Key Issues and Strategies for the High-Quality Development of HighSpeed Rail Passenger Hubs
Author:ZHANG Xiaochun, YANG Yuxing, HE Jianping

Abstract: A review of urban development stages and passenger travel characteristics indicates that the future planning, construction, and operation of high-speed rail passenger hubs must place greater emphasis on sustainability, integrated efficiency, and passenger experience. With high-quality hub development as the overarching objective, this paper defines the requirements for greater sustainability, higher efficiency, and a better passenger experience, and proposes corresponding strategies. First, the siting of integrated hubs should be coordinated with the urban center system; the scale and functional mix of integrated development should be determined prudently; and spatial layouts should retain flexibility for future adaptation. Second, scientific site selection, compact layouts, refined design, and intelligent operations should be used to shorten travel distances and waiting times at every stage of the passenger journey. Third, passenger experience should be improved through appropriate spatial scales, convenient transfer organization, diversified facilities and services, nature-oriented place-making, and precise information provision. Continuous improvement of hub planning, construction, operation, and management through digital and intelligent technologies will be an important direction for future development.
