Approaches to Emergency Response Efficiency Enhancement in Urban Rail Transit FAO System
Journal Title: Urban Mass Transit - Year 2024, Vol 27, Issue 11
Abstract
Objective The high level of automation and complexity in urban rail transit FAO (fully automatic operation) systems brings challenges in fault and emergency handling. Inefficient emergency response can lead to metro train delays, endanger passenger safety, seriously affect the passengers′ timely travel needs. Thus, it is crucial to explore methods to improve emergency response efficiency. Method Using Shanghai Rail Transit Line 15 as an example, starting from emergency scenarios on FAO lines, the factors affecting emergency response efficiency are examined. The primary issues faced during emergency responses are analyzed in-depth. The comprehensive use of diverse training approaches, including theoretical simulations, practical training with simulators, technical drills, and cross-departmental fault joint drills is explored. Special emphasis is placed on the approach of integrated practical drills. Result & Conclusion Key issues in emergency response include inadequate familiarity of maintenance personnel with equipment and fault phenomena, lack of practical experience, poor inter-departmental communication, and unfamiliarity with information feedback and response processes. Through diverse training approaches, the average fault response time on Shanghai Rail Transit Line 15 is reduced from 27.2 minutes to 19.9 minutes. Regular simulation drills and practical training are effective ways for enhancing emergency response efficiency of maintenance personnel in FAO systems. These improvements are significant for ensuring urban rail transit operational safety and improving passenger service experiences.
