Delta zone eyes smart traffic network
Print Edition
A SMART and green traffic network will be established in the Yangtze River Delta Ecology and Greenery Integration Demonstration Zone, according to a blueprint.
The zone, covering 2,413 square kilometers, includes Shanghai’s Qingpu District, Wujiang District of Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, and Jiashan County in Zhejiang Province.
Based on the blueprint unveiled yesterday, the application of new-energy facilities will be set up with the accelerated construction of hydrogen refueling stations and charging piles.
Green and ecological development is the priority of the demonstration zone, which is reflected in the design of its transportation network, Wang Weiren, deputy secretary general of the city government, told a press conference.
“The construction of almost-zero-carbon demonstration zones will be piloted in core areas such as Watertown Parlor and a series of green-oriented traffic policies will be drafted with metro and bus transportation prioritized, and walking and cycling transportation encouraged.”
It is estimated that green transportation would account for over 80 percent of the total in the demonstration zone by 2035, which would be world-leading, Wang added.
The application of energy-saving and carbon-reduction technologies would be pushed and new eco-friendly materials and technologies would be applied during the construction and renovation of roads and ports in the zone.
The allocation of new-energy vehicles in bus, taxi, postal and public sanitation fields would be accelerated as well.
Construction of several traffic projects such as the west extension of Metro Line 17 and the Jinshan-Xitang inter-city rail line had started, which would cut traffic time between Watertown Parlor and the Hongqiao transport hub to 35 minutes, and to Pudong International Airport to 70 minutes upon completion.
