Beijing transport facilities carry severely negative

At the press conference held in Beijing on March 19th, the “Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Development Report (2013) published by the Social Science Literature Publishing House — bearing capacity measurement and countermeasures pointed out that traffic congestion has become a factor affecting Beijing’s urban operating efficiency and residents’ lives. The prominent problems, at the same time, the carrying capacity of Beijing's transportation infrastructure is seriously overloaded, and the traffic carrying capacity of the public transport system is saturated.

Due to the over-concentration of functions in Beijing and the “imbalance of employment and residence”, the traffic pressure in the downtown area is high, and the traffic flow in the tidal area is obvious. According to monitoring by the traffic management department of Beijing, the daily number of motor vehicles driving in the Second Ring Road has reached 915,000, making the Second Ring Road the most congested area in the city. Although comprehensive slow-moving measures such as shifting peaks and commuting measures have been implemented since April 2010, with the rapid growth of motor vehicle ownership, the traffic congestion in the central urban area has been normalized from the North Fifth Ring Road to the South Fourth Ring Road, and the scope of congestion has The slow-moving sections of the road show the tendency to expand along the intercity traffic to the surrounding cities. The main causes of traffic jams in Beijing are: high population density, rapid growth of vehicle ownership, high concentration of functional areas, unbalanced development of urban areas in North and South, high concentration of high-quality public resources such as school hospitals, and large deviations in employment and residence. The low density, three-dimensional capacity of fast roads, and non-travelling vehicles indiscriminately parking and occupying roads are also important reasons.

The report believes that if we simply compare the carrying capacity of transport infrastructure, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei ranks first among the three major metropolitan areas in China, the Yangtze River Delta ranks second, and the Pearl River Delta ranks third, while in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, it ranks again. First, but relative to the demand pressure of transportation facilities, Beijing's traffic capacity has been seriously overloaded. Since 2000, the number of motorized vehicles has grown rapidly (see Figure 4). The peak hour traffic volume of motor vehicles has exceeded the capacity of urban roads and the traffic carrying capacity of public transport systems has become saturated. According to the survey data provided in the “2012 Beijing Traffic Development Annual Report”, at the end of 2011, the number of public-rail (electric) buses in the 6th Ring Road was 1,126,000. Assuming that all buses (electric) buses run on the road every 5 minutes, the average number of trips each bus (electric) car takes during the morning rush hour is 135, even for large buses. A crowded feeling.
