The number of subway trains in Shanghai exceeds 7,000 and the scale of the network is the largest in the world
Xinhua News Agency, Shanghai, December 25th (Reporter You Zhixin) On the afternoon of the 25th, with the appearance of the three newest fully autonomous trains at the Shanghai Metro Fengbang Base, the number of Shanghai Metro trains has officially entered a new era of 7,000.
On the 26th, the second phase of Shanghai Metro Line 10 and the southern section of the first phase of Line 18 will open for trial operation.
So far, Shanghai's urban rail transit vehicle ownership and network operation scale both rank first in the world.
Since the Shanghai Metro opened in 1993, it has been 27 years.
From the first train to the 7000th, it is not only a numerical increase, but also a qualitative leap.
Data from the Shanghai Metro show that the reliability of new cars on the Shanghai Metro in recent years is significantly higher than that of early cars.
Take the door as an example. In 2016, the total number of door failures on trains across the network exceeded 951. In 2020, when the number of trains across the network doubled, the total number of door failures dropped to 478, a drop of 49.7%.
In addition, subway trains have transitioned from the first-generation DC drive trains that were completely imported to the second-generation AC drive trains; from the third-generation domestic energy-saving and environmentally-friendly trains, they evolved to the fourth-generation standardized fully automated intelligent trains with independent design.
It is reported that the new rail transit lines to be opened or under construction in Shanghai basically adopt a high-level fully automatic driving mode: the light of the passenger compartment of Line 18 can automatically adjust the color temperature according to the environment, and a wireless charger for mobile phones is added in the compartment; Line 15 The train is equipped with obstacle detection, derailment detection and bow network detection systems; Line 14 under construction also adopts fully automatic driving technology, runs through the city center of Shanghai, and is a rail transit "artery" connecting the east and the west of Shanghai .
As of the end of the "13th Five-Year Plan", Shanghai Metro has built a city rail network with a total of 771 kilometers and a total of 459 stations. The entire network has more than 7,000 trains and has a daily passenger flow of over 10 million. It has become the world's largest super-large scale. The internet.
During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the Shanghai Metro will thoroughly implement the important concept of "People's City, People's City, People's City for the People" to meet the travel needs of citizens and passengers, by purchasing more trains, shortening the interval between trains, and extending the operating time. A series of measures continue to increase energy and efficiency, and continue to explore new areas such as digital transformation and smart metro.
