPHDE, the coordinated control strategy for the virtual resistance converter unit (VRCU), large resistance converter unit (LRCU) and section switching switches is developed, enabling precise regulation of the equivalent virtual resistance value. Simulation results demonstrate that the ARPHDE can accurately reproduce the spatiotemporal dynamic distribution patterns of rail potential. Compared to traditional passive hardware emulator schemes, the ARPHDE replaces fixed power resistor regulation with virtual resistance regulation, avoiding issues of fixed power resistor heating, showing promising application prospects.

Practice and Enlightenment of Tokyo Metro Underground Station Platform Renovation
Abstract:
China is currently exploring and practicing the technologies of underground station platform non-suspension renovation under non-reserved conditions. In contrast, Tokyo Metro has mature civil engineering renovation technologies and rich platform renovation cases and experience. It is necessary to investigate the civil engineering renovation situation and the platform renovation practice of Tokyo Metro underground stations to derive enlightenments for domestic applications. Firstly, through statistics, the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of Tokyo Metro stations that have undergone civil engineering renovation are analyzed, and the influence of laying method and reserved conditions on the timing and construction duration of renovation is explored. Subsequently, the process for civil engineering renovation of Tokyo Metro underground stations is delineated. Finally, based on specific cases, the main objectives and key points of platform extension, platform widening, platform addition and comprehensive platform renovation are analyzed and relevant enlightenments are summarized. About 15.1% of Tokyo Metro underground stations have undergone civil engineering renovation. Only platform extension may have reserved platform extension space based on the length of future train formation, whereas platform renovations under non-reserved conditions prioritize minimizing renovation scale and will have long construction duration when adopting non-suspension construction. Underground lines need to pay attention to reservation design with high cost-effectiveness. The civil engineering renovation construction steps of underground stations usually follows "from outside to inside, first building new and then demolishing old". The underground station platform renovation under no reserved conditions needs to emphasize targeting and control the renovation scale. The long-term station renovation project needs to strengthen risk warning and dynamic control. Station-city integration requires balancing station passenger flow carrying capacity with surrounding land development intensity.

Early-Stage Study on Urban Rail Transit Network Planning Revision
Abstract:
Existing visual‐based fatigue detection methods often suffer from poor scene adaptability and insufficient modeling of temporal feature dependencies. To address these limitations, this paper presents a facial multi‐feature and Bi LSTM–based fatigue detection algorithm for intelligent track guided vehicle drivers. First, Dlib is used to locate facial landmarks and compute five fatigue‐related parameters (EAR, MAR, and three head‐pose angles), and a novel vertical head‐scan frequency metric is introduced for distraction detection. These features are then encoded via a feature‐encoding layer to capture higher order representations and fed into a Bi LSTM network to model temporal dependencies. To further strengthen the representation of critical fatigue cues, a temporal attention mechanism is integrated into the Bi LSTM. Experimental evaluation on a custom mixed dataset demonstrates a detection accuracy of 94.24%, outperforming traditional baseline models. Moreover, in simulated driving trials, the proposed method achieves accurate, real time detection of both fatigue and distraction states under challenging lighting conditions and varying driver postures. These results confirm that the multi‐feature fusion, temporal encoding, and attention‐enhanced Bi LSTM jointly improve robustness and precision in driver state monitoring applications.

Subway Vibration Response Characteristics of a Large TOD Underground Complex
WANG Chen, JIANG Zhiwei, XIA Ruimeng, WU Chenggang, LOU Haicheng
Abstract:
With the TOD background of urban rail transit, urban underground complex structure is often joint constructed with a subway tunnel. But the running trains in tunnel can also induce vibration responses of the underground complex, which may have negative effect on the functional use of the structure. In the paper, with the background of Changchun ‘Galaxy One Mile’ large underground complex engineering, the three-dimensional soil-structure nonlinear finite element method was used, as well as the vehicle-track coupling dynamics sub-model. Time history analyses on the vibration of the large underground complex were conducted, under the subway train load. After the modelling method was verified through the in-situ measurement results, the interlayer and transversal vibration responses of the underground complex were acquired. Results show that the train induced vibration could directly transit upward from the bottom of the column and wall, and it degraded via the slab in the horizontal direction. Therefore, the columns that have the smallest horizontal distance to the rail center and the nearby regions, are always the regions that have the strongest vibration responses. But the in region that far away from the train excitation, vibration of slab should be more focused.

Operation Optimization of Regional Virtual Coupling Train by Integrating the Train Scheduling and Control Considering Passenger Service Levels
WU Xueliang, LIU Junqing, FU Ze, LV Jidong
Abstract:
As urban rail transit networks continue to expand, junction areas in cross-line operations have increasingly become critical bottlenecks limiting capacity improvement. To alleviate passenger congestion during peak hours, this paper proposes a virtually coupled train coordination and scheduling method that incorporates passenger service level considerations. A train dynamics model is first established based on traction-braking characteristics and state transition rules. Then, a passenger-oriented Nash equilibrium game framework is constructed by introducing passenger priority levels to achieve coordinated optimization of train operation strategies. Furthermore, a bi-objective optimization function is formulated to balance two key indicators: passenger travel time and platform crowding. Simulation results demonstrate that, under peak operating conditions, the proposed method reduces passenger travel time cost by approximately 3% and platform congestion by around 30% compared to the traditional First Come First Serve (FCFS) strategy and the moving block-based game approach, significantly enhancing transportation efficiency and passenger satisfaction in cross-line operation zones.

Research on Fatigue Stress Monitoring of Suspension Components at the End of Structures Based on Deep Learning Methods
DAI Xiaochao, HU Jie, JING Yuhang
Abstract:
With the continuous operation of rail transit vehicles, the fatigue failure of end-suspended components on the vehicle frame has become increasingly prominent, posing a potential threat to operational safety. This study addresses the challenge of directly monitoring vibration-induced fatigue damage in these components during long-term service. Taking the track inspection device as an example, its fatigue failure mechanism was analyzed, and a deep learning-based indirect fatigue stress monitoring scheme was proposed. Hazardous measurement points were identified via finite element analysis, and data on vibration acceleration at the frame end and component stress were collected through field line tests. Three temporal regression models (RNN, LSTM, and TCN) were constructed to establish the mapping relationship between acceleration loads at the frame end and component stress. The attention mechanism was introduced to optimize model performance. Experimental results demonstrate that all three models effectively predict stress, with the LSTM model incorporating the attention mechanism (LSTM-Att) achieving the highest prediction accuracy. Validation on six stress measurement points of the track inspection device confirmed that LSTM-Att exhibits excellent predictive performance in both the time and frequency domains. This proves the effectiveness of the proposed method and offers a novel approach for monitoring fatigue damage in frame end-suspended components.

Finally, based on the feature importance index output by the model, the differentiated impact of various influencing characteristics on the passenger volume of each line is explained. The analysis results are highly consistent with the actual situation of each line, proving that the model has strong explanatory power and good practicality.

ZHANG Xiaolei, WU Jingjing, LIU Shuai, WU Qiuyan, Guo Bodi
Abstract:
The refurbishment project for the signaling system of Tianjin-Binhai Light Rail Line 9 faces multiple significant constraints, including limitations imposed by the pre-station turnback, insufficient length of the train inspection shed and limited space in existing equipment rooms.These constraints significantly conflicted with the renovation objectives , such as 2-minute turnback interval, updating the automated inspection shed, and ensuring non-disruptive installation of new equipment, targeted optimization designs were therefore required .This study conducted a detailed analysis of how these constraints restricted conventional signaling system design. Key optimizations includes: adding the axle counter between the platform and the crossover switches, modifying the control logic of the crossover switches from double-acting to single-acting to shorten the alternating turnback interval; innovatively applying a safety braking model optimization strategy within the inspection shed, reducing train running speed, adjusting the C-track section interlocking logic, and optimizing the depot signaling design to minimize the protection distance for stopping in the B-track section and enable automatic entry/exit inspection shed functions; proposing a centralized station UPS/battery transitional access scheme and a remote power supply solution with equipment streamlining for non-centralized stations to address spatial limitations. Research indicates that these design optimizations have effectively resolved the conflict between stringent constraints and design objectives. The new system equipment has been deployed into operation, achieving a reduction in the minimum turnback interval from 136 seconds to 114 seconds, and decreasing the required protection distance for stopping in the B-track section from 7.56 meters to within 3.8 meters. The findings provide valuable references for signaling system renovation designs in similar project.

Discussion on the Necessity of Setting up Piston Ventilation Ducts in Subway Stations in Severe Cold Regions
MA Xiao, HE Wei, XING Tianwen, 孟鑫, 李国庆
Abstract:
In order to study the necessity of setting up piston ventilation ducts in metros in China's severe cold regions, this article selects typical station public areas and section tunnels of the operating Shenyang Metro Lines 1 and 9, and tests their temperature, carbon dioxide concentration, and inhalable particulate matter concentration under open ventilation operation in the hottest month and closed ventilation operation in the coldest month. Utilizing temperature as an indicator of the thermal environment, carbon dioxide concentration and inhalable particulate matter concentration as a measure of air quality, this research quantitatively analyzes the actual environmental control effect of the open ventilation system of the full-height non-enclosed platform doors in operating Shenyang Metro lines on the typical stations public areas and section tunnels. The findings suggest that the piston ventilation volume formed by the open ventilation system of the full-height non-enclosed platform doors in the Shenyang Metro within the section tunnels has exceeded the amount required for temperature control, indicating that the actual regulating capacity of the piston ventilation ducts on the thermal environment of the section tunnels is relatively weak. After closing the piston ventilation duct, the thermal environment and air quality can still meet the design specifications. For future metro lines in Shenyang, it may be advisable to cancel the piston ventilation ducts as an optimization design scheme of the piston ventilation system. The research approach in this paper can serve as a reference for the optimal design of piston ventilation systems in metros in other cities located in severe cold regions in China.

Tool Study on Shield Cutting Bridge Pile Foundation in Mudstone Formation
Abstract:
In order to solve the technical problem that it is difficult to take into account the efficiency of pile foundation treatment and structural safety when shield structure penetrates the urban viaduct, this paper takes the background of Sichuan Normal University-Jiaozi Interchange Interval Project of Chengdu Railway Transportation Line 13, and conducts a research on the key problem of shield structure cutting reinforced concrete group piles continuously in mudstone stratum. Through innovative tool selection and construction control technology, a set of comprehensive solutions for shield structure pile cutting is established, which takes into account both construction efficiency and structural safety. The research adopts a combination of theoretical analysis and numerical simulation, and uses ABAQUS software to optimize the parameters of the shell cutter, such as the front angle, edge angle and edge width. The research results show that: ① shield cutter plate adopts 6 panels + 6 spokes composite cutter plate, and the pile cutting adopts double-sided blade shell knife with front angle -45°zero back angle, 90°blade angle, and 10mm blade width, which can improve the effect of shield pile cutting; ② the tool arrangement of hobbing knife+scraper knife+shell knife+precedent knife is designed, and the best effect of pile cutting is achieved by the improvement technology of the shield machine system and the construction control measures; ③ the maximum settlement of pile tops is only -2.81mm, and after stabilization, the settlement is controlled at -1.75mm; Counting discharged rebar, the length of rebar less than 750mm accounts for about 76.3%, and the fracture form of cut-off rebar accounts for about 70.1%, which indicates that the cutter tool arrangement is reasonable, and it can cut off most of the rebar efficiently, and at the same time, the effect on the top of the pile settlement is relatively small. The results of the study can provide a reference for the shield pile cutting method to continuously cut pile foundation in similar mudstone stratum.

An Analogy-based Deducing Method of Short-Term Passenger Flow in Urban Rail Transit Delays
ZHANG Yuekun, LIU Jun, WANG Yueyue, YE Mingyu
Abstract:
In the operation of ultra - large - scale urban rail transit networks, train operation delays occur frequently. Accurately and efficiently predicting the number and scope of affected passengers is crucial for network command and dispatch. Based on the normal passenger flow situation, this paper combines the advantages of data - driven and model - driven methods and proposes a short - term prediction method for the scope and number of affected passengers under urban rail train delays. First, based on the detailed OD path data of passenger travel chains under normal conditions, by analyzing the passenger flow direction in the delayed section, the scope of affected passengers is defined and a passenger flow quantity prediction model is constructed. Second, for the affected passenger group, according to the travel choice behavior of passengers under delay conditions, the passenger impedance sensitivity coefficient is calibrated to predict the structural changes of passenger components (waiting, detouring, and loss). Finally, multiple actual train delay scenarios in the Beijing urban rail network are selected for verification. The results show that this method can be effectively applied to multiple scenarios in the Beijing urban rail network.

Financial Digital Transformation Practice of Guangzhou Metro Driven by Business-Finance Integration
Abstract:
Ensuring financial sustainability through financial digital transformation constitutes an urgent requirement for urban rail transit enterprises, with business-finance integration serving as an effective enabler for such transformation. Current industry research predominantly focuses on technology applications in isolated operational scenarios while lacking comprehensive financial digital transformation frameworks; concurrently, studies on business-finance integration exhibit limited empirical research within rail transit contexts and emphasize unidirectional approaches. Addressing these gaps, this study employs a case analysis methodology centered on Guangzhou Metro’s implementation to investigate pathways and outcomes of bidirectional business-finance integrated financial digital transformation. Findings demonstrate that synergistic advancement of conceptual/systemic reforms, methodological transformation, and ecological restructuring effectively promotes organizational integration, information integration, and value convergence between business and finance functions, yielding significant outcomes: enhanced accounting information quality, development of cross-functional finance talent, strengthened business support, and deepened strategic alignment; financial processing efficiency improvements are manifested in a 5-day reduction of month-end closing cycles, 44% increase in per capita transaction document processing volume, and 52% rise in per capita voucher creation volume; cost-effectiveness is demonstrated through an 8.6% labor productivity gain and 9.2% reduction in cost-to-revenue ratio. A replicable four-component pathway is distilled: top-down design leadership→bidirectional business-finance integration→enhanced data governance→phased ecosystem synergy. This research establishes a theoretical framework and practical paradigm for urban rail transit enterprises to advance financial digital transformation.

Abstract:
Shield construction in the neighbouring bridge pile foundation, especially the close positive underpassing of bridge piles and the operation within 3.0m from the bridge pile foundation, has a significant impact on the bridge structure. Therefore, this thesis takes the actual project as the background and adopts the method of combining on-site monitoring and numerical analysis to investigate the effects of shield close underpassing construction on the deformation of the substructure of existing highway continuous girder bridges, the degree of disturbance of single piles, and the bearing capacity of pile foundations, and to classify the impact level of its effects. The results show that: (1) when the shield is tunneling in the middle weathered grey rock layer, when the horizontal clear distance is 0m, the single pile stress disturbance degree induced by the shield tunneling is larger, and its impact grade is strong impact. (2) When the shield is digging in strongly weathered grey rock layer, due to the insufficient residual bearing capacity of the pile foundation, its impact level is strong impact at 0~3.0m horizontally and 1.0m~3.0m vertically. (3) When the depth of pile foundation embedded rock is 1.0m, 2.0m, 4.0m induced single pile stress disturbance degree is large, and its impact level are all strong impact.

Song Hu, Zheng Chang, Bei Yang, Haipeng Wang, Jie Ma
Abstract:
To address the challenges of accurately predicting passenger flow scale and supporting management decision-making for urban rail transit under fine-grained conditions, this study analyzes the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of passenger flow and influencing factors based on automatic fare collection (AFC) data. The support vector machine regression (SVR) model is selected as the passenger flow prediction algorithm of rail transit, and the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is used to optimize the model parameters. Using passenger flow data from Beijing Metro Line 4 in October 2021, with a time granularity of 15 minutes for passenger flow statistics and prediction, three influencing factors of weather, time period and date type are taken as input variables for model prediction, the accuracy of the proposed model is verified by means of index evaluation (mean squared error, mean absolute error, coefficient of determination, and relative accuracy) and model comparison. The results demonstrate that the proposed model effectively captures the spatiotemporal characteristics of rail transit passenger flow and achieves high prediction accuracy, with a mean squared error of 0.0164 and a coefficient of determination of 0.93. Additionally, a positive correlation is observed between the error values of different model predictions and the scale of rail transit passenger flow. The research contributes to a deeper understanding of the distribution characteristics and evolution of urban rail transit passenger flow, and providing support for optimizing rail transit operation organization, scheduling strategies, and network planning.

Wang chengfang, 陈华馨, Wu Zichao
Abstract:
In the era of stock-based development planning, urban rail transit serves as a critical driver for cities to achieve high-quality development, with significant potential embedded in areas along transit corridors. The Node-Place model, originally proposed for European railway station redevelopment, effectively captures the dynamic interplay between transportation and land use in station areas by balancing "node" (transportation accessibility) and "place" (functional vitality) values. This study transcends traditional isolated evaluation frameworks limited to station-level analyses, extending the Node-Place model application from micro-scale stations to meso-scale transit corridors. Taking three typical metro lines in Guangzhou as empirical cases, it dynamically identifies development potentials and constraints across corridor segments, enabling precise assessment of rail-space synergy. Through Kernel Density Analysis and quantitative corridor balance assessment methods, the research comparatively examines development disparities among corridors and evaluates station-specific potentials at a meso-scale. Optimized strategies tailored to each corridor’s characteristics are proposed, demonstrating the model’s reliability in meso-scale urban analyses. This methodological expansion provides actionable insights for coordinating transit infrastructure with spatial optimization in high-density cities.

Platform Screen Door Controller Scheme Based on All-electronic Computer interlocking System
Abstract:
With the popularization of fully automatic operation systems in major cities across China and the release of operational technologies and management specifications for these systems, the requirements for flexible marshalling, operational efficiency, reliability, availability, and safety continue to increase. Additionally, there is a growing amount of interactive information between signal systems and platform door systems. The traditional hardwired interface method can no longer meet the escalating user demands. Therefore, based on conventional platform screen door control systems, a platform screen door controller (PSDC) solution is proposed. This solution incorporates SIL4-level safety technology based on domestically produced hardware and software, and utilizes full-electronic computer interlocking. It replaces the traditional relay interface between signal systems and platform door systems, achieving an integrated design from logical processing to execution control and status monitoring. The PSDC adopts a fully electronic design, with single boards supporting hot-swapping, eliminating the need for regular maintenance. The system conducts real-time fault detection and provides timely alarms in the event of a failure.S Not only does this approach simplify the commissioning process for the interlocking of train doors and PSDs, but it also significantly reduces the interaction time between the signaling system and the PSD system, thereby enhancing the overall line"s operational efficiency and reducing headways.

Research on the Optimization of Urban Rail Transit Train Timetable Based on Size Routing and Passenger Flow Control
Abstract:
Some major urban rail transit stations are severely congested during peak hours, and there is an urgent need to study train schedules from the aspects of large and small routing schemes and passenger flow control strategies. Taking urban rail transit lines during the morning rush hour as the research object, a train timetable optimization model is established with passenger travel costs and enterprise operating costs as objective functions, considering constraints such as departure intervals, train capacity, passenger flow control, and large and small routing schemes. Adopting a linear weighting method to balance passenger travel and enterprise operating costs, and designing a genetic algorithm for model solving, the Hangzhou Metro Line 4 was used as an example for verification.

HUANG Kai, ZHANG Jianqin, Cheng Xinyue, HU Chaonan, HUANG Xinyi
Abstract:
This study evaluates the coordination efficiency of urban public transportation systems by analyzing bus-subway transfer behavior characteristics, developing a bidirectional “subway-bus” transfer analysis framework based on Beijing's smart card data, which systematically defines subway-to-bus (STB) and bus-to-subway (BTS) transfer modes. An evaluation system encompassing 10 indicators—including transfer bus service area, competition intensity, and spatiotemporal distribution patterns—was constructed, with K-means clustering applied to classify subway stations. Key findings revealed that BTS transfers predominantly occurred during morning peaks while STB transfers concentrated in evening peaks, with both modes exhibiting a consistent 1:2 ratio in travel time and distance between bus and subway segments, alongside an average 6-minute bus waiting time for STB; spatially, high-demand bus transfers clustered around national railway hubs and sub-centers, with intense competition observed along the Tongzhou-Chaoyang corridor of Subway Line 1; clustering analysis categorized stations into five distinct types for each transfer mode, demonstrating tidal passenger flow-driven differentiation. The research provides theoretical and practical insights for optimizing transfer services and enhancing network coupling efficiency in megacities.

zhouweiteng, gaojie, lufang, hanbaoming, hujiangfeng
Abstract:
To address the issues of reduced network transport capacity and increased operational safety risks caused by large-scale passenger stranding when unidirectional service interruptions occur on urban rail transit lines, this paper proposes a train operation adjustment strategy based on virtual coupling technology, wherein bidirectional trains are virtually coupled to traverse single-track sections, thereby enhancing line throughput. A mathematical model is developed to characterize the train adjustment process during virtual coupling, and an algorithm is designed for effective solution finding, validating the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed strategy. Comparative analysis demonstrates that, relative to the traditional reverse-direction operation strategy, the proposed model reduces total passenger waiting time by 16.4% and station waiting time by 14.1%, effectively minimizing the number of stranded passengers. The strategy maximizes the transport efficiency of the interrupted line and significantly improves the flexibility and responsiveness of train operation adjustments.

Optimization of Train Plan of Urban Railway Transit during the Gathering Stage of Large Special Event
Abstract:
To alleviate platform congestion caused by quantities of passengers gathering at metro stations near event venues before large special event, a method of staggering the arrival time of upstream with downstream trains and designing the train skip-stop strategy is proposed, and an optimization model of the train diagram to minimize the risk of platform congestion, the skip-stop times of trains and the waiting time to leaving the platform of outbound passengers is established. In addition, an iterated local search algorithm adapting to the feature of passenger flow of large special event and timetable is designed to solve the problem. The algorithm searches neighbor solutions in two ways, one is by adjusting the running and servicing time of trains, the other is by adapting the stop plans of trains. A case using data of large special event held in Nanchang was used to test the effect of the optimization model and the algorithm. The results show that the heuristic algorithm obtains an excellent solution in a short time. After optimization, the max number of passengers on the platform decreased from 2 951 to 1 006, the average outbound waiting time significantly decreased 94.7 s and the risk of congestion on platform decreased 94%. And strategy of staggering the arrival time of trains and designing skip-stop can effectively reduce the time of passengers leaving the platform and relieve the congestion of the platform in metro stations around the scene during the eve of large special event held.

Abstract:
The development level of transportation in the urban fringe areas is relatively low, and the construction of rail transit will further impact the existing transportation system. It is necessary to optimize the planning and layout of land along the rail transit line around the rail transit station, and create an efficient and dynamic TOD community that integrates rail transit with urban functions and transportation systems, so as to realize rail transit leading urban development.

Analysis of Carbon Emissions During the Construction Phases of Urban Rail Transit Stations, Sections, and Lines
Shi Xiyuan, 姚崇武, 林瑞敏, 田浩东, 蒲静, Guo Ru, 蔡辰, 黄翔峰
Abstract:
This study addresses the issues of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions caused by the rapid development of urban rail transit and proposes a budget quota-based carbon emission accounting method for rail transit. By integrating carbon emission intensity and economic intensity indicators, a multi-level carbon emission analysis framework—comprising “station-section-line”—is constructed. Using the Fuzhou Metro Line 6 Phase I and its western extension project as a case study, the carbon emission characteristics during the construction phase of rail transit are quantitatively analyzed. The results indicate that the production of construction materials is the primary source of carbon emissions, accounting for 50% to 79% of total emissions, with steel reinforcement, concrete, and cement being the major contributing factors. At the station level, the carbon emission intensity per unit area ranges from 1.67 to 3.40 tCO?e/m2, influenced by station scale and structural design; the economic intensity ranges from 1.54 to 3.40 tCO?e per ten thousand yuan, mainly affected by the low-carbon level of rail transit technologies. At the section level, carbon emission intensity varies significantly with different construction methods. Sections using the cut-and-cover method exhibit higher carbon emissions, with the maximum reaching 36.5 tCO?e per double track meter, primarily due to higher demand for steel and concrete. This study provides a scientific basis for low-carbon construction throughout the lifecycle of urban rail transit, and holds significant theoretical and practical value for promoting the green and low-carbon transformation of the rail transit sector.

Comparative Study on Synchronous Adjacent Construction of Shield Tunnel Underpassing Ventilation Shaft
Abstract:
To address the technical challenges of the synchronous close-proximity construction during the shield tunneling of Line 1 of the Dongguan Rail Transit in Guangdong Province, an analysis was conducted on the impact of the construction sequence of the shield tunnel and the intermediate ventilation shaft. A construction plan was proposed that would minimize impact and maximize economic benefits. Based on the actual site conditions, three construction plans were put forward: (1) involves constructing the ventilation shaft after the shield has passed through, (2) involves the shield passing through after the construction of the shaft's base slab is completed, (3) involves the shield passing through after the main construction of the shaft is completed. Through numerical simulation, the impact of different construction schemes on surface vertical displacement, wall top horizontal displacement, wall top vertical displacement, and support axial force was analyzed. From the perspective of impact and economic benefits, the optimal construction plan has been determined. Finally, the impact of the selected scheme and the reliability of numerical simulation were verified through field monitoring data. The research results indicate that the surface settlement and structural deformation are minimal after the main construction of the air shaft is completed and the shield machine passes through, although the construction period is longer. After the completion of the air shaft base slab construction, the construction period for the shield machine to pass through again and for the air shaft construction to be carried out after the shield machine passes through are similar, but the surface settlement and structural deformation are smaller after the shield machine passes through again following the completion of the air shaft base slab construction. This option also has higher economic benefits and is the preferred construction plan. The results of on-site monitoring indicate that all monitoring data are within the controlled range, the selected construction plan is safe and feasible, and the impact of construction is minimal. Additionally, the measured data were in good agreement with the numerical results, validating the reliability of the theoretical conclusions. The findings provide valuable reference for similar engineering projects.

Study on Classification Early Warning Evaluation Method of Subway Flood Disaster
Abstract:
Currently, metro stations face challenges related to either insufficient or excessive responses in flood disaster early warning and emergency management. Achieving advanced dynamic classification for flood disaster early warning is a fundamental approach to preventing major flood incidents in metro stations. In this study, the early warning indicator system and quantification method for each warning indicator are developed based on the analysis of the disaster formation-prevention-resistance evolution mechanism of flood disasters in metro stations. The early warning indicator system includes the following three aspects: the risk of waterlogging and backflow, vulnerability, and disaster prevention and resistance capacities.Based on the relationship between hourly rainfall and meteorological warning levels with water accumulation depth, a quantitative method for assessing the risk of waterlogging and backflow in metro stations is proposed. The evaluation methods of vulnerability and disaster prevention-resistance capacities are proposed based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). By considering the coupling relationships among waterlogging risk, vulnerability, and disaster prevention-resistance capacities, a comprehensive early warning value calculation method and warning level classification criteria for metro station flood disasters are established. Finally, the practical application of the proposed early warning evaluation method is demonstrated through two actual metro stations. The research outcomes can provide a decision-making support for advanced forecasting, early warning, and precise hierarchical response to flood disasters in metro stations.

Analysis of Rail Transit Line Closure Factors in Japan and Its Implications: A Case Study of Low-Ridership Lines
Abstract:
In response to the current situation where some rail transit lines face operational challenges due to continuously declining ridership, the study uses the evolutionary trajectory of Japan's rail transit development as an entry point. Through examining the evolution of Japan's rail transit development and employing multi-case comparative analysis, the research explores triggering factors, policy frameworks, and supporting measures for low-ridership line closures. The findings indicate that changes in demographic and industrial structure, along with transformation in travel modes, are key factors leading to continuous decline in rail transit ridership. Meanwhile, increased maintenance costs due to aging infrastructure and severe imbalance between revenue and expenditure have further deteriorated operational conditions. To address these issues, Japan has established evaluation systems centered on transport density for low-ridership lines at both policy and governance levels, along with implementing systematic governance solutions encompassing ridership cultivation and cost control. For lines requiring inevitable closure, innovative alternatives such as Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) dedicated lanes and demand-responsive transit have been adopted, effectively addressing the problems and ensuring basic mobility needs for residents along these corridors. Through comprehensive analysis of Japan's low-ridership rail transit closures and corresponding measures, the study summarizes experiences and implications, aiming to provide valuable references for future rail transit operation and transformation in China.

Adaptability Analysis of Tram Embedded Rail Track on Long-span Continuous Beam Bridge
Abstract:
In order to study the feasibility of laying the embedded rail track of tram on the continuous beam bridge, an embedded rail track-bridge element model is proposed. The static model of continuous welded rail(CWR) on continuous beam bridge is established. The longitudinal stress and deformation of CWR on the bridge under the temperature load are calculated. The beam-rail relative displacement is selected as the evaluation index to measure the rationality of the laying scheme of CWR on the bridge, and the influences of annual temperature difference of bridge, longitudinal resistance of polymer materials and laying scheme of rail expansion joint on the mechanic characteristics of CWR are analyzed in detail. The results show that the annual temperature difference of the bridge has a significant impact on the beam-rail relative displacement and the rail additional expansion force, which shows a linear increasing trend as the annual bridge temperature difference increases. And the rail additional expansion force and the relative displacement between the bridge and the rail reach their maximum values at the right beam joint of the second continuous beam bridge. When the annual temperature difference of the bridge is 30 ℃, the beam-rail relative displacement is 12.79mm, which exceeds the limit value of 6.20mm. It is difficult to control the relative displacement of beam and rail within the limit by adjusting the longitudinal resistance of polymer materials, so it is necessary to set a rail expansion joint on the bridge. It is recommended to set one grooved rail expansion joint at the right beam end of the 11th and 19th span bridges, so that the beam-rail relative displacement can meet the requirement.

Research on the Construction of a Retrieval-Augmented Generation Knowledge Base for Urban Rail Transit LLMs Based on Knowledge Graphs
Abstract:
The data challenge has become the "final hurdle" for the deployment of metro-scale large language models (LLMs). This study constructs a deep knowledge graph with a "four-dimensional architecture" comprising classification framework, semantic benchmark, feature rules, and logical relationships. By adopting the "one-core, three-axes, and four-layer" framework to categorize industry entities, we establish a terminology dictionary, attribute repository, and entity-relationship tables, forming a knowledge architecture capable of engineering semantic interpretation. Based on this knowledge base serving as the domain knowledge hub for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) technology, we build a complete pipeline from data acquisition → structuring → vectorization → knowledge-enablement. The system packages domain knowledge into reusable knowledge units, providing LLMs with standardized, traceable, and rigorous domain expertise. This significantly enhances the reliability and compliance of metro LLM outputs, offering core support for the industry’s transition toward "data-driven" and "knowledge-driven" innovation.

A Study on the Robustness of the Bus-Metro Double-Layer Network in Chongqing"s Central Urban Area under Cascading Failures
Abstract:
The robustness of transportation networks under emergency events is a key factor in assessing the resilience of urban public transportation systems. To study the emergency response capabilities and resilience performance of complex urban transportation systems during unexpected events, this paper takes the central urban area of Chongqing as the study region. A bus-subway two-layer transportation network model is constructed based on complex network theory to evaluate the robustness and emergency response capabilities of the urban transportation system under different shock modes. Through simulation analysis, the paper delves into the disaster evolution mechanisms and resilience trends of the two-layer network, and investigates the emergency coordination capabilities of subway and bus lines. In response to the vulnerability of single networks in current urban transportation systems during emergencies, an improved load-capacity model is proposed and used to analyze the network resilience under different attack modes. The study results show that: (1) The two-layer network exhibits a slower decline in network efficiency under both shock modes, with its redundancy and multi-path characteristics effectively mitigating the collapse process; (2) In the cascading failure process, the robustness of the two-layer network is consistently superior to that of single bus and subway networks, and the cascading failure caused by the failure of important stations has a more significant impact on network connectivity and efficiency; (3) The two-layer network is more effective in maintaining network connectivity and operational efficiency, especially when facing unexpected events, demonstrating stronger adaptive capacity and robustness. It can effectively share the load, alleviate congestion in single networks, and improve emergency handling efficiency.

Research on the Grounding System of Dual Flow Trains
Abstract:
Unreasonable grounding system can cause problems such as increased train axle potential and circular current, as well as bearing erosion, deteriorating the electromagnetic environment of on-board electronic equipment, and thus pose a threat to the safety of train operation. Therefore, it is necessary to design the train grounding system appropriately. First, uniform chain circuit model is used to model the traction power supply system and dual current train grounding system. Secondly, through traction and power supply calculations, the train current can be obtained. Taking train current as the excitation source, the distribution of train axle voltage and circular current can be obtained. Take the currents of grounding resistors as a measure of the vehicle circular current distribution. Finally, PSO algorithm is used to optimize the train grounding system. After the optimization, the maximum circular current is decreased by about 20%, and the maximum vehicle axle voltage declines slightly. The optimization of the train grounding system in this article presents a guide for the design of the grounding system for dual flow trains, as well as provides a reference for other trains.

A current balancing control strategy for urban rail bidirectional converters based on Modified voltage command
Wang Yong, Yang Duo, Zhang Jingpeng, Zhong Zhihong
Abstract:
Bidirectional substation has advantages in regenerative braking energy utilization of urban rail transit because of its controllable output voltage, unit power factor operation and bidirectional energy flow. Due to the error of the voltage sensor and the inconsistency of the line parameters, the two converters in the substation will produce large unbalanced current, and increasing the feedback coefficient of the output current of the converter can reduce the current difference between the converters, but the fluctuation degree of the output voltage of the substation will be aggravated. On the basis of sag control strategy based on converter output current feedback, a sag control strategy based on substation output current compensating voltage command value is proposed by adding a voltage compensation term proportional to substation output current. The results show that this strategy can improve the current balance between converters and reduce the fluctuation degree of substation output voltage. Finally, the simulation model is built in MATLAB/Simulink, and the example analysis is carried out to verify the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.

Research on Energy-Saving Control Methods for Subway Platform Lighting
Abstract:
The current lighting control methods for subway platforms exhibit issues such as simplistic control mechanisms and low control accuracy, resulting in severe energy wastage and an inability to provide a comfortable lighting environment for passengers. This paper proposes an energy-saving lighting control method for subway platforms based on passenger density, taking into account the characteristics of passenger flow, functional features of platform areas, and passengers' psychological needs. Firstly, by analyzing the spatial characteristics of subway platforms and the temporal psychological changes of passengers, a functional relationship between passenger density in different areas at different times and platform area illuminance is established. Subsequently, a linear programming optimization model is constructed with the goal of minimizing platform lighting energy consumption, constrained by platform illuminance requirements and using the lighting fixture dimming coefficient as the control variable. Finally, the simplex method is employed to solve the model, followed by a case analysis. The results indicate that, compared to full load (all lights on) control methods, the proposed method reduces platform lighting energy consumption by 32.96%, 38.39%, and 59.44% during morning peak, evening peak, and off-peak periods, respectively, while ensuring that the area illuminance remains within a reasonable range. This method effectively reduces subway platform lighting energy consumption and improves the comfort of the platform lighting environment.

Optimization of Overspeed Protection Control Strategy for ATC System in Low Adhesion Environment
Pan Hongliang, Sun Minda, Li Di, Lin Yuanqiao, Yuan Jianjun
Abstract:
In adverse weather conditions such as rain and snow, the adhesion characteristics between wheels and rails of urban rail transit trains differ significantly from those in dry and clear operating environments. To ensure the effective operation of overspeed protection of the Automatic Train Control (ATC) System under such conditions, it is of great essentiality to conduct in-depth research on optimizing the ATC overspeed protection control strategy in low-adhesion environments. The role of the overspeed protection function of the ATC system is elaborated from the following three perspectives: Safety Braking Model, Guaranteed Emergency Braking Rate (GEBR), and adhesion braking mechanism. By analyzing the contradictory relationship between the methods used to determine the GEBR value in specific projects and the adhesion coefficient in actual operations, potential failure mechanisms of the system’s overspeed protection function are explored. A simulation model for the overspeed protection of the ATC system, considering the influence of wheel-rail adhesion, is developed and validated on the MATLAB platform. Addressing the limitations of the current system’s train control strategy under rainy and snowy weather conditions, an optimized control strategy for ATC system overspeed protection in low-adhesion environments is proposed. This strategy enables the fine-tuned adjustment and control of GEBR value and system canopy speed under fixed target conditions.

Research on the Target Speed Values of the Railway from Fuping (Yanliang) to Xianyang Airport
Abstract:
To solve the problem of selecting speed target values for intercity and city area composite functional lines in urban agglomerations, this paper takes the Fuping (Yanliang) to Xianyang Airport Railway (Fuji Railway) in the Guanzhong City Cluster as an example, and systematically analyzes that the line is positioned as an intercity line that takes into account the city area function, while reserving the function of crossing the west extension high-speed railway into the airport. It belongs to the urban area composite functional line. Against the background of the planning adjustment of the Fuji Railway, the paper systematically studies the travel time target requirements of the Xi'an urban agglomeration, and uses the scheme comparison method to propose three speed schemes of 140, 160, and 200km/h based on the distance between stations along the entire line for comprehensive comparison. Based on six factors including time target, line conditions, speed effect, traction energy consumption, engineering investment, and the impact of high-speed railway offline, etc. A comprehensive study was conducted on the aspect, and the results showed that although the target speed of 160km/h increased by 73 million yuan in investment compared to 140km/h, The traction energy consumption has increased by 9.55%, but the speed ratio of the entire line has reached 44.96%, which is within a reasonable range of 30% -50%. The effect of improving driving efficiency and shortening operating time is more obvious, which can meet the needs of entering the central area in 30 minutes and entering the core area in 45 minutes. According to the offline of the West Extension High speed Railway, the direct speed of 160km/h has only increased by 27 seconds compared to 200km/h, but has increased by 3.82 minutes compared to 140km/h. The effect is significant, and it can provide high-quality services for passengers traveling long distances. The line is suitable for the target speed of 160km/h. In the context of improving the quality and efficiency of power lines, the number of lines that integrate multiple functions will further increase. The research ideas of this paper can provide reference for subsequent projects.

Evaluation Model of Urban Rail Transit Construction Project Selection Based on Analytic Network Process
Zhao Qian, Fan Xueyan, Tian Li
Abstract:
The difficulty of urban rail transit construction planning project selection has increased significantly, as a result of the refinement of approval policies and the increase in the urban rail transit network scale. Therefore, the traditional qualitative analysis and comparison method cannot meet the requirements of construction planning project selection. To address the difficulty in selecting urban rail transit projects in large cities, a model for evaluating the selection of urban rail transit construction projects was constructed based on the analytic network process(ANP). Based on the policy requirements and the demands of relevant stakeholders, five evaluation criteria are proposed: urban coordination, social impact, construction implementation cost-effectiveness, post-construction traffic effects, and network service improvement. These criteria are further refined into nine evaluation indicators. An evaluation model operation platform was constructed based on MATLAB, and the evaluation model was verified using a city in Southwest China as a case study. The technical route of the evaluation model conforms to the decision-making logic for selecting urban rail transit construction planning projects. The input data of the evaluation model are all data that can be obtained during the construction planning phase. The output results of the evaluation model can intuitively reflect the priority ranking of the candidate projects.

Study on the Setting Of Rail Cant under Dynamic Changes in Wheel Profile
Zhu Aihua, Li Yuhang, Meng Yuxuan, Xing Tong, Bai Tangbo
Abstract:
In response to the problem of setting rail cant under the dynamic changes of subway wheel profile, this paper measured the wear profile data of LM wheels at five operating mileage, established a subway vehicle system dynamics model, and analyzed the influence of rail cant on the vehicle's straight-line stability and curve passing performance during the dynamic changes of wheel profile; The entropy weight method is used to comprehensively evaluate the dynamic performance of the vehicle, and the optimal rail cant setting scheme is obtained for straight lines and curves with different radii under the dynamic changes of the wheel profile. Research has shown that when a vehicle is running in a straight line, the coupling of rail cant and wheel wear profile has a more significant impact on lateral stability than vertical stability. The dynamic changes in the wheel profile exacerbate the impact of rail cant on vehicle stability. During the curve operation, when rail cant is constant, the vehicle's curve negotiation performance first deteriorates, then improves, and then deteriorates as the wheel wear profile dynamically changes; When the wheel wear profile is constant, as the curve radius increases, the influence of the rail cant on the vehicle's curve negotiation performance gradually increases. Taking into account the dynamic changes in the wheel profile, the optimal matching of the outer/inner rail cant for straight, R300m, R400m, R500m, and R600m curve is (1/30, 1/40), (1/20, 1/20), (1/20, 1/40), (1/40, 1/40), and (1/40, 1/40), respectively.

Exploration of Travel Patterns of Urban Rail Transit Commuters: A Case Study of Changsha, China
Abstract:
This study analyzes the commuting patterns of metro passengers and explores the characteristics of each type of commuter based on the Changsha Metro AFC data from 2023. A Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) is constructed using three variables: the median of the first boarding time, the median of the last boarding time, and the average commuting time. This model classifies passengers into three categories: the classic commuting pattern, the off-peak commuting pattern, and the long-distance commuting pattern. The results show that most passengers follow the classic commuting pattern, the off-peak commuting pattern is the second most common, and the long-distance commuting pattern is the least common. Passengers in the classic and long-distance patterns primarily commute during the regular peak periods (7:30-8:30 AM, 5:30-6:30 PM), while those in the off-peak pattern avoid these peak times, boarding to work time are more evenly distributed, covering the period from 7:00 to 12:00AM, and boarding from work time mostly between 8:00 and 10:00 PM. Regarding commuting time, passengers in the classic and off-peak patterns typically commute for 15 to 30 minutes, whereas those in the long-distance pattern usually commute for more than 30 minutes, with their alighting time also occurring slightly earlier.

Research on the Scope of Urban Rail Transit Control and Protection Area in Karst Region
Abstract:
A specific adjustment plan for the control and protection area in karst region was proposed in response to the problem that the degree of expansion of the control and protection area for urban rail transit in karst geology was unclear. Starting from the mechanism of karst adverse geology affecting the safety of existing structures, through the study of guiding industry standards and the mechanism of karst ground collapse, three important indicators of the scope of control and protection area for urban rail transit in karst region were determined: the scope of influence of external operations, the scope of influence of karst ground collapse and the scope of susceptibility to influence of existing urban rail transit structures. Based on geometric analysis, the maximum scope where the existing urban rail structure suffered a safety risk caused by karst ground collapsekarst, which is induced by external operations, is determined. This maxium scope is adopted as the scope of the control and protection area in the karst region. Finally, the control and protected area scope calculation models of metro station and interval tunnels in two typical karst geological conditions are proposed. Calculations were carried out on Shenzhen Rail Transit Line 16 as an example, and the results can provide a reference for the operation and management of urban rail transit projects in Shenzhen and other karst regions.

Prediction method of tunnel settlement in proximity engineering based on multi-source weighted data and automated machine learning
Yuzhen Han, Xiaofan Nie, Fucai Hua, Jizhong He, Lianwei Zhang, Hao Pan, Lei Zhang, Xuyang Wang
Abstract:
To address the issue of settlement in existing subway tunnels due to the construction of new adjacent tunnels, an automated machine learning approach and a strategy for weighting multi-source data were employed. A predictive model was developed, taking into account tunnel characteristics, stratum properties, and relative positional relationships as input parameters, with the settlement values of the existing tunnels as the output. The model was tested using tens of thousands of simulation data points and real-world data. The findings suggest that while the automated machine learning algorithm can produce a highly accurate predictive model based on simulation data, it may not perform as well with multi-source data sets. By assigning weights to multi-source data, the model's ability to generalize can be improved, leading to an optimized model that specializes in real-world data, based on simulation data. When the quantity of weighted real-world data is comparable to the simulation data, the model's error rate is reduced. Additionally, according to the feature importance of the best-performing model, the stratum loss rate emerges as a critical input parameter for prediction, with the significance of geological conditions, spatial relationships, and construction attributes being nearly equivalent.

Research on Diffusion Mechanism of Backfill Grouting for Metro Tunnels During Operation Period
HAN Zhen, WEI Xueda, CHEN Tielin, WANG Shunyu
Abstract:
In order to study the diffusion mechanism of slurry of backfill grouting for metro tunnel in different working conditions, the mathematical model of the diffusion process is derived according to the physical process involved in grouting, and a three-dimensional numerical calculation program based on the finite element method and the fluid volume method is compiled. Taking the actual project as the background, the diffusion behavior of backfill grouting for metro tunnel under different soil conditions is simulated, and the rationality of the numerical simulation results is verified by indoor model test. The results show that in hard soil, the slurry mainly splits in the direction perpendicular to the lining structure, and it is difficult to form a large area of closed reinforcement behind the lining. In the soft soil, with the increase of grouting pressure, the slurry gradually expands along the interface between the tunnel and the soil. After the grouting is completed, the slurry forms a uniformly distributed closed reinforcement along the tunnel wall. The trend of the model test is the same as that of the numerical simulation, which proves the correctness of the grouting diffusion mechanism behind the tunnel wall.

Service Quality Evaluation and Optimisation Strategies for Railway Stations Based on IPA-KANO Model-- A case study of Shenzhen and Hong Kong Metro Stations
YIN Longbiao, SONG Bingjing, LUO Jiaying, TANG Lei, YANG Qingjuan, LUO Shixian
Abstract:
With the rapid development of China's economy and the acceleration of urbanization, the quality of urban rail transit systems in large cities is of vital importance to residents' travel experience and the functioning of urban areas, and is directly related to the overall quality of public services. However, there is still relatively little systematic research on the level of urban rail transit services. Based on previous research, this paper combines field surveys and national standard documents to propose 21 evaluation indicators in five dimensions (environmental safety, business and service, spatial design, ecological sustainability, and humanistic care) and conducts a survey of 553 valid questionnaires at Shenzhen and Hong Kong subway stations to study the perceptions of subway users on the importance and satisfaction of service elements. Furthermore, based on the IPA-KANO model, a correlation matrix of latent importance and manifest importance is constructed to determine the priority and importance of service elements in subway stations. The results show that the overall score of the commercial diversity and in-station business situation elements is low, while the overall score of the wayfinding system, in-station rest facilities, and exit design elements is high. Combining the research results, this paper proposes design strategies for subway station facilities and spaces based on service quality improvement for different priority and importance levels, which has positive implications for the construction and continuous optimization design of high-density urban rail transit stations in China.

Optimization and Application Study of Slide Plate Structure for Urban Rail Transit Turnouts
Abstract:
The issues of tongue fracture, de-welding between the tabletop and baseplate, and conversion failure occurring on slide plates are major defects in the turnout areas of rail transit systems. The proposed solution of using monolithic cast slide plates, due to complex casting processes, is prone to inclusions and shrinkage porosity, leading to a relatively high scrap rate. Moreover, traditional methods of oiling slide plates for maintenance not only result in significant maintenance workload in switch areas but also cause severe pollution in the track area, eroding the fastener pads and affecting their durability. In response to these problems, optimizations and improvements have been made in key aspects of slide plate design, production, and inspection, including structural design, casting processes, reducing surface friction coefficients, and non-destructive testing.

Research on Shield Tunnel Segment Displacement Monitoring Method Based on BOTDA Technology And Diamond-Shaped Layout
Sunxuebing, Chenjian, Lixiaolong, Zhangliren
Abstract:
Traditional fiber optic sensing deployment methods are predominantly used for one-dimensional or two-dimensional displacement monitoring of tunnel segments, making it difficult to effectively monitor three-dimensional deformation between segment rings. This paper proposes a diamond-shaped layout scheme based on distributed fiber optics, establishing a three-dimensional deformation monitoring method suitable for shield tunnel segments. By analyzing the three-dimensional deformation patterns of tunnel segments, three methods for calculating segment displacement are introduced. To validate the effectiveness of these methods, a simple and operable experimental device simulating three-dimensional deformation of tunnel segments was designed, and indoor tests were conducted. The test results were compared with theoretical calculations, confirming the effectiveness of the proposed diamond-shaped fiber optic layout for segment deformation monitoring, as well as the rationality of the three displacement calculation methods. The results demonstrate that the diamond-shaped distributed fiber optic sensors, combined with the K-value decomposition method, achieve the best monitoring performance for segment displacement. Furthermore, the use of Brillouin Optical Time Domain Analysis (BOTDA) technology enables extensive real-time monitoring of tunnel segment displacement changes.

Study on unsteady aerodynamic characteristics of urban train passing through the most unfavorable length tunnel
FU Zhichen, LI Tian, LI Yifan, ZHANG Jiye
Abstract:
In order to explore the aerodynamic characteristics of urban train passing through the most unfavorable length tunnel, the three-dimensional, unsteady, viscous Reynolds time-averaged N-S equation and RNG k-ε two-equation turbulence model were used to carry out the numerical simulation of aerodynamics of 160 km/h urban train passing tunnel. The results verify that the pressure wave and the movement of the train make the flow field and pressure distribution in the tunnel show different regional characteristics. The pressure change of the measuring point of the car body is mainly caused by the pressure wave and the viscosity effect. The pressure change of the measuring point on the tunnel wall is mainly caused by the pressure wave, the extrusion of the air in the tunnel by the train and the low pressure zone around the train. The pressure wave causes the pressure change on the surface of the train to increase the pressure resistance, and the friction resistance increases when the train enters the tunnel. The amplitude of unsteady aerodynamic force increases when the car body enters and leaves the tunnel. The pressure wave has little effect on the amplitude of unsteady aerodynamic force of the first three car bodies, and has a great influence on the amplitude of unsteady aerodynamic force of the last five car bodies.

Zheng Peng Cheng, Huang Jia Hao, Liu Wei, Huang Xue Mei, Liu Hao, Zhao Dong Mei
Abstract:
Addressing the issue of shallow-buried box tunnel machine passing under significant risk sources, this study takes the close-range underpass of the expressway by the underground passage box tunnel machine at Sanyuanqiao Station of Beijing Subway Line 12 as the background. Numerical simulation was used to precisely model the roadbed pavement structure layer of the expressway and simulate the entire construction process of the underpass. The ground surface deformation patterns caused by the box tunnel machine under the expressway were analyzed, and a parameter sensitivity analysis was conducted on construction parameters such as the support pressure at the pipe head, ground loss, and grouting pressure during the pipe jacking construction. Finally, video monitoring was used to monitor and verify the settlement of the expressway. The results show that the ground surface deformation caused by shallow-buried box tunnel machine can be summarized into three stages: slight surface uplift, rapid surface settlement, and final settlement stabilization. Changes in ground loss and grouting pressure are the most sensitive to settlement variation. The established numerical model can reflect the basic patterns of surface deformation caused by pipe jacking construction, as indicated by on-site video monitoring data. The maximum settlement of the highway surface meets the control standard of ≤15mm.

Abstract:
In response to the diversified and uneven demand for passenger travel, with the goal of improving service levels, this paper proposes an operational mode for urban rail transit, which involves online Flexible Train Composition and Full-length and Short-turn Routings, and integrates NSGA-II algorithm to optimize the operational scheme. Firstly, the paper analyzes the turnaround scenarios of trains under flexible composition conditions and determines the relationship between turnaround time and departure intervals. Secondly, using passenger travel costs and train operating kilometers as objective functions, a mathematical model for the operational mode of urban rail transit with online Flexible Train Composition and Full-length and Short-turn Routings is designed based on the NSGA-II algorithm. Finally, a case study is conducted to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the algorithm for a specific rail transit line. The results show that compared to single routing, Full-length and Short-turn Routings, and mixed operation modes with multiple compositions, the proposed operational mode reduces vehicle operating kilometers by 42.68%, 22.81%, and 15.98% respectively, reduces vehicle utilization by 35%, 23.53%, and 16.13% respectively, and reduces the maximum load factor from 161.71%, 123.54%, and 135.49% to 119.68%. This operational mode effectively reduces vehicle operating kilometers and utilization while ensuring service levels and improving the balance of line load factor, thereby bringing greater benefits and improvements to urban rail transit systems.

Estimation method of urban rail transit passenger route choice based on multi-source data
Zhu Guo, Zhang Lanlan, Liu Jiajun, Yang Haofan, Yin Lichao, Zhang Ning, Zhang Hengwen
Abstract:
The network operation of urban rail transit has introduced diversity in passenger route choices. Given that it is difficult to accurately determine passengers' network route choices based on existing Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) transaction data and probabilistic inference methods, thus affecting tasks such as rail transit network passenger flow allocation and ticket clearing, this paper utilizes network station information to construct an urban rail topology network. It searches for feasible path sets for OD pairs and uses multi-source data, including AFC transaction data, mobile signaling data, and train schedule data, to build a nonlinear optimization model to infer passengers' travel route choices. Experiments based on the Nanjing Metro network show that the model is effective and robust. This study can provide guidance for urban rail transit operations and ticket clearing.

Study of Deformation Control Measures for Concealed Underground Tunnels in Loess Areas Through Existing Stations in Close Proximity
Abstract:
Aiming at the problem of excessive settlement of the station caused by the new tunnel close to the existing station, relying on the project of Xi 'an Metro Line 8 close to the Convention and Exhibition Center Station of Line 2, the numerical simulation and on-site monitoring are used to analyze the control effect of various control measures on the deformation of the existing station during the construction of the underpass. The recommended values of construction parameters of the tunnel in the loess area are given. The results show that : (1) The construction method and excavation footage have obvious effect on the deformation control of the station when it is close to the underpass. After the construction method is adjusted from the upper and lower step method to the on-site CRD method, the maximum settlement of the station is reduced by 50%. After the excavation footage is adjusted from 1.5 m to 0.5 m, the maximum settlement of the station is reduced by 30%. (2) The staggered distance between the upper and lower pilot tunnels and the erection of temporary steel support have a weak effect on the deformation control of the station, which can be appropriately adjusted according to the engineering geology and on-site monitoring. (3) Based on the project, the construction scheme of on-site CRD method + 0.5m excavation footage + 5m single-side cavern upper and lower guide hole staggered distance + 5m spacing temporary steel support is adopted. The on-site monitoring shows that the maximum settlement of the station side wall is ?3.76mm, which is basically consistent with the numerical simulation. The maximum settlement of the track bed and the track is ?2.55mm and ?2.51mm respectively, which meets the requirements of the station deformation control standard.

Gather-distributing Characteristics of Passengers between Facilities in Subway Station
Abstract:
Passenger gather-distributing is determined by dimension of facilities, walking behavior of passenger, passenger density and path choice preference, which is basis of quantifying the distribution of passengers in subway station. Firstly, based on the density of passenger, passenger state-space was constructed and its steady-state probability was presented. Secondly, state-transfer model of passengers was constructed, and expression of passenger blocking and unblocking probability was depicted. Finally, in order to illustrate the measurement is valid, the changing of passenger distribution in station was verified. The experimental results showed that when passenger density exceeds the free-flow density, because the actual passenger flow exceeds a certain threshold, traffic congestion occurs in small-capacity facilities. And the actual passenger gather-distribution features are not only related to the capacity of a single walking facility, but also to the bottlenecks of the network.

LIU Jijian, MENG Xin, LAN Huifeng, WANG Qianying, HE Yuesong, ZHANG Fengjun, ZHANG Ling, JIANG Wenwen
Abstract:
Piston wind will be formed in the process of subway train running in the tunnel, which will have a certain influence on the flow field in the tunnel. It is of great significance to study the characteristics of piston wind for rational utilization of piston wind. Based on Bernoulli equation of unsteady flow, a lumped parameter theoretical model of piston wind in subway tunnel is established, and the characteristics of unsteady piston wind are analyzed. In order to verify the accuracy of the theoretical model, a reduced size model test bench of 1:16 was established, and the piston wind speed was tested experimentally. The comparison between the model value and the measured value shows that the Pearson correlation coefficient is higher than 0.98, and the average error is lower than 13%, which verifies the correlation and accuracy of the theoretical model. By using the lumped parameter theory model, the influence of different factors on the piston wind in subway tunnel is explored, and the grey correlation degree is analyzed. The results show that the congestion ratio is the biggest factor affecting the ventilation effect of the tunnel piston, followed by the train length and train speed, and the tunnel length is the least. Based on this, a fitting formula for the ventilation effect of the piston in common subway tunnels in China is proposed.

The influence of PCA scale on the correlation model between urban built environment and rail passenger flow
Abstract:
Objective: With the rapid development of urban rail transit, the subway, as an important public transportation, provides an efficient large-scale travel option. Previous studies generally believe that the built environment around subway stations affects the passenger flow, but the size of PCA (Pedestrian Catchment Area) has not yet been unified. The purpose of this study was to verify whether the size of PCA affects the outcome value of the correlation study between metro ridership and the built environment. Methods: Taking 25 stations of Nanning Metro Line 1 as an example, five indicators were selected as independent variables, including residential population, jobs and commercial facilities, and the actual passenger volume of the stations was used as the dependent variables. The OLS regression model was used to compare the results of model fitting and influencing factor analysis under different PCA radius variables. Results: There were differences in the research results of the relationship between passenger flow and built environment in the data collection of PCA in subway stations within different catchment areas. For Nanning, the radius of the PCA is 600m, and the fitting of the correlation model between subway passenger flow and built environment is better than that of 300m and 900m. Conclusion: The scope of PCA will lead to inconsistency in the results of the study on the association between subway passenger flow and the built environment. In the future, it is necessary to conduct model analysis for different PCA radii and determine the appropriate PCA scale according to the fitting effect to improve the accuracy of the research.

Abstract:
As a catalyst for urban renewal, the construction of urban rail transit provides important opportunities for improving the quality of urban space of transit station area in the downtown, and also brings new impetus to the inventory development. By incorporating the "Quality" dimension into the traditional "Node-Place" model to indicate the perception of spatial environment, this paper constructs the “Node-Place-Quality” Rubik's Cube state model, which aims to assess the renewal potentials of transit station areas in the downtown. By taking the central area of Tianjin as case study, the modeling results show that the proportion of dependent and imbalanced types of transit station area is as high as 35.49% and 38.71%, respectively, while balanced and coordinated types account for 22.58% and 3.22%, respectively; The transit station areas with high renewal potential are concentrated in the edge of the Inner Ring of Tianjin, and the renewal potential of transit station under construction is also relatively high, while the transit station areas with low renewal potential are agglomerated in the central business district (CBD). These findings provide theoretical support and policy insights for the urban renewal in the transit station area in the metropolitan`s downtown.

Research on the design method of FAO failure handling plan based on FMEA-EWM
Wen Qian, Wang Yu, Zhang Kun, Chen Jiadi, Niu Ru
Abstract:
The fully automatic operation (FAO) system has become the mainstream of urban rail transit in China. Considering factors such as safety and timeliness of emergency response, at present, FAO lines in China still operate in a staffed manner, failing to give full play to the "fully automatic" advantage. To address the concerns of operation units and improve the efficiency of emergency response for equipment failures, this paper proposes an emergency plan framework related to FAO line directed by key equipment based on extensive survey on the current emergency plans of fully automatic operation lines in multiple cities. Aiming at the problems of insufficient completeness and poor operability of current emergency plans, a design method of emergency plans for fault handling that integrates failure mode analysis and entropy weight method is proposed. Considering five factors such as the severity, occurrence probability, scope of influence, difficulty of isolation, and difficulty of operation restoration, objectively calculate the comprehensive fault impact index, combined with system design information and operation log data. Based on this impact index, operators can determine the fault handling strategy and design the emergency plans. Finally, taking the axle counter equipment as an example, the equipment fault mode is classified and an emergency plan is designed targeted with 85 months of fault log data of a certain line. The results show that the completeness and operability of the failure handling emergency plan have been effectively improved.

Abstract:
Guided by the need to address the shortcomings of subjective selection and the mismatch between capacity and demand in the selection of existing medium and low capacity urban rail transit standards, the standardized and procedural decision-making system for standard selection has been developed. Firstly, the 4 criterion and 16 index evaluation system has been established, considering constraints such as peak hour passenger flow, minimum transport capacity reserve, and the number of train operations. A multi-objective optimization model has been constructed to determine the set of candidate rail transit systems. Besides, the CRITIC-TOPSIS algorithm has been constructed to determine the weight coefficient values of each indicator and the optimal solution distance, thereby determining the optimal track system. Finally, using the S-line as the background for example verification, 5 alternative track systems were evaluated through a quantitative model. The CRITIC and TOPSIS algorithms were implemented using Python software. The decision value of rail transportation system is in order of self-guided monorail, cross-seat monorail, light rail, guideway rubber wheel and low and medium-speed magnetic levitation, so that the optimal rail system of line S is self-guided monorail. Analyzing the standardized scoring matrix and index weight values of each type of rail system, the research results show that the model and algorithm proposed in this paper can effectively solve the problem of low and medium-capacity rail transportation system selection.

Experiment study on mechanical performance of steel fiber reinforced concrete segment with oblique bolt joint
YANG Weiwei, JIA Yonggang, WU Fan, LU Weidong, Cui Hongzhi, Chen Xiangsheng
Abstract:
To solve the problem of unclear mechanical properties and damage mechanism of steel fiber reinforced concrete segment of shield TBM with oblique bolt joint. In this paper, a segment structure with an external diameter of 6.2 m and a thickness of 350 mm was used as a prototype to carry out bending performance tests of steel fiber concrete segment with oblique bolted joints under 4 horizontal axial force conditions. The deformation characteristics and flexural performance of the segment joints under different axial force levels were analyzed, as well as the failure process and mechanical properties under failure conditions were investigated. The results show that the higher the axial force on the segment joints, the higher the joint stiffness, causing larger bending moments required for joint opening. That is, it can actively increase the joint axial force by increasing the bolt preload or applying annular prestressing to improve the joint stiffness. The compression of the sealing gasket under joint axial force causes stress concentrations in the sealing groove, and it is necessary to select a suitable sealing gasket or optimize the sealing groove structure in the design. It is shown that enhancing the compressive strength of the top concrete and reducing the insertion angle of the oblique bolt are favorable to the improvement of the joint bearing capacity. The research results can be used to guide the segment joint design.

Abstract:
To verify the effects of rail damping devices in rail corrugation treatment for vibration reduction tracks, rail damping devices were added to the ladder-type sleeper track and the steel-spring floating slab track respectively in this paper. Vibration and trackside noise characteristics of the two vibration reduction tracks were reported, and the developments of rail corrugation were tracked. The results show that the rail damping devices installed on the ladder-type sleeper track can receive positive effects of vibration and noise reduction in a wide band range, which can reduce rail vibration and trackside noise by 9.7dB and 11dB(A), respectively. The rail damping devices installed on the steel-spring floating slab track can reduce rail vibration and trackside noise by 8.3dB and 3dB(A) in its working frequency range, respectively. The long-term tracking tests show that installation of rail damping devices can at least double the development rates of rail corrugation on vibration reduction tracks.

Identification of Redundancy Critical Stations in Rail Transit Networks Based on the Shortest Time Path
WU Peng, LI Dewei, DAI Zhicheng
Abstract:
Redundancy is a crucial attribute of resilience. To address the neglect of time redundancy of critical station identification in rail transit networks, firstly, A time-weighted rail transit network model based on Space L and multi-line coupling is proposed, considering the transfer time between stations. Secondly, an attack mode of node deletion is used to simulate station interruption scenarios, and a station redundancy index, network redundancy index, and redundancy evaluation model based on the shortest travel time change are proposed. Finally, Chongqing rail transit network in 2024 is taken as a case study, and the differences between the redundancy index and betweenness evaluation results are compared. The results show that the average station redundancy index is 0.7998, with 3.87% of stations having a redundancy index K-means clustering center of 0.2788, indicating poorer redundancy for some stations which are more critical. Redundancy critical stations are mainly located near the network ring in longer lines extending outward, while betweenness critical stations are mainly interchange stations where multiple lines intersect, showing significant differences between the two groups of critical stations. Compared to interruptions at betweenness critical stations, interruptions at redundancy critical stations have a more significant and targeted impact on network performance, thus verifying the effectiveness of the redundancy critical station identification method. The proposed method can provide references for resilience optimization of urban rail transit networks.

Research on Passenger Feature Identification in Surveillance Videos of Urban Rail Stations Based on Skeleton Movements Pattern Recognition
GUAN Yang, JIA Limin, TAO Sihan, DOU Fei
Abstract:
In the field of urban rail transit, the demand for safe operations and the provision of excellent services is increasingly growing. Video surveillance systems face new challenges in identifying passenger abnormal behaviors such as falling, fainting, and fighting. Traditional monitoring analysis methods have poor performance in the application of video surveillance image abnormal behavior recognition, with high false-negative rates and complex parameter adjustments, making them difficult to efficiently apply to actual urban rail station monitoring scenarios. Therefore, this paper proposes a human posture feature recognition framework based on skeleton pattern recognition, introducing a posture estimation technology based on human skeleton. The Alpha Pose model is used to accurately estimate the posture of passengers, and combined with the Spatial Temporal Graph Convolutional Networks model, it achieves abnormal behavior recognition in the monitoring scenario of urban rail stations. By achieving 72.3 mAP on the COCO dataset and 82.1 mAP on the MPII dataset, the performance is improved by up to 17% compared to the OpenPose model, verifying the effectiveness and practicality of the model. The results show that the method proposed in this paper not only improves the recognition speed of passenger behavior but also has the ability to adapt to complex scenarios, providing a new technical solution for urban rail safety monitoring.

Aiming to solve the difficulties posed by the difficulty in constructing supporting structures for deep excavations near obstacles on one side, a combined support system of retaining piles, tensioned anchor rods, and inclined anchor cables with grouting was put forward. The study utilized Midas software for modeling, and single-factor optimization analysis schemes were designed from five aspects: grouting area strength, spacing and diameter of tensioned anchor rods, number and length of segments for inclined tensioned anchor cables. The rationality of this scheme was validated through engineering examples. The results show that the simulated trends of horizontal and vertical displacements of slope protection pile tops match the monitoring results. The vertical displacement exhibits a parabolic trend,and the horizontal displacement exhibits an arch shape. The maximum horizontal displacement of pile tops decreases as the spacing of tensioned anchor rods decreases, and increases as the diameter of tensioned anchor rods, grouting area strength, and the number and length of segments of inclined tensioned anchor cables decrease. During construction, the deformation of subway ancillary structures is well-controlled and significantly less than the pile cap displacement of the adjacent deep excavation. Top settlement shows a fluctuating upward trend, while deep horizontal displacement has a middle-high, end-low pattern at different excavation stages. As excavation depth increases, the maximum horizontal deformation of the subway structures shifts downward along the shaft wall.

Abstract:
Relying on a subway station entrance and exit channel pipe jacking project, combined with the on-site monitoring data for jacking parameter inversion, the refined pipe curtain-corridor-strata pipeline corridor jacking finite element model considering the locking joints was established.The deformation of strata with and without pipe curtain is analyzed comparatively, and the necessity of pipe curtain is verified. Then, the effects of pipe diameter, pipe spacing and pipe thickness on surface settlement, pipe curtain cost and joint gap were systematically investigated through comprehensive tests, and a comprehensive evaluation system of TOPSIS was established to evaluate the adaptability of the pipe curtain with game combination assignment.Subsequently, BPNN was used to fit the mapping relationship between the pipe curtain parameters and the adaptability, and finally the genetic algorithm was used to search for the optimal parameter combinations.The study shows that the parameter that has the greatest influence on the adaptability of the pipe curtain is the diameter of the steel pipe, followed by the clear distance of the steel pipe, and finally the thickness of the steel pipe.Considering the safety, water resistance and economy, the recommended design parameters of the locking pipe curtain are the steel pipe diameter of 990 mm, the steel pipe thickness of 20 mm, and the steel pipe clearance of 160 mm.

SHI Zhuangbin, LIU Xiaoqing, Qian qian, HE Mingwei, LIU Yang
Abstract:
The rapid expansion of urban rail transit significantly promotes the connectivity and accessibility of urban networks. The application of complex network theory in transportation network is becoming more and more extensive, but the influence of urban rail transit network structure on passenger flow changes remains to be further studied. Based on the panel data of urban rail transit from 2012 to 2020, this paper uses the time fixed effect model to construct the influencing factor model of passenger flow change. By constructing the time fixed effect model and comparing the models, this paper tries to explore the influence of urban rail transit network topology and its coupling relationship with urban layout on passenger flow change. The results show that with the development of urban rail transit network, the complexity of traffic network structure is getting higher and higher, and the number of transfer hub stations is increasing, which plays an important role in network connection. The change of topological variables of urban rail transit network has a significant impact on the increase of passenger flow. The densification of network distribution and regional hub are helpful to improve transfer connection and attract more passenger flow. The coupling coordination degree has a significant impact on the change of passenger flow. The coupling relationship between population distribution and line layout needs to be considered in the planning of rail network according to local conditions. Finally, relevant policy suggestions are put forward from the aspect of rail transit network construction planning, which can provide theoretical basis for the relevant policy formulation of urban rail transit construction planning.

Analysis of Commuting and Job-Housing Spatial Characteristics Based on Light Rail Corridors: A Case Study of Addis Ababa
Li Jingwei, Ji Qianyun, Feven Tesfay Belay
Abstract:
To address the growing population and transportation demands, Addis Ababa constructed a light rail transit system in 2015. This study aims to analyze the impact of the light rail system on residents' commuting and the spatial distribution of employment and residential areas. Based on official city maps, resident questionnaires, and interview data, a multiple linear regression model was employed to analyze the influence of different commuting methods on commuting time. The findings indicate that the light rail system has a limited effect on improving residents' commuting efficiency. Further GIS spatial analysis reveals that the overall distribution of residential and employment areas in the city is uneven, with suburban residential density being more than five times that of urban areas. The analysis results reflect that the failure to coordinate land use with the development of the light rail corridor is a primary reason for the low commuting efficiency. The conclusions advance the understanding of the adaptability and implementation strategies of the Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) model in countries with low-density sprawl and relatively underdeveloped economies.

Research and Application of Grounding Leakage Protection Scheme for Suspension Monorail Transit DC System
Abstract:
[Objective] Through the analysis of the suspended monorail transit power supply system, it is necessary to set up DC system grounding leakage protection to ensure the safety of equipment and personnel under various working conditions.[Method] Although conventional voltage type grounding leakage protection devices can achieve protection functions, they cannot achieve selective tripping and expand the fault range. According to Kirchhoff's current law, an innovative section current type grounding leakage protection scheme is proposed. Through the application of inverse time current curve and differential current components, accurate and rapid positioning of fault sections is achieved, and corresponding sections are prioritized for tripping and cutting off faults, resulting in a qualitative improvement in system selectivity.[Resule&Conclusion] Based on the analysis of the protection object, protection range, protection type, and action time limit of 64D protection and frame current protection, it is concluded that the two types of protection do not conflict and can be used simultaneously. Through practical engineering applications, each protection function is sensitive and reliable. By calculating the key parameters of 64D protection, a protection scheme and system setting value are proposed for practical engineering applications, optimizing the selectivity of the protection system, effectively reducing the range of faults, and ensuring safe operation.

Han Weijie, yangguofu, lixinhai, 曹成勇
Abstract:
In response to the relevant issues of the size effect of deep circular shaft excavation for intercity railway, based on a foundation pit project of Shenzhen-Daya Bay Intercity circular working shaft, the load-structure method are used to systematically analyze the stress and deformation characteristics of the circular excavation enclosure structure under different diameter conditions. The calculation results of the 3D spatial structure model and 2D elastic foundation beam model are compared. The influence of excavation size effect on the performance of circular enclosure structure is discussed. The results show that circular diaphragm wall is actually a quasi-circular structure, and it also produces a certain vertical bending moment under the action of soil and water pressure, which indicates that it is in a multi-directional stress state. It is feasible to use the simplified 2D equivalent model to design the circular foundation pit retaining structure, and the calculation results are more conservative than the 3D model. The spatial dimension effect has a significant influence on the performance of the circular enclosure structure, and its circumferential effect is very obvious when the diameter of a deep circular working shaft is less than 30 m .

SANG Guoyang, LIU Li, YA Shangsong, WANG Lingxiao, CHEN Xia, CAO Xiaobin
Abstract:
Traction current return system is an important part of traction power supply system. If the current return system fails, it will cause damage to the primary and secondary equipment of traction power supply system, and even affect the normal operation of trains. At present, there is no research on real-time measurement of traction return current distribution for 25kV AC power supply system subway. In order to study the return current distribution law of its traction substation and verify the shortcomings of SCADA system's monitoring of return current, this paper designs a synchronous testing method to measure the current of each return cable. Based on the return path, it is divided into three groups: station return, parking lot return, and ground return, And studied the proportion and variation pattern of reflux current in different paths, and compared it with SCADA reflux current data.Research has found that although the reflux current fluctuates significantly over time, the reflux distribution ratio remains stable for the majority of the time, with only a few times experiencing fluctuations. The average reflux distribution ratio in each time period differs by less than 1%. However, the SCADA system cannot accurately reflect the changes in reflux current. This project has obtained the reflux ratio relationship of the traction substation through actual testing. The measurement and analysis method can provide reference for the reflux ratio relationship of similar substations and also provide direction for the improvement of SCADA system reflux monitoring.

Abstract:
Abstract: With the acceleration of urban development, the construction speed of urban rail transit in various cities is gradually strengthening, The TOD comprehensive development model centered on public rail facilities has been widely applied,and more and more transfer stations and integrated transport hubs are emerging.The domestic rail transit TOD is gradually developing towards diversification, and the concept of station city integration is helping the rail transit TOD to reach a new peak. Large scale rail transit TOD projects generally require planning in the early stages of the project, based on advanced planning and coordinated design methods, which are more conducive to the implementation of the main body to create a comprehensive transportation hub project with core characteristics in the area. This article focuses on the problem of mismatch between the core development area of Dongguan and the timing of rail transit construction. It summarizes the practical path from early planning to implementation based on line network and detailed planning research, and innovatively proposes the construction of public rail facilities co construction engineering. The model of advanced planning, coordinated design, and integrated construction brings new design concepts. The research results indicate that the construction of public rail facilities according to the underground space model has solved the problem of urban comprehensive hub locations being unable to be developed synchronously due to the inability to initiate and implement rail transit projects, providing new research directions for subsequent project development, design, and implementation, and providing successful cases for government decision-making.

Lu Qingquan, Chen Jialiang, Zou Chao, Li Xuming, Ma Liqiu, Wang Zhe
Abstract:
In order to quickly and reasonably predict the vibration response of buildings along subway lines, the building structural system is decomposed into two parts: a propagation structure and a response structure, based on the theory of mechanical mobility. The bearing structure is assumed to be a beam element model, and the slab structure is considered a plate element model. The mobility formula and corresponding matrix expressions of each unit system are derived, and the train-induced structural vibration response model is then constructed. The reliability and correctness of the model were verified by combining it with on-site testing. The study shows that the structural responses predicted by the mobility theory-based model in both the time domain and frequency domain have a high degree of consistency with the measured vibrations; in the frequency domain, the maximum error of the center frequencies of each 1/3 octave band does not exceed 5 dB, indicating that the proposed train-induced structural vibration response model can quickly and effectively predict the structural vibration response, and the outcomes can provide theoretical support for vibration prediction along subway lines.

Travel Mode Choice Behavior under Rail Transit?Abnormal Conditions based on Cumulative Prospect Theory
Abstract:
When the traffic system is abnormal, passengers are prone to have blindness, panic, conformity and other psychology, and make incomplete rational decisions.This is inconsistent with the complete rational assumption and complete information assumption in the existing passenger travel behavior model, such as MNL. Therefore, the incomplete rationality of passengers under abnormal conditions is described through the cumulative prospect theory,and consider individual differences among passengers to solve the inability of classical MNL model.Firstly, comprehensively considering the four factors of time, cost, comfort and convenience, a model of rail transit non normal passenger travel mode selection based on cumulative prospect theory is constructed.It used to characterize the incomplete rationality of passengers.Afterwards,a questionnaire survey is conducted to calibrate the model parameters for rail transit abnormal conditions. Based on the survey results, a differentiated reference point following a Poisson distribution is constructed to describe the reference point dependency phenomenon of the model.Individual differences among passengers are introduced into the model to explain the essence of different decision-making outcomes among passengers.Finally, the results of the case study indicate that the Poisson distribution test value with the introduction of differentiated reference points meets the test criterion of greater than or equal to 0.05. It explain the essence of passengers' different decision-making results, and presenting a trend of comprehensive prospects fluctuating with the reference points.This model focuses on abnormal situations and reflects the incomplete rationality and individual differences of passengers when facing abnormal situations.The overall accuracy is higher than MNL model, and the average absolute error is reduced by 4.9% .The accuracy of microscopic calculation results has been improved by 25.4% compared to the MNL model. It can provide theoretical support for traffic demand prediction under abnormal conditions of rail transit. However, under the influence of the principle of loss aversion, the division rate of certain methods will be reduced. The accuracy at the micro level needs further improvement.

Analysis on the causes of water leakage at shield segment joints and research on optimization measures
Abstract:
In the overall structure of shield tunnels, segment joints are the weakest part of the waterproofing system and the most important part of waterproofing design. Currently, shield tunneling construction is undergoing many attempts and innovations, and changes in structural design and construction methods may lead to leakage of water or damage to sealing pads at segment joints. In order to solve the problem of water leakage at the joints of shield tunnel segments, starting from the waterproof principle of elastic sealing gaskets, this paper analyzes and summarizes the material, bonding process, and structure of elastic sealing gaskets, and finally proposes specific optimization measures. In addition, based on the actual case of the new segment shield tunnel project in Jiangxinzhou, Nanjing, this study analyzes the impact of tunnel innovation on joint waterproofing, proposes many optimization measures, and continuously monitors the actual waterproofing effect and tunnel forming quality after the tunnel is completed. The monitoring results show that the tunnel forming quality is good, and the waterproofing effect is far superior to traditional tunnels.

Study and Optimization of Mask R-CNN Algorithm for Surface Defect Detection on Railway Tracks
Abstract:
Surface defect detection technology plays an important role in railway inspection to effectively prevent railway accidents and ensure operational safety. This paper addresses the issues of poor detection accuracy and low sensitivity to small targets in existing railway defect detection technologies. For the Mask R-CNN (Mask Region-based Convolutional Neural Network) algorithm model, a model improvement scheme is proposed by incorporating an attention mechanism. This scheme introduces a Channel-wise Spatial Module (CSM) into the feature extraction network for instance segmentation defect detection, effectively eliminating interference information, obtaining multi-scale feature representation, and obtaining more spatial information and better shallow information, thereby enhancing the edge detection capability of surface defects on railway tracks. In the same experimental environment, compared with the Mask R-CNN algorithm, after adding CSM, the mAP value of the Mask R-CNN model increased by 6.5%. Among them, the AP values for the recognition of "depression," "crack," and "fatigue wear" defects on railway tracks increased by 6.3%, 6.9%, and 6.1%, respectively. Horizontal comparison shows that the Mask R-CNN model with CSM, compared with the Fast R-CNN model, improved the segmentation effects of the three defects by 11.6%, 12.5%, and 12.9%, respectively; meanwhile, compared with the Faster R-CNN model, the segmentation effects of the three defects improved by 8.8%, 10.0%, and 10.3%, respectively. The work in this paper demonstrates that the Mask R-CNN model with CSM can better recognize three types of defects, improve detection accuracy and sensitivity to small targets, and provide more secure and powerful technical support and guarantee for intelligent track inspection.

Study on the early temperature field and strain variation law of concrete on the side wall of subway station
Abstract:
This paper monitors the construction process of side walls by embedding temperature and strain sensors, and compares the measured data with the Midas civil finite element model to summarize the law of temperature field and stress field in the construction process of side walls. Field monitoring and numerical analysis show that ,the hydration heat reaction of concrete in the early stage is relatively fast, and the maximum value is reached only 20h after pouring. The temperature is high in summer, and the cooling rate is relatively slow, about -0.40℃/h, and the cooling rate of the middle layer is relatively fast. The time when the compressive stress reaches the maximum value is close to the time when the temperature reaches the maximum value. Then it enters the shrinkage deformation stage. After the critical condition of 0 stress occurs, the tensile stress increases gradually with the continuous decrease of temperature, and the tensile stress at each measuring point tends to be stable at 50h after pouring. The finite element model is close to the field monitoring data, which can play a certain role in prediction, and can play a theoretical basis and reference role for the actual fracture control in engineering.

Zhang Xiangliang, LIU YONG SHENG, 蔡志端, 王孝顺, 罗四倍, 单丰, 祝艳华
Abstract:
When a short-circuit fault occurs between positive pole of high-voltage DC circuit for a train and its carbody inside the station in a straddle seat monorail DC traction system, this causes carbody grounding relay(GR)of all trains inside the station to action and circuit breakers of the train to trip.Meanwhile, this also brings about multiple 64D grounding protections action and trip circuit breaker of the DC feeder.The fault arouses loss of power to the DC traction system. This is necessary to identify the faulty train and restore normal power supplying of the DC traction system as soon as possible in order to reduce the impact of the accident.First, the paper analysed characteristic differences in the amplitude of grounding current and negative receiving electricity current for faulty train and normal train when short-circuit occured between the positive circuit and the carbody based on the equivalence model of DC traction bipolar power supply system for straddle monorail transportation. Second, identification method of faulty train was proposed based on the comparison of grounding current and negative current amplitude. The faulty train identification procedure was activated when the grounding current amplitude was greater than the setting value. In this case the train was judged to be faulty if the magnitude of grounding current was greater than the magnitude of negative receiving electricity current,but it was recognised as a normal state if the former was less than or equal to the latter. Finally, the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed method was verified by MATLAB simulation and field test. The method is simple, practical and highly reliable, which can provide a strong guarantee for the safe operation of straddle-seat monorail traffic.

Zhihong Zhong, Zhongping Yang, Fei Lin, 石春珉
Abstract:
At present, the common braking method adopted by most urban rail trains is the electropneumatic braking. However, due to the disadvantages of poor controllability and slow response of air brakes, it will result in inaccurate parking and poor comfort. As well as issues such as greater loss, if you can replace air brakes with electric brakes, you can overcome these problems. In order to truly realize pure electric braking and make it necessary to replace air braking, on the one hand, it is necessary to satisfy the maximum torque output capability in the full-speed range as much as possible; on the other hand, it is necessary to ensure the accuracy of the speed measurement at low speeds. The controllability of the torque output and the control effect of the jerk have good performance. Based on the development history of pure electric brake, this paper expounds the status quo of pure electric brake application and the main problems to overcome. From the perspectives of high speed and low speed, the difficulties of pure electric brake and the corresponding problems are described in detail. The solution to the problem, and summarized for each difficult issue, and looked forward to the future development direction.

Research on Overvoltage Suppression during Operation of Rail Potential Limiting Devices in Urban Rail Transit
Abstract:
In order to ensure personal safety, over voltage protection devices are usually installed in stations and depots of operating lines, OVPD), However, the overvoltage generated during the reset of the rail potential limiting device OVPD may cause the OVPD section II to act or even lock, resulting in the rail potential limiting device short circuiting the ground and rail, becoming a path for stray current leakage. With the continuous increase of urban rail operation mileage, stray currents have caused serious problems such as DC bias in the surrounding power system and corrosion damage to the urban pipeline network, which have seriously threatened the safe operation of the power system and oil and gas system. This paper proposes a suppression method for the overvoltage caused by the mis-operation of the rail potential limiting device caused by abnormal rail potential, which exacerbates the leakage of stray currents in urban rail transit. The method involves constructing a simulation model of the overvoltage generated by the OVPD opening of the rail potential limiting device, constructing an arc experimental platform using N1250 contactors, and conducting grid mounted testing on actual lines. The results show that after using the overvoltage suppression method proposed in this article, the peak operating overvoltage generated by the opening of the rail potential limiting device will be significantly reduced, reducing the possibility of OVPD mis-operation and reducing stray current leakage.

Finite element analysis of the influencing factors on the floating of shield tunnel segments in soft soil strata
张宝成, 贺文喆, guo yongjian, 罗治斌, 黄明利, 吴啸宇
Abstract:
In order to study the influence of excavation speed and slurry gel time on the segment floating of shield tunnel, this paper uses Winkler elastic foundation beam to establish a three-dimensional finite element load structure model of shield segment based on the shield interval between Tongyuan Road Station and Xinggang Street Station of Suzhou Metro Line 5, and analyzes the influence of excavation speed and grouting gel time on the segment floating and dislocation. The research results indicate that the floating and staggering of the segments increase with the increase of shield tunneling speed. The floating mainly occurs at the bottom of the segments in the non solidified slurry section, and the staggering mainly occurs at the junction of the non solidified slurry section, the shield tail section, and the slurry solidification section. To avoid the floating and staggering of the segments exceeding the specification requirements, the shield tunneling speed cannot exceed 10 cycles/d. Secondly, with the extension of grout gel time, the segment floating amount and dislocation amount gradually increase. The use of quick setting and early strength double grout for back grouting is conducive to the control of shield tunnel floating.

Research on smoke exhaust efficiency of urban rail transit station hall under different smoke exhaust vent modes during fire
Abstract:
In response to the current rough smoke exhaust conditions in the public area of the subway station hall, which generally involves opening all smoke exhaust outlets in one smoke control zone, the existing smoke exhaust layer is damaged to a certain extent and the smoke exhaust efficiency is underground. This article focuses on eight different smoke exhaust conditions in the public area of a certain urban rail transit station hall in Zhengzhou, and studies the smoke exhaust efficiency of opening smoke exhaust outlets in different positions. Through FDS simulation, this article obtains the distribution maps of visibility, temperature, and CO concentration over time under different working conditions. It is concluded that: 1) When a fire occurs in the public area of the subway station hall, the more smoke exhaust outlets are opened, the better, but it is determined by the opening position of the smoke exhaust outlet; 2) Opening the smoke exhaust outlet during the horizontal spread stage of smoke will interfere with the horizontal stratified flow of smoke, intensify the heat and material exchange between the upper layer of smoke and the lower layer of cold air, resulting in a decrease in the height layer with a temperature of 60 ℃ and a visibility of 10m, which is not conducive to personnel evacuation; 3) The smoke exhaust outlet near the smoke blocking vertical wall in the middle of the public area on the station hall level needs to be opened normally to smoothly discharge the accumulated fire smoke in that area.

Study on Environmental Vibration and Propagation Law of Brick-Concrete Structure Induced by Subway
Abstract:
In order to solve the problem of environmental vibration of adjacent brick-concrete structures caused by subway operation.In this paper, a 7-storey brick-concrete structure was used as the study object. The vibrations at tunnel, outdoor ground and structural floor were measured to analyse the propagation law of vibration along the path of "tunnel - ground - structure", and thus the possible reasons for exceeding standards were analyzed: The shallow burial depth of the tunnel, the proximity of buildings to the tunnel, and their coexistence in the same soil layer result in poor attenuation of vibration by the soil. Additionally, the resonance of certain floor slabs within the structure leads to vibration responses exceeding the evaluation standards for outdoor ground and the first floor indoors. The finite element model of this brick-concrete structure was further established, and the measured vertical acceleration at the bottom of the columns was used as the load. The accuracy of the model was verified by comparing the measured floor response. The calculations confirm the amplification effect in the middle or top floor. The influence of the number of floors, storey height, slab thickness and wall thickness on the spatial distribution of vibration response was obtained by parametric analysis. The conclusions can be informative for the environmental vibration evaluation of such structures.

Measured Analysis of Vibration Source Strength in Metro Tunnel Influenced by Vehicle Condition Factors
LIU Wenwu, FENG Qingsong, LUO Xinwei, QI Yingrui
Abstract:
In order to analyze the influencing factors of the vibration source strength of subway tunnel, taking the straight line section of a subway line as the research object, the vehicle-induced vibration signals and velocity signals were collected synchronously, and the time-domain and frequency-domain characteristics of all-day test samples were statistically analyzed. The results show that during peak hours in the morning and evening, the vibration response inside the tunnel may not be completely maximum, and the degree of dispersion of the vibration source intensity is directly related to the vehicle state. The average difference in the VLZ of the tunnel wall measurement points caused by V1 and V2 vehicles is 6.7 dB; Take more than 40 sets of test samples to calculate the intensity of the vibration source, and the results are closer to the daily sample mean; The main frequency of tunnel vibration caused by the wheel rail system shifts with the change of vehicle speed. The vehicle speed shows a strong linear positive correlation with the vibration acceleration level of the track bed and tunnel wall. For every 10km/h increase in vehicle speed, the vibration increases by about 1.7dB and 2.6dB, respectively; When the speed difference is within 10km/h, the vibration source intensity changes within 1dB, and when the speed difference is between 10-20km/h, the increase is about 1.5-2.2dB; The coefficient of speed-corrected CV is calculated to be 18.5, which is close to the coefficient used for train speed correction in the vibration prediction formula; the tunnel wall vibration is more discrete in the low-frequency band below 40 Hz, but the contribution of this band to the source strength of vibration is small, accounting for 15.29%, and the dominant frequency band is 50-63 Hz, which contributes to the source strength of vibration by 59.55%. The research results can provide a reference for the further accuracy of the vibration prediction formula, and provide a theoretical basis for improving the accuracy of the metro tunnel source strength test results.

WU Yukai, Tang Zeren, 吴玉凯, Liu Xian
Abstract:
In order to control the assembly quality of partition walls in large-diameter tunnels, this paper investigates and analyzes the assembly attitude of prefabricated partition walls of Shanghai Airport Link Line. After specifying the coordinate system of partition walls, assembly attitude of the partition walls with and without initial assembly error is studied, and attitude information of the partition wall and analytical expression of its bottom plane equation are obtained under each working condition. The analytical results reveal that: 1) When there is no initial assembly error of partition walls or only the initial assembly error of translation or rotation, the selection of different control points and jacking sequence of regulating system will not affect the assembly control of partition walls. And the assembly attitude can be controlled according to the obtained expression of the attitude of partition walls. 2) When partition walls have only initial assembly error more than translation or rotation, the attitude of partition walls should be controlled according to the adjustment system, which is based on different jacking sequences of regulating system. And then the assembly of the partition wall can be controlled according to obtained expression to improve the assembly accuracy of partition walls. 3) The analytical formula is applied to the construction of partition walls, and good engineering application results have been achieved.

Numerical simulation analysis of the dynamic loads distribution in subgrade of metro depot
LIU Yaqiong, XIE Yunqi, REN Lei, ZHAO Xiaohua
Abstract:
The design standards for the roadbed structure of the metro depot have not been clearly defined in the "Metro Design Specification(2013)", and the current practice of using the main line standard results in high and unreasonable costs. This article relies on the Zhengzhou Metro Tieluxi Depot project to carry out numerical simulation analysis of dynamic loads under different subgrade structures, and studies the variation law of dynamic load distribution. The dynamic load generated by ballastless track at the same train speed is smaller than that of ballasted track. The increase in the thickness of the subgrade surface layer has a more significant effect on reducing the dynamic load generated by train operation. However, an excessively thick foundation will increase the stiffness of the roadbed, which is not conducive to stress dissipation. Therefore, when the foundation thickness is increased to a certain extent, the effect of reducing dynamic loads gradually becomes less significant. The numerical simulation results show that the design scheme of the metro depot subgrade can appropriately increase the parameters on the basis of "0.3+0.9" and "0.4+0.7", ensuring that the dynamic and static stress ratio of the subgrade is strictly less than 0.2, achieving the best level of safety and economy.

Bie Bilong, 黎少东, 潘彦凌, 琚永刚, Shu Yao
Abstract:
A large number of practical cases have shown that fatigue failure of subway turnstile structures is mainly caused by modal resonance. If the modal characteristics of the entire vehicle, equipment, and turnstile are not properly matched, abnormal vibrations and noise may occur in the rail vehicles. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct modal analysis and mistuning design of subway vehicle turnstiles to ensure smooth operation, reduce structural vibrations and noise, and improve the safety and ride comfort of the vehicles. By adopting a modal identification method for vehicle turnstile under operating environmental excitation, the modal parameters of the turnstile structure before and after wheel profiling and under different loading conditions were identified. According to the test results, it can be concluded that wheel profiling has little effect on the modal parameters of the structure, but as the load increases, the modal frequencies of various orders generally increase. This is related to the increase in the stiffness of the turnstile air spring due to the increased boundary constraints caused by the increased load. By comparing the test results with the simulation analysis results of the turnstile structure under free and constrained states, it is found that it is necessary to simulate the actual boundary constraint conditions as much as possible to ensure the accuracy of the finite element model. This provides a basis for subsequent researchers to study modal mistuning design.

Study on Risk Control of Shield Undercrossing Operation Station in Water-rich Soft Stratum
Abstract:
In order to reduce the disturbance to the existing metro station caused by shield tunneling in water-rich soft stratum, taking the construction of a T-type transfer station with shield tunneling passing through the operation station as the engineering background, the cutter configuration and tunneling parameters of the shield tunneling cutting the diaphragm wall without glass fiber reinforcement are studied by theoretical analysis and field measurement, and the key risk control measures of the shield tunneling passing through the operation station are proposed. The results show that the shield can pass through the diaphragm wall safely by using high strength shell cutters with different cutter heights, reducing the tunneling speed and thrust of the shield, and increasing the torque of the cutter head, and that the disturbance to the floor can be reduced by taking the interaction force between the floor of the operation station and the stratum as the additional load during the construction of the underpass and taking the static soil pressure at the center of the shield increasing by 1.2 times as the set value of the chamber pressure; The settlement of the existing structure can be well controlled by filling the gap between the shield shell and the stratum with clay shock, and filling the building gap behind the segment with the combination of synchronous grouting, secondary grouting and radial grouting; The deformation caused by the construction of shield undercrossing operation station is mainly settlement. The deformation caused by the construction of shield cutting diaphragm wall is mainly horizontal displacement, accounting for more than 75% of the total horizontal displacement.

Research on the bridge-rail interaction of small radius curved bridge and effect of fastener resistance under temperature effect
QIAO Hong, HUANG Chengying, WANG Shaoqin, DAI Zuhao, RUAN Liangfeng, DU Xianting
Abstract:
To study the temperature effect on the bridge-rail interaction of small radius curved bridges, with a curved tram bridge taken as engineering background, an integrated rail-bridge-pier spatial finite element model considering continuous welded rail was established and verified. The bridge-rail interaction law of the straight bridge and the small-radius curved bridge was analyzed and compared, and the magnitude and distribution patterns of additional expansion force of rail, lateral force at bridge pier top and longitudinal force at bridge pier top of the small-radius curved bridge under the overall heating conditions and local heating conditions were compared and analyzed, based on which three fastener arrangement schemes were proposed and compared. The research results indicate that under the overall heating condition, on small radius curved bridges, the lateral displacement of the steel rail and the lateral force at bridge pier top are larger than those of the straight bridge. Under the overall heating condition, as the bridge temperature increases, the additional expansion force of rail gradually increases. The expansion force of the rail and the longitudinal force on the top of the pier when the overall heating condition is used for calculation are larger than those with the local heating condition used for calculation. Compared to constant resistance fasteners, small resistance fasteners can significantly reduce the additional expansion force of rail, but too small longitudinal resistance can easily lead to large fracture joints when the rail breaks. The results of the study provide a reference for the design of continuous welded rail on small radius curved bridges for trams.

Distribution of particulate matter in subway and prevention and control measures
Abstract:
To investigate the sources and distribution patterns of PM2.5, PM10, and TSP particles in subway stations, this paper conducted a particulate matter concentration detection in 11 stations along two subway lines in a certain city. The testing areas encompassed outdoors, public areas of stations, equipment management rooms, and corridors inside the platform end doors. Particulate matter concentrations of PM2.5, PM10, and TSP were measured in each area, and samples of particles were collected from both outside the station and on the platform. Elemental analysis of the particulate matter was conducted, and further analysis was performed to investigate the distribution of PM2.5, PM10, and TSP particles in different outdoor concentration levels in each area. The results of the particulate matter composition analysis revealed a significant increase in iron content in the particles within the subway stations compared to those outside. The iron-containing particles inside the subway stations often exhibited flaky and irregular shapes, differing from those outside. This indicates that the primary source of particulate matter is friction between wheels and rails. Analysis of the concentration measurements in various areas revealed that when outdoor particulate matter concentrations are low, the distribution patterns of particles of different sizes are similar, with the overall trend being higher concentrations inside the tunnels than inside the stations and outdoors. However, when outdoor particulate matter concentrations are high, PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations generally exhibit higher levels inside the tunnels than outdoors and inside the stations. Regardless of outdoor particulate matter concentration levels, TSP concentrations in public areas and train carriages are consistently higher than outdoors. Furthermore, based on the detection results, relevant suggestions for the prevention and control of particulate matter in subway stations are provided.

Optimization of fire water supply control system in subway station
Abstract:
The purpose of this paper was to explore the optimization method of automatic pump start of fire water supply control system for municipal direct pressurized water supply in subway. By describing the development history of fire control pipe network and system control in subway stations, aiming at the problems such as non-action of pump start and too long time of station fire control system, field test and analysis of test data are adopted in subway stations, and the changing characteristics of fire control system pressure and flow are mastered through practice. The conclusion is drawn: The municipal water pressure affects the setting of the action value of the pressure switch. A new method for determining the values of pressure switch, flow switch and stabilizer pump set based on municipal water pressure threshold was established. Because the setting value of the pressure switch is affected by the municipal water pressure, the station municipal direct pumping fire control system should adopt high pressure regulation. It is found that the pressure switch and flow switch are complementary under different working conditions, so the flow switch and pressure switch are set as automatic pump start function to improve the reliability of automatic pump start. The logical relationship between the action value of the pressure switch, the flow switch and the pressure regulator pump group should be adjusted according to the different setting schemes of the pump room, so as to avoid the risk of the pressure switch flow switch operating incorrectly to start the pump due to the leakage of the fire control pipe network, and to solve the problem that the automatic pump starting time is too long or too fast. To explore the fire control system optimization scheme in line with the characteristics of subway stations, and effectively improve the efficiency and safety of the subway fire water supply system.

Research on Key Problems of Real-time Optimization of Braking Performance of Urban Rail Transit Trains
Abstract:
The train control system of urban rail transit is mostly based on fixed parameter algorithm, which has problems such as inaccurate braking and deviation of parking position in the face of environmental changes, thus increasing the risk of collision and directly threatening the safety of train operation and passenger comfort. Aiming at the shortage of real-time and accuracy of the existing automatic control system, an intelligent upgrade scheme of train control system is proposed. Firstly, an accurate train dynamics model is established by parameter fitting, and then a sliding mode adaptive robust control strategy is used to adjust the train control system in real time. Through the simulation of Beijing Metro Line 5, the braking performance index of the train model and the optimization algorithm of the on-board controller are calculated, and the optimization ratio of the parking accuracy reaches 91.36%. The results show that the proposed optimization measures are effective in improving braking performance and have important application value and practical significance in urban rail transit system.

WANG yiran, CHEN yafei, LI yanfeng, LI lei, XIA sanxian, ZHANG xiaowei, ZHU lan
Abstract:
In response to the lack of experimental verification for the smoke control and ventilation models in tunnel fires without fire doors in the cross-passageway of urban rail transit projects, this study conducted a multi-condition ventilation and smoke control experiment on a typical tunnel of Zhengzhou Metro. The experiment focused on different locations of train fires within the tunnel. By testing the smoke control wind speeds in both the fire tunnel and cross-passageway under different conditions, we aimed to verify the impact of not installing fire doors in cross-passageway on tunnel fire ventilation and smoke control, as well as evaluate the effectiveness of different ventilation and smoke control models. The results showed that for stations with fully enclosed platform doors and one cross-passageway in test section tunnels, when no fire doors were installed (i.e., with open fire doors), all tested ventilation and smoke control models achieved wind speeds greater than 2m/s blowing towards the side where the fire occurred at door openings. At the same time, exhaust wind speeds inside the fire tunnels also exceeded 2m/s, meeting relevant regulations" requirements for smoke control. It is feasible to cancel fire doors in similar projects. Different ventilation and smoke control models yielded varying wind speeds at door openings. Models using two tunnel fans supplying air to the fire tunnel and pressurizing non-fire tunnels along with four exhaust fans extracting smoke from the fire tunnel achieved higher wind speeds at cross-passageway entrances.

Wang Yizhe, Qiu Yuzhi, Wang Zijia
Abstract:
In order to identify key stations in urban rail transit networks and study their evolution over multiple years, we construct a key station recognition method based on truncated singular value decomposition (TSVD). OD data during the morning peak hours from 2011 to 2019 in Beijing are selected as the dataset. The analysis of network passenger flow evolution and identification of key stations in subway networks are conducted using the indicator of key eigenvectors and compared with the identification results obtained from complex network methods. The analysis demonstrates that, TSVD can be effectively applied to identify key network stations considering OD distribution, and the resulting identification outcomes to some extent better represent the spatial distribution of network passenger flow. In terms of application results, it is discovered that the spatial layout of key stations in Beijing's urban rail transit tends to develop towards multiple centers, such as the Northwest Xi'erqi, as well as the Southwest Fengtai Science Park. These stations gradually form network passenger flow centers and establish connections with each other. Stations like Southeast Tu Qiao and Northeast Fengbo also exhibit a preliminary trend towards becoming network passenger flow centers.

Analysis on vibration effect of immersed floating slab track based on fluid-solid coupling
LU Ruiquan, YANG Lin, YUAN Dehao, NIU Xiaoli
Abstract:
A numerical model of immersed steel spring floating slab track vibration based on fluid-solid coupling theory was established. The vibration reduction of the floating slab track with different accumulation water depth under train running considering track, water and tunnel base was analyzed. The results show that the water under the floating slab can influence its performance of vibration reduction. When the depth of the accumulation water was lower than the 1/2 height of the slab side space, the effect on the vertical vibration of rail and slab was small but on the vibration of tunnel was obvious which would increased about 5dB on vertical vibration level. When the water filled with the entire height of the slab side space, the vertical vibration of rail and slab was reduced while the vertical vibration level of the tunnel at its peak value frequency increased about 13.4dB (30.7%). The insertion loss of the tunnel vibration level also increased about 13.36dB and 13.67dB at 63Hz and 80Hz respectively. Therefore, when the height of the water under the floating slab was over the 1/2 height of the slab side space, which means the vertical vibrations of the slab and tunnel at their peak value frequency were larger of 5dB and 10dB respectively than the normal condition without water, the maintenance work to drain away the water should be carried on immediately.

Li Yueyang, Du Yufeng, 刘飞, Wang Weifeng, Li Zhe, Jin Tianrui
Abstract:
In order to meet the lifting requirements of the track bed in the subway design, it is necessary to set the track panel well hole (28m×5m) in the roof and middle plate of the open-cut station or the open-cut section. The large opening of the track panel well seriously weakens the stiffness of the plate, and the traditional two-dimensional frame section calculation under the construction condition cannot meet the design requirements and the actual situation. In addition, it is very important to choose the supporting structure of the track panel well section, which is closely related to safety and economy. Based on a specific case of the design of a stacked subway track panel well in the high water pressure fine particle stratum in the east of Beijing, this paper introduces the comparison and selection ideas of the project envelope and main structure, and the key problems of structural calculation, hoping to provide reference for the design of track panel well in the future process of subway construction.

Zhu Aihua, Bai Yang, Bai Tangbo, Wang Yali, Zhang CaiSheng, Li Anyan
Abstract:
In order to address the issue of long-term dependence caused by the extended time span of wheel wear data and improve the prediction accuracy, this paper an improved BiLSTM metro wheel wear prediction model is proposed by optimizing Bidirectional Long short-term memory network (Bi-LSTM) with Sparrow search algorithm (SSA). Firstly, the hyperparameters of the Bi-LSTM algorithm, such as the number of neurons, iteration count, input batch size, and learning rate, are optimized using the SSA. This optimization process is conducted within a specified range to obtain the optimal values of these hyperparameters. This optimization process aims to obtain the optimal parameter values. Subsequently, the SSA-BiLSTM network model is constructed using these optimal parameter values to predict and analyze wheel wear. Tread wear and flange wear are taken as the research objects, and the measured historical wear data of wheel No.1 of the metro’s carriage # 1 are used as inputs to metro and validate the model, and compare the prediction results with those of MLP, LSTM, BiLSTM and SSA-LSTM models. The results show that the improved bidirectional long short-term memory network model has higher wear prediction accuracy, and the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of tread wear is reduced by 13.28%, 10.32%, and 1.47%, and flange wear by 9.5%, 0.46%, and 0.02%, respectively, and the model"s excellent generalization ability was verified by comparing it with the wear data of the first wheel of the same metro trains 2 and 4. The results confirmed that the model exhibits strong generalization capabilities. The wheel wear prediction model with improved BiLSTM network proposed in this paper can effectively improve the prediction accuracy, providing theoretical support for intelligent management of metro wheelsets and extending the wheel"s lifespan.

ZHOU Yanjia, YANG Guohua, WANG wei, LI Wentao
Abstract:
Focusing on the reuse of tunnel muck, this article aims to prepare tunnel muck from Suzhou Metro Line 8 into synchronous grouting material that meets the engineering requirements for different geological conditions by adjusting solidification material compositions through laboratory experiment. In this project, a new double-line shield tunnel of Metro Line 8 intersects with the existing double-line tunnel of Line 3 at Tangzhuang Station, forming a unique situation with two layers of four tracks. The muck-produced grout used in this project have a consistency value of 113 mm, and the 7-day and 28-day strengths exceed 1 and 2.5 MPa, respectively, meeting the engineering specifications. Based on the deformation monitoring data, it is evident that the muck-produced grout effectively controls the impact of upper tunnel construction on existing structures. Utilizing shield tunneling muck to prepare synchronous grouting slurry can achieve the resource utilization of muck, while promoting green construction and reducing the construction cost of around 750 thousand Yuan per kilometer (double line).

Analysis of Escape Risk and Braking Strategy for Commuter Trains under Rescue Treatment
Abstract:
With the vigorous development of urban railways, the rescue scenarios during their operation urgently need to be analyzed. The "public transportation operation mode" of urban trains results in shorter running times, as same as to subway rail trains, which requires higher timeliness for rescue than high-speed trains. However, the capacity of urban trains cannot fully meet the above operational needs. This article establishes a longitudinal dynamic model for multi-formation train coupling, and Beijing New Airport Line was token as an example to analyze the potential risk of train slip caused by the existing urban rail transit operation under rescue scenario The results show that when coupled on the maximum slope, the train will slip and generate a high impact rate, which will reduce passenger comfort. When parking on a slope, the brief loss of train braking force also poses a risk of slipping due to the brake-traction switching process. At the same time, the comfort of passengers during the rescue process was analyzed, and the results showed that when the coupling speed reached 4km/h, the comfort of passengers significantly decreased, exceeding the limit. A speed limit for commuter train rescue coupling based on actual operation was developed, as well as a holding braking mode under rescue treatment to meet the safety and comfort of the passengers.

Numerical and Experimental Studies of the Dynamic Coefficient of the U-shaped girder for Urban Rail Transit
Abstract:
The mechanic behaviors of the U-shaped girders in urban rail transit are different in the spanning and transverse directions, and the dynamic coefficient of 1.40 in the current design code will lead to material waste. Considering the bidirectional stressing characteristics, the U-shaped girder of the Nanjing S6 Urban Rail Transit is selected as the study case, and the train-bridge coupling dynamic model is established. By comparing the tested and calculated results, the model effectiveness is verified. Through the studies changing the train speed and the train formation, the dynamic coefficients of different responses are analyzed. The results indicate the girder bottom only bears longitudinal tensile stress, but it carries both of transverse tensile and compressive stress at the same section. The maximum dynamic coefficients of the deflection, the longitudinal stress, and the lateral stress are 1.231, 1.216, and 1.362 respectively, which occur at the full and fixed loaded cases of the 6-car formation. When determining the dynamic coefficients of a single-track U-shaped girder, the influence of train formation should be considered, and the values should be distinguished according to the stressing directions. It is recommended to take 1.30 when calculating the deflection and the longitudinal stress, and to remain 1.40 when calculating the lateral stress. The study is to propose the reasonable values for the dynamic coefficients of the U-shaped girders, and provide reference for the structural optimization.

Cooperative passenger flow control method of urban rail transit based on reinforcement learning
WANG Dianyuan, ZHAO Xingdong, DOU Fei, ZHOU Xu
Abstract:
The rapid urbanization and population increase have led to a continuous rise in passenger flow in urban rail transit, which presents significant challenges to the safety, comfort, and stability of rail transit operation. In order to solve the problem of excessive load rate of urban rail transit during peak hours, we propose a cooperative passenger flow control method for urban rail transit, which is based on deep reinforcement learning. This method uses the full load rate between intervals as its state, the flow restriction strategy as its action, and the passenger flow experience as its reward. Then, it generates the optimal flow restriction scheme through multi-round reinforcement learning training. Subsequently, we validate the effectiveness of this method by constructing simulation experiments using the Beijing subway network data. The simulation results show that the cooperative passenger flow control method can effectively reduce the passenger flow in the section, relieve the congestion in the peak hour section, and improve the passenger travel comfort.

ZHANG Yunxia, SU Ziyi, LI Xiaofeng
Abstract:
Aiming to advancing the energy conservation project of subway stations, this study concentrates on the optimization of control strategies of the ventilation and air-conditioning (VAC) system. In this study, Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou were selected as the representative city for the cold region, hot-summer cold-winter region and hot-summer warm-winter region, respectively. Besides, model for subway station with platform screen door system was established in Transient System Simulation Program (TRNSYS). The performances of the automation control and optimized timetable control were compared in terms of station environment, energy performance and renovation costs. Results show that both automation control and optimized timetable control can effectively improve the station air temperature during the cooling season, achieving similar station environment. For energy use, automatic control can reduce the annual energy consumption of the VAC system by 41%~49% compared to the current conventional timetable control, while optimized timetable control can decrease the annual energy use by 38%~48%. As for renovation costs, optimized timetable control merely requires the improvement of management without supplementing devices, while automatic control needs higher equipment and maintenance costs. Therefore, it is recommended to adopt optimized timetable control for subway stations to achieve energy-saving potentials.

LIU Jiangtao, GAO Haiyang, WEI Ru, CHEN Tingji, YANG Lian, YAN Qiaona, KONG Weijun
Abstract:
Metro traction current changes dynamically in train operation, resulting in magnetic induced voltage in the peripheral grid circuit, and the resulting induced current is one of the key issues that cause transformers to undergo DC demagnetization. The generation of magnetic induction voltage is affected by a variety of factors, in order to quantitatively analyze the size of the contribution of different influencing factors, this paper firstly uses the magnetic induction voltage formula to derive the main influencing factors of the magnetic induction voltage of the subway, and then establishes the "subway line-transmission line" magnetic coupling boundary element model to simulate and analyze the influence of the key factors on the induction voltage, and then analyzes the influence of the key factors on the induction voltage. In the stage of smooth running of the train, the induced voltage is affected very little, and at 1000m, the induced voltage has been attenuated by 90%, and then we constructed the back propagation (BP) neural network to generate the magnetic induced voltage, and analyzed the contribution of each influencing factor to the magnetic induced voltage by using mean impact value (MIV), which shows that the main influencing factors in the equivalent loop of the subway are the same as those in the grid, and the results show that the magnetic induced voltage in the equivalent loop is the same as that in the grid. The results show that the magnetic induction voltage in the equivalent loop is more likely to be influenced by the equivalent loop length, whose contribution is 44.38%, and the relative distance has the smallest contribution of 21.31%. Thus, it is the area of the power system constituting the equivalent loop that is the most important factor affecting the value of the magnetic induction voltage.

Measurement and Analysis of Wheel-Rail Noise in Long-Span Bridges of Urban Rail Transit
Abstract:
To investigate the wheel-rail noise characteristics of urban rail trains passing through long-span bridges, this study focused on the Dongshuimen Bridge of Chongqing Rail Transit Line 6 and the Chaotianmen Bridge of Chongqing Rail Transit Loop Line. Noise measurement data were collected during the passing the bridges. The study analyzed and compared the spectrum characteristics of the noise, summarizing the relevant patterns. The results indicate that the wheel-rail noise generated by rail trains on large-span bridges exhibits a wide-frequency characteristic, with the sound pressure level spectrum curve showing a “high in the middle, low on both sides” pattern. The noise peak of steel truss arch bridges is concentrated around 800Hz, and structural noise generates a relative peak in the range of 63-80 Hz. In contrast, the noise peak of steel truss girder cable-stayed bridges is in a higher frequency range. The three-span continuous steel truss suspension arch bridge exhibits a wide and high amplitude noise spectrum, with its noise being significantly greater than that of the steel truss girder cable-stayed bridge, especially in the mid-to-high-frequency range of wheel-rail noise.

Research on The Communication Machine Room Upgrade Scheme of Existing Subway Station Transfer Transformation
Abstract:
With the continuous development of subway construction in China, the network operation mode of subway is formed, and more and more transfer nodes are formed. Due to planning and other reasons, the subway lines built earlier did not reserve late transfer access conditions. Therefore, in the process of new line construction, the transfer transformation and upgrading of existing stations are often accompanied by new stations. Among them, the transformation and upgrading of communication transmission system is one of the key work. Communication system is the traffic nerve of urban rail, which can be divided into public security communication system, civil communication system and special communication system. It supports the information exchange between the control center and stations and vehicles, and provides stable communication service for passengers. This paper discusses the communication room transformation and communication capacity expansion requirements brought about by the transformation of transfer stations under the operating conditions of existing lines, and proposes the enhanced MSTP construction scheme for public security transmission system and the backbone transmission system OTN construction scheme. Xitucheng Station of Beijing Metro Line 10 intersects with the newly built metro Changnan Line, and the changes in the building structure and function of the transfer station have put forward new requirements for the equipment systems deployment and equipment upgrade of the communication system. This paper applies the design scheme to the transfer project, verifying the rationality of the proposed scheme, and the research results provide an application reference scheme for the communication system upgrade of the transfer transformation of the existing station.

Abstract:
In order to solve the problem of unclear carbon emissions from future operation and carbon reduction targets of the urban rail transit network, based on the statistical analysis of operational energy consumption of Xi 'an urban rail transit from 2018 to 2022, this paper uses the carbon emission factor method to calculate the carbon emissions from operation in the past five years. The energy consumption of Xi 'an urban rail transit in the next five years is predicted by the index method, and the carbon emission is predicted. According to the binding requirements of comprehensive energy consumption intensity proposed in the Action Plan for Green Urban Rail Development of China's Urban Rail Transit, the total energy saving target of Xi 'an urban rail transit operation in the next five years is quantitatively analyzed, and then the constraint value of total carbon emission and the target value of carbon reduction are determined. The research result indicates that approximately 174.9×104tCO2e total carbon emissions are generated during the operation of Xi'an urban rail transit from 2018 to 2022. In this condition, it is expected that 305.5×104tCO2e total carbon emission will approximately be generated during the next 5 years of operation, in which traction and station power consumption are the main sources of carbon emission. If the comprehensive energy intensity reduction target proposed by the association is achieved, compared with the predicted carbon emissions, the carbon emissions of the whole network are expected to be reduced by about 13% in 2025; the carbon emissions of the entire network are expected to be reduced by about 15% in 2027; In total, it is expected to reduce carbon emissions by about 10% over the next five years.

Identification of Risk Factors of Excavation based on TOPSIS Method
Abstract:
The complexity of deep excavation construction arises due to the influence of various potential risk factors on the construction procedure. In addressing this issue, this study introduces an intuitionistic fuzzy TOPSIS method aimed at identifying higher potential risk factors. Initially, potential risk factors are determined through an analysis of failure modes derived from prior excavation accidents, insights from practical engineering projects, and the expertise of engineering professionals. Subsequently, a risk evaluation hierarchy is established, and weights are assigned to experts and criteria using intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. To validate the proposed method's feasibility, a practical project associated with deep excavation is employed. The results indicate that the TOPSIS method effectively identifies high-risk factors. This developed method serves as a valuable decision-making tool for the safety risk analysis and control of excavation construction in similar engineering projects in the future.

Quantum Computing Based Optimization for the Last-train Connection Planning Problem in Urban Rail Transit Networks
YUAN Ye, XV Hao, WANG Xi, WANG Zhenming, WEI Yan, XV Huizhang
Abstract:
In recent years, there has been a rapid development in the process of urban rail transit networks construction in China. During the last train service period, the operational times of different rail lines vary, often causing passengers difficulties in successful transfers. Therefore, it has become an important issue to formulate a reasonable last-train connection scheme. Aiming at the optimization problem of last-train connection planning in urban rail transit network, this paper selects the arrival time of last trains as decision variables, and constructs a mixed-integer linear programming model to minimize the number of failed transfer passengers. To address the high model complexity caused by the expansion of network scale, firstly, the original model is reconstructed into a two-stage problem with smaller computation scale; subsequently, the first-stage optimization model is transformed into a QUBO (Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization) model that can run on a quantum computer. The algorithm development and experimental testing are carried out based on the coherent Ising machine's optical quantum computing technology. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, this paper takes Beijing subway network as an example. Quantum computing results are compared with those from commercial solvers, confirming the feasibility of the model transformation method and quantum computing approach proposed in this paper. This provides technical support for the further application of quantum computing in solving complex optimization problems in the rail transit.

LUI Fei, TANG FangHui, LIU Linting, HU Wenbin, HA Jinbing, QIAN Cheng
Abstract:
Subway traction energy consumption can be reduced by optimizing subway timetable. In response to the impact of passenger flow fluctuations and train delays on the actual energy-saving rate, this paper proposes a Dueling Deep Q Network (Dueling DQN) deep reinforcement learning timetable optimize algorithm, combined with a real-time subway power supply current flow calculation model. An interval iterative optimization model based on the spatiotemporal distribution of dynamic passenger flow is established to suppressing the impact of passenger flow variation. Adaptive Moment Estimation (Adam) and root mean square propagation (RMSProp) methods are applied to predict the Q-network and target Q-network, to improve the model's convergence speed. While considering minimize the passenger transfer time and waiting time and total travel time, this model allows energy-saving timetable seamless switching. The test results of Suzhou Line 4 demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Under the condition that the arrival time deviation at transfer stations less than 2 seconds and the overall operating time of trains remains unchanged, the traction energy-saving 5.27%, and the train kilometer energy consumption decreases 4.99%.

ZHOU Yuan, LYU Weifan, WANG Yingyi
Abstract:
To address problems of numerical methods for continuous medium such as finite difference method and finite element method finite difference method and finite element method being unable to simulate the discrete medium characteristic of sandy cobble stratum, based on block-based Discrete Element Method, discrete element model is built to simulate the process of shield tunnelling through sandy cobble stratum, the displacement of joint plane and deformation of surrounding rock and liner is studied; and finite difference model, where sandy cobble stratum is transformed into equivalent continuous medium, is built to simulate the process of shield tunnelling, for the purpose of comparing the differences in numerical results between the discrete element model and the finite difference model. The results show that, in the discrete element model, the area where the positive normal displacement of the joints exceeds 0.1mm is mainly concentrated at the inverted arch, the area where the negative normal displacement of the joints exceeds 0.1mm is located at the hance, and the area where the shear displacement of the joints exceeds 0.4mm is mainly concentrated at the inverted arch. The joint shear displacement caused by the disturbance of shield tunnelling is greater than the joint normal displacement, so the potential failure mode of the surrounding rock in the sandy cobble stratum may be shear failure. The deformation of surrounding rock and liner in the discrete element model is greater than that in the finite difference model, so utilizing Discrete Element Method to verify the design of tunnel and liner is more secure and reasonable.

LUO Cheng, XIA Xueqin, ZENG Yunrong, WANG Anhua, GUAN Lingxiao, XU Changjie
Abstract:
Foundation pit dewatering is an important factor causing soil deformation. However, there are few studies on the deformation of adjacent shield tunnels parallel to the foundation pit under dewatering conditions. In order to explore the stress and deformation characteristics of the existing tunnel caused by foundation pit dewatering, a three-dimensional numerical model is established based on the actual project. Taking the maximum vertical displacement of the tunnel as the evaluation index, the orthogonal table is used to screen the optimal combination and the main influencing factors, and then the main influencing factors are analyzed by univariate analysis to study the stress and deformation law of the tunnel. The research shows that through range analysis and variance analysis, it is found that the insertion depth s of the diaphragm wall is the main factor affecting the maximum vertical displacement of the tunnel outside the pit. Therefore, when the new foundation pit project adjacent to the existing tunnel has dewatering demand, this factor can be selected first to control the tunnel deformation. With the increase of the insertion depth of the diaphragm wall, the bending moment and deformation of the tunnel will decrease. After the insertion depth of the diaphragm wall reaches the soil layer with poor water permeability, the deformation of the tunnel will decrease significantly. At this time, the deformation of the tunnel can be effectively controlled, and it is of little significance to control the deformation of the tunnel by increasing the insertion depth. The dewatering causes the adjacent tunnel outside the pit to produce the "horizontal duck egg" settlement deformation towards the pit obliquely downward, and the deformation of the tunnel vault and the side arch waist of the adjacent foundation pit should be focused on during the construction process.

Safety analysis of shield tunnel segment with cavity behind lining considering the influence of the joints
Abstract:
In order to explore the influence mechanism of cavity on shield tunnel, a refined numerical model of shield tunnel considering ring and longitudinal joints was established. The variation law of internal force, deformation and section safety factor of the segment was investigated under various conditions such as depth, area and location of cavity, and the influence of different assembly points of the segment on tunnel with cavity behind was discussed. The results show that the order of the adverse effects of cavities at different positions behind the tunnel on structural safety is: tunnel waist > tunnel bottom > tunnel top. When the cavity area is 5.0 m2, with the increase of the cavity depth, the bending moment and safety factor of the tunnel section at the center of the tunnel top or the tunnel bottom cavity first decrease and then increase in the opposite direction, and the ellipticity of the segment first decreases to 0 and then increases in the opposite direction. The bending moment is reversed when the cavity depth is 0.3 m and 0.2 m respectively. The safety factor of the section at the center of the left tunnel waist cavity decreases continuously, and the ellipticity of the duct piece and the bending moment increase greatly. When the cavity depth is 0.5 m, the bending moment of the tunnel section at the center of the cavity at the top or bottom of the tunnel is reversed when the cavity area is 3.75 m2. The existence of circumferential joints within the cavity will reduce the internal force of the tunnel section at the center of the cavity and improve its safety factor. However, its maximum joint opening is 2.0~3.5 times that of the cavity without joint. The research results can provide reference for the safety evaluation of the cavity behind the lining of the shield tunnel and the selection of the assembly points.

BAI Minggang, ZHOU Gang, LAI Huahui, YANG Yuandong
Abstract:
The rail transit engineering is in the stage of rapid development in China, and BIM (Building Information Modelling) technology has been widely applied in the lifecycle of rail transit engineering. However, the creation method and the information of BIM models from different participants are not unified, which makes it difficult to effectively and uniformly use BIM model data. Considering the diversity of BIM model creation software products for rail transit engineering, the IFC (Industry Foundation Classes)-based BIM component standard library for rail transit engineering was proposed. According to the expression requirements of rail transit engineering components, component types, IFC expression of component information and IFC-based extensibility mechanism were studied in this paper. The technology framework of this BIM component standard library for rail transit engineering contains basic layer, technical layer, application layer and user layer. To meet application requirements of BIM component models, the classification and code method in the national standard was used to define the classification and code of these BIM components; the encryption and decryption method for BIM component model was carried out to ensure the security of BIM model data; the component information template was proposed to define component properties and their resource links. The proposed unified BIM component library enables project participants to use the standardized BIM component models to create the project model of rail transit engineering, ensuring the standardization of BIM models.

Liu Qinsheng, Chen Yalan, Wan Xin, Fu Minxue, Yi Dian
Abstract:
Since train energy consumption has a large impact on the rail energy consumption, constructing a train energy consumption model is the basis for realizing energy saving and emission reduction of China's rail. Based on the single-mass point model and the multiple-mass point model of train operation, this paper constructs an energy consumption simulation model considering the motor dynamic efficiency. Taking the four stations and three intervals of a regional line in China as an example, the results show that the operation energy consumption under either the single-mass point or the multiple-mass point train operation model achieves a deviation of less than 5% compared with the actual energy consumption, which verifies the accuracy of the proposed energy consumption model. In addition, the operation energy consumption of the multi-mass model is further reduced by 1.66% deviation from the single-mass model. The proposed model provides a theoretical support for the optimization of train energy saving and actively contributes to the development strategy of China's green economy.

HUI Changwu, XU Dejie, GONG Liang, ZENG Yuning, ZHONG Miaomiao
Abstract:
Studying the distribution characteristics and cause mechanism of urban rail transit operation accidents is of great significance for ensuring operation safety and formulating safety control measures. This paper statistically analyzes 425 urban rail transit operation accidents at home and abroad from 1970 to 2022, and compares and analyzes the causes and time distribution characteristics of operation accidents. Based on the cause mechanism and the principal component analysis method, the safety evaluation system of urban rail transit operation is constructed, and the combined weight evaluation method based on game theory is proposed. Taking the data of 274 operation accidents in China from 1990 to 2022 as an example, combined with the expert scoring situation, the safety status of urban rail transit operation in China is analyzed from a macro perspective. The results show that the factors causing operational accidents include personnel factors, equipment factors and environmental factors. Among them, 47 % of foreign operational accidents are caused by personnel factors, and 65 % of domestic operational accidents are caused by equipment factors. January, March, July, August and December are the months with frequent accidents, which are the same as the peak months of passenger flow. The combination weighting method not only considers the amount of information in objective statistical data, but also combines the experience accumulation of subjective experts, which makes the evaluation results closer to the actual operation situation and more convincing.

Nonlinear and synergistic effects of station-area built environment on metro ridership: A Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) analysis
Abstract:
The rapid growth in the number of motor vehicles has triggered a series of environmental and social problems. In this context, the metro, as a high-capacity and environmentally friendly public transportation mode, has become a crucial means of addressing the abovementioned issues. Although existing research has extensively validated the impact of station-area built environment on metro ridership, there has been relatively less focus on the nonlinear relationship and synergistic effects between the two. This study takes Chengdu as a case, utilizing multi-source big data, including metro card transactions and Points of Interest (POI), and employing interpretable machine learning methods (integrating random forests and SHAP models) to delve into the nonlinear relationship between the built environment and metro ridership, as well as the synergistic effects among built environment variables. The results of the study indicate that the three most important built-environment determinants of metro ridership are population density, road intersection density, and company density. The SHAP model results further reveal the threshold effects of the built environment around stations on metro ridership and the synergistic mechanisms among built environment variables. These findings provide theoretical support and policy insights for Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) goals in cities emphasizing public transportation.

LI Jinhai, DOU Liang, Zhang Meng, Qin Yizhan, SUN Yin
Abstract:
The initial operation stage is a crucial stage for a new line with passenger services. Accurate forecasting of passenger flow for initial operation is a fundamental work for operational safety assessment and organization preparation. Considering the characteristics and difficulties of passenger flow forecasting in the stage, this paper proposes a set of forecasting techniques and introduces the key contents and main concerns of forecasting work. It is suggested that passenger flow forecasting should focus on the current situation of urban and urban traffic. It is essential to collect and understand the current information of urban traffic and city itself, mine spatial temporal big data, and analyze short-term development trends. On this basis, various traffic surveys are conducted to establish forecasting models to predict the expected passenger flow indicators of newly opened line and analyze its impacts on the existing network. In addition, a prediction sensitivity analysis should be carried out on key influencing factors. Since the accuracy of the passenger flow assignment model directly affects the accuracy of the prediction results, it is also necessary to build a special model for passenger flow analysis based on a macroscopic demand analysis by taking the entire network as the research object. Finally, the prediction results should meet the requirements of operational organization and safety management , and provide comprehensive prediction results, especially for special operational periods, special stations, and non-routine operational scenarios.

Abstract:
Field experiments and simulation analysis were conducted on the Kaifeng suspended mono-rail demonstration line in this study to evaluate the service performance of the rubber-tyred suspended vehicle and the steel guideway bridge, and to provide appropriate criterion and operating and designing parameters for this type of vehicle-bridge systems. A rubber-tyred Suspended Train-Steel and Guideway Bridge Coupling analysis program was developed. The vehicle-bridge coupling model was built according to the measured parameters including the stiffness and damping of the pneumatic spring and the travel wheels. The calculated and measured results of dynamic response of the vehicle and the bridge were compared. Finally, the dynamic performance of the vehicle and the bridge structure was evaluated based on the calculation and related specifications. The results show that: 1) it is feasible to apply the vehicle-bridge coupling simulation method to the investigate the structural vibration performance of suspended mono-rail system, because of the results of simulation being in consistent with those from the field measurement; 2) the ratio of the vertical deflection to the span of the steel guideway girder is less than the limit given by the relevant specifications and the vertical stiffness of the structure is reasonable; 3) the maximum vertical and lateral rotation angles between two adjacent beams at beam-ends are 4.5‰ and 1.5‰ respectively; 4) the maximum dynamic factors of longitudinal and lateral stress of the steel guideway beam are 1.17 and 1.14 respectively under vehicle speed 80 km/h; 5) the unloading factor of the wheel and lateral acceleration of the guideway bridge is relatively larger than those of conventional railway systems, so that the limitations of these two indices could be set larger than the current railway specifications since the suspended trains are unlikely to derail.

Definition and Characteristics of Tourism Rail Transit
Abstract:
Tourism rail transit (TRT) is a developing mode of transportation in China, with some cases of implementation. TRT encompasses both tourism and rail transit aspects. This paper examines the definition of TRT and underscores its advantages over road traffic. As a distinct application of rail transit, TRT has characteristics that differ from general urban rail transit. Thus, the direct adaptability of urban rail transit experience to TRT is not recommended. From the perspectives of planning, design, operation, and economy, this paper summarizes the main features of TRT, including relatively small scale, low sensitivity to speed, favorable economic benefits, and high landscape requirements. Based on these characteristics, a suitable system of mid- to low-volume rail transit is proposed, along with some development suggestions.

lixiaofeng, 王荔, 栾承志, 于秋燕
Abstract:
Under the major strategic deployment of dual-carbon strategy, to study the whole life cycle carbon emission of rail transit and to reasonably quantify its carbon emission level is an important issue to achieve peak carbon and carbon neutrality in the transportation sector. Based on a new metro line in Beijing, this paper analyzes the whole life cycle carbon emission of rail transit, establishes a carbon emission calculation model for the whole line and the whole life cycle of rail transit, and quantitatively calculates the carbon emission of the whole line and the whole life cycle of the new metro line. At the same time, the carbon reduction measures in the construction phase and operation phase are analyzed and their carbon reduction potential is quantitatively assessed. The carbon emission calculation for the 81km long new metro line yields a carbon emission of 2.57 million tons of CO2eq in the construction phase, 54,000 tons of CO2eq per year in the operation phase, and a total carbon emission of 5.24 million tons of CO2eq in the 50-year operation cycle. The use of renewable materials and prefabricated structures in the construction phase can reduce carbon emissions by 7%; the use of comprehensive carbon-reducing measures in the operation phase can reduce carbon by 27%; and the carbon reduction potential of the 50-year operation cycle totals 17%. The model bridges the gap in the field of carbon emission calculation for the whole line and whole life cycle of rail transit, and is of guidance to the quantitative calculation of carbon emission for the whole life cycle of urban rail transit. The research results of carbon reduction measures can provide references for urban rail transit to achieve green and low-carbon transformation, and to achieve carbon peaking and carbon neutrality in the transportation sector.

Study on the impact of shallow buried rectangular jacking pipe construction on adjacent pipelines and ground surface
Abstract:
The ground surface deformation characteristics caused by rectangular pipe jacking construction differ from those of circular pipe jacking or shield tunnels. In order to clarify the ground settlement characteristics during the construction of the shallow buried rectangular pipe jacking and the impact on the existing shield tunnel below the pipe jacking. Based on the monitoring results of the rectangular pipe jacking construction on site, the deformation pattern of the ground surface during the construction of the rectangular pipe jacking and the deformation of the existing shield tunnel below the pipe jacking were analyzed. The traditional Peck"s formula is applied to circular pipe jacking or circular shield tunnels, so the improved Peck"s formula is used to describe the surface deformation caused by rectangular pipe jacking; the surface deformation, pipeline deformation and settlement pattern of the submerged tunnel caused by the pipe jacking construction are analyzed based on the field monitoring. The study shows that the improved Peck formula can accurately describe the surface deformation caused by rectangular pipe jacking construction compared to the traditional Peck formula; the settlement pattern of the surface and the pipeline above caused by pipe jacking construction is consistent, but there are differences with the settlement pattern of the underlying tunnel.

The field test was performed to study the developing trend of groundwater level, excess pore water pressure, soil pressure and deep horizontal displacement caused by horizontal MJS pile construction. The results show thatthe maximum excess pore water pressure increases by 46.1 kPa during horizontal MJS shotcreting during pile testing. The water level will rise by 3.6 m at most during shotcreting, and will drop by 1.5 m at most after shotcreting. The variation trend of earth pressure is consistent with that of pore pressure, and the maximum increment of earth pressure during shotcreting is 40.6 kPa. Due to the insufficient self-supporting capacity of the soil mass during the hole drilling in the silty sand layer, the hole is easy to collapse. During this process, the inclinometer during the hole drilling has a maximum inclination of 1.2 mm, and the inclinometer during shotcreting has a maximum inclination of 2.2 mm. The maximum displacement of the station floor during the horizontal MJS construction in a subway station in Suzhou is 0.8mm, which meets the specification requirements. During the construction of MJS piles within silty sand layer, 3% bentonite can be added to the cement slurry to avoid hole collapse and drilling holding problems.

Research on Wear Measurement of Rigid Catenary Based on a Filter Tracking Algorithm
yuqiubo, hanchaojian, lujun, niguozheng
Abstract:
Currently, the overhead rigid catenary system power supply method is commonly used to provide electrical power for the subway in urban rail transit. The wear state of the rigid catenary system is an important indicator related to the matching relationship between the pantograph and the rigid catenary system. If the wear exceeds the limit, it will lead to serious faults of the pantograph and the rigid catenary system. This study focuses on the rigid catenary system of the subway, and this method uses a line laser and a high-speed area array camera to capture the contour of the light strip in real-time. Based on the improved channel reliability, a multi-scale background perception correlation filtering tracking algorithm is used to fit and calculate the wear value, effectively handling complex factors such as lighting, scale, and occlusion, achieving high tracking accuracy and success rate, with an accuracy of up to 94%. This method replaces manual measurement with dynamic continuous wear measurement to achieve continuous, comprehensive, and efficient detection of the rigid catenary wear status. It can greatly improve the efficiency and accuracy of the wear measurement, achieve comprehensive control of the rigid catenary system, and provide guidance for preventive maintenance of the catenary. The continuous measurement of contact wire wear is achieved, and the measurement efficiency is significantly improved. On the basis of the original monitoring of catenary wear data, tracking monitoring of the growth rate of catenary wear has been added. When the growth rate of catenary wear is too fast, manual inspection frequency will be increased to ensure the safe operation of catenary equipment.

Research on the Differential Countermeasures on the Long-Collinear Excavation Induced Underlying Deformation and Corresponding Effectiveness
Abstract:
Overlying excavation easily causes stress relief of the soil above the underlying tunnel, which easily induces tunnel heave and affects the serviceability of the tunnel. Based on the reconstruction project of the Guimiao Road in Shenzhen, this paper proposes differential countermeasures for the underlying tunnel heave subjected to the overlying excavation in different sections and verifies the effectiveness of the measures through field measurements. The results show that the closer to the excavation center, the larger the heave of the underlying tunnel and the unloading rate of the soil. Excavation-induced soil stress relief does not affect the tunnel deformation when the excavation area is more than 30 m away from the tunnel. For different excavation areas, (1) Longitudinal Segmentation + Vertical stratification + Separate excavation for left and right side; (2) Longitudinal Segmentation + Vertical stratification + Separate excavation for left and right side + Reinforcement of high-pressure jetting piles; and (3) Spaced shaft excavation + anti-heave frame were adopted, the measured data show that the effectiveness of these measures is generally satisfactory. It can provide important references for similar projects.

Discrete element simulation of rock breaking characteristics of one-way non-through jointed rock mass by hob
Abstract:
Compared with the penetrating joint, the existence of rock bridge makes the failure process of non-penetrating jointed rock mass more complicated. In order to explore its influence on rock breaking, the discrete element model of rock breaking by disc cutter in unidirectional non-penetrating jointed rock mass is established by using PFC2D. The influence of rock bridge length and dip angle on rock breaking mode, normal force, crack number and specific energy consumption is studied, and the rock breaking characteristics of disc cutter in non-penetrating jointed rock mass are revealed. The results show that the rock mass is dominated by tensile failure, and the joint has obvious "guiding effect" on crack growth, and the crack growth direction always tends to the nearest joint. The vertical stress level increases first and then decreases with the increase of joint dip Angle, and reaches the maximum value at 45° dip Angle. The shape of the stress zone is affected by the joint position, and the two are consistent. The mean value and peak value of normal force of intact rock mass are greater than jointed rock mass, and jointed rock has obvious promoting effect on rock breaking process. The specific energy consumption at 0°, 60° and 90° joint dip Angle is significantly lower than that of other joint combinations. The energy consumption decreases at 60° joint dip Angle, and the minimum value is obtained when the length of rock bridge is 25mm, at 0° and 90°, it decreases first and then increases, and the minimum value is obtained when the length of the rock bridge is 15mm.

Zhao Xiaohao, ZHANG Gang, SONG Jiatong
Abstract:
In order to address the issues of network voltage fluctuations and energy waste caused by frequent traction and braking of urban trains, this paper proposes a charging and discharging control strategy based on the DC side voltage of the traction network for the flywheel energy storage system applied in urban rail transit. The average speed control method is used to adjust the speed difference of the flywheel array due to different processes and environments. On the basis of the existing control strategy, an empty load network voltage identification algorithm is proposed to avoid flywheel misoperation caused by voltage fluctuations in the medium voltage ring network. On this basis, this article models and simulates the traction power supply system with flywheel energy storage system, and connects the flywheel energy storage device to the traction substation for on-site experiments. The flywheel energy storage system effectively suppresses the fluctuation of traction network voltage, reduces the peak output power of the traction power supply station, verifies the feasibility of the control strategy and the energy-saving effect of the flywheel energy storage system, providing reference and reference for the further application of the flywheel energy storage system in the field of urban rail transit.

The node-place model proposed by Bertolini can effectively measure the coordination between transportation and land use in the area of public transport stations, and correspondingly providing an analytical framework for the integrated development of TOD. This paper first introduces the basic concept of TOD and the integrated models of urban rail and land use from the perspective of built environment. And then we state the classical form of node-place models and its improved models, summary the built environment indicators and pedestrian catchment area parameters of node-place models. Finally, we conclude the classical application scenarios of node-place models, and puts forward its limitations and development direction. Systematically reviewing the node-place models for integration of urban rail and land use can help to better evaluate the integration of transportation and land use and promote the coordinated development of urban rail stations.

Predicament and Expectation of Low Volume Urban Rail Transit Construction
XIANG Hong, LIAO Xiangchenchen
Abstract:
After nearly 30 years of rapid development of urban rail transit in China, 55 cities in mainland China (excluding Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) have built about 10288 kilometers of urban rail transit, effectively solving the problem of public transport congestion in most large and medium-sized cities. At the same time, the high operating cost of rail transit and the pressure on the urban economy are becoming increasingly prominent. Recently, the relevant policies issued by the state show that during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, the first round of urban rail transit construction planning applications for unqualified cities and general prefecture-level cities will no longer be accepted, and the construction of urban rail transit is tightening. Therefore, how to make the cities in need reasonably choose the construction of low-volume rail system, consolidate and strengthen the problem of low-volume rail connection at the end of urban rail network, and let the small and medium-sized cities with economic capacity adjust measures to local conditions, reasonably select types, and use low-volume rail transit to solve urban public transport problems has become a hot topic in the industry. From the perspective of planning and design of rail transit for a long time, the author analyzes the classification of low-volume rail transit and the content of programmatic documents such as construction guidelines.Combining with his own experience in planning and design of low-volume rail transit projects, the author combs the difficulties faced by the development status of low-volume railway system, and puts forward five suggestions to deal with the difficulties of construction of low volume rail transit. The purpose is to promote the healthy development of urban rail transit.

On the Spatial Noise Distribution of Double-deck Rail-cum-road Viaduct with Different Road Bridge Types
Abstract:
The independent rail transit viaduct has advantages of low construction and operation costs, but it produces significant environmental noise pollution to the nearby residents. However, the upper road bridge of the double-deck rail-cum-road viaduct can act as a barrier to reduce the upper zone noise originating from the rail transit traffic. In order to analyze the spatial noise distribution of double-deck rail-cum-road viaduct with different road bridge types, a two-dimensional acoustic model is established to predict the track noise propagation characteristics based on the measured rail vibration acceleration. Firstly, the accuracy of the proposed method is verified by the field noise measurement results. Secondly, the noise propagation and distribution characteristics are compared among those from the independent rail transit double U-beam viaduct, the double-deck rail-cum-road viaduct constructed with the small box-girders as well as the hollow slab beams. Finally, the noise mitigation mechanism of the double-deck viaduct is explained. The results show that the upper road bridge changes the transmission path of noise, which can reduce the noise in some areas (above the road bridge side) while increasing the noise under the bridge. Meanwhile, the noise under the road bridge significantly is increased due to the reflection of sound by the road bridge. Additionally, in the area above the road, the small box girders significantly reduce the noise level compared with the hollow slab girders, with a decrease generally between 6~11dB(A), and the maximum decrease is about 21dB(A). The small box beam with uneven bottom can better limit the acoustic energy within the zone below the road bridge, and achieve a greater noise reduction effect in the area above the road. The proposed noise prediction method can provide a reference for the noise prediction from the rail track of the double-deck rail-cum-road viaduct, and the calculation results can provide an acoustic performance basis for the selection of the road bridge type for the double-deck viaduct.

Abstract:
The foundation pits on the third and fourth floors of Xinghuo Station on Beijing Metro Line R4 have characteristics such as complex plane shapes, different excavation depths at all levels, and asymmetric additional loads around the foundation pits. To address the issue of conventional foundation pit support schemes not being suitable for this foundation pit, a double-ring reinforced concrete internal support system with unequal diameters was developed and successfully implemented. This paper discusses in detail the layout, structure parameters and construction steps of the double-ring supporting system. A three-dimensional numerical calculation model is established to simulate the process of foundation pit excavation and supporting system construction, and combined with the measured results of deformation and stress of the double-ring supporting system, the stress and deformation characteristics of the double ring supporting system are discussed. The results show that the indicators of the double-ring supporting system, such as the deformation of the retaining wall, the axial force of concrete support and concrete ring beam, and the convergence of the concrete ring beam, all meet the requirements of the control value. The engineering practice shows that the reinforced concrete double-ring supporting system has the advantages of flexible layout, good adaptability to irregular spatial shapes of foundation pits, and spacious working space inside the foundation pit.

Study of the topology of power grid on the characteristics of stray current distribution in metro
Abstract:
The stray current intruding into the transformer is affected by the train operating conditions, rail-to-ground transition resistance, soil structure and grid topology, etc. Exploring the factors affecting the stray current is one of the important means to prevent and control the DC bias of power transformers around the metro. To study the influence of the grid topology on the stray currents intruding into the transformer, a dynamic coupling finite element model of the metro line and the grid circuit is constructed. Based on this model, the variation of stray currents in the intrusion transformer is analyzed for different relative positions of the single circuit of the grid and the metro line, under three typical topologies of the power grid structure. The results show that among the three structures, the radial structure is the most affected by stray currents, and the total amount of stray currents intruding into the grid increases with the increase of the number of grid loops. In addition, regardless of whether the two transformers forming the grid loop are on the same side of the metro line or on the opposite side, the stray current intruding into the loop increases as the angle between the metro line and the grid loop decreases.

Li Ying,Zhang Bawu
Abstract:
In the existing line reconstruction project of vehicle expansion and platform extension, it is inevitable that small radius curves will enter the platform due to the limitation of surrounding engineering conditions. Under the design concept of conventional curve superelevation, the intrusion of small radius curves into platforms will result in speed limits. The design concept of drawing inspiration from highway curve superelevation is proposed. The curve superelevation is set in local sections of the transition curve, and the full superelevation section is set at gentle points or circular points. By segmenting the transition curve along the slope, the speed limit problem caused by excessive entry of small radius curves into platforms is solved.

LYV Peiyin, WANG Yali, MA Xiao, LIU Faming, SHAO Feihao
Abstract:
An extensive case base of over 2000 accident cases and corresponding economic loss data have been collected from the last 20 years of domestic subway construction. This has resulted in the establishment of the largest database for subway construction accidents to date that is continuously updated. Based on this database, a quantitative risk level standard, accident statistical analysis, prediction and risk estimation calculation model have been developed. Project area, construction method, and operation type are some of the conditions used in estimating the probability of accidents, the resulting economic loss, and risk level. This solution also effectively determines the quantitative safety risk assessment of subway projects and loss rates within the engineering insurance industry. A query-based quantitative safety risk assessment system has been developed using engineering accident cases that can perform statistical analysis, deduction, and prediction of a specific accident type by region, city, line, construction method, and accident type. The system has been successfully applied in engineering safety risk assessment and insurance projects in over 20 cities currently under construction.

Abstract:
In order to meet the demand for meticulous passenger transportation organization in urban rail transit stations, it is necessary to classify and manage stations based on the characteristics of entrancing and exiting passenger flows. Based on the entrancing and exiting passenger flows data collected by AFC, this paper proposes a two-layer planning clustering method based on the K-means algorithm to cluster and classify all stations on the entire line from the two aspects of the total amount of passenger flow and the temporal characteristics of entrancing and exiting passenger flows. Firstly, the upper-layer clustering is carried out based on the total amount of passenger flows of entrancing and exiting as the characteristic indicator, and different types of stations with different passenger transport scales are obtained. Then, considering the temporal characteristics of entrancing and exiting passenger flows, the feature vector is constructed according to the characteristics of passenger flow changes in different periods for lower-layer clustering to identify the temporal distribution characteristics of passenger flow in the station. The classification results are highly consistent with the actual situation, and there are significant differences in passenger transport scale and temporal characteristics among stations of different categories. It can be seen that the proposed two-layer K-means clustering analysis algorithm can well grasp the passenger transport scale and temporal characteristics of passenger flow providing a basis for the passenger transportation organization of stations.

ning xiao yan, Xiao Song, Guo yu jun
Abstract:
With the rapid development of urban rail transit, the DC magnetic bias of surrounding power transformers becomes more and more serious. The magnetic bias current invading the transformer mainly includes stray current and induced current. This paper first explores the electromagnetic coupling mechanism between the power grid circuit and the metro traction power supply system, and uses CDEGS and PSCAD software to build the electrical coupling and magnetic coupling simulation models respectively, so as to analyze the time and frequency domain characteristics of stray current and induced current invading the power grid circuit. It is found that the coupling current is low-frequency time-varying current, the current frequency domain is concentrated in the 0-0.05Hz frequency band, and the pure DC component in the stray current accounts for more than the induced current. In addition, the influence of the number of trains running on a single line, train operating conditions and other factors on the distribution of magnetic bias current in the circuit is also explored.

Research on grade evaluation and regional station division method of urban rail transit
Abstract:
The concept of urban rail transit station grade is mostly used in the planning of urban rail transit network. It usually takes the prediction of peak hour passenger flow and daily passenger decline as the main evaluation indicators. That is more inclined to the consideration of project cost and project volume. It is rarely used in the operation and management of urban rail transit station. However, the rating work of urban rail transit station is the basis for the fine and standardized management of urban rail transit operating units, as well as an important reference for resource allocation of urban rail transit operating units. The author builds a station grade evaluation system,including passenger volume index, railway traffic index and service index, objectively reflects the operation volume of each station。This system makes station grade evaluation systematic, scientific, quantifiable and operable. It makes up for the deficiency of qualitative analysis in many evaluation works. In this paper, the research results are applied to the stations of Chongqing Rail Transit Line 1 and Circle Line, all the stations are graded and the quantitative calculation results are applied to the division of regional stations. The actual calculation proves that the research results are in line with the operation status of Chongqing rail transit. It has the characteristics of reducing the management structure and balancing the workload of each regional station. The results of this study have a strong guiding significance for the operation and management of urban rail transit operation stations. It also can provide decision support for subsequent resource allocation, personnel allocation, emergency treatment, performance evaluation and other work of management.

Research on the Impact of Disassembly and Reconstruction of Guangzhou Metro Line 3 on the Passenger Flow
Abstract:
In order to study the future evolution trend and pressure relief method of passenger flow of Guangzhou Metro Line 3, this paper first analyzes the current passenger flow characteristics of Line 3, and discusses the possibility of optimizing its Y-shaped traffic plan from the perspective of transportation organization. Then, based on the proposed disassembly ideas for Line 3 and Line 10 in the line network planning, this paper analyzes the impact of whether to disassemble Line 3 on passenger flow under different rail network supply conditions in the future by using Guangzhou Urban Transit Model. The results show that: (1) At present, the passenger flow pressure of Line 3 has little room for optimization at the level of transportation organization. In non-disassembly situation, Line 3 will still face greater passenger flow pressure in the next few years. The maximum section full load rate of the north extension line of Line 3 will reach more than 140 %, and the maximum transfer volume of Tiyu Xilu Station will exceed 600,000 passengers / day. However, with the recent opening of parallel lines, the passenger flow pressure will gradually ease; (2) If Line 3 will be disassembled, the transport capacity of the northern section of Line 3 will be improved, the passenger flow pressure of the peak section will be quickly alleviated, and the maximum transfer volume of Tiyu Xilu Station will also be lower than the maximum before the COVID-19 epidemic, but there will be some negative effects during the disassembly period. Therefore, the impact of passenger flow before and after disassembly and the social impact during disassembly should be comprehensively considered to determine whether Line 3 will be disassembled and reconstructed in the future.

Abstract:
Complex hydrogeological conditions of sandy and cobble strata are a major obstacle to efficient shield tunneling. The common engineering problems of shield tunneling in sand-pebble stratum were summarized, and four formation characteristic factors that restrict the efficient tunneling of shield tunneling were put forward, which are particle size, fine particle content, water pressure and abrasion performance, and the characteristic index, index determination method and index quantization interval of each factor were given, according to which the sand-pebble stratum can be classified. The classification results include: transportable and non-transportable sand cobble stratum by particle size, high viscosity low permeability and low viscosity high permeability sand cobble stratum by the proportion of fine lens, high pressure and low pressure sand cobble stratum by high pressure and low pressure water pressure sand cobble stratum, strong and weak abrasion sand cobble stratum by equivalent quartz content. Based on different strata categories, a reasonable shield scheme was matched. Finally, the applicability of the classification method was verified by the shield example of sand and pebble strata under the combination index. The design and construction of sand-pebble formation shield can be guided by the classification method of sand-pebble formation.

Research on Time-frequency Characteristics and Corrosion Behavior of Dynamic Stray Current
Abstract:
In DC traction power supply system of urban rail transit, partial return current from running rails may leak to earth and form stray current, which can easily cause electrochemical corrosion of buried metals. Stray current would appear as nonstationary signal due to the frequent start and stop of multiple trains in actual system, while its time-frequency characteristic is conducive to the study of its corrosion behavior. Based on the mathematical model of traction power system, time-frequency analysis of stray current signal has been conducted through S-transform. Furthermore, corrosion behavior of stray current at typical frequencies have been studied based on weight-loss test and electrochemical test. The experimental results show that both DC and low-frequency AC components of dynamic stray current will affect the electrochemical corrosion process of metals, and the corrosion rate rises with the increase of current density and the decrease of AC current frequency.

HUO Xiaosen, SHU Xinyu, JIAO Liudan
Abstract:
To promote the disaster resilience level of urban rail transit system in China, this study analyzes the characteristics of public health emergencies and explores the disaster resilience of urban rail transit system based on the context of public health emergencies. The evaluation system of disaster resilience of urban rail transit system is constructed from three aspects: emergency handling capability, passenger management capability, and public management capability. The subjective and objective weights of indicators are calculated by AHP and entropy weighting method, separately, and the combinatorial optimization is combined with the linear weighting method to obtain the final indicator weights. On this basis, the comprehensive evaluation model of extensive cloud resilience level is established to calculate the level of disaster resilience of the rail transit system in the face of public health emergencies. Taking Chongqing urban rail transit system as a model application, the feasibility and applicability of this model in the evaluation of disaster resilience of urban rail transit system are verified. The results show that the overall level of disaster resilience of Chongqing urban rail transit system under the impact of public health emergencies is good, but the resilience level of secondary indicators is medium including the control degree of epidemic public opinion management, the knowledge reserve degree of passenger epidemic prevention, and the reasonable degree of revenue and expenditure management, and the disaster resilience and recovery ability is weak. Analyzing the reasons for the low resilience level and taking a series of measures can effectively improve the resilience level of urban rail transit system under public health emergencies.

Spatiotemporal characteristics of coordinated development of urban rail transit stations and built environment
Abstract:
It is significant to realize the coordinated development of urban rail transit and built environment since it can help to alleviate traffic congestion and optimize urban land use structure. Taking urban rail transit stations in the main area of Xi’an as a case, this paper evaluated the coordinated development status of urban rail transit stations and the surrounding built environment between 2018 and 2019 by establishing the node-place model. This paper visualized and analyzed the spatial and temporal variation characteristics of the coordinated level of the stations. The results show that the coordinated level between urban rail transit stations and the surrounding built environment is gradually decreasing from the central ancient city area to the surrounding regions in space, and presents a two-level differentiation trend in time. In most station areas, the traffic and the built environment are in a state of coordinated development. According to the change of their synergistic relationship, the stations are classified into three types: dynamically balanced stations, “low node-high node” dynamically balanced stations and “dynamically balanced-node imbalanced” stations. The improvement of station accessibility will significantly increase the node value and the place value, and the growth in node value is greater than that of the place value. The results of this paper can provide decision-making references for optimizing the station planning in Xi’an and promoting the coordinated development of urban rail transit and built environment.

Cross-line Train Service Planning Optimization in Urban Rail Transit Network
Abstract:
Under the background of the expansion of urban rail transit scale and growth of passenger flow demand, aiming at the problems of many passenger transfer times and low resource sharing caused by the existing single-line operation mode, the optimization of cross-line operation scheme is studied to make up for the above shortcomings. In this paper, the alternative set of cross-line routing is generated according to the basic conditions on cross-line operation from the perspective of facilities, the number of cross-line and the demand of cross-line passenger flow. The departure frequencies of cross-line routing and local routing are taken as the decision variable. Considering the constraints of line capacity, train full load rate and total number of train routing, the passenger flow distribution of OD passenger group is carried out on the principle of minimum transfer times and shortest travel time. The optimization model at the network level on cross-line train operation plan is established to minimize the sum of train operation cost and passenger travel cost. Simulated annealing algorithm is applied to solve the model. Case studies on Nanning subway network show that the cross-line operation mode can reduce the total cost by 6.18 %, the passenger time cost by 7.33 % and the passenger transfers times by 13.79 % in comparison with the single-line operation mode. The results achieved cost savings, improved network service quality and passenger travel efficiency.

Abstract:
Suburban railway is an important support for long-distance travel in the metropolitan area, and the spatial development status of station area is related to the efficiency of rail operation and the improvement of spatial efficiency of the metropolitan area. Based on the analysis of the passenger flow activities and the spatial-temporal changes of land use in the Chengzhou-irrigated high-speed rail from 2010 to 2021, it is found that: Suburban hub stations have the fastest passenger flow growth and land renewal change, while endpoint stations have large passenger flow but slower spatial development. In general stations, the suburban stations within 10-25km from the urban center have a relatively fast growth in land use, but the stations with a large proportion of logistics and industrial land have a less obvious spatial change. The spatial evolution direction of the station area has inward-oriented, Isolated development, Single-sided padding, and multi-directional group development models.

Study on structure configuration and mechanical properties of assembled integral segments of shield tunnel
Abstract:
The traditional segments of shield tunnel consist of segment pieces and bolts, the large number of segment joints can reduce the overall stiffness and deformation resistance of the segment structure. Moreover, the long-term operation also caused problems such as rusting of bolts and water leakage, which seriously affected the safety of the tunnel structure. An assembled integral segment was presented in this paper, the new segment structure included T-shaped segment pieces and post-cast concrete. The T-shaped segments were erected during shield TBM tunnelling, and the erection method was the same as the traditional segments. The post-cast concretes were constructed after the tunnel breakthrough. Based on ABAQUS software, the mechanical properties of the new segment structure and the traditional segment structure were compared using the load-structure method. The results showed that the new segment structure can meet the tunnel structure design requirements during the construction stage. During the tunnel operation stage, the T-shaped segments and post-cast concrete worked together to bear the tunnel load. The post-cast concrete provided effective protection to the T-shaped segments due to its higher stiffness. The assembled integral segments structure can effectively enhance the integrity, stiffness and deformation resistance of the tunnel structure, and the mechanical properties are better than the traditional segments. In addition, the new segment structure also has a protective effect on the segment joints and bolts, offering a new technical proposal for urban rail transit construction.

Application analysis of wall evaporative condensation direct expansion refrigeration system in Hefei Metro
Abstract:
The cold source needed for air conditioning and refrigeration in subway stations is generally obtained by the traditional form of "water chiller+cooling tower". The cooling tower itself is bulky, occupies a large area, has serious noise pollution, and it is difficult to coordinate land acquisition and demolition, which is not conducive to the planning and construction of the subway and the development of the city. Air-wall evaporative condensation direct expansion refrigeration system does not need to install cooling tower equipment on the ground, and has the advantages of energy saving and noise reduction, low demolition difficulty and low construction investment cost. However, the new system has some defects, such as high initial investment cost, limited application scope and high operation and maintenance cost, so it cannot be applied in a large area. Taking Sanxiaokou Station of Hefei Metro as an example, this paper introduces the working principle, installation mode, operation energy efficiency evaluation, advantages and disadvantages of the new system, and analyzes the construction cost, energy saving and noise reduction, feasibility and so on. The new system has obvious advantages in social and economic benefits, energy saving and noise reduction, demolition coordination, construction cost, land resource utilization and so on, and has broad application prospects.

Research on anti-skid performance of wet-slip straddle monorail pavement based on tire-road coupling
ZHAO Yang, LEI Zhenguo, CHEN Baikun
Abstract:
In order to study the driving safety of straddle-type monorail vehicles under different working conditions, the operation status of straddle-type monorail vehicles in rainy, snowy and wet environments was studied. Based on CEL and finite element method, a coupled tire-road simulation model was constructed. On this basis, the changes of parameters such as wheel-rail vertical force and wheel-rail stress under different water depths and different driving speeds were studied. The relationship between water film thickness and wheel-rail vertical force and tire stress was explored. The research results show that the influence of anti-skid performance of pavement on the numerical change of tire contact parameters of monorail vehicles is the main inducement for driving safety. The vertical contact force of the vehicle tires decreases rapidly with the increase of the thickness of the accumulated water; when the road is covered with water, the tire stress will decrease with the increase of the depth of the accumulated water, thereby causing the wheel to drift and the occurrence of instant slippage. The research can provide a theoretical basis for the development of safety measures for straddle monorail.

LI yan chun, MAI qin xin, Liu si yang, LI Mengting
Abstract:
In order to ensure the safety and stability of the main body of the prefabricated station during the construction of the accessory structure and to understand the mechanical law of the main body of the prefabricated station during the construction of the accessory structure, the internal forces and deformation of the main body of the prefabricated station during the construction of the accessory station were analyzed by finite element numerical calculations with the Shenzhen metro prefabricated station Line 13 City Hospital Station as the engineering background. The calculations show that: 1) the excavation of the subsidiary pit leads to the bias load effect of the main body of the station, and the overall structure has a tendency to deform to the side of the subsidiary excavation, and the internal force of the structure is redistributed, and the internal force and deformation of the vault is significant near the side of the subsidiary pit excavation.2) The internal force and deformation of the main body of the assembled station can be controlled by temporary support measures above the main body roof, measures of the main body vault buttress connection, and measures to strengthen the rigidity of the subsidiary support during the construction of the subsidiary, among which, the temporary support measures above the main body roof are effective. Combined with the calculation and analysis results of the design measures, the design application of the above control measures is studied in the context of the implementation of this project, so as to provide reference for the design of prefabricated subway stations.

Analysis of the effects of geological parameters and different buried depths on the structural mechanical properties of single-arch large-span prefabricated stations
LIU renpu, MENG dong, ZHENG shuyue, WU chenggang
Abstract:
With the construction of prefabricated stations in coastal cities, the influence of weak soil on the mechanical properties of station structures has become one of the most concerned issues. Therefore, this paper takes an prefabricated station in Shenzhen as the engineering background, uses Midas-GTS finite element analysis software, establishes the strata-structure model, analyzes the mechanical characteristics of the Single-arch large span prefabricated station, explores the effects of different elastic modulus, different Poisson's ratio, different geological conditions and different buried depths of the station on force and joint internal force of the underground station, and gives a theoretical basis and structural design guidance for the structural adaptation of the prefabricated station to the stratum. The results show that: 1)When the Poisson 's ratio is constant, the elastic modulus has a great influence on the mechanical properties of the station structure. When the elastic modulus increases from 15 MPa to 60 MPa, the bending moment decreases by 44.58 %, and the influence is nonlinear. When the elastic modulus is 15MPa-30MPa, the structural deformation is more sensitive. When the elastic modulus reaches more than 45MPa, the sensitivity of structural deformation decreases. 2) strata have a greater influence on the internal force of the top plate span middle and bearing, and the strongly weathered geological reduces the bending moment by about 40% compared with the fill layer, while it has a smaller influence on the internal force of the sidewall and a greater influence on the BC joint. 3) when the underground station is located in the fill layer, the internal force of the BC joint is smaller. When the soil layer is fill layer, the redundancy of BC joint moments is very small, and it is necessary to strengthen the design of joints or to improve the geological appropriately. 4) Under the hard plastic geological condition , when the station burial depth increased from 3 m to 5 m. the BC joint moment redundancy decreased by 35.37%. however,the joint redundancy all reached more than 29%, and the safety reserve of the joints was larger and the joints were reliable.

Study on Seismic Response of Prefabricated Station Based on Beam-composite Spring Model
Abstract:
Based on the existing research results of prefabricated station structure, a simplified dynamic analysis model of beam-composite spring suitable for prefabricated subway station structure is established and the validity of the model is verified through comparing the analysis results with 3D solid model. The comparative analysis of the transverse seismic response of prefabricated subway station structure and the same type cast-in-place structure is carried out by using the model. The results show that: Under the horizontal earthquake action, there is little difference in deformation between prefabricated station structure and the same type cast-in-place structure. The fluctuation trend of the internal force of the section of the prefabricated station structure is the same as that of the cast-in-place structure and both reach the peak at the same time. The bending moment and the fluctuation amplitude of the typical section of the prefabricated subway station structure are smaller than that of the same type cast-in-place structure. The grouted mortise joints reduce the amplitude of the bending moment and amplitude of moment fluctuation of the structure section, weaken the bending moment response of the structure under the earthquake action. The research can provide technical support for seismic calculation of prefabricated subway station structures and reference for the application of prefabricated assembly technology to underground structure construction.

Analysis of Longitudinal Force on Prefabricated Station Structure Based on Shell - Spring Model
WU Chenggang, HUANG Meiqun, ZHENG Shuyue
Abstract:
With the wide spread and application of prefabricated station, it is also facing more and more complex geological conditions. The problem of longitudinal force of prefabricated station structure is more prominent in the soft-hard uneven stratum. In this paper, a prefabricated station of Shenzhen metro was taken as the engineering background, and the shell-spring model was constructed by finite element numerical simulation method to investigate the longitudinal settlement and stress characteristics of the prefabricated station structure under the complex conditions of soft-hard uneven stratum. The results show that the longitudinal force of the structure in uniform stratum is mainly affected by the middle column, while its influence is slight. It is more obvious that the longitudinal uneven settlement of the prefabricated station structure in the soft-hard uneven stratum. Furthermore, the shear stiffness between structural rings has a great influence on the longitudinal uneven settlement of the station. The soft-hard uneven stratum not only affect the longitudinal force of the station structure, but also have a certain influence on the transverse force of the station structure. The bending moment of arch crown and shoulder at roof plate increases by about 10%, while the axial force of arch crown decreases by about 8%. The influence of these factors should be considered in the design. In the stratum of sudden change of the rock surface, the shear force of the bottom plate structure has a sudden change at the sudden change position, which is unfavorable to the stress of the ring seam of the structure, while the shear force change is relatively uniform in gradual stratum. At the same time, the longitudinal deformation of the structure exists in the soft-hard uneven stratum, which increases the opening amount of the ring seam. Therefore, the influence of this factor should be considered in the control of the width of the ring seam. In a conclusion, for soft-hard uneven stratum with large difference, certain reinforcement measures should be taken to improve the bearing capacity of the soft soil layer and reduce the longitudinal uneven settlement of the structure.

Construction Cost Analysis of Prefabricated Subway Station
Abstract:
Abstract: With the popularization and application of prefabricated subway station, its construction cost has become one of the key issues. Based on a domestic subway station project, an analysis model of the construction cost of the prefabricated station is established. The construction cost of the full cast-in-place rectangular section scheme, the partial prefabrication scheme with the rectangular section (prefabrication rate: 43%), the full prefabrication scheme with the rectangular section (prefabrication rate: 64%) and the full prefabrication scheme with the arch section (prefabrication rate: 60%) are analyzed. The cost difference of different construction schemes is compared. Besides, the cost control measures of the prefabricated station are proposed. Compared with the full cast-in-place scheme of rectangular section scheme, the estimated cost increase of different prefabricated station schemes is about 11% ~ 18%. The overall cost increase of the station is not large, and there is still room for optimization. The research results can promote the construction cost control of prefabricated metro stations and provide reference for the construction of related projects.

Research on the design scheme of medium plate beam column in prefabricated metro station
Abstract:
Based on the engineering background of the design and application of prefabricated station of the revising of Shenzhen rail transit in phase Ⅳ, this study investigates the design scheme of prefabricated medium plate, beam and column of prefabricated metro station on the basis of the prefabricated station scheme of open-cut inner support system. This paper focuses on the flow assembly step sequence of station with prefabricated and composite medium plate, and the stress and deformation of the enclosure and the medium plate in the flow assembly step sequence have been analyzed and calculated. Through the analysis of the stress of the medium plate in the construction stage and the application stage, the prefabricated components and composite components were designed. In addition, the steel support was set in the middle plate to meet the requirements of station assembly and foundation pit stress conversion, which solved the design difficulty of opening large holes in the medium plate. After the station assembly is completed, the cast-in-situ longitudinally transverse beams and laminated layers are cast at the hole edge to form the hole edge reinforcement structure. Finally, the steel support in the hole is removed and a permanent opening is formed. At the same time, the shear connections were set at the opening position of the medium plate, so that the prefabricated plate, the composite layer and the longitudinally transverse beams form an integral structure and bear the horizontal force in the medium plate plane together. It is used the inner arch effect of the integral structure to avoid the stress concentration in the longitudinally transverse plane of the hole. Through the above research on the prefabricated medium plate, the full section assembly of the metro station is realized, and further promote the assembly rate of the metro station and the efficiency of the flow assembly of the station, which provides a reference for the design of prefabricated metro station.

Structural calculation and optimization design of prefabricated underground station in the backfilling stage of foundation trench
PENG Zhiyong, YANG Xiuren, HUANG Meiqun
Abstract:
The backfilling of foundation trench is a common construction stage in the construction of open excavation prefabricated underground station. If the structure calculation is carried out in the traditional way, the calculation details at this stage are easy to be ignored. Considering the dynamic change of internal force and deformation of prefabricated underground structure with the construction process, it is necessary to clarify the important role of backfilling of foundation trench in the calculation of open-excavation prefabricated underground structure. In this paper, firstly, the mechanism of the influence of concrete liquid state to solid state on structure during the backfilling stage of foundation trench is analyzed. A structural calculation model based on the inheritance effect of liquid backfill load is proposed. The increment method is used to analyze the mechanical change law of prefabricated underground structure with or without inheritance effect. On this basis, the structure optimization analysis of the prefabricated underground station is carried out from the perspectives of the number of backfilling times of foundation trench, the adjustment of operation procedure and the adjustment of structure form. For the prefabricated underground station structure, the results show that: (1) the liquid inheritance effect of foundation trench backfilling mainly affects the structural design of the side wall; (2) The number of layered backfilling mainly affects the stability of prefabricated underground structure in the backfilling stage of foundation trench. The less the number of layered backfilling, the more serious the vault uplift and arch foot retraction of arch prefabricated underground structure. (3) Reasonable application of process adjustment (such as the middle plate installation before the backfilling of the trough) can significantly improve the inhibition of the uplift of the arch and the shrinkage of the arch foot, but the process adjustment can cause the increase of the internal force of the side wall area, and the influence of the internal force and deformation of the structure is opposite. (4) When the structure of arch prefabricated underground station is adjusted to a rectangular structure, the risk of instability in the backfilling stage of the structure foundation trench will be significantly reduced, and the internal force of the structure will be reduced, and the influence on the internal force and deformation of the structure will converge.

Abstract:
In the actual assembling process of the prefabricated double - member arch structure, the phenomenon of jack empty support is easy to be caused by the asynchronism of the stroke. Based on the three-dimensional numerical calculation, the paper analyzes the different empty of the fabricated under the condition of double component top arch structure, mechanical properties, and on the basis of maximum principal stress failure criterion, completed the different empty mechanical properties of the fabricated under roof arch structure, evaluation, research and analysis found that: (1) the upper supporting platform for empty when, structure of inner development trend of maximum principal stress to compressive stress; (2) When the lower supporting platform is in empty support, the maximum principal stress in the structure develops towards tensile stress; (3) When only the upper supporting platform is in empty support, the main body of the prefabricated double-member top arch structure meets the maximum principal stress tensile design limit; (4) When there is any empty support of the lower supporting platform, the partial area of the prefabricated double-member top arch structure will not meet the maximum principal stress tensile design limit. Compared with the original state, the tensile amplitude of the structure increases by 567% to 841%.

Research of Virtual Coupling Technology based on Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication
Abstract:
Virtual coupling technology, an effective means to improve the efficiency of rail transportation capacity use, can solve the problems of operation cumbersome and train network low initial efficiency existing in mechanical coupling. To improve the flexibility of operation and achieve safe and efficient train tracking, this paper summarizes the ideas of transparent transmission and closed-loop control of mechanical coupling. And on the basis of the safety interval protection technology of the preceding train speed and the dynamic operation adjustment mode of threshold management, a virtual coupling scheme based on vehicle-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-signal system fusion is proposed. Based on high-quality vehicle-to-vehicle communication technology, real-time communication occurs between two vehicles, and the following train fully responds to the control command and operation status of the predecessor and always operates based on the safety status of the predecessor. In this case, the closed-loop synchronous control of the virtual coupled train can be realized and further reduce the internal running interval of the virtual coupled train, improving the operation efficiency of the train. The proposed scheme provides a reference for the practical application of virtual coupling synchronous control.

Research and Application of the Key Technology of Joint Waterproof for Prefabricated Metro Station Structures
Abstract:
The joint waterproof performance of the prefabricated metro station structures has been paid much attention by the industry. In view of the characteristics of the structure, component manufacturing and construction technology of the prefabricated stations, this paper analyzes the main influence factors and control indexes of the two key parameters of "joint gap amount" and "gasket offset amount" which are highly related to the joint waterproof performance. Combined with the experimental research on the waterproof performance of the sealing gasket and the monitoring results of the actual engineering application, the key technologies of the multiple waterproof lines of “two gaskets + one injection + one embedding” of the joint’s seam have been fully demonstrated. The “two gaskets” use ethylene-propylene terpolymer (EPDM) elastic sealing gasket as the main waterproof, and the composite water swelling rubber as the reinforced waterproof, forming a composite porous sealing gasket with multi grooves. The sealing gasket is the main defense line of the joint waterproof line, and the grouting and caulking are the auxiliary defense lines. The research and practical application show that the joint waterproof of prefabricated station structures is different from that of shield tunnels not only in waterproof structural measures, but also in various control standards. The gap amount of 10mm and the offset amount of 5mm are reasonable indicators for the joint waterproof performance control for prefabricated station structures. The single waterproof sealing gasket can resist the water pressure of 1.0MPa under the condition of the gap amount as 10mm and the offset amount as 5mm, meeting the performance requirements of the station structure with 30m buried depth to resist 2-3 times of the head pressure. After 100 years of use, it still has about 67% residual stress value, and has long-term water pressure resistance performance. The double sealing gaskets have limited improvement in waterproof performance compared with the single sealing gasket, with an improvement rate of 20% ~ 30%. However, when there is local water leakage in the outer sealing gasket of the lining, the double sealing gaskets have significant advantages. From the perspective of reasonable tensile load of joints, the hardness of EPDM rubber gasket needs to be reduced by 5SHA compared with that of conventional shield tunnel, i.e., 60SHA is adopted, and the complete compression load index per unit length is not more than 40kN/m. According to the existing and under construction projects, the measured maximum gap of the joint for the station structure and the maximum offset of the surface meet the requirements of the joint waterproof performance control standard. In the case of no external waterproof layer, there is no leakage at the joint.

Research on the Influencing Factors and control of Longitudinal Tensioning Force of Prefabricated Metro Station
Abstract:
Prefabricated metro station has been widely used in Changchun, Qingdao, Shenzhen and other cities. The joint width is an important factor in determining the assembly quality of prefabricated station. A case study of Shenzhen metro prefabricated station is undertaken to further improve the assembly quality of prefabricated station and better control the joint width of prefabricated stations. This paper emphatically analyzes the influencing factors and control methods of longitudinal tensioning force of prefabricated station. The result of the analysis shows that the main factors affecting the longitudinal tensioning force of prefabricated station are the layout of tension points, the stiffness of elastic gasket, the friction between components and contact object, and the construction attitude of components in the stretching process. Among them, the stiffness of rubber gasket is the main influencing factor of longitudinal tensioning force, so different control values of tensioning force should be adopted according to the stiffness of sealing gasket to achieve the control width of joints. In addition, the longitudinal tension point has a great effect on the compression uniformity of rubber gasket. Thus, the compression of rubber gasket can be effectively controlled within 1mm when the longitudinal tension point spacing of long and large components is about 5m. What’s more, the side wall components and the arch vault components are tensioned when the sling is not completely unloaded, which can effectively reduce the influence of the component translation on the contact waterproof gasket, and is conducive to the tension of the components in place. Through the monitoring of the longitudinal tensioning force at the construction site, it is found that the tensioning force of each ring is not constant which is mostly distributed in 295-310 kN and the tensile force of the side wall and roof components is slightly larger than that of the floor components.

XU Chengyong, LI Tianshi, ZHANG Xiaowei
Abstract:
Batong Line is situated in the eastern part of Beijing. Passengers have expected pass-though operation between Beijing Metro Line 1 and Batong Line for a long time as a result of strong centripetal travel demand, and more than 80 percent of passengers transfer at Sihui Station and Sihuidong Station for working in central city. With the review of Line 1 and Batong Line construction, the paper sorts out the planning conditions for the pass-through operation, and summarizes the experience of overseas urban rail transit lines connected with suburban lines. Based on the Tokyo urban rail transit case, the shortcomings of the Batong Line at the early planning and design stage are analyzed and the needs for pass-through service renovation is discussed. A scheme with four turnouts was determined through alternative comparison. The renovation plan for the pass-through service considers both through and separate operating modes, which can not only provide a more refined passenger transportation management, but also play a role in Saving & Efficiency. On this basis, the technical standards for the pass-through renovation are integrated and the principle of design specifications not lower than the construction phase of the existing line is proposed. Finally, in order to maintain the regular operation of the line and depot during construction, a three-stage proposal was adopted for gradual through service and a favorable renovation effect was achieved. The renovation of Line 1, China's first subway line, has successfully optimized the connection between Line 1 and Batong Line, creating a new milestone in the history of urban rail transit development in China.

Study on Stress Characteristics of Prefabricated Subway Station Foundation Pit Support Structure Under Internal Support System
XU Haihui, WU Chenggang, ZHANG Yuanrong
Abstract:
Taking the prefabricated subway station of Shenzhen Hospital of traditional Chinese medicine as the engineering background, combined with the engineering geological conditions of the station and the construction process of the prefabricated station, the ground structure model is established by using ABAQUS finite element analysis software.The deformation law of the foundation pit, the change law of the axial force of the support and the stress characteristics of the inverted continuous support during the construction of the prefabricated station are emphatically analyzed. First, the deformation of the foundation pit of the prefabricated station is mainly divided into the excavation stage and the station assembly stage. The total deformation of the diaphragm wall is 10.31mm, of which the excavation stage is relatively large, accounting for 88.6% of the total deformation. The deformation trend of the foundation pit during the excavation process is the same as that of the cast-in-place station; In the process of support replacement and structure assembly, the deformation of the diaphragm wall accounts for 11.4% of the total deformation, and the variation range is 0.05 ~ 0.99mm. The deformation value and range are quite different from those of the cast-in-situ station; Support removal and support replacement are important construction steps in the construction of prefabricated stations. The temporary support axial force of the middle plate near the support removal ring is large, accounting for 80% of the total support replacement axial force. Therefore, when arranging connecting supports, the number of connecting supports near the support replacement ring can be appropriately increased, and the number of connecting supports far away from the support replacement ring can be reduced; The results of numerical calculation and field monitoring are compared, and the change laws of the two are basically the same, which verifies the effectiveness of the numerical analysis.

Research and Formulation of Control Standard for Assembly Accuracy of Open-Excavated Prefabricated Tunnel Structures
Abstract:
The research and application of construction technology for open-excavated prefabricated tunnel structures is still in its infancy in China. The control standard of assembly accuracy is an important ruler to measure and control the project quality during the construction of prefabricated structures. The reasonable formulation of the standard is related to the safety, reliability, economic rationality and practical operability of the project construction. Through the analysis of the factors affecting assembly accuracy, the theoretical index has been proposed, and combined with the practical application of the project and the analysis and refinement of the normal distribution curve of the measured values, the control standards for the main control elements of the assembly accuracy for the open-excavated prefabricated tunnel structures have been developed, including the axis plane positioning deviation, elevation positioning deviation, component shape and attitude deviation, joint opening, structural surface dislocation, longitudinal dislocation of the same ring. The allowable values such as the plane dislocation of the front and rear circumferential longitudinal joints have been compared with the relevant standards for open-excavated cast-in-place tunnels, shield tunnels and prefabricated integral structures. The research and actual engineering application proves that the control standards are generally reasonable, which can be used as a reference for subsequent engineering construction and the formulation of relevant standards. The component fabrication accuracy has a great impact on the assembly accuracy. Improving the component fabrication accuracy is of great significance to improve the assembly accuracy. The self-weight compaction mode is the most favorable for controlling longitudinal joint opening of the tunnels. The opening amount of circumferential joint for the tunnels can be effectively controlled by controlling the tensioning load, improving the accuracy of component fabrication, controlling the cumulative error of construction, etc. The positioning pin bar is set at the joint, and the positioning accuracy and the amount of space reserved are strictly controlled, which plays a key role in the control structure indicating the amount of platform staggering.

Assembly design method and key technology of open-excavated prefabricated tunnel structure
Abstract:
The assembly technology of prefabricated tunnel structure under open-excavated construction is quite different from shield tunnel. In the engineering design stage, the structural assembly needs to be planned and designed in detail according to the structural type and assembly mode, so as to support high-quality and efficient construction, ensure the bearing performance and stability of the structure, and meet the waterproof performance requirements of joints. Based on the research and practical achievements of the author and his team in the construction technology of open-excavated prefabricated metro stations over the years, this paper systematically summarizes and discusses the assembly design method and key technologies, and puts forward the assembly method, base surface fine leveling technology, positioning control technology, tension locking technology, roof support limit measures, precision control standards and other assembly key technologies. In general, the open-excavated prefabricated tunnel structure shall take the fixed end of the first ring as the starting point, proceed along the longitudinal direction, and follow the basic principle of "from bottom to top", and assembly block by block and layer by layer. The base surface at the bottom of the foundation pit shall be finely leveled, and according to the foundation conditions and the structural type of the bottom plate, fine leveling strip method or foundation surface leveling method can be selected. The tunnel lining structure should be equipped with a certain number of guiding and positioning devices at the joint assembling surface to effectively control the dislocation of the structure surface while helping to accurately locate the components. The open-excavated prefabricated tunnel should be set on a straight line as far as possible. When the tunnel is located in a curved section, the curve can be fitted by means of "wedge-shaped component + equal width joint" or "equal width component + wedge-shaped joint". However, the maximum joint width of the wedge-shaped joint should meet the requirements of joint waterproof performance, and it is difficult to control the assembly accuracy, so the construction is challenging. The tensioning and locking of longitudinal and circumferential assembly should adopt the tensioning and locking method of prestressed steel bar or bolt. The "centroid tracking method" should be used for prestressed tensioning, and the multi-point coordination and synchronous tensioning and locking should be used to maintain the uniformity of the joint width, effectively control the opening of the target joint width, and timely fill the gap under the prefabricated bottom plate with grouting, and timely support and limit the side wall, arch foot and other key parts.

Study on the effect of auxiliary tension device on the mechanical properties of grouted mortise-tenon joint
Abstract:
In order to study the mechanical characteristics of auxiliary tension device for the grouted mortise-tenon joint, this paper first introduces the structure of the joint with auxiliary tension device in detail. Based on the joint test results, the characteristics of the pretightening steel bar in different stress property areas have also been analyzed, and it is clear that the function of the auxiliary tension device is to delay the damage and increase the ductility of the joint. At the same time, taking Changchun prefabricated metro station structure as an example, the practical effects of the auxiliary tension device of various types of the used joints have been analyzed. Next, based on the algorithm of grouted mortise-tenon joint, the influences of the settings of different auxiliary tension devices on the bearing capacity of the joint have been analyzed from the two aspects of the preloads and the positions of the pretightening steel bar. The results show that: it is recommended to set the pretightening steel bar on the tension side, and when the axial force is small, appropriately increasing the preload value of the pretightening steel bar can improve the later bearing capacity of the joint; Larger preload has obvious effect on the nonlinear bearing stage of the joint, but has little effect on the linear bearing stage; For the joint with auxiliary tension device on the tension side, when the preload is large enough, setting the pretightening steel bar at a certain distance from the central axis within the allowable range of the joint’s structure will increase the elevating effect of the pretightening steel bar on the later bearing stage of the joint; For the joint with auxiliary tension device on the compression side, avoiding large preload of the pretightening steel bar and setting it closer to the central axis are recommended.

Performance Analysis of Grouted Single-Tenon Joint Based on In-suit Monitoring
Abstract:
The whole-process monitoring and measurement of prefabricated mero station structure is carried out for the first time in Changchun Metro Line 2. Based on the whole process monitoring data of on-site construction and operation, this paper analyzes the internal force and deformation of the grouted single-tenon joint at the arch foot. The performance of grouted single-tenon joint in different stages has been grasped, and the numerical results have also been compared. The results show that: after the components are assembled into a ring, the mortise and tenon of the joint embedded into each other, and the tenon shows bending effect. After the backfill, the joint mainly resists moment effect. The overlying soil backfill and water-level recovery play a positive role in the deformation and stress of the joint. The monitoring results are relatively stable from the end of construction disturbance to operation. The overall internal force and deformation of the grouted single-tenon joint is small, and the safety margin is rich.

Technology Study and Application of Assembled Hollow Concrete-filled Steel Tubular Struts
Abstract:
In view of the “Double Carbon” strategic background, a new type of assembled hollow concrete-filled steel tubular strut has been proposed. In order to investigate the load-carrying behavior of the strut and to facilitate the introduction into the deep foundation pit of underground stations, two full-scale hollow concrete-filled steel tubular struts were designed and manufactured, and were further tested to failure under axial compression. The two strut specimens experienced the concrete crushing failure, and the load-carrying capacities of the tested specimens were obtained. Elaborate finite element (FE) models of the hollow concrete-filled steel tubular struts were developed by using the ABAQUS software package. Numerical analysis taking into account both material and geometric nonlinearities was conducted, and the obtained numerical results were in good agreement with the obtained test data, verifying the accuracy of the developed FE models. It has been demonstrated by the obtained experimental and numerical results that the newly proposed hollow concrete-filled steel tubular struts could satisfy the design requirement of ordinary engineering applications, and have been successfully applied in the No. 2 ventilation shaft project of Tangma Interval. This new type of strut was also compared with the cast-in-stie reinforced concrete strut and the steel tubular strut, and it was indicated that the introduction of the new strut could lead to significantly reduced carbon emission and decreased economic cost.

Key Points and Practices of Mountain Cluster City Urban Rail Transit Network Planning——Taking Guiyang as an example
Abstract:
Since mountain cluster cities are restricted by natural conditions such as mountains, hills, and valleys, their urban forms, road network structure and traffic characteristics are different from those of plain cities, which will directly affect the layout of the rail transit network. In this study, by taking Guiyang rail transit network planning as an example, according to the characteristics of mountainous cluster cities, we optimized a method commonly used in transit network planning, analytic hierarchy process, involving elements of surface, point, and line. Furthermore, we analyzed and summarized the key points in the transit network planning stage of mountain cluster cities to provide references for the subsequent mountainous urban rail transit planning. Through research and analysis, the key point of planning in urban rail transit networks for mountain cluster cities is proposed. In the analysis of the "surface" element, the key points include the quantitative analysis of the rail supply-demand relationship in key transport sections, as well as the proposal of the rail supply scheme according to the combination of the demand and the network form. In the analysis of the "line" element, the vertical relationship should be paid full attention to and used in transit network planning to increase the accessibility of rail transit; In the analysis of the "points" element, topographic factors should be fully considered in the layout of stations and the surrounding land should be well connected.

Development conception of intelligent early warning device for vibration and noise monitoring of urban rail transit operation line
Abstract:
Vibration and noise problems need to be transformed to the mode of "active prevention and control of early warning". It is urgent to develop an intelligent early warning device for vibration and noise monitoring. This device can monitor the sensitive points in real time and master the deterioration of the line over time. The device consists of three modules: vibration and noise status monitoring module, vibration and noise warning module, and early warning data information sharing module. Vibration and noise status monitoring module completes the collection of current data, and transmits it to the server in real time, and stores each real-time step. Then, through the vibration and noise warning module, the state of vibration and noise can be assessed by comparing the test data with the report of similar project time-consuming data, and the adjacent points with vibration and noise exceeding the standard can be compared and analyzed by historical data and simulation, so as to give an early warning to the threshold of the near-set grading. After the start of early warning, maintenance departments should take corresponding remediation measures to suggest, collect relevant data of anomaly monitoring system and on-site survey. Finally, the transformation from "passive remediation of complaints" to "active prevention and control of early warning" mode will be achieved.

Analysis of problems in the Application Public Offering REITs in the Field of Urban Rail Transit
Abstract:
Combined with the characteristics of public REITs and development status of urban rail transit, the applicability and existing problems of REITs in the field of urban rail transit are analyzed, and the preconditions for urban rail transit to carry out REITs pilots are proposed. Because urban rail transit is a large-scale infrastructure and a quasi-public product, it generally implements government pricing and lower fares are the norm. Lower fares and higher construction and operating costs make it difficult for ticketing revenue to cover operating costs. According to statistics, the national average operating revenue and expenditure ratio in recent years is 65% - 78%. Therefore, at this stage urban rail transit does not meet the preconditions that the underlying assets of REITs can make their own profits, and is not suitable to be the underlying assets of REITs. If REITs are issued through asset restructuring, whether taking the network or operation as the underlying asset, it will bring about problems such as increased financial subsidies and increased government debt. Therefore, at this stage, there are no conditions for the widespread promotion of REITs in China. Some high-quality projects in developed cities can be selected for pilots. It is suggested to judge whether the project is a high-quality project through its own profitability and government financial resources. For pilot projects, we should also pay attention to the reinvestment project, the level of asset managers, rents, commissioned operation and management fees and other charging standards.

Abstract:
As an important achievement in the development of vehicular communication, virtual coupling technology can effectively reduce headways and provide a more flexible online scheme of coupling and uncoupling, providing a new method for optimizing the train operation organization in the suburban railway. Taking the typical suburban railway line with " one trunk and several branches " as an example, this paper analyzes several traditional methods of train operation organization and then designs a new train operation organization scheme based on virtual coupling technology. Results show that with the same frequency of the main line as other schemes, the virtual coupling and flexible coupling schemes can increase the service frequency of the branch line, save the number of rolling stocks, and reduce the passenger waiting time and travel time. Compared with the flexible coupling pattern, the virtual coupling scheme has more obvious advantages in reducing passenger travel time and the rolling stock traveling kilometers.

YOU Ting, MA Fayun, MIAO Feng, XU Gongde, YANG Zhongping
Abstract:
Virtual coupling technology realizes "virtual connection" of vehicles through vehicle to vehicle (V2V) wireless communication technology. Since there is no mechanical coupling device such as coupler between vehicles, dynamic marshalling and unmarshalling can be carried out during the operation of vehicles, so as to realize flexible transportation mode based on passenger flow. Based on the comprehensive optimization of passenger travel time and train transportation efficiency, the optimization method of virtual coupled trains operation plan is proposed in this paper. Then, taking an urban rail transit line as an example, the optimization design results are given according to the original-destination (OD) data of morning peak passenger flow. Comparing the virtual coupling optimization plan with the current plan, the results show that the virtual coupling optimization scheme can not only ensure the transportation efficiency, but also effectively shorten the passengers travel time and improve the service quality of rail transit.

Abstract:
Metro vehicles driven by linear motor are not limited by wheel rail adhesion during traction or electric braking. The intervention of electric braking into emergency braking can improve the braking performance. For the sake of safety, the vehicle refers to the protection curve to monitor the electric emergency braking performance in real time. In order to accurately calculate the protection curve, the application process of the actuator was analyzed and the emergency braking performance was modeled in this paper. It was proposed to combine and analyze the theoretical performance of each actuator to obtain the instantaneous theoretical emergency braking performance. Combined with the performance model and instantaneous theoretical performance, the critical condition of electric emergency braking performance was deduced. From the perspective of safety and availability, the critical conditions were optimized and the protection curve of the vehicle was solved. The vehicle test of Beijing Airport Line showed that under the speed level of 110km / h, when the judgment coefficient is 0.92 and the adjustment coefficient is -0.12, the safety margin of deceleration is 2.7% and the safety margin of braking distance is 5.3%, which verifies the safety and availability of the protection curve.

Influence analysis of anchor bolt foundation of high-rise building under mining tunnel
Abstract:
In order to ensure the safety of the mining tunnel passing through the shallow foundation elevation building and ensure that the anti overturning ability of the elevation building is not weakened, this paper uses the finite element analysis method and combined with the specification requirements to analyze the impact of the building anti pull anchor foundation in the process of the tunnel passing through the shallow foundation elevation building, compare the stress state of the anchor foundation before and after the stratum reinforcement, and analyze the effect of stratum reinforcement. According to the finite element analysis and the calculation of the standard formula, the tunnel excavation causes the displacement and deformation of the stratum around the anchor foundation towards the tunnel direction, which plays a tensile role on the anchor foundation, resulting in the reduction of the anti overturning safety factor of high-rise buildings. The stratum grouting reinforcement measures can effectively reduce the impact of tunnel construction on the anchor foundation, and the grouting range can be optimized according to the influence line of tunnel construction.

To adapt the new environment and new situation of Chongqing rail transit construction, combined with the topography, geological conditions and characteristics of rail transit stations in the main urban area of Chongqing, this paper proposed a new construction method of large section deep-buried rail transit stations- bench cut method with expanded arch feet. Based on the New Austrian Tunneling Method as the theoretical basis, this construction method gives full play to the self-stabilizing ability of the surrounding rock and the space constraint of the excavation surface, and the load is transferred to the surrounding rock by the setting of the large arch feet of the primary lining to improve the bearing capacity and stability of the arch area of the primary lining. At the same time, through the step-by-step excavation, sufficient construction space is provided for the excavation of large-section tunnels, which effectively improves the construction efficiency of the tunnel and saves project investment and construction period. This paper takes Hongyancun Station of Chongqing Rail Transit Line 9 as a case to compare and analyze this construction method and the double side drift method. Through theoretical calculation and analysis, it can be concluded that bench cut method with expanded arch feet has less disturbance to the surrounding rock, which is more beneficial to the protection and deformation control of the surrounding rock, and the engineering risk is also more controllable.

Wang Yueyue, Sun Qi, Zhong Houyue
Abstract:
In the rail transit real-time passenger flow monitoring business, a station real-time passenger flow alarm is to help the operator quickly and accurately locate the station that may have a significant passenger flow risk in the network to achieve the role of early warning. If the alarm threshold is too small, the alarm frequency will increase so that the operator cannot accurately judge the high passenger flow risk station that needs to be paid attention to most and have a numb mentality to the alarm prompt; if the alarm threshold is too large, the risk of sudden large passenger flow in the station may not be monitored, and responses cannot be taken in time. Therefore, the primary purpose of this paper is to propose a set of scientific, reasonable, and applicable alarm thresholds. This paper uses the traditional statistical method and the isolation forest method based on machine learning to train and set the alarm threshold. In addition, the two algorithms are compared through the application effect test. It is confirmed that training the outliers in the isolation forest ensures that the alarm threshold is more aligned with the business goals. According to the principle of "one station, one plan" and "one time period, one plan", the research results of this paper provide the alarm threshold of the station’s real-time inbound and outbound volume for the dispatching emergency command, passenger guidance and information service platform of the Beijing Metro Network Control Center(BMNCC), and support the real-time monitoring of passenger flow and the risk early warning of large passenger flow.

The Impact of Urban Rail Transit Vehicle Base land Planning on Its Comprehensive Development Performance
Abstract:
The planning layout and land scale of the land use plan of the rail transit vehicle base have a significant impact on the feasibility and economy of its comprehensive development. On the basis of the analysis and summary of the comprehensive development characteristics and development status of the vehicle base, taking Beijing, Nanning and other cities as an example, the planning layout and land use scale of the typical vehicle base are studied, and it is found that due to the subjective factors of the vehicle base cycle, high cost, low compatibility, strong sensitivity to development performance and other process attributes, the remote planning layout, the lack of supporting facilities to limit the expected benefits, and the mode of single choice of land for major projects has caused institutional bottlenecks. Objective factors of land use planning, such as simple land-saving design and increased development costs, limit the implementation effect and comprehensive performance of comprehensive utilization of vehicle bases. Based on this, suggestions are made for the improvement of the lack and misalignment of the vehicle base in terms of functional positioning, site selection standards, land use procedures, planning and preparation.

Research on temperature prediction of subway transformer windings based on LSTM
Wen Jianmin, He Bin, Wang Kaikang, Ye Fei, Liu Hongjian, Chen Jie, Liu Zhigang
Abstract:
The traditional subway condition monitoring system can only reflect the current temperature state of transformer winding and its historical temperature trend. When the winding temperature exceeds the threshold, the system will give an alarm. But the system can not predict the future temperature change of the transformer and the change of equipment operating state. The winding temperature is affected by multiple factors such as operating power and ambient temperature, and its change is nonlinear and periodic. It is difficult to improve the accuracy of traditional prediction methods. With the development of deep learning technology, the transformer winding temperature was predicted based on the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) algorithm. The winding temperature, ambient temperature, operating power and operating current were selected as input variables, and the historical state data of the transformer were collected to form a large amount of training data for off-line training. The relationship between multiple influencing factors and winding temperature was reflected by the transformer temperature prediction model. Finally, the algorithm was applied to subway power transformer. The sample data were collected for training to obtain the temperature prediction model. The test data was input into the trained model. The relative temperature difference between the real value and the predicted value of winding temperature was calculated to analyze and verify the feasibility and accuracy of the algorithm. The results showed that LSTM algorithm could fully mine the deep relationship between multiple influencing factors and winding temperature in the face of large data samples. The temperature prediction model can accurately predict the changes of winding temperature.

Study of Energy-saving Slop Optimization of Metro Profile in Cruising Mode
Yang Dongying, 易思蓉, 王仲林, 刘德卫
Abstract:
Cruising mode is a common method used by metro trains for safety, comfort, and punctual operation. However, the manual design of vertical alignment is hard to fit with the cruising state and the variation of design conditions, which means ineffective energy saving. This paper defines mileages and elevations of the gradient change points, sets up a vertical alignment optimization model based on the objective of minimum traction energy consumption of double directions, and utilizes a differential evolution algorithm to solve the optimization model. The optimization strategy includes two stages named initial alignment search and adjustment. The appropriate number of gradient change points are set according to the interval length in the stage of initial alignment search, and the gradient change points with small gradient differences on the initial alignment are deleted in order to get the finial optimal alignment. The optimization result reveals that the energy saving of double directions could be small while the energy-saving slopes are steep and the middle slopes are gentle. The sensitive analysis reveals that the length of the energy-saving slop should be large if the coasting length is large. If the elevation difference of stations is large, the gradient and length of energy-saving slop adjacent lower station should be small, and the length of energy-saving slop adjacent higher station should be larger.

Abstract:
In the rail transit network of the same city, how the traffic corridor effect between the traffic stations along the rail transit line or adjacent lines will affect the optimization of land mixed development and utilization in the TOD area of urban rail transit is the problem discussed in this paper .The mixed-use planning of the TOD area of urban rail transit stations should consider the interaction between urban rail transit lines and stations, and consider the TOD area of rail transit stations with linkage effects as a whole for land use function planning.This paper adopted the method of quantitative analysis to analyze the TOD degree of land use around rail transit stations.Within the TOD area of urban rail transit, used CAD tools to identify the status quo of land use, and use DPSO to determine the utilization mode and floor area ratio of undeveloped land, so that the land use in the TOD area of rail transit took into account the high level of connotation of TOD concept. The principle of density development also took into account the humanized design principle of the comfortable environment of "Park City".The study selected four commercial core rail transit TOD areas in Chengdu to evaluate the degree of mixed use planning of empirical land, and found that rail transit TOD areas with higher accessibility were more inclined to plan a large number of residential and commercial land,while the lower areas’ planning was similar to the general independent planning of rail transit TOD areas, and various types of land were more balanced.

Study on the management of abnormal rail corrugation in underground foundation vibration reduction section
Abstract:
Aiming at the problem of abnormal rail corrugation caused by subway lines, this paper investigates the rail corrugation situation and basic characteristics of a subway line, tests the track stiffness, rail profile, gauge and track dynamic characteristics, puts forward the treatment ideas of abnormal rail corrugation, tracks and tests the treatment effect of rail corrugation, and puts forward the treatment and prevention schemes of rail corrugation in existing and newly-built subway lines. The results show that the wave grinding of subway rail is serious, and the wavelength is between 25 and 100 mm; The vertical and lateral stiffness of the track is weak, the rail displacement is large, the ability to keep the gauge is poor, the wheel-rail relationship deteriorates, and the wheel-rail vibration intensifies in a specific frequency range, which leads to the emergence and development of rail wave grinding. By replacing fasteners and pads, fine measurement and adjustment of track, and rail grinding measures, the noise inside the car can be reduced by 5~10dB, the rail roughness can be significantly reduced, and the grinding period can be more than doubled. The existing lines can be treated by "detailed investigation, parameter adjustment, fine maintenance and dynamic inspection". The newly-built subway lines should be strictly controlled in the stages of planning, design, operation and maintenance and dynamic acceptance, and the vibration-damping track should be reasonably adopted to avoid the occurrence and development of abnormal rail wave grinding.

Technology of high rigidity and low reinforcement prestressed shield tunnel structure
Abstract:
At present, the general practice of shield tunnel at home and abroad adopts the method of segment segmentation and bolt connection. In this way, the circumferential and longitudinal overall stiffness of shield tunnel is highly dependent on the stratum, and the integrity and ovality are greatly affected by the disturbance of the stratum, especially in soft soil areas. At the same time, the reinforcement of segments is relatively large. This paper puts forward a technology of prestressed shield tunnel with strong stiffness and low reinforcement, which can effectively solve the self defects of low stiffness and insufficient deformation resistance of shield tunnel in theory, and fundamentally improve the integrity, deformation resistance, stability, bearing capacity and water resistance of shield tunnel. According to the calculation and analysis of the same working condition, different stratum conditions can provide no less than 45% optimization space on the basis of the reinforcement of the existing shield segment, and ensure the structural safety and reasonable stress.

Abstract:
With the continuous accumulation of economy, industry and population in urban agglomerations and metropolitan areas, suburban railways are developing rapidly. Taking the planning and design of express/slow line of Beijing Rail Transit PINGGU Line as an example, it is recommended to set different speed target values for different line sections in combination with the length of the line and the conditions of stations along the line. Taking into full account factors such as passenger flow characteristics, passenger convenience, and convenient operations management, it is recommended to adopt the 3-routing scheme in the long-term. The express line stops are determined based on factors such as the boarding and alighting scale of each station during peak hours, the functional orientation of the stations, the main transfer stations, and the planning time target. The passenger flow of the PINGGU line has an obvious tidal phenomenon, so it is suggested that the asymmetrical departures be organized up and down direction during the morning peak. Combined with the planning time target and auxiliary line scheme, it is planned to operate 4 pairs of express trains in the morning peak in the long-term.

Laboratory Testing and Applicability Study on Mono-Mortar for TBM Tunnel under Soft Ground Condition
Abstract:
From the perspective of groundwater protection, surface vegetation protection and tunnel structure durability, mono-mortar caters for the demand of ecological environment protection much more. Based on this reason, the article carries out tests of horizontal slump, oedometer, bleeding, setting time, unconfined compressive, etc. on mono-mortar which can be applied to lean clay and mixed-grained soils. The paper aims to study the physical and mechanical properties of mono-mortar, raising solutions for problems such as the difficulties of estimating early strength, the uncontrollability of hardening time, and the easy blockage of grouting pipeline. The results show that: the measured grouting pressure loss caused by friction, viscous resistance between the mortar and pipeline is 0.16bar, which can be negligible compared with the grouting pressure; the performance development of mono mortar can perfectly meet tight time schedule for TBM heading efficiently; the bear capacity of mono-mortar rises with the increase of the oedometer pressure; the comparison of predicted value and the monitored value of ground settlement verifies the reasonability of the oedometer test theory that mortar can bear strength under a certain pressure in annular gap grouting process.

Study on Morphological Characteristics of Rail Transit Sites Based on Space Syntax:Taking Three Subway Station Areas in Guangzhou as Examples
Abstract:
In response to the problems of insufficient coupling between traffic stations and spatial forms, poor walking environment, and functional inadaptability during the implementation of TOD in the cities of China, this study, by employing the theories and methods suggested by space syntax, takes three subway stations of Guangzhou, including Zhujiang New Town, Gongyuanqian and Changshou Road as examples. Through comparing and analyzing their configurational properties as well as their relationship with station layout, pedestrian movement pattern, construction intensity, and functional distribution, this study aims to examine the morphological development characteristics in light of TOD principles, subsequently identifying problems arising from the process of implementation. As a result, this study has revealed that the gridding level of Zhujiang New Town Station area is insufficient, and the coupling and interaction between the station and spatial configuration is relatively poor. By contrast, the configuration of Gongyuanqian Station area is highly accessible, and its effect on accumulating activities is considerably strong, but there is a certain degree of incompatibility between the functional distribution and the spatial organization. Changshou Road Station is located in the old urban district, and its background network tends to be continuous and uniform, which is beneficial for pedestrian movements at the community level. Based on the above analysis, this study suggests that future development of rail transit station areas in China should pay more attention to the generative effect of spatial configuration on movement patterns, and improve the synergy among station planning, functional distribution and urban configuration.

Study on energy-saving potential of ventilation and air-conditioning system of PSD subway stations
Abstract:
With the rapid urbanization and the proposal of carbon neutralization goal, the energy conservation of subway stations has become the focus in China. In order to clarify the energy-saving potentials of various operation measures for subway stations, this study conducted large-scale simulations on annual energy consumption of ventilation and air-conditioning (VAC) system for platform screen door (PSD) subway stations in different climates. Based on this, the energy-saving potentials of optimizing operational-related parameters to the leading value were analyzed systematically and quantitatively, including cancelling mechanical fresh air supply, enhancing PSD airtightness, increasing air-conditioning temperature, increasing COP of the chiller and increasing EER of terminal equipment. Results show that for subway stations in the studied climate regions, operation measure with the greatest energy-saving potential is increasing air-conditioning temperature, with the energy-saving potential ranging from 17% to 21%; energy-saving potentials of cancelling mechanical fresh air supply, increasing COP of the chiller and increasing EER of terminal equipment range from 12% to 20%, with differences for stations in different climate regions; the measures with the lowest energy-saving potential is enhancing PSD airtightness, with the energy-saving potential ranging from 1% to 4%. Besides, by optimizing all of the above operational-related parameters to the leading value, the energy savings of the VAC system for PSD subway stations in cold region, hot-summer cold winter region and hot-summer warm-winter region areas can reach 220 MWh/year, 370MWh/year and 610MWh/year, respectively, with 41%, 48% and 52% of the energy-saving potentials, respectively.

Older adults’s metro travel satisfaction and implications for metro improvement
YANG Linchuan, TANG Xianglong, SHI Yaling, LIANG Yuan, YAN Qinran
Abstract:
The population in China is aging at a rapid rate, which has attracted great considerable attention from, inter alia, policymakers and scholars. Implementing the national strategy “actively coping with population aging” and meeting the multilevel and diversified needs of older adults are now important tasks of governments in China. Moreover, mobility is the crucial determinant of the quality of life and subjective well-being of older people, and the metro is their oft-used travel mode. This study conducts a questionnaire survey data to collect the metro travel satisfaction data of 270 older Hong Kongers, applies a random forest model to estimate the importance of each service quality attribute to the overall service quality, and adopts an “importance-satisfaction” index to identify the improvement priority toward an age-friendly metro system. We find that older adults are generally satisfied with the metro service. They attach great importance to waiting conditions, priority seats, and travel stability but pay little attention to service frequency and reliability. Notably, priority seats, internal temperature, and accessibility to stations are the top three attributes in need of enhancement. Accordingly, practical implications for age-friendly metro improvement are put forward.

The Formation of Market-Driven TOD Corridors: A Case Study of Bangkok in Thailand
Abstract:
Driven by the market forces, the development of urban rail transit can induce the formation of TOD (transit-oriented development) corridors. The development of urban rail transit system in Bangkok started in the 1990s. It was planned and designed to alleviate the severe traffic congestion problem in the central part of the Bangkok Metropolitan Area, without consideration and plan to guide land use efficiency improvement. However, driven by strong market forces, the land use patterns along the rail transit corridors have undergone profound changes over the past two decades. By tracking the land use change based on remote sensing data, this paper explores the characteristics of real estate redevelopment, the changes of land use functions and densities along the rail transit TOD corridors, and the process of land value uplift. It also analyses the establishment process of TOD corridor taking the central part of BTS lines as example, and explores the impact of walking accessibility improvement on the viability of businesses in the central city. Through the case study of Bangkok, the paper reveals how the market forces underpin the transport and land use interaction and drive urban regeneration process spontaneously. It also discusses market-based TOD planning approach, and its role in optimizing the relationship between transportation and land use.

Research on Urban Rail Transit Service Quality Evaluation Considering Passenger Demand
Abstract:
The evaluation of urban rail transit service quality is a regular assessment work carried out by the industry supervisory department to monitor and evaluate the operation service level of rail transit. The traditional evaluation of urban rail transit service quality takes the form of comparing the overall scores of each line, with less exploration of the main perceptions and real needs of passengers. To improve the service quality of urban rail transit, an evaluation index system of urban rail transit service quality is constructed based on passengers' perceptions and demands and developed a comprehensive evaluation model based on SEM and Bayesian network. By evaluating the robust relationships among variables in the model through SEM and using Bayesian inference and diagnosis to assist in their decision making, the degree of influence of each variable on service quality can be more accurately revealed to achieve targeted optimization of service solutions and meet the multidimensional needs of passengers. Finally, take Kunming rail transit as an example. The results show that the magnitude of the influence of facility reliability, manual service, and travel safety on service quality is large (the path coefficients are 0.50, 0.39, and 0.38; the variation is 2.86%, 2.45%, and 2.20%, respectively). Meanwhile, the Deviance Information Criterion of the model proposed in this paper verifies the feasibility and applicability of the model. It can provide a reference for metro operators on how to improve service quality and attract more passenger flow.

The Future Space Making: TODs and Space Syntax
Abstract:
The TODs, the kind of highly-intensified development area, have relatively complex spatial configurations, rich functions, and humanized spatial service radii. In this way, they will theoretically establish a new route of generating the future urban spatial forms. This article reviews the relevant concepts of the TODs and related typical diagrams, and attempts to analyze the spatial patterns and meanings of the TODs from the perspective of space syntax. Three spatial morphological questions are therefore proposed to distinguish TOD as a simple traffic node or an active place center, as a hyperlink tunnel across space or a fine-grained transformation of multi-layer folded spaces, and as an experiential collection of random individual attraction points or a collective representation of a fascinating complex spatial structure. These more or less illustrate certain scenes of real TODs. The space syntax provides a quantitative tool for thinking, verifying and describing these complex and provocative construction processes of the TODs from the perspectives of physical space composition, traffic travel pattern, social function combination, and human behavior perception, to pursue the spatial value overflow generated by the TODs, and to optimize the spatial experience within the TODs themselves. This article argues that space syntax will provide a good tool for making the spatial dynamics of the TODs.

Abstract:
Based on the tunnel point cloud data obtained by the mobile 3D laser scanning technology, point cloud preprocessing, section extraction and noisy point filtering were carried out, and finally the extraction of measured tunnel ring axial diameter and ellipse fitting were carried out to obtain the numerical and graphic results of horizontal axial diameter, ovality and other ellipse fitting results. From the perspective of geometric morphology, the mathematical relationship and correlation between ovality and ellipse fitting result parameters, such as horizontal transverse diameter and design deviation, ellipse circumference, ellipse axis mean-difference, were statistically analyzed and studied, and the automatic filtering method of long and short axis length outliers obtained by ellipse fitting of measured point cloud of tunnel ring was explored. The results show that there is a strong linear correlation between ovality and horizontal transverse diameter. Ellipse axis mean-difference D (the difference between the major axis plus the minor axis of the ellipse and twice the diameter of the theoretical circle) and the difference between the circumference of the ellipse and the theoretical circumference d has the constraint relation of the formula (11) in this paper, which can be used as the filtering basis for the long and short axis length outliers in the ellipse fitting of tunnel ring deformation.

崔欣, Lu Qing-Chang, 徐标, 李静
Abstract:
Bus connection is usually used to evacuate stranded passengers in case of metro disruptions. In view of the shortcomings of the existing metro network resilience indicator based on network topology efficiency, the network topology efficiency index is improved. This paper considers the impact of bus connection on passenger travel after metro station accidents, and puts forward the network efficiency accessibility index to measure the network performance. Based on the network efficiency accessibility index, a resilience evaluation model is constructed. The relationship between different repair strategies and network performance is discussed, and an optimal repair strategy aiming at maximizing resilience is proposed. Taking Shanghai metro network as an example, this paper studies the impact of bus connection on network performance and the optimal repair strategy under multi-stations failure scenario. The results show that bus connection under sudden failure can reduce the loss of network performance and improve the resilience of metro network. When the repair time of each failure station is different, the cumulative loss of network performance under the repair sequence based on resilience evaluation is lower than that under the repair sequence based on vulnerability evaluation. In the bus connection scenario, priority should be given to repairing stations with large passenger flow, sparse lines around the station, great impact after failure and short repair time, which will help to reduce the loss of network performance.

WU Lujing, Chen Peng, Xu Sixi, Zhang Huili
Abstract:
At present, the isolation layer material of the prefabricated slab track of domestic rail transit adopts the geotextile scheme in the prefabricated slab track of the high-speed railway. The selection and setting of the isolation layer material do not consider the stray current protection problem under the DC traction system, resulting in Part of the stray current leaks. Aiming at this problem, this paper proposes a new scheme of using tetrahydroxy complex ester spray-type insulation material under the track plate of the prefabricated track structure to replace the traditional geotextile insulation material. In this paper, the insulation performance of the material is tested by designing the corresponding indoor model test scheme. The model test results show that when tetrahydroxy complex ester is used as the insulation material under the plate, the insulation performance of the track structure is greatly improved compared with that of the geotextile as the insulation material, which can better improve the stray current protection ability under the DC traction system. The research results have a good reference significance for the protection design of the stray current of the urban rail transit prefabricated track in the future.

Huang Chunhun, REN Lei, Li Chunjian
Abstract:
Affected by extreme weather, the water level of the artificial lake rises rapidly, and the subway shield tunnel passing through the artificial lake subsides. In order to study the reasons for the subsidence deformation of the subway shield tunnel structure, and to evaluate the structural safety of the shield tunnel after the deformation. The deformation of the shield tunnel is analyzed by analyzing the monitoring data on site, using the load structure model to check the strength of the shield tunnel, and the stratum structure model simulating the loading and unloading conditions above the shield tunnel. The calculation results show that the rising water level of the artificial lake is the main reason for the deformation and sinking of the shield tunnel. After the deformation occurs, the bearing capacity and crack width of the tunnel structure meet the design and specification requirements of the shield tunnel, and the shield tunnel structure itself is still safe.

Abstract:
With the rapid development of China's economy, China's urban subway network is more and more widely distributed. Due to its own limitations, the traditional DC power supply system is increasingly unable to meet the existing and future needs. Therefore, the AC power supply system will be used in some urban express lines, such as Guangzhou Metro 22, which will open in 2021. The power supply system produces AC interference to adjacent buried pipelines through electromagnetic coupling of space and resistive coupling of the earth. In engineering, the method of winding zinc tape is often used to suppress the AC interference of pipelines. In this paper, the simulation model of an AC metro line, oil and gas pipeline and zinc strip is built, the electromagnetic induction voltage, ground coupling potential and coating withstand voltage before and after laying zinc strip are calculated, the prevention effect of zinc strip on AC interference is studied, and the operation life under AC interference is analyzed by calculating the corrosion of zinc strip. The study found that the corrosion ability of AC stray current is relatively weak, and the corrosion amount of AC interference to the zinc strip is only 0.3% per year; The AC current density of the pipeline after the zinc tape is laid can be reduced by 87.2%, which shows the zinc tape has a significant suppression effect on the AC interference of the pipeline.

Hu Zhenya, YANG Zhuo, LI Shaoguang, Tan Qinghui, Wang Xu, LI Xiaofeng
Abstract:
The air-conditioning control scheme has a significant impact on the system consumption energy. Relevant studies show that the wind-water linkage control system is a more energy-saving and efficient control scheme than BAS system. At present, a large number of domestic subway stations adopts conventional BAS system, and its transformation into wind-water linkage control requires a lot of cost investment. Without changing hardware configuration, whether the conventional BAS system can improve the energy-saving rate through the optimization of operation strategy and achieve good energy-saving effect is worth studying. The operation of the BAS systems in many domestic subway lines and stations was investigated, analyzed the common conditions in actual operation, and proposed an optimization scheme for the control strategy. A typical Nanning subway station was selected to verify the BAS optimization scheme. Compared and analyzed the operating effects of the BAS optimization scheme and the original BAS scheme. The research results show that the energy saving rate of conventional BAS system after certain optimization and improvement is significantly improved, and good energy-saving effects can be achieved. The research provides an effective path for the operation optimization of conventional BAS system in subway stations.

Abstract:
This paper establishes the constraint value (CV) and leading value (LV) for the ventilation and air-conditioning (VAC) energy consumption of subway stations with platform screen door (PSD) system in various cities in China. Firstly, extensive investigation was conducted on number of passengers, train departure density, station temperature, device efficiency and other information to determine the values of input parameters for the studied cases. Then VAC energy consumption was simulated for a total of 3096 cases (for 43 cities under 36 types of service conditions and 2 kinds of operation management levels). Simulation results show that the CV and LV of annual VAC energy consumption are 0.176-0.859 million kWh and 0.175-0.529 million kWh, respectively. Secondly, linear regression analysis was used to investigate the relationship between CV and LV of annual VAC energy consumption and local climatic conditions. It was found that the R2 of VAC energy consumption and annual average wet-bulb temperature are 0.951 and 0.949 for CV and LV, respectively. Finally, for each city, multiple linear regression analysis was carried out on CV and LV of VAC energy consumption and the three service condition parameters, including number of passengers, train departure density and tunnel length. Based on this, fitting coefficients can be proposed for each city, providing a convenient and effective tool for operators and managers to evaluate VAC energy consumption of subway stations.

Upward Floating Law and Control Measures of Shield Segments in Water Rich and Confined Strata
TAN Zhangtao, LIU Dongfang, SUN Cuihua, LI Fanhua, CHEN Yu
Abstract:
During the subway shield construction, the problem of shield segment lifting is very common. In some cases, it may even lead to the deviation of tunnel axis that exceeds the limit and hence affects the design and planning of the entire line. This paper summarizes and analyzes the phenomenon and characteristics of shield segment lifting in China, pointing out the important role of confined water in inducing segment lifting. Based on investigating a shield tunnel in Beijing metro line 17, we accomplished theoretical analyses and numerical simulations of shield tunneling in a water-rich stratum with confined water. The results show that, if only the effects of grouting buoyancy and stratum rebound are considered, it is difficult to explain the large lifting of segments in this project. When the effect of confined water is further taken into account, a reasonable explanation is obtained. Shortening the coagulating time of synchronous grouting and supplementing secondary grouting are measures specific for dealing with grouting buoyancy, while radial grouting around the tunnel can reduce the segment lifting induced by stratum rebound as well as confined water.

Chen Maolu, Yang Xiaofeng, Zheng Trillion Q, Zhao Zhijun, Xia Xue, Gu Jingda
Abstract:
Zero-resistance converter system (ZRCS) is a power-electronic-based stray current mitigation measure in urban rail transit. As one of key devices, switch unit (SU) transfers thousands of amps traction current from the running rails to return cable. In view of the challenges of loss and reliability for the IGBT-based SU, this paper employs silicon controlled rectifier switch unit (SCR-SU) in ZRCS. However, SCR-SU faces the turning off problem. Based on analysis of SCR-SU turn-off mechanism, a SCR-SU turn-off strategy with negative resistance converter from system aspect is proposed. Simulation and experimental results indicate that the ZRCS with SCR-SU can realize SCR-SU’s turning off by adopting the proposed SCR-SU turn-off strategy. With its normal operation, ZRCS with SCR-SU can effectively reduce the stray current in urban rail transit system, and has a good application prospect.

Optimal Distribution of Switch Unit in Zero-resistance Converter System
Abstract:
Zero-resistance converter system(ZRCS) transfers the rail current from returning point to return cable, then mitigate the rail potential and stray current of urban rail transit from the source. As one of the key devices, switch unit(SU) influence the position of returning equi-point in ZRCS, and the number and distribution of SUs affect the distribution of rail potential and stray current directly. In the actual train operation, the train current under traction and braking conditions are much larger than that under constant speed conditions, resulting in larger rail potential correspondingly. By changing the SUs distribution, rail potential of this part can be reduced and the comprehensive mitigation performance of ZRCS can be improved. Therefore, based on analysis of the role of SU, a method for the SUs distribution optimization is proposed. By comparing the mitigation performance under different SUs distribution, the optimal SUs distribution is obtained. Simulation results indicate that the proposed optimization method can improve the mitigation performance of ZRCS.

WANG Jing, WANG Jun, LIU Jianfeng, YANG Guanhua, DING Yi
Abstract:
The station super-peak coefficient is one of the key indicators reflecting the characteristics of the station's peak passenger flow, and it is an important basis for the design of urban rail transit facilities. Discriminating the concept of the super-peak factor, the super-peak factor of a station should be the ratio of the maximum 20-minute passenger flow hourly equivalent during the peak hour of the station to the passenger flow entering and leaving the station during the peak hour. Then this paper comprehensively analyzes the super-peak coefficient of each station of Beijing urban rail transit, and puts forward the main influencing factors of the super-peak coefficient of rail transit stations. The results show that about 74% of urban rail transit stations have super peak coefficients in the recommended range of 1.1-1.4, and another 26% of stations have super peak coefficients in the range of 1.0-1.1, which is lower than the recommended value. The nature of the land around the station, the station entry and exit passenger volume during peak hours, and the passenger flow control measures (metro current limit) of the station all have an impact on the value of the super peak coefficient of the station. It is more likely that the over-peak coefficient of employment oriented station takes a larger value; the station with small passenger flow during peak hours tends to have a large over-peak coefficient, while the super-peak coefficient of ultra large peak passenger flow scale station generally does not exceed 1.2. In addition, the current limit of rail transit stations will reduce its super peak coefficient.

Intelligent Optimal Control Method of Metro Multi-Converter Based on Goose Communication
Abstract:
At present, each converter of traction substation in the metro line operates independently, which cannot realize real-time information interaction, precise adjustment and coordinated control, which increases the loss of the system network and reduces the system security performance. In order to solve this problem, the intelligent optimal control method of metro multi-converter based on Goose communication is proposed. The hierarchical control strategy for multi-converter is built based on the Goose communication network. Taking the minimum network loss and the minimum of the rail potential amplitude as the goals, a dual-objective optimization control algorithm for multi-converters based on the NSGA-II algorithm is proposed. A dynamic power flow simulation platform of the traction power supply system in metro line is built for simulation verification. The results show that the intelligent optimal control method of multi-converter based on Goose can realize the dynamic management and coordinated control of multi-converter, which will reduce the network loss and rail potential. Compared with the traditional optimization control without communication, the intelligent optimal control method of multi-converter can optimize the output characteristics of converters in real time, and realize the goal of energy-saving and safe operation.

YU Haipeng, BAO Ming, LIU Shuai, ZHANG Dongliang
Abstract:
The reflux safety of DC traction power supply system in urban rail transit has gradually become one of the current research focuses. The shield doors that are equipotential with the running rails will affect the distribution of reflux safety parameters due to the unsatisfactory insulation. Aiming at the influence of the insulation status of the shield doors on the reflux safety parameters, a simulation model of multi-train dynamic power flow is established, and simulations are carried out based on the data of Wuxi Metro Line 2. The results show that the weak insulation status of the shield doors will result in a significant increase in the reflux safety parameters, threatening the safety of equipment and personnel. When the insulation of the two shield doors is weak, a leakage loop of stray current will be formed, which will aggravate the abnormal increase of the reflux safety parameters. The lower the insulation resistance of the shield doors, the lower the amplitude of the rail potential, but the higher the stray current. In addition, when the insulation of multiple shield doors is weak, the reflux safety parameters will increase sharply, posing a serious threat to the safety of equipment, passengers and staff.

Abstract:
In order to solve the problem of the lack or inaccuracy of the transfer station classification standard, this paper analyzes the influencing factors of the transfer station classification from three dimensions of land use, location, and passenger flow, and proposes a calculation method for classification indicators. Combined with the K-Means clustering algorithm, a multi-factor classification method of transfer station is constructed. and the transfer station of Nanjing Metro was applied to carry out case analysis. The results show that:compared with the single factor (land only, location only, and passenger flow only) clustering method, the multi-factor clustering method has obvious advantages in classification uniformity, clustering distance, and actual classification effect. Combining the classification results, it is proposed that the transfer stations of Nanjing Metro should be classified into five categories: integrated hub type, public center type, residential and life type, industrial office type and peripheral connection type, and analyzed the threshold characteristics and value recommendations of the different elements of the transfer station. The research results of this paper can provide important reference for subway transfer station planning and design in the future.

Abstract:
How to build a Metro fire-fighting wireless communication system under the new standard is the key research content of the urban transit industry. Taking the interchange station of Xi"an Metro Line 8 as the starting point and combining the current status, this paper proposes a design scheme of fire-fighting wireless communication system suitable for different types of interchange stations responded to the ePDT series of specifications and standards officially released by the Ministry of Emergency management.

Abstract:
In view of the existing urban rail transit short-term traffic forecasting a single model may predict instability problems, this paper puts forward a kind of based on singular spectrum analysis (SSA), and by combining support vector regression (SVR) forecasting model. The combined model uses singular spectrum analysis (SSA) to decompose and reconstruct the original time series passenger flow data of rail transit, and sort the reconstructed time series by singular values from large to small to obtain the main information containing the original time series data. The reconstructed sequence of the components uses the reconstructed time series as the input of the support vector regression model (SVR), and finally the short-term inbound passenger flow prediction of each station is carried out. This paper collects the urban rail transit passenger flow data of the entire network in Beijing in November 2015, and validates and compares the proposed short-term passenger flow prediction model. The results show that the prediction accuracy of the combined model proposed in this paper is higher and more stable than ARIMA model, SVR model, CNN-LSTM model and T-GCN model, which has a certain practical significance.

Abstract:
Taking the Hangzhou subway station network as an example, using complex network and spatial pattern analysis methods to study the temporal and spatial characteristics of urban rail transit advantageous areas. It is of great significance for understanding the distribution of subway passenger flow and the evolution of urban patterns. The results show that: ①The passenger flow of subway stations has a significant positive correlation with the centrality index of subway stations, and the station centrality index can partially predict the passenger flow of stations. ②With the expansion of the subway network, the stations with centrality advantages are not static, and the stations with centrality advantages often have the characteristics of large subway passenger flow. ③In general, there is a trend of low in east, west, south and north, and high in the central area. The western area of the city (Hangzhou West Railway Station and the Future Science and Technology City) will become an important development area of Hangzhou. The site network at each stage presents significant high-value agglomeration characteristics in space. For the betweenness, the high-value agglomeration area is always closely connected with two areas (the intersection of Fengqi Road and Yan'an Road, and the East Railway Station area). For the closeness, the intersection of Fengqi Road and Yan'an Road is the source point of the high-value cluster area, and it shows a trend of continuous expansion in all directions. The above-mentioned area is highly consistent with the current station area with the highest passenger flow of Hangzhou Metro.

Analysis of the Influence of Soil Structure on Stray Current Distribution in Urban Rail Transit
ZHOU Qi, LIN Sheng, ZOU Quande, LI Yuda
Abstract:
The harm of stray current is becoming more and more prominent with the rapid development of urban rail transit. The distribution of stray current is affected by many factors, such as train operating conditions, length of power supply section, rail transition resistance and soil structure. Studying the influencing factors of stray current is the basis of preventing stray current. In order to study the influence of soil structure on the distribution of stray current in urban rail transit, a stray current simulation model with multi-layer soil structure was constructed in this paper. Based on the simulation model, the effects of resistivity and soil thickness in uniform soil and layered soil on stray current distribution were analyzed. The simulation results show that the soil structure will affect the current distribution in the drainage network, auxiliary drainage and the earth, but has little effect on the rail potential and the total stray current distribution along the line. In addition, in the layered soil structure, the smaller the thickness of the first layer of soil or the greater the resistivity, the less stray current flows to the earth.

Study on optimization of smoke control strategy for access tunnels of Zhengzhou metro line 10
XIA Sanxian, WANG Yan, MENG Xin, ZHANG Xiaowei, HU Fan, XIA Yanling
Abstract:
Jet fans are often used to increase longitudinal ventilation velocity in the smoke control system of subway access tunnels. The cost of power distribution system of jet fan is much higher than that of jet fan in the smoke control system of subway access tunnels. Tunnel ventilation velocity and smoke exhaust effect for five smoke control strategies for the subway access tunnel of Zhengzhou metro line 10 were investigated by using the FDS numerical simulation method. The economic analysis of five smoke control strategies have also been carried out. Results of numerical simulation show that tunnel ventilation velocity below 2m/s can meet the requirements of smoke control in the access tunnel which is a non-passenger section tunnel. Four 60m3/s emergency fans can basically meet the needs of tunnel smoke exhaust for the subway access tunnels in the smoke control system without jet fans at access tunnel portals. The smoke control system without jet fans at access tunnel portals can prevent smoke threaten the safety of station operation. The short smoke back-layering length will not affect the safe evacuation of metro train drivers. If the installation conditions permit, a group of jet fans are recommended to be installed at the station side of the subway access tunnels, which can improve the tunnel ventilation velocity and smoke exhaust effect. in order to solve the problem of smoke retention in station tunnel, the two emergency fans at the subway station side of access tunnels is proposed to be started 30 seconds later than the other fans.

Research on the application of occluding pile water-stop curtain in PBA undercut tunnel
Abstract:
The long construction period and the heavy precipitation of the underground excavation project in urban rail transit have a significant impact on protecting urban groundwater resources. Therefore, the cities strictly control the underground water reduction in subway projects by formulating related policies. The waterproof curtain of plastic concrete and reinforced concrete occlusive pile has the advantages of high strength, strong anti-seepage and controllable cost. It has long-term application value in subway waterproof and drainage engineering. This work focuses on water-proof curtain test project of occlusion pile in an underground tunnel in Beijing Metro. In order to further reduce groundwater discharge and effectively protect groundwater resources, the technical feasibility of water-proof curtain of plastic concrete and reinforced concrete occlusion pile under the limited space of the PBA undercut tunnel was analysed and verified. Moreover, the sealing effect of occlusive pile curtain is verified by means of analytical method, numerical simulation and pumping test. The results indicate that the permeability coefficient of occlusal pile is 1.88×10-6cm/s, in agreement with the design requirements. The water-proofing effect of occlusive pile is obvious, and the stable water inflow is reduced from 2129 m3/d to 6.8 m3/d. The verticality of most piles could achieve the control value. There is no distinct difference in the water level elevation of external observation well and no water seepage in the excavation. The research results verify that the technical scheme and construction technology meet the criterion of the project construction, which can provide reference for the design and construction of similar projects in the future.

YAN Ran, ZHANG Chun, ZHENG Hao
Abstract:
In order to quantify the nonlinear influences of the built environment and accessibility on rail transit ridership, based on Hefei rail transit station ridership, a gradient boosting decision tree model is applied to investigate the nonlinear influences and threshold effect of the built environment on ridership by considering the accessibility of the rail transit network and the walkability of the station area. The results show that on the basis of controlling accessibility, the station-area built environment is still the most important factor affecting the ridership of rail transit station, with an impact of about 63%-65%. The built environment and accessibility variables all exhibit non-linear effects and threshold effects on rail transit ridership. High pedestrian accessibility, high density and mixed land use have a decisive influence on the ridership of rail station.

Rail Potential Hardware Dynamic Emulator ConsideringTrain Operating Condition
Wang Shuanghui, Yang Xiaofeng, Wang Huikang, Zheng Trillion Q.
Abstract:
In view of the field verification challenges of rail potential and stray current mitigation measures, the rail potential hardware dynamic emulator (RPHDE) has received extensive attention in recent years. However, the existing RPHDEs generally consider the rail longitudinal resistance by ignoring the influence of train operation conditions and rail-to-earth resistance, so it cannot accurately reproduce the dynamic rail potential distribution along the line. Therefore, a novel RPHDE considering the train operating condition is proposed. This paper firstly analysis the influence of train operating conditions on rail potential with the DC traction power supply system model. Then based on dynamic characteristics analysis of the catenary, running rails and rail-to-earth resistance, the operation principles and mathematical model of proposed RPHDE are studied in detail. Moreover, the corresponding control strategies of RPHDE by considering the train operating condition is also proposed. Finally, the simulation and experimental results verify the correctness of the abovementioned theorical analysis and control strategies.

Study on The Influence of Section Occupancy Status on Interlocking System
Abstract:
CBTC, a communication-based train control system, is widely used in urban rail transit, and become a new standard of urban rail transit signal system. Compared with previous signal systems, CBTC has a significant advantage of shorter train tracking interval, which is closely related to the way in which the signal system divides the track block. Physical extents being subdivided into several shorter logical extents makes the same physical segments accommodate more trains in operation. However, this leads to a new problem, the need to deal with two kinds of Section Occupancy status s which are from two different information sources. And this two information may be inconsistent under certain circumstances, which makes signal fail to close or the route fail to be unlocked, affecting the operation efficiency. In order to get a more reliable Section Occupancy status , this paper discusses the cause of the two block states information inconsistence from the failure occupation of the axle counter, the train positioning error, and the system time delay, analyses the approach and problems when dealing with block states in a specific scenario, puts forward adding the train across signal information or using the judgment strategy of instant occupation and delay clearing on the basis of block fusion, which not only ensures the safety and reliability of the signal system, but also improves the efficiency of train operation.

Study on the Rationality of Setting Artificial Grounding Grid above the Roof of Underground Station Structure
CHEN Xia, HE Zhixin, ZHOU Dan, DENG Shu, YA Shangsong, WANG Wei
Abstract:
In order to study the rationality and feasibility of setting artificial grounding grid above the top plate of underground station structure, firstly, the grounding structure of underground station is described, the grounding grid model of underground station is established by using CDEGS software, and the difference of power frequency grounding resistance between the grounding grid below the bottom plate of station structure and above the top plate of station structure is compared. The difference of resistance between them is 60% ~ 70%, The results show that the soil resistivity and soil thickness play an important role in the grounding resistance, and the grid size and conductor diameter of the grounding grid have little effect on the resistance. If 1 Ω is taken as the measurement index of grounding grid resistance value of underground station, in most cases, the grounding grid is set above the top plate of station structure, which can better limit the power frequency grounding resistance value within 1 Ω, and the calculation result of grounding resistance value is in the range of 0.7 Ω ~ 0.8 Ω as a whole. Finally, the safety indexes such as contact voltage and step voltage on the square surface of the grounding grid are studied. The results show that when a serious short-circuit grounding fault occurs, setting the grounding grid above the top plate of the station structure will not cause the contact voltage and step voltage above the surface to exceed the standard, and has a high safety factor, It is proved that it is feasible and reasonable to set up artificial grounding grid above the roof of underground station structure. The research results have high engineering practice reference significance and strong application value.

During the receiving period, the earth pressure gradually decreased from 0.8~1.2bar of the 15th ring to 0bar, the synchronous grouting amount was appropriately increased to 1.25 times of the theoretical value, and the advance speed was 5.1mm/min. When shield approaching the 2nd ring of the retaining pile, the thrust increased from 9000kN to 20000kN, and during the grinding pile period, the thrust was between 9000kN and 14000kN, and the risk was controllable. The settlement mainly occurred in two stages including the stage of cutter head coming out of the tunnel and the stage of shield tail coming out of the tunnel. The settlement values were in the range of -0.9mm~-1.5mm and -4.0mm~-4.8mm respectively. The influence of shield tail coming out of the tunnel was greater than that of cutter head coming out the tunnel.

Hu Songsong, Chen Gong, Li Pandao
Abstract:
Since the rail transit viaduct based on friction pendulum seismic isolation bearings tends to have a large displacement during earthquakes, thus making adjacent spans prone to potential collision due to the phase difference, it is necessary to explore how to reduce the relative displacement of beam ends while obtaining a high isolation rate, to avoid the collision of adjacent span structures. This paper, based on the viaduct on the Pinggu line of Beijing rail transit service, discusses the effects of seismic isolation design in different seismic peak acceleration areas and its economic advantages compared with ductile seismic design, derives the calculation formula of structural system period, and proposes the design method for width of expansion joint at beam ends. An analysis herein shows that, in the area of 0.2g and 0.3g peak acceleration, the isolation rate of piers remains almost the same and the seismic isolation design in the peak acceleration area demonstrates a convincing cost-effectiveness, and that the closer the structural system period of adjacent span systems are, the smaller the relative displacement is for beam ends.

Abstract:
The development of virtual coupling technology offers the possibility to improve the traditional skip-stop operation organization in urban rail transit, which is expected to alleviate the problems of increased travel time of slow trains and loss of line passing capacity in the traditional operation organization.

Early-Stage Study on Urban Rail Transit Network Planning Revision
Abstract:
The theoretical and practical research on using the extra capacity of rail transit passenger lines to provide freight services is in the ascendant, which can be divided into two modes: adding dedicated freight trains into passenger trains timetable and using the residual space on passenger trains to fix freight transportation. At present, the theoretical research mostly focuses on the optimization of mixed passenger and freight transportation scheme and timetable, and the practices mostly concern how to fix small freight demand using the residual space on passenger trains. Based on the empirical cases of Japan's North Vietnam express line, high-speed rail express, Taoyuan airport MRT and German parcel intercity (PIC), this paper summarizes the characteristics of two transportation organization modes. The organizational scheme of using the residual space on passenger trains to fix freight transportation is mainly used to meet the scattered freight demand. When using the carriage space, necessary fixed facilities shall be provided to ensure safety. Separation of transportation and loading can improve the loading and unloading efficiency and reduce the interference to passenger transport operations. In the case of adding dedicated freight trains into passenger trains timetable, the speed of the freight trains should be close to the adopted passenger train speed, and the transport process organized at night can ensure timeliness.

A Model Test Study on Natural Ventilation Characteristic of Subway Station
Abstract:
As an energy-saving measure, natural ventilation has been widely used in civil buildings, and its application prospect and effect in subway engineering are worthy of further study. Taking Shapingba Station of Chongqing Metro Line 1 as the prototype, the natural ventilation scale of the subway station under different working conditions is tested by building a natural ventilation model test platform of the subway station and simulating several typical working conditions in the public area. The test results show that hot pressing is one of the main driving forces of natural ventilation of the subway station, and the height difference between the subway exits has limited influence on it. The natural ventilation path is mainly composed of the subway exit, the station hall layer, and the subway exit, and the scale of natural ventilation flowing through the platform layer is small. Appropriately increasing the number of exits can increase natural ventilation and effectively promote natural ventilation efficiency. According to the test results, the corresponding design and operation suggestions are put forward, and the feasibility basis for making full use of natural wind energy saving in non-air conditioning seasons is put forward.

Abstract:
With the construction of a large number of underground projects in water rich areas, the environmental problems of the changes of groundwater seepage conditions caused by underground engineering are becoming increasingly prominent. In this paper, the groundwater seepage when the subway station has not been built has been analyzed based on the one-dimensional seepage theory. Combined with the mirror image principle and superposition principle, meanwhile, the influence mechanism of the subway station on the groundwater seepage has been analyzed also, and the analytical formula of backwater height and groundwater flow due to the barrier effect of subway station was obtained. By the theoretical formula obtained in this paper, the backwater height and groundwater flow of of a subway station in Jinan nvcaused by the blocking effect of the station was analyzed, and the recommended value of anti floating water level considering the backwater was put forward. According to the analysis in this paper, the backwater height caused by the blocking effect of station structure is related to the influence radius of aquifer and hydraulic gradient. In practice, the possible backwater height after the completion of the subway station should be paid more attention to by the engineering personnel when encountering a strong permeable aquifer with a certain hydraulic gradient.

Abstract:
In view of the urban rail transit safety problems caused by limited transport capacity for passenger demand in peak period, it is necessary to adopt passenger flow control strategy to adjust the inbound passenger flow and alleviate station congestion. In this paper, a multi-station cooperative control model based on reinforcement learning deep-q network is proposed to optimize the arrival number of each station in a certain period of time. The goal is to minimize the comprehensive benefits of platform overrun, average waiting time and passenger flow control intensity. Taking Beijing Metro Batong line as an example, the simulation results verify the effectiveness of the method. The simulation results show that the model can effectively reduce the waiting time of passengers and improve the travel efficiency of passengers under the condition of low passenger flow control intensity. The method is helpful to alleviate the passenger congestion at the station without reducing the travel efficiency of passengers.

Study About Induced Voltage on Overhead Catenary Line in Adjacent Tunnel of Rail Transit
Abstract:
Some rail transit system in China adopts the power frequency single-phase AC system to improve the running speed and transportation capacity of trains. When the traction power supply system fails, the one-side power outage emergency repair scheme may be adopted. If the induction voltage on the catenary is too high, it will cause harm to maintenance personnel. In this paper, a simulation model of subway tunnel was built based on the design data of a subway. The induced voltage on the overhead catenary line is obtained When it is cut off for maintenance, and the other side of the line is in normal operation. Influences of the traction current, the distance between the tunnels and other factors on the induced voltage are also gotten. It is found that the inductive voltage on the overhead catenary line will exceed the safety level when the single-ended grounding mode is adopted. If the double-ended grounding mode is adopted, it will be reduced below the safety limit. According to the above research results, proposes were given in this paper that when the subway unilateral power outage maintenance operation is adopted in the AC power supply system, the both ends of the maintenance interval must be grounded. The conclusion of this paper can be used as a reference for the subway management department to formulate safety measures.

Zhang Yanqin, Di Honggui, Xu Yonggang
Abstract:
Based on advanced regional geological information and tunnel settlement data, a long-term settlement prediction model of shield tunnel using machine learning method was proposed. The model was demonstrated by a case study of Nanjing Metro Line 2 shield tunnel. The results show that the prediction model can analyze and obtain the main influencing factors of long-term tunnel settlement and find the best supervised learning algorithm and optimal parameters. Among the different supervised learning algorithms, both the kernel support vector machine (KSVM) algorithm and the artificial neural network (ANN) algorithm can achieve high accuracy, but require careful parameters adjustment to improve the prediction accuracy. Using the ANN algorithm as supervised learning algorithm and after parameters adjusting, the final prediction accuracy of the model can reach 0.86 and the average accuracy of tenfold cross-validation is 0.82.

Analysing the Influence of Train Operation Disturbance in Urban Rail Transit Based on Historical Data
Abstract:
The process of train operation is affected by many disturbance factors, which may cause train delay and affect passengers. In order to identify the disturbance and estimate the influence, a novel approach based on historical data of urban rail transit is proposed. According to the emergency disturbance and its related multi-source data, such as train operation record and automatic fare collection data, the generation and influence law of the disturbance were analyzed. The main contents include the classification, causes and occurrence law of the disturbance, as well as the duration, spatial range and relative passenger flow rate under the disturbance. The case study of a city shows that: disturbance events were more likely to occur in peak hours, and vehicle failure was the most common cause. More than half of the disturbance events could be eliminated in 30 minutes. The delay caused by disturbance mainly occurred on the follow-up trains and at the stations in front of the occurrence location. The passenger flows decreased in the first half hour, then increased or even exceeded the normal standard ones, which coincided with each other about two hours.

YAO ZhenKang, GAO Guofei, ZHENG Han, HUANG Zhaocha
Abstract:
In the process of rail transit operation management, the characteristics and rules of time distribution of passenger flow between different stations directly determine the passenger flow organization scheme. The clarification of inter-station passenger flow time distribution types is beneficial to the reasonable configuration of passenger flow organization scheme. In this paper, we firstly analyze the classification characteristics of inter-station passenger flow from three perspectives of time, space and structure, and compress the search space of classification by spectral clustering method to achieve more accurate type classification. The classification results of different methods are compared using Silhouette Coefficient and Davies-Bouldin Index, and it is demonstrated that the proposed spectral clustering method has better classification results compared with other methods such as k-means. Taking Suzhou Metro 2020 data as an example, seven types of inter-station passenger flow time distribution are found by the proposed method, and the results can be applied to areas such as prediction model training.

Discussion on IPLV of Water Chillers Capacity in Underground Railway Stations
Abstract:
Chillers in the current subway environment control system are under partial load most of the time from a large amount of test data. This paper aims to revise the formula of the integrated part load value (IPLV) used to judge the comprehensive performance of the subway station chiller under partial load. This paper used a method of calculating the load of subway stations hourly throughout the year to obtain the hourly load curve in Beijing, shanghai and Guangzhou. Load rate sections in three cities were counted from the load duration curve. The result shows that partial load accounts for a high proportion in subway station air-conditioning season. The load rate below 25% accounts for nearly 1/3 of operating time, and the load rate below 50% accounts for more than 50%. Under the condition of setting up 2 chillers, the proportion of low load rate decreases, but is still higher than the group standard value. The result is instructive for subway air-conditioning system equipment selection and energy saving.

WU Yue, LING Zhujun, YE Xiaofeng
Abstract:
Aiming at the problem of safe and reliable operation of three-phase quasi-Z-source inverters, a fast and practical IGBT open-circuit fault diagnosis method of quasi-Z-source inverters is proposed. The new IGBT open circuit fault diagnosis is realized based on the characteristics of the Z-source inverter. The main method is to observe the influence of the change of the shoot-through state before and after the fault on the system variables during the switching period to identify the fault. The implementation is divided into two consecutive stages, one is IGBT open-circuit fault detection and location, the second is to activate the redundant bridge arm to complete the fault-tolerant operation. The tests were carried out with a low-voltage prototype of a three-phase quasi-Z-source inverter. The experimental results verified that the designed IGBT open-circuit fault diagnosis scheme can quickly detect IGBT faults, and complete the system reconstruction within 0.5ms to achieve fault-tolerant operation. The use of the proposed Z-source inverter IGBT open-circuit fault diagnosis scheme in the rail transit system can ensure the reliable operation of the power supply system.

Abstract:
The underground rail transit system is an important part of the urban lifeline project. Among them, the transfer subway station is large in scale with large passenger flow, and the structure of it is complex. Its seismic performance is very worthy of attention. Based on the structure of a T-shaped transfer station, a three-dimensional dynamic time-history analysis model of the stratum-structure was established to simulate the dynamic response of the soil-T-shaped transfer station structure system under the action of earthquake loads. The displacement response law of the T-shaped transfer station structure under the action was analyzed. The calculation results show that the maximum displacement of the T-shaped transfer station structure and the maximum top-bottom displacement difference appear on the roof of the three-story line station. The minimum value of the structural displacement occurs at the T-shaped intersection of the two-line station. The research results of the thesis have certain reference significance for the seismic design and analysis of T-shaped transfer stations.

Wang Zhiheng, Li Xiaozhao, Pan Jinli, Lu Minghao, Zhou Shuming, Zhang Changwei
Abstract:
38 cities that has been opened the subway(by the end of 2019)were selected as the research samples to analyze the status quo of the indicators affecting the declaration of subway, such as GDP, urban resident population, general public financial budget revenue and annual average daily passenger intensity. In addition, the correlation between the subway construction index and the above four socio-economic indicators is analyzed respectively from the horizontal and vertical perspectives. The results show that financial resources and subway operation capacity of some cities are still insufficient, so the scale and pace of subway construction should be controlled reasonably. The density of subway in different cities has a strong linear correlation with its GDP and general public financial budget income. However, taking Beijing as an example, the study finds that the subway construction index in the same city at different periods has a high linear correlation with its GDP, urban resident population and general public financial budget income, and the established multiple linear regression model conforms to this law with a fitting degree of over 99%. The research will provide some reference for each city that should reasonably control the subway construction progress according to their own social and economic level, and promoting the orderly development of urban rail transit.

This paper analyzes the research background, space design, natural light introduction, fine design scheme and actual operation effect of the station construction through the design cases of four "shallow buried and open cut" rail transit stations which have been built and put into operation. Based on the in-depth study on the site applicability, building energy saving, space effect and other aspects of the station type, it is proposed that the station should be set under the roadside green space in combination with the construction of municipal green belt, so as to reduce the relocation of municipal roads and existing pipelines caused by subway construction. Combined with the characteristics of "open excavation" of station civil structure construction, the buried depth of station structure can be reduced, and the investment can be saved At the same time, it improves the height of the station hall, creates a tall and comfortable rear space, and sets the roof skylight to form the natural lighting and ventilation effect of the station hall, which reduces the investment of the station equipment system and the later operation and maintenance cost. This innovative design idea of green energy saving has been applied in the construction of domestic rail transit. It not only realizes the advantages and applicability of "shallow burying" of the station, achieves the effect of operation economy and energy saving of equipment, but also creates a comfortable and healthy riding environment, which provides innovative ideas for the later design of rail transit station.

Analysis of harmonic Resonance of Urban Transit Power Supply System
Abstract:
When the Urban transit power supply system (UTPSS) operates in the power supply mode supported by only one main substation, the power supply cable is long. It can result in the harmonic parameter matching between the ground-to-ground capacitance of the cable and the main transformer leakage inductance which may amplify the background harmonics in the system. Based on a UTPSS resonant accident occurred during the commissioning of the subway of Line 1 in a city, this paper builds a resonant circuit model and analyzes the reason of the harmonic resonance of this UTPSS. More specifically, the resonance is originally generated by 11th background harmonic and amplified by the parallel circuit consisting of the ground-to-ground capacitance of the cable and the main transformer leakage inductance. The analysis result is consistent with the field recorded data. Meanwhile, this paper puts forward several measures to suppress resonance of the UTPSS in subway: calculate the harmonic impedance parameters in the preliminary engineering design stage, strictly limit background harmonics to meet requirements, evaluate converter manufacturing technique, and confirm the filter functions of SVG.

Research on Resilience Evaluation Method for Fully Automatic Operation system Based on Monte Carlo Simulation
Abstract:
In order to avoid the one sidedness of resilience evaluation for automatic operation system in single fault scenario, Monte Carlo simulation method is used to simulate the randomness of system disturbance and performance degradation, and provide a probability based resilience evaluation method for automatic operation system. Taking Yanfang line as an example, the fault data of signal and integrated supervisory control systems in the past three years are counted, and the fault frequency and fault recovery time distribution of each equipment are calculated. According to the failure consequence of the equipment, the performance degradation of the equipment is classified, and according to the failure data, the probability of each performance degradation level is counted. The "virtual value of state" is set for each performance level to quantify. The weight of the output data stream of the device is the same as the "virtual value of state" of the device. The fluctuation of the system performance is represented by the change of the weight of the total data stream of the system. Using the "Zobel" resilience quantization method, after 100000 simulation, the estimated value of the system resilience is 0.9893. At the same time, 100000 perturbation simulations were carried out for each device, and the resilience probability cumulative distribution of the system for each device was obtained. The results show that the resilience distribution of the system is wide when CI, ATP and ZC are disturbed, and the system resilience may appear low value when the switch machine and track circuit are disturbed, the system resilience is relatively stable, and the system resilience remains above 0.97.

LIU Haijun, WU Yang, PENG Xingzhi, GUO Hang
Abstract:
Nowadays, the research on the thermal environment of subway carriage often sets the boundary of the human body to a constant heat flow, which cannot reflect the interaction between human thermal regulation and the environment, and it is difficult to accurately evaluate the thermal comfort of the carriage environment. In order to effectively analyze the thermal comfort of the carriage environment, a 57 multi-node human thermal regulation model coupled with the carriage thermal environment is proposed to simulate the thermal comfort of the carriage environment of Beijing Metro Line 15. In addition, this method is used to study the thermal environment and passenger thermal comfort in the air-supply grille carriage of the three working conditions, and it is concluded that the temperature and speed in the carriage of the working condition 1 are evenly distributed, and the passengers have better thermal comfort. Compared with the constant thermal human body boundary conditions, this method can more comprehensively analyze the thermal comfort of passengers, and has certain reference significance for improving the actual thermal environment in the carriage.

Research on MIMO characteristics of keyhole effect in subway tunnel
Abstract:
This paper studies the influence of keyhole effect on multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO) performance by using double leaky coaxial cables (LCXs) and a single LCX in tunnel scenario. The keyhole effect in the slots of LCX was theoretically studied. Then, a 2×2 MIMO measurement campaign using LCXs at 1.8 GHz in a rectangle tunnel and an arched tunnel were carried out. The measured results reveal that the keyhole effect does not exist in double LCXs case, and meanwhile the keyhole probability in single LCX case is also limited. Finally, the results of channel capacity in double LCXs case and single LCX case are provided. These results can provide a prospective guidance for employing MIMO technology in tunnels.

Study on control limit value of cross section deformation of shield tunnel structures with staggered joints
She Caigao, Zhang Cun, Wang Huaidong, Tian Zhiyao
Abstract:
Excessive deformation and serious diseases have occurred on some shield tunnel structures in soft soil area. These shield tunnel structures in service with defects will still be in service for a long time, and they will still face various adverse service environments in the subsequent service period. Therefore, it is necessary to put forward the control limit of shield tunnel structure deformation, which can provide judgment and decision-making basis for the maintenance and operation of the structure in time when the structural deformation of the tunnel develops further. Based on the background of three subway sections in Nanjing, this paper explores the correlation between cross-sectional convergence deformation and various diseases of staggered seam assembled shield tunnel by means of measured data analysis and three-dimensional refined finite element simulation. The two methods verify and complement each other. The results show that the service performance of tunnel structure is good when the convergence deformation is less than 30 mm. The water leakage and cracks appear and the bolts begin to yield when the convergence deformation is 30-60 mm. The disease intensifies and the segment is damaged when reaches 60-80 mm., The first bolt reaches the tensile limit state and the safety is greatly threatened when reaches 80-100 mm. The whole ring structure is on the verge of yield when more than 100 m. On the basis of structural performance degradation characteristics the control limit of cross section deformation of shield tunnel is proposed.

SUN Xibo, ZHONG Yi, WAN Xiaofei, HAN Yafei, ZHANG Xiaowei
Abstract:
The deformation and internal force of shield tunnel in saturated sandy soil layer may be changed due to liquefaction, which may lead to tunnel failure. However, the influence of liquefied strata on overlapped tunnel may be aggravated by the interaction between structures.Based on engineering example, a three-dimensional model was established by using the software Midas GTS to analyze horizontal and vertical seismic dynamic time history of the tunnel with liquefiable soil. It analyzed the different influences of different positions and uneven distribution of liquefied strata on the tunnel. The internal force and deformation of the tunnel structure in liquefiable and non liquefiable conditions were compared. The treatment effect of stratum reinforcement on liquefied stratum is studied. The internal force and deformation of the tunnel in liquefiable condition are increased to a certain extent. It cause a great impact when the liquefied strata are located at the bottom of the tunnel, or it is not uniform. The vertical seismic action mainly affects the vertical deformation of the tunnel. it is better to use radial grouting to reinforce the ground when the liquefaction degree is moderate.

Research on the Effect of Stiffness Change of Vibration-absorbing Pad on the Vibration and Structural Noise of U-shaped Girder Bridge
HU Chuan, ZHONG Rui, WU Xue, KONG Xiaoyu
Abstract:
In order to study the effect of the vertical stiffness of the isolation damping pad on the vibration and noise of the U-beam bridge,a vehicle-track-bridge rigid-flexible coupling based on the Timoshenko beam model was established based on the multi-body dynamics and finite element joint simulation principle. The dynamic model and the theoretical calculation results ware compared with the previous literature to verify the validity of the model. The model was used to calculate the vibration and noise of the bridge system when the damping pads had different vertical stiffness values. The results show that with the increase of the vertical stiffness of the isolated damping pad, the vibration response of the rail and rail plate decreases, while the vibration response of the bridge structure is magnified, and the vibration amplitude of the track structure and U-shaped bridge changes obviously, and then gradually tends to smooth. The increase of vertical stiffness of isolated damping pad will increase the secondary noise of bridge structure, so the damping pad with smaller stiffness should be selected to suppress the secondary noise of U-shaped beam bridge, but too small vertical stiffness may amplify the structural noise in the low frequency area within 40Hz. Based on the calculation results of vibration and structural noise of U-shaped beam bridge system, taking into account the engineering cost, the vertical stiffness of isolated damping pad used in viaduct structure is 0.067N/mm3.

Research on Capacity Loss in the Mode of Express/Slow Urban Rail Transit Based on Train Evenness
Abstract:
As one of the main methods to meet the needs of rapid and efficient of urban rail lines, the express/slow train organization mode was very important. But the calculation principle and formula about system capacity loss had some errors. In order to improve the calculation accuracy and application range, the corresponding relationship between departure uniformity and capacity loss was described by introducing uniformity parameter. The capacity loss formula under the mode of slow and fast had summarized and optimized with the premise of uniformity. The accuracy and reliability of the formula were verified by running chart. The main conclusions are as follows:(1)The existing capacity loss formula is based on the principle of capacity maximization, and the uniformity of express trains is not considered in the calculation process, which is quite different from the actual layout results;(2)When the number of fast trains (or slow trains) is constant, the system capacity decreases first and then increases with the evenness; when the evenness is constant, the system capacity decreases with the fast trains (or slow trains) increase;(3)The system capacity loss formula is put forward when the slow train is dominant and the fast train is dominant with the premise of evenness;(4)The optimized capacity loss formula significantly improves the calculation accuracy and application range, which can provide reference for related projects.

HUANG Li, LI Xiaofeng, SU Ziyi
Abstract:
With the continuous expansion of subway scale and energy consumption, energy-saving of ventilation and air-conditioning (VAC) systems in subway stations has gradually become a research focus. In this paper, influential parameters of the VAC energy model in subway stations are identified and ranked, using three commonly-used sensitivity analysis methods (regression-based, screening-based and variance-based). Results show that the top 25% ranked parameters identified by the three methods are the same, but the orders are different. Among the three sensitivity analysis methods, the rankings of variance- and screening-based method are basically the same, whereas the ranking of regression-based method is quite different from the previous two. Besides, the regression method is the most efficiency one in consideration of the computational cost, the calculation time of variance- and screening-based method are 25 times and 3 times, respectively. By comparison, it can be concluded that the screening-based method performs best in consideration of the parameter ranking and computational cost. Furthermore, the quantitative influence of the above-mentioned important parameters on the energy consumed by VAC system in a typical island subway station were studied. Results show that the impact of outdoor air parameters on is as high as 84%; the effects of mechanical fresh air volume, air infiltration volume through the entrances and air infiltration volume through the platform screen doors are 43%, 29% and 12%, respectively; the impact of equipment efficiency reaches 39% and is non-linear; the influence of the air parameters inside the station and the tunnel are 37% and 33%, respectively. The outcome of this research points out important variables that need to be paid attention to in the energy conservation design and operation of subway stations, providing guidance for energy-saving operation and management of stations.

Research on TOD Planning and Design Theory
CUI Xu, LIANG Pengpeng, YU Bingjie, CHEN Binglang
Abstract:
At present, one of the main functions of rail transit stations is to transport passengers. The construction of rail transit networks promotes the large flow of population, and at the same time produces multi-space scale effects. TOD can meet the diversified functional needs, stimulate the vitality of the city in the affected area, and coor-dinate with the construction of the transit metropolis. Theoretical and practical values of TOD are becoming more prominent. However, the current TOD-related research results are mainly discussed on a single scale, which lacks systematic, multi-scale and multi-dimensional combing. Based on this, the paper analyzes the evolution of TOD theory through the bibliometric method, studies the comprehensive effect of stations under the influence of new urbanism, the effect of agglomeration of stations under the influence of smart growth, the effect of station group structure in the multi-dimensional era, and explores the theoretical connotation of TOD planning and design in different development stages. Comparing the differences of TOD concepts between China and the United States, it is found that the overall density of Chinese cities is high, the density distribution is homogeneous, the commuting time in big cities is long, and the problem of mismatch between job and residence is prominent. In view of the current problems in China, this paper puts forward the development suggestions and strategies of TOD fine design, collaborative planning and space-time interaction from the scale of station, station area and station group, hoping to provide reference for future TOD planning and design.

liuxiaodong, daili, zhouguohua, zhoufangting
Abstract:
In the development of rail transit, sustainable development has become the key issue. Based on the development and current situation of the New York metro, summarize the main problems, use case analysis, and comparative research method to clarify the inner relationship between financing, facility upgrades, and transportation service quality. Identify the huge funding gap is the key reason. In response to the financial dilemma of the New York subway, based on the two dimensions of government subsidies and operating economy, the reasons for the dilemma faced by it are from four aspects: incorrect development positioning in the early stage of development, unclear division of two-level government powers and responsibilities, stagnant daily operating income, and insufficient premium recovery. It is proposed that China’s rail transit should absorb the lessons of the New York subway in the development process, strive to realize the internalization of the positive externalities of the "government subsidy + diversified development" two-wheel drive, clearly divide the responsibilities of all parties involved, and explore the construction based on "tax + development" Driven multiple premium recycling models to achieve high quality and sustainable development.

Study on route planning of passengers connecting urban rail transit from urban external transport hub
Abstract:
The existence of urban external hub ensures the interconnection of urban internal and external transportation, a large number of passengers choose to transfer to rail transit at the external transport hub to enter the city. Passengers who enter the city usually carry more luggages, which requires higher comfort than commuters. To study the passenger route planning based on rail transit and supplemented by other public transport modes can reduce pressure on road network and improve passenger comfort and further attract passenger flow by "avoiding" congested sections and adjusting transportation. This paper uses web crawler method to obtain the running time and cost of urban rail transit from Beijing Daxing International Airport to Beijing from open data sources, and analyzes the accessibility and advantages and disadvantages of Beijing rail transit network compared with riding. Based on the above results, this paper designs a generalized cost considering congestion and other factors for connecting urban rail transit passengers. On the basis of the generalized cost, a passenger route planning algorithm to solve the shortest path by dividing sub networks was designed. Compared with the route provided by the existing route planning system, it is proved that the algorithm in this paper can provide more comfortable travel route for passengers.

Research on the optimize configuration of cutters for long distance shield tunneling in gravel stratum
ZHANG Jinxun, YIN Mingun, Jiang Hua, Zhou Liugang
Abstract:
Aimed at the characteristics of long distance shield tunneling in gravel stratum, the concept of multi-dimensional gradient layout of advanced cutters is proposed. The multi-dimensional layout ensures the stability of cutter head in long-distance excavation, and the gradient layout makes the alloy blocks of advanced cutters with different heights overlap to realize the wear "relay". In this study, we selected the most suitable design for the project after comparing several cutter heads and cutters layout. Meanwhile, the wear resistance and impact resistance of the alloy blocks were optimized in order to avoid the impact fatigue failure in long-distance excavation. Based on the engineering of the section from Cigezhuang Station to No. 1 Air Shaft in Beijing new airport Metro line, the final cutter head design scheme is obtained through scheme comparison and selection. Furthermore, the cutting tool wear results and tunneling parameters in the tunneling process are analyzed. The data show that the long-distance tunneling in gravel stratum with multi-layer advanced cutters can be divided into two stages: ploughing with high cutter mainly and ploughing with both high and low cutters. In the first stage, the wear coefficient of the 155mm advanced cutters are reduced due to the cutters with 190mm height. In the second stage, the normal tunneling can be maintained within a certain distance, which means that the tunneling distance can be extended. It can provide reference for similar engineering construction in the future.

Resilience Assessment of an Urban Rail Transit Network under Emergencies
LIU Fuhua, YIN Yong, CHEN Jinqu
Abstract:
Assessing the resilience of urban rail transit (URT) network under emergencies has practical significance to enhance the URT system’s operation. An URT network performance indicator which takes URT network’s topology structure and passengers’ travel into consideration is proposed here, and the URT network’s resilience is measured by taking URT network’s performance recovery rate as indicator. Finally, the resilience of Chengdu subway network under emergencies is analyzed by proposed models. The result indicates that the performance loss of URT network is in proportion to emergencies’ duration. Compared with non-transfer stations, the failure of transfer stations will lead to higher URT network performance loss. URT network’s resilience is inverse proportion to the duration of emergencies. For URT operator, the URT network’s resilience under emergencies can be improved by strengthening equipment maintenance and optimizing rescue sequence.

Research on Sustainable development of MTR
Abstract:
With the continuous growth of urban rail transit operation scale of China, the importance of sustainable development of rail transit is increasingly prominent. As the only profitable Metro Company in the world, MTR"s business model is of great significance of China"s mainland rail companies. Through the analysis of the profits of various businesses, it is found that as MTR enters the operation Era, "Rail + property" is no longer the key factor of its sustainable development. Instead, it is the operation business such as Transport Operations and Station Commercial Business. The profit of these businesses is derived from the large amount of passenger flow within the MTR, which is known as "flow realization ". This shows that land resources can only support the construction of rail transit, and it is passenger flow that can support its development.

Analysis on the Influencing Factors of Pedestrian Spatial Continuity Around Beijing Rail Transit Stations
GAO Jie, WANG Xiaoyan, ZHANG Yunan
Abstract:
Taking 70 rail transit stations from the Third Ring Road to the Fourth Ring Road in Beijing as samples, this paper analyzed the continuity of the walking space around the stations from two aspects: the integrity of the walking network at the macro level and the smoothness of the walking path at the micro level. The dominant problems and influencing factors were explored by means of satellite map observation, map marking and field survey. The results show that: the overall degree of pedestrian network around stations in Beijing urban area is mainly affected by main roads, expressways and viaducts, followed by rivers and railways, but their cutting effect is far greater than that of urban roads. A small number of stations are affected by elevated rail transit lines, resulting in the failure of effective integration of ground and ground space around the entrance and exit. From the perspective of time and space barrier, the environmental factors affecting the smoothness of pedestrian path are mainly reflected in three aspects: the connectivity of crossing facilities, the time blocking effect of grade intersections and the dual guidance of buildings (structures). In order to realize the pedestrian accessibility of subway passengers from the exit to the destination, this paper put forward some suggestions on the construction of smooth and continuous walking space from the aspects of track line and site selection, station entrance and exit space design, space environment elements and policy guidance.

The Design of Double-line Continuous U-beam Bridge With Variable Width
Abstract:
In this paper, a detailed design of double-line continuous U-beam bridge with variable width of urban rail transit is carried out. This bridge make a three-span continuous structure, it have a main span of 45m. With the width of 11.01m at the small mileage and 14.96m at the large mileage, it have a variable width far greater than that of other bridges of the same type, so the difficulty of the design process increases rapidly. The design combines the continuous structure system with the standard U-beam, it greatly reduces the structural volume, and forms a lightweight landscape together with the station. The design of the mid-web variable width segment adopts the system design method of “web thickens +box added + web forked”, which the structure changes from three webs to four webs during the process of broaden its width. The whole bridge is so complex and needs further study. By establishing the beam element model and three dimensional finite element model of the whole bridge, the transverse stress analysis, the local stresses of the variable width segment, the support reactions and multiple web shears distribution and the overall spatial stress effect analysis are carried out. The stress mechanism of the bridge is further discussed. Through the optimization analysis of the whole bridge, the thickness of the web and bottom plate of the bridge is reduced to further improve the mechanical performance of the structure, which provides a rational design method for this type of bridge.

Explorations and Practices of Regional Rapid Rail Lines Planning in Shanghai
Abstract:
In order to acquire a better understanding of regional rapid lines, this paper studied the implementation evaluation of regional rapid lines planning. Based on the Shanghai comprehensive transportation annual report and the smart card data, the evaluation focused on the realization of planning objectives and passenger flow characteristics. The result shows that, with regard to regional rapid rail lines, the average traveling distance carried is relatively longer, and the passenger flow density is relatively higher, while the load density is relatively lower comparing to the metro lines. From the spatial distribution aspect, the passenger flow distributes along the line, agglomerates in the central city area and partly clusters within the new town. From the temporal distribution view, the passenger flow clusters cumulatively within the peak hours and the agglomeration effect is prominent. Finally, suggestions of regional rapid lines planning and passenger flow forecasting are put forward.

Abstract:
The concept of speed efficiency was proposed to measure the travel speed efficiency of urban rail transit lines. This study analyzed the operating data of 170 urban rail transit lines in China, including fully closed-operated subway, light rail, and monorail systems, considering only the train operating mode at station stops. The analysis covered various factors such as average station spacing, line design speed, and travel speed. The results showed that most lines (approximately 64%) have a design speed of 80 km/h, with average station spacing ranging from 1.0 to 2.5 km. Among these lines, about 90% have a travel speed between 30 and 40 km/h, with speed efficiency distributed between 37.5% and 50.0%. Additionally, the study quantitatively analyzed the relationships between travel speed, average station spacing, and design speed, finding both positive and negative correlations. Finally, based on fitted travel speed and speed efficiency formulas and actual data, the corresponding distribution relationships of average station spacing, design speed, travel speed, and speed efficiency were calculated. These findings provide a reference for determining a reasonable travel speed range and speed efficiency for urban rail transit lines.

Abstract:
To enhance the energy efficiency of urban rail traction power-supply systems, this study investigated various strategies aimed at reducing energy consumption. An equivalent circuit model of an urban rail transit traction power supply system was initially developed based on traditional power flow calculation methods. This model considered the nonlinear characteristics of traction energy for urban rail vehicles and variations in the equivalent circuit within a multivehicle context. Subsequently, a power flow analysis method was devised utilizing the established equivalent circuit model and node voltages. Finally, using data from Hefei rail transit line 1 and results from multitrain operation simulations, the study analyzed power, voltage, and energy consumption across different traction power-supply configurations: existing systems and three new systems integrating inverter feedback, energy storage, and photovoltaic technologies. The findings indicate significant advantages for the new systems: the system with inverter feedback notably reduces traction substation energy consumption, while the energy storage system effectively reduces peak power demands. Additionally, the system incorporating photovoltaic technology achieves a substantial 24.89% reduction in traction substation energy consumption compared to the existing setup. These results serve as a valuable reference for optimizing energy efficiency and emissions reduction efforts in urban rail transit systems, offering insights into practical strategies for enhancing operational sustainability.

Abstract:
In recent years, with the comprehensive transformation and upgrading of the national economy, Beijing’s urban development model has shifted towards a more scientific, sustainable, and high-quality approach. The relationship between rail transit and urban development has been re-evaluated, leading to the emergence of the “urban follow-track construction” planning concept. This study examines the current issues in Beijing’s rail transit system, summarizes the experiences of integrating and developing rail transit station cities, reviews recent policy guidelines related to station-city integration in Beijing, and offers new insights and perspectives on the station planning concept for rail transit lines. In terms of urban rail transit network planning, the focus is on selecting appropriate corridors and nodes to enhance interaction with urban planning. For route planning, attention is given to resource matching between stations and surrounding land, aiming to balance the planning and construction processes for mutual benefit. By integrating the lessons learned from actual engineering projects, this new planning concept is applied to practical engineering, providing a reference for the integrated development of Beijing’s rail transit station cities.

Abstract:
This study focuses on a straight-line section of a subway line to analyze the factors influencing the vibration source strength in subway tunnels. Vehicle-induced vibration signals and velocity signals were collected synchronously, and the timedomain and frequency-domain characteristics of all-day test samples were statistically analyzed. The results showed that during peak hours in the morning and evening, the vibration response inside the tunnel may not be completely maximized, and the degree of dispersion of the vibration source intensity is directly related to the vehicle state. The study found an average difference of 6.7 dB in the VLZ of the tunnel wall measurement points caused by V1 and V2 vehicles. Using more than 40 sets of test samples to calculate the vibration source intensity yielded results closer to the daily sample mean. The main frequency of tunnel vibration caused by the wheel-rail system shifts with changes in vehicle speed. A strong linear positive correlation was observed between vehicle speed and the vibration acceleration levels of the track bed and tunnel wall. Specifically, for every 10 km/h increase in vehicle speed, the vibration increases by about 1.7 dB and 2.6 dB, respectively. When the speed difference is within 10 km/h, the vibration source intensity changes within 1 dB; when the speed difference is between 10~20 km/h, the increase is about 1.5~2.2 dB. The coefficient of speed-corrected CV was calculated to be 18.5, aligning closely with the coefficient used for train speed correction in the vibration prediction formula. Tunnel wall vibration was more discrete in the low-frequency band below 40 Hz, but this band contributed minimally to the source strength of vibration, accounting for 15.29%. The dominant frequency band was 50-63 Hz, contributing 59.55% to the source strength of vibration. These research findings can provide a reference for further refining the vibration prediction formula and offer a theoretical basis for improving the accuracy of metro tunnel source strength test results.

Abstract:
Intercity railways in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) face operational challenges when used for public transit. These challenges include unclear functional specialization, misalignment with urban development plans, and insufficient network operation, leading to low service efficiency. This study proposes a reorganization strategy informed by successful regional rail transit practices globally. The strategy focuses on three key areas: (1) Reorganizing intercity railways, urban express lines, and other rail lines based on distinct functional levels for optimized service allocation. (2) Optimizing the network layout based on urban travel demand characteristics. This includes optimizing external corridors, strengthening fast and direct connections within the core area, and further strengthening urban rail interconnection through station wiring and connecting lines. (3) Optimizing intercity station and transfer services to improve passenger experience. Implementing these strategies is expected to provide valuable insights for improving operational service levels and promoting the sustainable development of intercity railways in the GBA.

Abstract:
To identify key stations in urban rail transit networks and study their evolution over multiple years, we developed a key station recognition method based on truncated singular value decomposition (TSVD). We selected origin-destination (OD) data from the morning peak hours between 2011 and 2019 in Beijing as the dataset. The analysis involved evaluating the evolution of network passenger flow and identifying key stations in subway networks using key eigenvectors. These results were then compared with those obtained from complex network methods. The analysis demonstrates that TSVD can effectively identify key network stations by considering the OD distribution. The outcomes from TSVD better represent the spatial distribution of network passenger flow than traditional methods. The results revealed that the spatial layout of key stations in Beijing’s urban rail transit has evolved towards multiple centers, such as Northwest Xi’erqi and Southwest Fengtai Science Park. These stations are gradually forming network passenger flow centers and establishing connections. Additionally, stations like Southeast Tu Qiao and Northeast Fengbo are showing preliminary trends toward becoming network passenger flow centers

Abstract:
To address the shortage of real-time data and the accuracy limitations of existing automatic line control systems, we propose an intelligent upgrade scheme for train control systems. First, considering the distinct characteristics of electric and air braking in train operations, we developed accurate braking models for both systems, incorporating the switch between electric and air braking. Next, we optimized the ATO controller and applied a sliding mode adaptive robust control strategy. This strategy adjusts the controller in real time, enhancing its robustness and adaptability to varying vehicle parameters and external environmental interferences. Using Beijing Metro Line 5 as a case study, we simulated the precise train braking model and the sliding mode adaptive robust controller to calculate the stopping accuracy and speed error of the train. The results demonstrate that, compared to proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control and sliding mode control, the proposed control algorithm significantly reduces parking accuracy and speed errors. Specifically, the average parking accuracy achieved is less than 8 cm.

Abstract:
This study investigated and analyzed the assembly attitude of prefabricated partition walls on the Shanghai Airport Link Line to ensure high assembly quality within large-diameter shield tunnels. Initially, the coordinate system of the partition walls was established. Subsequently, the study examined the assembly attitude under initial assembly errors and error-free scenarios. It focused on obtaining precise attitude information and the analytical expression of the partition wall’s bottom plane equation for each operational condition. The analytical results reveal the following: 1) In scenarios where there are no initial assembly errors or where errors are limited to translation or rotation, the selection of control points and jacking sequences within the regulating system does not affect the assembly quality of the partition walls. The assembly attitude can be effectively managed using the derived expression for the wall’s attitude. 2) When initial assembly errors extend beyond simple translation or rotation, precise control of the partition wall’s attitude becomes crucial. This involves adjusting the jacking sequences within the regulating system accordingly. Utilizing the obtained expression allows for improved assembly accuracy of the partition walls. 3) The study successfully applied an analytical formula to constructing partition walls, demonstrating favorable engineering outcomes in practical applications.

Abstract:
The study addressed issues related to the non-action and delayed response times of subway station fire protection systems, focusing on optimizing the automatic pump start method for fire water supply control systems utilizing municipal direct pressurized water supply. Initially, a field test was conducted on the automatic pump start system at a subway station, followed by a detailed analysis of the test data to understand pressure and flow rate change dynamics within the fire protection system. Based on this analysis, a novel approach was developed to determine optimal settings for the pressure switch, flow switch, and stabilizer pump unit, calibrated explicitly to the municipal water pressure thresholds at each station. Findings highlighted the necessity of employing high-pressure stabilization due to the influence of municipal water pressure on the pressure switch. Additionally, it was noted that the interplay between pressure and flow switches is crucial under varying operational conditions, necessitating their complementary roles in enabling automatic pump start functionality to enhance reliability. Adjustments were recommended for the logical relationship between the flow switch activation threshold and the stabilizer pump unit settings in different pump room configurations. This adjustment aimed to prevent inadvertent pump start-ups triggered by fire pipe network leaks, thereby addressing concerns related to overly prolonged or rapid pump activation. These research outcomes are essential guidelines for designing new subway lines’ fire hydrant water supply systems and fire pump rooms. Their application ensures smooth automatic initiation of station fire water supply systems, effectively enhancing efficiency and safety across subway network fire protection systems.

Abstract:
To address the urgent need for vibration and noise reduction in the development of upper covers, this paper summarizes existing control measures for tracking vibration and noise in depots, emphasizing the necessity of implementing seamless rails in depot lines. We also examine the requirements for sleepers. Our calculations indicate that depots can meet the strength and stability requirements for seamless lines by using arm span resistance pillows in conjunction with other strengthening measures. Additionally, this paper introduces a seamless turnout technology for No.7 movable turnouts and verifies their seamless integration based on actual usage conditions in Beijing. The findings suggest that both the turnouts and the turnout groups are suitable for seamless application. A comparative test conducted at a speed of 15 km/h reveals that the movable turnout reduces vibration and noise by 3–5 dB compared to fixed turnouts.

Abstract:
This paper proposes an automated method for generating parametric BIM pipe fittings to tackle the complexity of urban rail transit pipelines and reduce the reliance on manual intervention for generating 3D models. The method addresses the challenge of accurately determining the start and end coordinates of pipelines due to irregularities during the drawing stage. The proposed approach employs spatial vector operations to automatically identify the types of fittings (such as elbows, tees, and crosses) required between two, three, and four pipelines based on the centerline coordinates of straight pipes. It then calculates the shape and positional parameters of these fittings by referencing standard dimension tables. The model is expressed using industry foundation classes (IFC), and the implementation leverages the C++ language to achieve the automatic generation of models. Verification of the method demonstrates significant improvements in efficiency and automation in the generation of piping models.

Abstract:
In response to the absence of experimental verification of smoke control and ventilation models for tunnel fires without fire doors in cross-passageways of urban rail transit projects, this study conducted a comprehensive ventilation and smoke control experiment in a typical tunnel of the Zhengzhou Metro. The experiment focused on varying locations of train fires within the tunnel. By assessing smoke control wind speeds in both the fire tunnel and cross-passageway under different conditions, our objective was to validate the impact of not installing fire doors in cross-passageways on tunnel fire ventilation and smoke control, and to evaluate the effectiveness of different ventilation and smoke control models. The results indicated that in tunnels with fully enclosed platform doors and one cross-passageway in the test sections, the absence of fire doors (i.e., with open fire doors) resulted in all tested ventilation and smoke control models achieving wind speeds exceeding 2 m/s blowing towards the side where the fire occurred at the door openings. Simultaneously, exhaust wind speeds inside the fire tunnels exceeded 2 m/s, meeting the regulatory requirements for smoke control. These findings suggest the feasibility of omitting fire doors in similar projects. Different ventilation and smoke control models demonstrated varying wind speeds at door openings. Models utilizing two tunnel fans to supply air to the fire tunnel and pressurize non-fire tunnels, coupled with four exhaust fans to extract smoke from the fire tunnel, achieved higher wind speeds at cross-passageway entrances.

In order to enhance the excavation efficiency of an EPB/TBM dual-mode shield machine and minimize disc cutter wear, the study was conducted on the performance of disc cutters along the Intercity Railway from Airport East Station to Huangmabu Station, Shenzhen. The research focused on the full-section hard rock strata from ZDK8+583.0 to ZDK8+359.8 on the left side of the tunnel. Initially, the study analyzed cutter replacement conditions and wear patterns based on different functions and types of disc cutters to determine optimal performance criteria. Subsequently, the service life of the disc cutters under optimal conditions was evaluated to guide replacement scheduling. Finally, a tool information management system tailored to the project’s requirements was established. The findings highlight that China Railway's wide-blade disc cutter is well-suited for excavating this specific formation. The implemented tool management system effectively manages comprehensive information about the tools, which helps ensure cost-effective and efficient onsite operations. This research serves as a practical guide for choosing disc cutters for shield tunneling machines. It promotes better information management practices for disc cutters, leading to safer and more efficient operations.

Abstract:
An integrated spatial finite element model of rail-bridge-pier was developed and validated to investigate the effect of temperature on the interaction between bridges and rails, particularly focusing on small-radius curved bridges used by trams. This study compared and analyzed the bridge-rail interaction laws between straight bridges and small-radius curved bridges. It specifically examined the additional expansion force of the rail, lateral forces at the top of bridge piers, and longitudinal forces under overall and local heating conditions. Under overall heating conditions, the research found that small-radius curved bridges experience greater lateral displacement of the steel rail and higher lateral forces at the top of bridge piers compared to straight bridges. Moreover, as the bridge temperature increased, the additional expansion force of the rail also increased. Calculations using overall heating conditions resulted in larger expansion forces and longitudinal forces on the top of piers compared to local heating conditions. Based on these findings, three different fastener arrangement schemes were proposed and evaluated. It was observed that fasteners with lower resistance could effectively reduce the additional expansion force of the rail. However, insufficient longitudinal resistance might increase the risk of rail joint fractures. In conclusion, the study provides valuable insights for designing continuously welded rails on small-radius curved bridges for tram systems, offering guidance on optimizing fastener arrangements to mitigate rail expansion effects while ensuring structural integrity.

Abstract:
To investigate the sources and distribution patterns of PM2.5, PM10, and total suspended particulates (TSP) in subway stations, this study conducted particulate matter concentration tests at 11 stations along two subway lines in a city. The test areas included outdoor locations, station public areas, equipment management rooms, and corridors inside the platform end doors. The concentrations of PM2.5, PM10, and TSP in each area were measured, and elemental analysis of the outdoor and platform particulates was performed. Subsequently, the distribution patterns of PM2.5, PM10, and TSP in various areas at different outdoor concentrations were analyzed. Based on the test results, suggestions for subway particulate matter prevention and control measures were proposed. The research revealed a significant increase in iron content in particulate matter within stations compared to outdoor areas. Particulate matter containing iron in subway stations often exhibits irregular sheet-like shapes, differing from those found outdoors, indicating that rail-wheel friction is the source of these particulates. When outdoor particulate matter concentration levels were low, the distribution patterns of particles of various sizes were similar, generally exhibiting higher concentrations in the tunnels than in the stations and outdoors. However, when outdoor particulate matter concentration levels were high, PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations were higher in tunnels than in outdoor areas and stations. Regardless of outdoor particulate matter concentration, TSP concentrations in public areas and carriages were consistently higher than outdoors. These findings provide valuable insights for developing effective particulate matter prevention and control measures in subway systems.
