Features: This book consists of two main parts. The first part covers the fundamental theories of urban rail transit planning, while the second part presents applied cases of urban rail transit planning. In the first part, the author emphasizes the basic theories, models, and methods of rail transit network planning and passenger flow forecasting, as well as the approval procedures for urban rail transit project construction. The aim is to enable readers to fully master key technologies and engineering approval procedures while systematically grasping the foundational theories of urban rail transit planning, thereby effectively guiding urban rail transit planning and preliminary work in China. In the second part, the author further illustrates how to flexibly apply fundamental theories to solve practical transportation planning issues through the case studies of Dalian's rail transit network planning and passenger flow forecasting. This is intended to deepen readers' understanding of the foundational theories and enhance their application skills. The book can serve as a textbook or reference for students majoring in transportation, as well as a reference for researchers, planners, designers, and managers involved in rail transit.
