Practical Strategies for Urban Rail Transit Loop Planning, Construction, and Operation

Abstract

Urban rail transit loops are essential in urban rail transit systems and transportation networks. However, precise requirements and reference standards for rail transit loop design have yet to be established. There are certain areas for improvement in planning, construction, and operation. In the planning and design of urban rail transit loops, the scale of the city and the relationship between line operations should be considered to ensure that the line conforms to the city’s operating traffic conditions and can effectively cater to peak passenger flow requirements. This article presents strategies for planning, constructing, and operating urban rail transit loops, laying the foundation for the healthy operation of urban rail transit.
