Peninsula all-media reporter Guo Zhenliang

Near the end of the year, Qingdao Metro construction has spread a number of good news. On December 7, Qingdao held a press conference on "comprehensively accelerating the construction of Qingdao rail transit line network", according to the plan, the southern section of Qingdao Metro Line 1, which is currently most concerned by the public, will be officially opened before the end of the year, and groups and citizens will be organized to carry out test ride experience activities before the opening; at the same time, before the end of this year, the start of construction of line 2, line 5 and line 7 will be realized, creating a Qingdao speed of "declared in the same year, approved in the same year, and started in the same year".

【Expectation】

A month in advance! The southern section of Line 1 will be officially opened to traffic before the end of the year

Qingdao Metro Line 1 is a major project of the province, but also a subway line of great concern to Qingdao citizens, Line 1 is in a north-south direction, with a total length of 60 kilometers, 41 stations, the line starts from Wangjiagang Station in the West Coast New Area, and ends at Dongguozhuang Station in Chengyang District. The line was opened in two sections, of which the northern section of Line 1 was opened to traffic on December 24, 2020 (i.e. Qingdao North Railway Station to Dongguozhuang Station). The southern section of Line 1 is currently undergoing trial operation, and the preparations are basically ready, and some pre-trial review will be carried out this month.

Metro Line 1, as a backbone line connecting the West Coast New Area and the main urban area of Qingdao, crosses the sea through Jiaozhou Bay, and its opening from Tuandao Station to Phoenix Island Station in the West Coast New Area takes only 6 minutes to cross Jiaozhou Bay, and the distance between the west coast and the east coast is no longer far away. The opening of Line 1 is of great strategic significance for supporting urban development and creating a 1-hour traffic circle in Jiaodong. Line 1 connects the west coast Changjiang Road, Shinan Zhongshan Road, Shibei Taitung, Sifang Liqun, Licang, Chengyang and other commercial circles and connects important transportation hubs such as Qingdao Railway Station, Qingdao North Railway Station and North Bus Station, which can greatly alleviate traffic congestion, improve urban quality, facilitate citizens' travel, and will bring positive effects to Qingdao's global development and improve urban quality, further enhance qingdao's international urban life quality, and make Qingdao more vibrant, powerful and unique.

Zhang Jun, deputy secretary of the party committee and deputy general manager of Qingdao Metro Group, said at the press conference: "With the strong support of the general public, with the full cooperation of the district government and relevant government departments along the line, all the subway people worked day and night, and this line will be opened at the end of this year, one month earlier than the original plan." ”

【Test Ride】

Before the opening of the whole network to test ride, test ride tickets so grab

In order to let the general public experience the convenience and speed brought by the opening of the entire line of Metro Line 1 in advance and feel the fresh charm in advance, Qingdao Metro plans to carry out test rides before the official opening of the line.

How is this test ride different from the past? Zhang Jun, deputy secretary of the party committee and deputy general manager of Qingdao Metro Group, said that the first is to expand the scope and test ride on the whole network. Line 1 as long as there is a test ticket, you can get on the train at all stations on the network to experience Line 1. Second, the form is diverse, easy to participate, the test ride activities are divided into two stages, one is the group test ride, mainly facing some communities along the line, schools in the construction process of Line 1 everyone has made a lot of efforts to engage in group test ride. At the same time, Qingdao Metro will also send special trains for sanitation workers and volunteers, which will reflect some warmth of the city for those who have contributed to the city. In addition, there are personal test rides, divided into offline and online two ways to obtain test ride tickets, offline distribution, online to take the form of application, online mainly through the subway APP, subway public number, subway mini program, etc., the specific access time, access methods and some detailed provisions of the test ride, Qingdao Metro will be released to the media in time. The third is one ticket access, round-trip worry-free. This test ride experience is different from the way of boarding the operated routes, no need to buy tickets, no need to swipe the card to enter and exit the gate. Citizens participating in the test ride will have a round-trip test ride experience according to the group reservation time or the time marked by the test ride ticket.

In addition, Qingdao Metro also reminds everyone that because of the requirements of epidemic prevention and control, in order to ensure the safe, smooth and orderly conduct of the test ride, the test ride activity controls the total number of people, and the citizens participating in the test ride need to show the health code before entering the station, cooperate with the test questions, and wear masks throughout the process. In addition, during the test ride, Qingdao Metro will also issue questionnaires, and I also hope that citizens and friends will give more valuable advice, and the city subway will be built together, and I hope that everyone will work together to build and operate the Qingdao Metro better and better.

Promote the third phase of planning to tackle tough problems, and the construction of three lines will begin before the end of the year

In September this year, the third phase of Qingdao's construction plan was officially approved, with a total of 7 lines and 139 kilometers, with a total investment of about 100 billion yuan. At present, with the strong support and assistance of the relevant municipal departments and district and municipal governments, Qingdao Metro is making every effort to promote the preparation for the start of the third phase, and realize the start of construction of Line 2, Line 5 and Line 7 before the end of this year, creating a Qingdao speed of "declared in the same year, approved in the same year, and started in the same year".

Zhang Jiangang, director of the office of the Qingdao Metro Engineering Construction Headquarters, secretary of the party committee and chairman of the board of directors of Qingdao Metro Group, said: "In March and June next year, the other four lines have also started construction, we have been approved from September, before the end of June next year, within 9 months, this speed we think may now be the first speed in China." In the follow-up, we will continue to strengthen construction management around the four major elements of 'quality, safety, effectiveness and efficiency', accelerate the construction progress of the third phase of the line, and strive to build early, put into use and benefit from the third phase of planning. ”

At the same time, combined with the construction of the third phase, we will actively promote the creation of a "subway +" three-dimensional large transportation system, and establish a scientific, reasonable, systematic, comprehensive and efficient top-level public transportation system with "subway + railway", "subway + car", "subway + bus", "subway + slow travel", and build the entire bus into a system. After the completion of the third phase of the line, the total mileage of the subway operation line network will reach 503 kilometers, and through the layout of the "subway +" large three-dimensional bus, the average daily passenger traffic is expected to reach 5 million passengers, truly realizing the empowerment of the subway for the city and strongly supporting the spatial structure of the "one main, three vice and two cities" urban area.

Launched TOD development to create a 10-minute livable and workable vitality circle

TOD refers to the urban space development model oriented by public transportation and is an important direction for urban renewal. Through the integrated development of the area with the rail transit station as the core, the urban area center integrating commercial, commercial, residential, ecological, public service and other functions has become recognized as the most intensive and efficient urban development model.

TOD can make cities more efficient, land more intensive, travel more convenient, more complete facilities, more comfortable living, and cheaper costs. Especially for Qingdao, the "fan-shaped" urban configuration around the bay leads to "the concentration of the south and the dispersion of the north", the 45-minute commuting circle is small, and the traffic "double carbon" index is higher. Now, to solve the disease of big cities, building a "subway city" on rail transit is the best choice.

At present, Qingdao Metro and relevant municipal departments, district and municipal governments have joined hands to launch the top-level planning work such as Qingdao TOD strategic planning and special planning for land development and utilization along the line, clarified the "three-level and four-category" development model, established a "21+N" key project database, and established a "five-in-one" joint development system of subway group, district and city platform, top planning, leading development, and central enterprise construction, covering the whole life cycle of "three-level linkage" of first-level land consolidation + second-level project development + three-level project operation. With market-oriented operation to ensure the high quality of the project.

In the next step, Qingdao Metro will accelerate the operation of the project in accordance with the four principles of "advance planning, system planning, accurate design, and functional compounding" and achieve the goal of driving investment of more than 100 billion yuan. At the same time, based on the concept of "creating a 10-minute livable and livable vitality circle", do a good job in planning and researching project space, format, industry, environment, transportation, etc., build each TOD project into a micro-urban system with a high degree of integration of "production, life and ecology", build a "metro new city", attract more people to work and live on both sides of the subway, realize intensive land utilization, make urban development more efficient, run more low-carbon, make people travel more conveniently, and live more comfortably.

"Double carbon" strategy strives to achieve energy saving and consumption reduction of 40%

"Double carbon" has become a consensus for development, in order to implement the national "double carbon" strategy and provincial and municipal energy development plans, Qingdao Metro set up a "double carbon" work class, the overall study and promotion of urban rail transit construction and operation in all fields, each link of the "double carbon" work, and adopted a series of energy-saving and consumption-reducing measures, has achieved certain results.

First, technical energy saving, the promotion and application of 36 sets of regenerative braking energy absorption devices, the annual energy saving of more than 9 million degrees; the pilot application of intelligent lighting, magnetic levitation evaporation cooling, permanent magnet motor, heat pump recovery and other energy-saving new technologies, for the subsequent large-scale application has accumulated experience. The second is to manage energy conservation, issued energy management regulations, service equipment energy conservation operation specifications, the introduction of contract energy management mechanism, fine control of lighting, ventilation and air conditioning, escalators and other high-energy-consuming equipment, the annual energy saving of more than 21 million degrees.

In the next step, Qingdao Metro will accelerate the promotion of the double-carbon strategy "Green Railway" program from two aspects and create a green metro Qingdao model. In terms of innovation, the top scientific research institutes and industry leaders in the United Nations have set up energy-saving innovation engineering research centers to accelerate the technological innovation and industrialization of achievements in energy conservation and consumption reduction; in terms of power generation, we will make every effort to promote clean energy such as hydrogen power generation and photovoltaic power generation, and strive to achieve 30% power saving, 10% new energy power generation, and achieve the goal of energy conservation and consumption reduction of 40%, contributing to Qingdao's realization of the "double carbon" goal.

Zhang Jiangang, director of the office of the Qingdao Metro Engineering Construction Headquarters, secretary of the party committee and chairman of the Board of Directors of Qingdao Metro Group, said that in order to fight the three major battles, build the Qingdao metro, and make the Qingdao metro industry bigger and stronger, Qingdao Metro is working with the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology to step up preparations for the "Qingdao Rail Transit Industry Cluster Development Conference and Qingdao Metro Industry Cooperation Promotion Conference", widely distribute "hero posts", look for subway construction fellow travelers, and help the city's 100-billion-level rail transit ecosystem. At the meeting, Qingdao Metro issued a sincere invitation to Qingdao local enterprises and foreign enterprises to participate in the construction of Qingdao Metro.
