Transportation Plan for Express Railway Passenger Stations in Wenchuan Seismic Reconstruction

Abstract

After the Wenchuan Earthquake, the Chengguan express railway was built to improve reconstruction efforts in seismic areas. Due to the low passenger flow in this area, the scales of the passenger stations are relatively small. However, it is still difficult to organize the space of the stations as a result of financial limitations in seismic areas. The entire line was elevated and will be operated as part of the transit system in the Chengdu municipality, making it more difficult to organize transportation. Taking the Pengzhou passenger station as an example, the function and the traffic demand forecast of the station area is studied, and a method to organize the transportation is also presented. In conclusion, it is proven that the key point is to make good use of the space under the elevated line. Based on this, several suggestions are made regarding how to plan the area of transportation space and manage the microcirculation system.
