Abstract

Recently, subway has become the major part of urban transportation. Rapid development of economy in China has spurred and accelerated the urban traffic congestion problem. With lots of people migrating into large and medium cities, the previous existing urban transportation hardly meets the demand of the population expansion and urban sprawl. The subway system brings free-flow traffic at all times and realizes multidimensional space traffic to make faster modernization of urban development. At present, many large modern cities have interlaced the heartland by subways, such as Shanghai, Nanjing, and Shenzhen. A large number of medium cities are constructing subway systems. Even some small cities are applying for subway construction to alleviate the traffic jam. Hereby, the subway construction has a really great prospective.
