What's the bicycle lane like in Xiamen?

The demonstration section of bicycle lane on Yunding Road in Xiamen recently started trial operation. This is the first bicycle lane in China and the longest bicycle lane in the world, which has attracted wide attention.

"The air bike lane is an independent riding system. The driveway adopts steel box girder structure, which is mainly arranged along both sides of Xiamen Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and overhangs the middle section of BRT. " The person in charge of Xiamen Public Bicycle Management Co., Ltd. introduced that the total length of the route is about 7.6 kilometers, with a total of 1 1 entrances, 3 intersections with footbridges and 7 platforms. "In addition to connecting with BRT, the demonstration section is also connected with 1 1 ordinary bus station, and will be connected with two subway stations after the completion of the subway in the future."

The entrance and exit of the bicycle lane in the air is divided into two roads, with bicycle traffic gates. Bicycle lanes in the air are only for bicycles, and motor vehicles, electric vehicles and pedestrians are prohibited. In view of this requirement, bicycle lanes can use a variety of sensing monitoring and other technical means to realize the rapid detection and identification of bicycles, electric vehicles and motorcycles, and ensure the rapid passage of bicycles in lanes.

There are 355 public bicycle parking spaces and 253 social bicycle parking spaces on the platform, and each platform is equipped with a vehicle dispatching elevator. No matter private bicycles, public bicycles or bicycle sharing, you can ride on the bicycle lane for free.

In the riding lane, the ground is divided into three areas, the riding area is chrome green, the buffer area is golden orange, and the rest area is titanium blue. In addition, more than 30,000 lighting lamps have been installed along the guardrail along the air bicycle lane, which fully ensures the lighting at night.

In order to ensure the safety of vehicles, there is a video surveillance camera every 200 meters on the bicycle lane. "The design peak flow of bicycle lanes is 2023 vehicles/hour in one direction. When the flow exceeds 80% of the design peak, the dispatcher of the emergency center can find it through monitoring at the first time and inform the field personnel to divert it. If necessary, the entrance can be closed for flow control. " The relevant person in charge of Xiamen Public Bicycle Management Co., Ltd. introduced. At the same time, each platform has an administrator who is responsible for public bicycle dispatching and social vehicle order management, and implements the vehicle regulation mechanism of "balanced transportation within the region, command transportation between regions, and centralized transportation on holidays".
