Abstract:

As the urban rail transit network continues to expand, the number of transfer Metro stations is increasing. The design of the Metro stations that transfer with the current or shortterm Metro stations is in detail, however, due to the lagging of the plan of the Metro networks, the study on the Metro stations that transfer with longterm Metro stations is inadequate. The positions and preserved transfer modes of the current Metro stations have direct influence on the arrangement and functions of longterm transfer stations. In the paper, the types and features of doubletrack Metro stations that transfer with longterm Metro stations are discussed, and case study is made on Puhuangyu station and Weixingguangchang station of Beijing Metro. It is suggested that, in the design of longterm transfer Metro stations, special attention should be paid to such issues as Metro network planning, Metro station siting and transfer node preservation.

Key words: Beijing Metro, transfer station in long term, transfer type, transfer node
