中小型城市建设单轨可行性探讨——以福建长汀为例

Feasibility study on the construction of monorail in small and medium-sized cities: A case study of Changting Fujian

建设城市轨道交通是缓解交通拥堵问题的有效途径,但地铁和轻轨建设及运营成本极高,中小型城市难以负荷,因此发展新型轨道交通具有重要意义。首先探讨单轨的特点及中小型城市建设单轨的必要性;然后根据国内外的运营实例,总结其网络布局的一般模式;最后以福建长汀为例,从交通需求、线路规划、工程实施3方面论证中小型城市建设单轨的可行性。结果表明:单轨在长汀有较好的适应性,其作为一种新型轨道交通在中小型城市也具有被广泛应用的可能性。

Urban rail transit construction is an effective way to alleviate traffic congestion,but the construction and operation costs of metro and light rail are extremely high,and it is diffi cult for small and medium-sized cities to bear and support,so it is of great significance to develop new rail transit.Firstly,this paper discusses the characteristics of monorail and the necessity of building monorail in small and medium-sized cities.Secondly,based on the operation examples at home and abroad,it summarizes the general mode of network layout.Finally,by taking Changting in Fujian as an example,it demonstrates the feasibility of building monorail in small and mediumsized cities from three aspects:traffic demand,route planning and project implementation.The results show that the monorail has better adaptability in Changting,and it has the possibility of being widely used as a new type of rail transit in medium and small cities.
