Overview
Shahe Metro Station, a crucial node on the Changping Line, sees nearly 100,000 passengers daily, with nearly 10,000 non-motorized vehicles parked around the station every day. This has led to long queues, disorderly parking, blocked fire lanes, sidewalks and motor vehicle lanes. The station serves approximately 150,000 residents.
The project creates a three-story structure following the design concept of separating pedestrians and vehicles, with one-way traffic. A “sky bridge” achieves seamless connection between the parking garage and subway station, enabling direct access from all floors — building a zero-distance transfer system of “parking and entering the station.”
Timeline & Location
Q3 2025: Construction officially commences. Q1 2026: Expected operational. Located at Shahe subway station on the Changping Line, Beijing, China.
Stakeholders
Beijing Municipal Development and Reform Commission. Shahe municipal government. Local community residents, students at CUFE Shahe campus. EV charging infrastructure providers and bicycle sharing companies.
Digitalisation & Data
The project developed the city’s first full-process management APP for non-motorized vehicles. It connects cameras, temperature sensors, AI, and a visualization screen to overcome misjudgment in dense traffic. Features: seamless passage, entry/exit records, intelligent parking and retrieval, real-time illegal parking warnings, and fire risk monitoring.
The APP uses multiple data including vehicle ID, parking behavior, and user credit.
Hazards
Exogenous Hazards
Vehicles encroaching into footpaths and roads. Management of non-motorized vehicles requires systematic upgrade of transportation and community governance.
Endogenous Hazards
Demand for urban metro transit undetermined when metro station originally designed and built.
Cost & Benefit
Cost: To Do
Benefit: Public transport resilience to meet expected maximum housing density. Zero-distance transfer system improving commuting efficiency. 10,000 spaces for non-motorized vehicles with proactive management.
