Interpretation of rail transit terms

Rail transit is a mode of transportation that uses fixed tracks such as railways, subways and trams. Different from road traffic, rail transit has an independent rail system, which can reduce traffic jams and pollution and contribute to urban development and quality of life.

I. Rail Transit

Traditional railway

Traditional railway is the most primitive rail transit, which is divided into two categories: general-speed railway and high-speed railway. Mainly responsible for large-scale, long-distance passenger and freight transportation, usually carried by large locomotives that tow multiple cars or trucks. Traditional railway is the core member of rail transit, which is related to the national economy and military lifeline.

Intercity track

Intercity rail transit is a new type of rail transit with comprehensive performance between traditional railway and urban rail transit. Mainly responsible for high-speed and medium-distance passenger transport. Usually, the purpose of carrying passengers by large EMUs is to realize the rapid contact between neighboring cities and meet the communication between urban agglomerations.

Second, the technical characteristics of rail transit

correct

Urban rail transit is an all-weather means of transportation, because it runs in a dedicated lane and is not interfered by other means of transportation, causing no line congestion and being unaffected by climate. The train can run according to the operation diagram, and it is reliable on time.

Accessibility

Compared with conventional public transportation, urban rail transit runs in special lanes and is not interfered by other vehicles. The running speed of vehicles is high, the acceleration of starting and braking is large, and high platforms are mostly used. The train stops for a short time, getting on and off quickly and conveniently, and the transfer is convenient, so that passengers can reach their destinations faster and travel time can be shortened.

Importance of rail transit

1, improve traffic conditions:

Rail transit system (such as subway, light rail, etc. ) can provide efficient, fast and reliable traffic services in cities, thus improving urban traffic conditions, improving traffic efficiency and reducing traffic congestion.

2. Promote urban economic development:

The construction and operation of rail transit need a lot of investment and human resources, which creates employment opportunities for the city. At the same time, the development of rail transit system can also promote business and tourism activities, attract investment and create economic growth.

3, improve the quality of life of residents:

The existence of rail transit system makes it easier for residents to access various facilities and services, such as schools, medical institutions, shops and leisure places. They provide more convenience and choices for urban residents and improve their quality of life.
