Why does Japan use Macau Light Rail?

Because the Macao light rail project was invited for public bidding, Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries won the bid. The first phase of Macao light rail system was opened, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries of Japan won the bid with 4.688 billion patacas. Like the new Japanese transportation system "Lily Seagull", the light rail is fully automatic and unmanned.

This is the 14 line system built by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Group overseas. This 9.3-kilometer-long line began to operate, connecting the international airport and passenger terminal in Taipa Island, Macao, as well as resort hotels with casinos. The fully automatic unmanned transportation system built by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Group has been adopted by many airports in the United States, Singapore, South Korea and other places.

Equipment and facilities:

I. Vehicle facilities

1, design concept

The design concept of Macao light rail train is seaside resort, and the design theme of the train is to express a city full of seaside holiday feeling; The design of carriage space and handrail position is inspired by the dynamic circular design of sailboat, handrail grip and landing handrail, which brings out the image of water surface ripple movement.

2. Design theme

The exterior color of the carriage of Macau light rail train is white and deep-sea blue, and the orange wave patterns on both sides of the carriage represent the reflected sunlight. There is a large octagonal glass window in front of the train. When you look out from the carriage, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery from the interior of the resort hotel room.

3. Design parameters

The average running speed of Macao light rail trains is about 30 kilometers per hour, and the designed maximum running speed of trains is 80 kilometers per hour. Travel in groups of two or four carriages, each carrying about 100 passengers. At the beginning of the operation of Macau Light Rail, the maximum one-way passenger traffic per hour reached 7,800 passengers, which can be increased to 1, 4 1, 000 passengers every year.

II. Operating facilities

1, fully automatic driverless system

Macau Light Rail adopts a fully automatic driverless system, which mainly monitors and dispatches the operation of the whole light rail system through the operation control center and advanced monitoring, communication and signal systems, without the operation of drivers and conductors.

The fully automatic driverless system of Macau Light Rail can flexibly adjust the running frequency of trains through advanced automatic control technology, ensure the punctuality of trains and provide more efficient services. In addition, the system can effectively maintain a fixed safe running distance between trains, avoid accidents caused by improper human operation and improve the safety of the system.

2. Automobile factory

Macau Light Rail Vehicle Factory is located in the south of Macau Airport, adjacent to Airport Road in the west, covering an area of about 6.5438+0.3 million square meters, which is the heart of Macau light rail system. Light rail car factory is divided into two construction projects: foundation and upper cover. The first stage is the infrastructure project.

The upper cover of the vehicle depot is mainly composed of the operation building (operation control center), the workshop and maintenance building, the train parking area, and the car washing office. There is a test track with a total length of about 600 meters in the depot for train test.
