Technical Concept of Depot Location Selection and Over Station Development Property Matchability by JIANG Zhihua, ZHU Ying

“…[Result & Conclusion] It is suggested that the functional principle of depot location selection in terms of transportation needs should be supplemented and clarified in the relevant design regulations, in other words, the relevant urban rail transit design regulations should add the technical concepts that ′depots should be preferentially connected to stations with a higher frequency of train departures and arrivals or to turn-back stations′; the depot location should be ′scientifically selected′, and OSD should be cautiously decided; it is necessary to investigate the activation path and renovate the built but idle OSD, realizing both open resource efficiency increase and urban landscape beautification.…”
