The initial, short-term and long-term line design adopts large and small crossing operation

This engineering vehicle adopts a B-type car, a DC1500W third rail power supply method, and the maximum operating speed is 100 km/h. Six vehicles are used in the initial, short-term, and long-term formations, and 18 vehicles/vehicles are allocated in the initial period.

After completion, it will be connected to the existing Line 3 for operation. The system design capacity is designed according to 30 pairs per hour, and it meets the conditions of 33 pairs of trains running in one direction during peak hours.

The first, near and long-term roads of the whole line are operated by large and small roads. The big road is Fubao Station-Pingdi Liulian Station, and the small road is Fubao Station-Liyuan Station. There are 30 pairs of trains in the early, near, and long-term peak hours, and the short-term and long-term morning and evening peak hours will be added one-way in the upward and downward directions respectively.
