Serving the transportation need of the towns and villages along the routes, the roads and MRT lines have beneficially and necessarily incorporated multiple stops and some detours along their routes. This can be augmented by a bypass GRT linkage involving shorter time for direct travels from the city center to Conghua and other parts of Guangzhou\u2019s eastern tourism zone. \u00a0Such a flexible-travel supplementary linkage should best be planned with minimum impact on existing developments of the city while tapping on the beauty of the eastern tourism zone, at the same time closing the capacity gap of the subway MRT lines and roads which are being planned and undergoing construction. In view of\u00a0the traditional difficulties faced in the construction of\u00a0new roads, and with reference to the main\u00a0smart public\u00a0transportation\u00a0systems that are now increasingly being explored internationally, it is proposed to adopt GRT\u00a0as\u00a0a fast-track supplementary public transportation modality for Guangzhou\u2019s eastern tourism region. The first dedicated route proposed is that linking Conghua District to Guangzhou\u2019s Centre\/Tianhe District, traversing via the five tourism destinations of Hualu Hill, Tianlu Lake, Maofeng Hill, Knowledge City and Conghua\u2019s Spa Town (as demarcated by the green line in Fig 3 and Fig 6). This can in due course be expanded into an effective supplementary future public transport system, with full consideration given to well-conceived linkages to the subway MRT networks connections via aptly-positioned GRT\/MRT interexchange stations for efficient public travels within each of the connected regions.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1522238145310{padding-top: 60px !important;padding-right: 50px !important;padding-left: 50px !important;}” offset=”vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-12″]

Smart Driverless Public Transportation Plan of Guangzhou<\/h2>
<\/div><\/div>
Constructing GRT systems to ease traffic congestion is an innovative step in the progressive development and maturation process of the application of smart driverless automation-guided technology.<\/h6><\/header>[vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_single_image image=”6586″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]The initial section of this proposed GRP route to be considered is that connecting Knowledge City to Tianhe North Central District (demarcated by the continuous bright green line in Fig 6). At Knowledge City, this GRP will be linked to the Knowledge City Subway MRT Line (branch of Subway MRT Line 14, shown in light grey in Fig 6) via an interchange at Knowledge City MRT Station. From Knowledge City, it will be routed directly towards Phase II Tianhe Section of Huanan Expressway (the rear entrance of South China Botanical Garden), and then bifurcates towards two separate destinations, viz the Tianhe Coach Terminal Station via North-Ring\u00a0Expressway and the Guangzhou East Station via Guangyuan Expressway. Within the Knowledge City itself, passengers will travel by the Knowledge City Subway MRT Line (now under construction along Jiulong Road), which will in turn be linked to the Baiyun Airport, Zhenlong and various parts of the Eastern Guangzhou City via the connecting subway MRT lines. The functional complement between the direct GRP Line (involving few quick destinations) and the subway MRT networks (encompassing comprehensive coverage) will mutually enhance the investment economy, usage efficiency and facility design rationality of both systems. In addition to providing needed coverage and travel flexibility of the population, this GRP\/MRT configuration will facilitate high-efficiency usage of the underground space along the Knowledge City Subway MRT Line and also strengthen the efficacy of Knowledge City as the core for propagating future development of the Eastern New City Hub. These routes\u00a0fundamentally avoid the\u00a0major\u00a0power lines,\u00a0houses,\u00a0schools, factories\u00a0and lands\u00a0under designated plans (other than some appropriate\u00a0adjustments\u00a0needed for the Longdong area).<\/p>\n

Along this route, the CongHua \u2013 Knowledge Ctiy \u2013 Huolu\u00a0Hill section passes through mainly green aesthetic landscapes, while the section after entering Huanan Expressway opens up to clear broad and long views, looking far towards the Tianhe District, Pearl River\u00a0New City, and other major landmarks. It is pervaded by an invigorating\u00a0sightseeing\u00a0atmosphere. And it will be\u00a0Guangzhou’s first dedicated public transport route featuring special tourism\u00a0interests, as well as a supplementary access serving the public transport needs from Guangzhou\u2019s city center traversing the entire eastern tourism zone.\u00a0Significantly, this focuses well on resolving the\u00a0public transport challenges of the city\u2019s tourism as well as enhancing the public transport efficiency essential for the smooth implementation of Guangzhou\u2019s\u00a0Eastern Expansion Strategy. In turns, it also effectively clears\u00a0the\u00a0over-intensification of people movements and traffic distribution of Guangzhou\u00a0City\u2019s trunk roads. \u00a0This will help enable the effective realization of Guangzhou\u2019s long-term\u00a0urban development strategy\u00a0in\u00a0optimizing its distribution layouts and overall development\u00a0coordination.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At a later stage in tandem with the expectedly rapid growth of the eastern townships and population nodes, this dedicated GRP Line can be augmented by local GRT\/PRT circuits within each of the townships (such as the Knowledge City) and population nodes. These local GRT\/PRT circuits will naturally have to be planned and implemented in integration with the township landscape (for aesthetic harmony) and its local transportation (for seamless interface).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Phrase Two” tab_id=”1515088440909-fd412287-d84e”][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1515772446994{padding-top: 70px !important;padding-bottom: 100px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1522238153686{padding-right: 45px !important;padding-left: 45px !important;}” offset=”vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-12″][vc_single_image image=”6588″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1522238160794{padding-top: 60px !important;padding-right: 50px !important;padding-left: 50px !important;}” offset=”vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-12″]

The planning of this GRT route takes into consideration not only the diffusion of traffic congestion, but also their functional suitability and practicality, including their locations and connectivity to complement the transit bus routes and subway MRT networks. The GRT station locations in the current proposal has also taken into consideration the preliminary assessments of construction spaces, the required steady traffic volumes to be catered, and the needs for transport interchanges to facilitate distribution and collation of passengers through the subway MRT network. The specifics of station designs, traffic connection, passengers volume forecasting and other details will be addressed in the comprehensive in-depth project works which will be further guided by analysis of passenger activities and traffic flows. This route traverses the green tourism zone between the two major transportation interchanges of city center and Conghua District.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”6584″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”6585″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
