Beijing subway replaces the soft diversion fence, the current limit fence outside the station will still be retained
Recently, the Beijing subway has begun to remove some of the diversion fence facilities. The reporter learned this morning that some of the hard diversion fences will be replaced with soft diversion fences such as telescopic belts. In order to control the speed of passenger flow into the station, the diversion fence set outside the subway station will continue to be retained in the future.
Around 2010, passenger traffic in the Beijing subway increased rapidly year by year, and many subway stations had to set up diversion fences to control the short-term gathering of people. However, with the improvement of the civilized quality of passengers and the improvement of subway transportation capacity, the necessity of setting up diversion fences gradually decreased.
Today's morning peak, the reporter saw at Line 1 Dongdan Station that the diversion belt originally located at the security gate has been replaced with a blue telescopic pull strap, which is more beautiful than the stainless steel diversion fence used previously. The staff introduced that during the peak period, these telescopic belts can be easily retracted and placed in a position that does not hinder the passage of passengers, reducing passengers' detours.
At Sihui Station, the removed diversion fences were placed together and waited for transportation. The reporter noticed that after the diversion fence was removed, the ground of the station has been repaired and filled, but a closer look can still see traces. Ren Linli, head of the station area of Sihui Station District, introduced that after the diversion fence is removed, the station will use soft diversion belts for dredging when encountering emergencies, and the station staff located throughout the station will also strengthen passenger flow monitoring. When large passenger flow will be conducted in time.
After sorting out and checking the subway, a total of more than 20,000 meters of diversion fences have been set up in the subway station. The total length of the demolition fences currently removed has reached 12,280 meters. If these dismantled diversion fences are lined up, they can extend from the Yongding Gate at the southern end of the central axis to Beitucheng outside the North Third Ring Road.
Demolition of the fence can facilitate the travel of the public, but those who can and cannot be removed require a strict safety assessment. Xu Jun, director of the Beijing Metro Operation Service Management Department, said that the diversion fences currently being dismantled are mainly distributed at security checkpoints, interchange passages, and locations where passengers are easily concentrated. "Like the old stations on Lines 1 and 2, passengers entering the station are likely to gather at the stairs at both ends of the platform. If there is no diversion fence, it will affect the stopping time of the train. Now these diversion fences that cannot be moved All were replaced with soft diversion fences. During the peak period, the telescopic belt was pulled up to control the flow of people. During the peak period, the passengers can be put away for convenience, and they are more flexible to use."
According to Xu Jun, apart from the need for retaining diversion fences at some stations with large passenger flows and some interchange passages, the diversion fences currently installed outside subway stations will continue to be retained. "The morning and evening peaks of the Beijing subway are prominent. The peak four-hour passenger traffic accounts for 46% of the day's total passenger traffic. Some stations in the suburbs need to normalize the current limit. In order to control the speed of passenger flow, these higher full load rates The station will still retain the diversion fence outside the station."
