A Study on the current situations of underground MRT platform exits and enterances
Taking Bannan Line, from Kunyang station to Xinpu station, as the example.
Abstracts
Since the end of World War Second, the soaring growth of perosnal automobiles coupled with the limited available spaces in most metropolises around the worldl has led to some terrible traffic problems,such as congestion,lack of parking lots,air pollution and so on. Besides, some problems get worse and even put a hamper on metropolitan development. To improve these sitautions has been one of the major issues to most of the municipalities.Considering the safety,efficiency and capacity, the MRT System has been one of the most palatable solutions to these traffic problems.
The planning and design of underground MRT platform exits and entrances has long been full of controversies due to the opinion collisions among people.As the aforementioned, we’ve well understoond the importance and complexities of the planning and design of underground MRT platform exits and entrances while making the study.Yet the planning and design of underground MRT platform exits and entrances is full of complexities and gets,besides the related government office branches and construction consulting firms, lots of experts,local opinion leaders and people involved in. And finally,the estimation reports coming from the construction units responsible for the project are the must-have process.Really a project on grand scale !
Taipei MRT System Company has been in such kind of planning and design for Taipei MRT System bases since 1988, knowing well how crucial it is to correctly apply the precious data and experience coming from lot of analyses and studies to the real pratices for such a big and important project.Usually the conclusions are drawn from the detailed analysis, which involved in the interviews with the experts, reserching,surveying and studying on the spot and the references to related reports, records and so on. The major conclusions are as follows :
1.The planning and desgin of underground MRT platform exits and extrances must get the opinios of the public. Then integrate these opinions with the related construction units.
With that well done, the planning and desgin results will get closer to the real needs of the public,making us know which exits and ecxtrances on planning will be more highly accepted by the public.
2.The planning and design of the exits and extrances must fully consider the traffic convenience and regard it as the ultimate judgment.
Although the planning and design of the exits and extrances involves lots of deeper concerns and layers, people still regard the traffic convenience as the top priority; this opinion must not be ignored and have to be dealt with carefully!
3.Developing the specialities among different areas.
Nowadays,most people have the same sense that the public projects not only must be the landmarks, but also stand for or work with the specialities of the places where they live to show the best of the local area. This is a goal needing everyone to put efforts and unite consensus for.
4.No sunlight and rain.
In Taiwan, the climate is often variable; we must consider this fact carefully while planning the project. By doing so, the public will be no doubt more willing to support the project.
5.Reduce the exits and enterances of sideways and encourge the collaboration between the public and the related units for the project.
According to some studies, most of the people living along the MRT buildings usually show a stronger positive reponse to join venture proposal than people not living along the MRT buildings. The related government office branches or construction units should take advantage of this and try to develop palatable strategies to appeal more people to sink in join venture for a better living standard.
