Research purposes: Urban rail transit system in China has stepped into a fast developing era, and it is characterized with diversification, multi-level and network formation. As forming and developing of metropolitan and town groups, high attentions from all circles has been paid to inner city rapid rail transit system day by day. This paper intends to introduce the technical features, theory for planning, criteria and standards through research on rapid rail transit system in Dongguan.
Research methods: By comparison on such fields as technical features and ridership of Inner-city rapid rail transit system, intercity rail transit system and urban rail transit system respectively, the analysis of differences on function orientation and technical features are performed. And by using of reference of experiences on development of inner-city rail transit system both at home and abroad, criteria and technical standard for planning of inner-city rail transit system are proposed.
Research results: The facts on features regarding ridership and technical standard of Inner-city rail transit system lies in between those for intercity rail transit system and urban rail transit system. Therefore, technical standard as proposed is closer to those for urban rail transit system.
Research purpose: In order to ensure the healthy and orderly development of Inner-city rail transit system in China, preparation of planning for multilevel and multimode transport within administrative regions is enhanced. Besides, interactive coordination of each districts and towns is also enhanced in connection with transport planning for the purpose of integrating the multimode transport within its regions which fully plays its roles in connection with function and efficiency.
