China News Service, April 17 (Xinhua) The website of the National Development and Reform Commission recently released the "Opinions of the National Development and Reform Commission on Promoting Rail Transit at Hub Airports" (hereinafter referred to as "Opinions"). The "Opinions" require that hub airports be connected to rail transit, improve travel convenience, simplify transfer links, optimize check-in, baggage check-in and other services at urban terminals of rail transit stations, promote mutual recognition of rail transit and airport security, and provide convenient Transfer service. Innovate services, develop air-rail combined transportation products, research and introduce flexible measures such as one ticket to the end, and multiple fare mechanisms to facilitate passengers' travel choices.
The "Opinions" require that the airport and mainline railways, intercity railways, city (suburban) railways, and urban rail transit be effectively connected to fully tap the potential of the airport in the comprehensive transportation system. Achieve all-round connectivity between the airport and rail transportation hardware and software facilities, and improve the operational efficiency and service level of the airport rail transportation system. Promote the informatization and intelligent development of rail transit, and build a smart operation and smart service system.
In terms of strengthening planning and guidance, the "Opinions" require that scientific planning of airport rail transit collection and transportation systems should be planned. The national railway network, intercity railway network, city (suburban) railway, urban rail transit planning and airport layout planning should be strengthened to promote the integration of various transportation plans. Those who do not have the conditions for the time being should reserve conditions such as construction land and space.
At the same time, according to the needs of airport passenger distribution and related planning and construction, etc., it is recommended to classify airports with different functional positioning and different scales. Cities with multiple airports in one city should be positioned according to the function of the hub airport, taking into full consideration the air passenger and cargo transit needs and overflow acceptance.
In terms of strengthening construction cooperation, the "Opinions" require that the relationship between economic benefits and access timing be properly handled, that the preliminary work of the project be carried out in an orderly manner, and that the start time of the airport rail transit system be determined as a whole. When the airport passenger flow and construction conditions meet the relevant requirements, accelerate the construction of the airport rail transit system. Hub airports that need to connect mainline railways or intercity railways should make full use of the corresponding railway construction opportunities, increase coordination, and introduce them into airports in due course.
At the same time, strengthen construction management collaboration, promote the rationalization of the management interface, strengthen communication and coordination, and jointly promote the construction of airport rail transit. Simultaneously constructing the airport and rail transit system must do a good job of coordination and coordination of construction work; among projects that are not synchronized, the construction conditions must be reserved for each other. In the construction process, the needs of passenger travel and operation management should be fully considered, and the convenient transfer between rail transit and the airport should be emphasized to minimize the transfer distance and achieve seamless connection.
In addition, strengthen the mutual recognition or unification of the construction system, specifications, standards, etc. of the interface between the airport project and the rail transit project to provide technical support for the full connection between the airport project and the rail project. Study and formulate standards and specifications for the design and construction of cost-effective interface parts to promote the construction of airport rail transit.
In terms of improving the level of operation, the "Opinions" require improved travel convenience, simplified transfer links, optimized check-in, luggage check-in and other services at urban terminals of rail transit stations, promoting mutual recognition of rail transit and airport security, and providing convenient interchange Ride service. Innovate services, develop air-rail combined transportation products, research and introduce flexible measures such as one ticket to the end, and multiple fare mechanisms to facilitate passengers' travel choices.
