Abstract:Research purposes: Based on study of international technical standards of monorail traffic,this paper applies such norms to the design of straddle type monorails in Chongqing city, and draws conclusions of certain route design standards and specific practice, in order for references to similar projects.
Research methods: In view of the growth of international monorails, especially the development of Japanese monorail which applies extensively in public transportation, along with its technique introduced to China, this paper draws the overall conclusion of route design, by taking into account the criteria of mute plane and profile design in straddle type monorail construction in Chongqing city.
Research Conclusions: This paper refers to relevant technical summary of Japanese straddle type monorail. And based on the application of such design in Chongqing City, it proposes route plane and profile design criterions, imperative factors for various mute patterns and suggestions about problem solutions, management enforcement and optimal designs.
