Shanghai Rail Transit Integration Development Strategy Based on Yangtze River Delta Integration

Abstract

[Objective] With the deepening integration of regional development, it is essential to enhance the service level of urban rail transit, alleviate transportation pressure, and integrate regional resources. To achieve integrated development of Shanghai rail transit, the construction of an integrated operation system is necessary. In this context, a development strategy for the integration of Shanghai rail transit based on Yangtze River Delta integration is proposed. [Method] Starting from the historical development and the long-term planning of Shanghai rail transit network, in conjunction with the commuting needs within the Shanghai metropolitan area and the city scope, an analysis of the existing issues in rail transit is conducted. The connotation of Shanghai rail transit integration development seeks to optimize the allocation of various transportation modes, and strategies for integration are proposed from the perspectives of ′unified planning, coordinated operation, and institutional collaboration.′ [Result & Conclusion] The network structure and functionality of Shanghai rail transit are not yet fully developed, with inadequate connectivity between different levels of rail transit and a lack of linkage among multi-level entities in operational management. The development strategy for Shanghai rail transit integration involves optimizing the existing network and improving the structural functionality. It also includes planning network integration to establish a multi-level regional line network, establishing a city-level line operation company management mode and dispatch center, creating a linkage mechanism for main operators based on planning and industrial alliance, and formulating legal safeguards for regional integration. The integration strategy, characterized by ′planning as a unified network, operation as an integrated entity, one ticket for passengers to the end′ aims to achieve coordinated ′point-line-plane′ development, ensuring the smooth connection and operation of multi-level rail transit systems, providing passengers with high-quality transportation services, and realizing high-quality development of Shanghai rail transit integration.
