1In February, 1977, the Transportation Planning Committee of the Ministry of Communications (the predecessor of the Transportation Research Institute of the Ministry of Communications) drew up the report "Preliminary Planning of Taipei Mass Rapid Transit System", which planned five lines, U 1, U2, U3, S 1 and S2, and briefly shaped the road network outline, which was the earliest rapid transit planning in Taipei. 1981September, the transportation commission hired BMTC and China Consulting Engineering Department to form a planning team to study the preliminary planning report in depth. Among them, some of BMTC's main personnel are British engineers, who have participated in the route design of Hong Kong Metro (now MTR), so the design of parallel interchanges on the same platform that Hong Kong has always adopted is modified to L-shaped intersections, and the problem of excessive route overlap has also been solved. These are the biggest differences from the previous planning. The Executive Yuan 1986 approved the initial road network of Taipei MRT.
On March 1 March/9851day, the Council for Economic Development signed a contract with the Taipei MRT Consulting and Engineering Department (TTC) composed of three consulting companies in the United States to conduct a comprehensive study on the MRT system in Taipei metropolitan area. In addition to the road network reconstruction according to BMTC, the 1 line with medium traffic volume in Taipei is also included in the road network. 1986 The Executive Yuan approved the preliminary road network plan of Taipei MRT adopted by the Economic Development Council. This plan is the first edition of the road network in the early days of Taipei MRT, drawing the Danshui Line and Xindian Line as red lines, and at the same time incorporating them into the current Zhonghe Line, the Blue Line from Banqiao to Songshan (taking the current route from Songshan Road to Songshan Station instead of the track of the Taiwan Railway) and the Muka Line (taking Muka instead of the current Wan Fang Road). .
On June 27th, 1986, the preparatory office of the Taipei Municipal Government MRT Engineering Bureau was established. On February 23rd, 1987, the Taipei Municipal Government's MRT Engineering Bureau was formally established. In addition to preparing for the construction of the MRT, the route has been gradually revised. The following year, the Taipei Municipal Government MRT Bureau was established, and it was suggested that the Blue Line should be extended to Nangang, the Muka Line should be changed to the current route, the Danshui Line should be separated from the Xindian Line, and the maintenance track (now the Xiaonanmen Line) should be added to become the "initial road network" in the second edition, returning to the original BMTC planning method. Neihu Line and Tucheng Line were newly added in the early 1990s, and the original road network was formally planned here. . The North District, East District and South District Engineering Offices of Taipei MRT were also established on February 23rd 1988 and July 5th 1989, respectively, responsible for the actual construction work.
Brief introduction to the changes of network lines and planned operation modes of Taipei MRT in the early days: Danshui Line (U 1-BMTC Red Line -TTC Red Line-Up to now), Xindian Line (U 1-BMTC Green Line-Now Green Line), Zhonghe Line (U3-BMTC Orange Line-Up to now), Nangang Line, and so on. In order to solve the traffic jam problem, the substantive planning of Taipei subway started. 1In February, 1977, the Transportation Planning Committee of the Ministry of Communications (predecessor of the Transportation Research Institute) drew up the report "Preliminary Planning of Taipei Mass Rapid Transit System", and planned five lines, U 1, U2, U3, S 1 and S2, which simplified the road network outline and was the earliest rapid transit planning in Taipei. 1981September, the transportation commission hired BMTC and China Consulting Engineering Department to form a planning team to study the preliminary planning report in depth. The biggest difference from the preliminary planning is that the route through the urban area is changed to L-shaped intersection, which solves the problem of excessive route overlap.
In 65438-0982, the Taipei Municipal Government commissioned national chiao tung university to carry out research on the development of medium-volume rapid transportation system. 1984 65438+ 10, the Taipei municipal government's "China Mass Transit Task Force" put forward the preliminary development plan of Taipei's new mass transit system, and planned two routes of China Mass Transit System: 1 Line and Line 2. 198865438+February, the first project of Taipei MRT-Beitou Machinery Factory started. In the original road network, except for the later added Neihu line, six lines started almost at the same time, which is called' six-line connection'. Neihu Line didn't start construction until 2002, because of the dispute over system selection, overhead and underground, and the funds were frozen, which became the last line section in the initial road network.
Because the east-west Nangang Line was completed and opened to traffic late, the two north-south lines, Muka Line and Danshui Line, could not be transferred by MRT, so the road network at that time was dubbed' Chopsticks Road Network'. At one time, the relevant units intended to let Taipei Station-Xiao Zhong Fuxing Station section of Nangang Line open to traffic first, but considering that the original planned opening time may be delayed by up to one year, and it can only be operated during peak hours, they finally decided to use bus connection. On February 26th, 1997, 1997, the municipal government opened the MRT shuttle bus free of charge, which was operated by the Taipei Bus Management Office and ran between Taipei Central Station and Xiao Zhong Fuxing Station. Due to limited funds, it stopped at1May 5, 998 before the opening of the Blue Line Municipal Government Station-Longshansi Station.
199965438+On February 24th, 2009, when Banqiao Line and Nangang Line were partially opened to traffic, together with other lines that had been opened to traffic, a road network that looked like a swastika was formed. At that time, it was generally called' Double Ten Road Network'. Taipei main station and Xiao Zhong Fuxing Station have thus become the two most important interchange stations. On March 28th, 1996, the Muka Line (1October 8th was renamed Wenshan Line, 19), which was the first Taipei MRT line and the first Taiwan Province MRT line. Later, in order to commemorate this event, Taipei MRT Company designated March 28th as Taipei MRT Memorial Day. Chen Shui-bian, then the mayor of Taipei, advocated dismantling the Muka Line during the election campaign, but after taking office, he still proceeded to have a physical examination of the Muka Line, leaving a famous sentence "matala, let's pull it ourselves" and describing the grand occasion of opening the whole line one after another with "one line a year".
On March 28th, 1997, Danshui Station-Zhongshan Station and Xinbeitou Branch Line of Danshui Line were opened to traffic; In the same year, the Tamsui Line was opened to traffic at Taipei Station on February 25th, 65438. Because the East-West Nangang Line was completed and opened to traffic late, the Muka Line and the North-South Line of Danshui Line were independent and could not be transferred by MRT, so the system at that time was dubbed "Chopsticks Road Network". At one time, the relevant units intended to let Taipei Station-Xiao Zhong Fuxing Station section of Nangang Line open to traffic first, but considering that the original planned opening time may be delayed by up to one year, and it can only be operated during peak hours, they finally decided to use bus connection. On February 26th, 1997, 1997, the municipal government opened the free bus service of MRT, which was operated by Taipei Bus Management Office and ran between Taipei Main Station and Xiao Zhong Fuxing Station. 1May 5, 998, due to financial problems, the Blue Line Municipal Government Station-Longshansi Station was shut down before it was opened to traffic.
1998 65438+On February 24th, the Taipei Main Station-Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall section of Danshui Line, Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall-Gu Ting section of Xindian Line and Zhonghe Line were completed and opened to traffic. At this time, the Zhonghe Line temporarily operated directly with Xindian Line and Danshui Line until Dongmen Station was completed and opened to traffic on September 30, 20 12.
1999165438+1October 1 1, the southern section of Xindian Line was opened to traffic. At this time, the driving mode of "Danshui-Nanshijiao" was changed to "Danshui-Xindian" and "Beitou-Nanshijiao".
199965438+On February 24th, 2009, after the Bannan Line (from the municipal government station to the Longshansi station) was opened to traffic, together with other lines that have been opened to traffic, it formed a "Shu"-shaped road network, that is, the "Double Ten Road Network". Taipei main station and Xiao Zhong Fuxing Station have thus become the most important transfer stations.
On August 3rd, 2000, the local extension of Bannan Line (Longshansi Station to Xinpu Station) and Xiaonanmen Line were opened to traffic.
On June 30th, 2000, 65438+February, the entire Nangang Line (from the municipal government station to Kunyang station) was opened to traffic.
Since the opening of 1997 on March 28th, Danshui Line has formed an independent line with Muka Line, both of which are MRT, but they are not connected with each other. This situation did not end until the opening of the Bannan Line on February 24th, 1999. On September 29th, 2004, Xiaobitan Branch Line was completed and opened to traffic. It takes 5 minutes to take the MRT from Little Bitan Station to Zhang Qi Station and then transfer to Xindian Line, which will extend the MRT network by 1.9 km and increase the total operating length to 69. 1 km. Further develop and integrate the water leisure areas along the Xihe River in Xindian and Binhe Park west of He Huan Expressway.
On March 28th, 2006, we celebrated the opening anniversary of Taipei MRT 10, and held the anniversary celebration of Taipei MRT 10 and the exhibition tour of Beitou Machinery Factory. In addition to reviewing the growth process of MRT 10 anniversary, it also shows R&D center, lightning butt welding car, heavy rail maintenance car, platform door and new electric car. In addition, a series of "10th Anniversary Celebrations" have been launched, such as painting buses, issuing tickets for the 10th anniversary of the opening of Mucha Line, and holding "10th Anniversary Celebrations".
On May 3rd, 2006, KLOC-0, the second phase extension line of the South Line of the MRT was completed and opened to traffic, with a total length of 7.2km.. The terminal of Bannan Line is moved from Xinpu Station to Yongning Station, and it takes only 23 minutes from Yongning Station to Taipei Station, which greatly shortens the distance between Taipei, Banqiao and Tucheng.
On February 25, 2008, Nangang Station 65438 in the east extension of Nangang Line was opened to traffic, and the train was opened at 2 pm (Kunyang Station-Nangang Station). The operating length of Taipei MRT increased by1.4km, with a total operating length of 75.8km.. Due to various factors affecting the progress of the project, the Neihu Line, which started construction in May 2002, was finally opened to traffic on July 4, 2009, with an increased operating length of 14.7 km and a total operating length of 90.5 km. Neihu Line has become the first MRT line in Taipei to pass through the airport, and also closely connects Neihu Science Park, Nangang Software Park, Nangang Exhibition Hall and Songshan Airport. On June 5438+1October 8, 2009, this line was formally merged with Muka Line, renamed Wenshan Neihu Line (referred to as Wenhu Line), and the color of the line was still brown.
2010165438+1at 2: 00 pm on October 3rd, the Luzhou Line and the Taipei section of Xinzhuang Line (Daqiaotou-Xiao Zhong Xinsheng) connecting this line were officially opened to traffic, becoming the first MRT line across Danshui River. The two lines add up to *** 1 1 station, with a total length of 12.5 km, and the total length of the line increases to 105.4 km. It only takes 12 minutes from Luzhou Station to Quan Min West Road Station, and the distance between Taipei City and New Taipei City is greatly shortened. Taipei Mayor Hao Longbin said that the Xinzhuang Line has been opened to traffic in sections. The official opening of Luzhou Line represents the elevation of Taipei MRT from the level of general rail transit benchmarking alliance (Nova) to the community of Metros (CoMET). The dividing line between these two alliances is 500 million passengers per year, which is similar to the subway systems in international cities such as Beijing, Hongkong, Shanghai, Berlin, new york, London, Paris and Moscow. On February 27th, 20 1 1, Nangang Exhibition Hall Station in the east extension of Nangang Line was officially opened to traffic, and Taipei MRT announced that it was expected to be officially promoted from Nova member to comet member in September of the same year. On 20 12 1.5, the line from Dafu to Qiaotou Xinzhuang was officially opened to traffic, becoming the second MRT line across Danshui River, and the Luzhou line was renamed as Xinlu Line.
On September 30th, 20 12 Dongmen Station was opened to traffic, and the Xinzhuang line from Xiaozhong Xinsheng to Gu Ting was officially put into operation. At the same time, the neutralization line is connected with the new land line, and the name of the new land line is changed to the neutralization new land line again. Zhonghe Line and Danshui Line are no longer connected, so the original "Beitou-Nanshijiao" section was cancelled. In order to make up for the transportation capacity of Beitou-Gu Ting section, and there is a bag-shaped track behind the station of Taipower Building, the "Beitou-Taipower Building" section car is added. After that, the shift distance of the neutral line was increased to three minutes. In the middle volume system, the trains on the Wenzhou-Shanghai line adopt rubber-tyred system and run on the special track of rubber-tyred system. The loop train adopts steel wheel-rail system, and the gauge adopts standard rail.
Medium tire system
VAL256 electric locomotive, electromechanical and signal system are designed and manufactured by French company Matra. However, after the contract dispute between Matra and MRT occurred in 1997, all technicians were evacuated and no maintenance services were provided. And its transportation department has been acquired by Siemens, and the maintenance service is provided by Siemens. Since July 4th, 2009, Bombardier's electric locomotive, electromechanical and signal system have been used in medium-capacity trains.
Trains are grouped into a pair of two cars, two pairs of four cars in a row, but they are not fixed. In the future, the demand for visible traffic will increase to three pairs. Automatic driving and computer control are adopted, and the train is not equipped with drivers.
Rubber tire system problem
The rubber-tyred system of global rail transit is patented by various design and manufacturing companies, and has not been integrated internationally, so there is a problem of system compatibility among companies. Therefore, there have never been two successful cases of integrating rubber-tyred systems in the world. Wenshan Neihu Line has realized system integration by replacing Matra system with Bombardier system. In addition, there are few rubber-tyred systems with a length of more than 20 kilometers in the world, and most of them are used for communication between airports and docks or short-distance feeder transportation in urban areas.
The VAL system of Matera Company of France was originally used in Wenshan Line, and the track of Muka Line of Matera Company was designed as cement pavement.
Neihu Line is the CITYFLO650 system of Bombardier Company in Canada. Bombardier's own professional track design is the rail steel wheel system. For the first time, the company manufactured rubber tire CBTC (Communication Traffic Control) system for Neihu Line. The track of Neihu Line is designed as steel plate pavement. In order to connect the two lines, the original line was changed to this system on July 4, 2009, and the original train was changed to 10 on February 26, 2065438+00, and the new and old trains were mixed, shortening the train interval.
Medium-sized steel wheel-rail system
Ansaldo won the bid for the loop line, which adopts an "open" wireless transmission system and is compatible with different manufacturers. Using the unmanned rapid transit system adopted in Copenhagen subway, each energy-saving car can also communicate with each other. Electric vehicles have barrier-free space lanes specially designed for strollers and wheelchairs, and some vehicles are considered to be equipped with folding seats to diversify the vehicle space to cope with peak hours and off-peak hours. In the ring steel wheel-rail system, the vehicle size is 17m×2.65m×3.6m (length× width× height), and the total length of the train is about 68m. Each train has 4 carriages, and a total of 17 electric trains are purchased. Each train can carry 650 passengers, and there are workshop walkways between carriages to facilitate passengers' passage. The maximum running speed of the vehicle is 80km, and the minimum interval is 90 seconds. The third rail is used for power supply, and the train propulsion system has regenerative electric braking function. In the part of large-capacity system, the train uses steel wheels and runs on the rails with standard gauge. At present, Taipei MRT has four types of large-capacity trains: Model 30 1 and Model 37 1 are manufactured by Kawasaki Heavy Industries of Japan (the nominal manufacturer of Model 30 1 is the American Railway Locomotive Group (URC), a subsidiary of Kawasaki Heavy Industries, but the manufacturers in the train are listed as Kawasaki Heavy Industries and URC); Models 32 1 and 34 1 are made by Siemens AG. These types of trains can run on all high-volume lines that have been opened to traffic.
Trains are organized in groups of three, with two groups of six cars in a row; The trains on Xinbeitou branch line and Xiaobitan branch line are in a single group with three trains. At the initial stage of operation, both feeder lines consisted of six carriages, but the new Beitou feeder line was later changed to three carriages because of traffic volume and noise problems; Because of the lack of platform length, Xiaobitan branch line only uses three carriages to carry passengers, and it will not be enough until three trains are purchased. Although ATO is used, it is still equipped with a driver (usually a driver, but in some cases, for example, a short U-turn time is arranged, or a U-turn is needed at the crossing line, and there are no trains nearby to send a U-turn driver. In order to save turnaround time, two drivers will be equipped, and they can start immediately without waiting for the driver to change lanes.
