北京年內將開通中國內地首條無人駕駛地鐵
Beijing will open its first subway Line with self-driving trains this year, local authorities said last Friday.
據當地有關部門上週五透露,北京年內將開通第一條無人駕駛地鐵。The facility is the first fully domestically developed automated subway line on the Chinese mainland, said a spokesperson with the Beijing Municipal Commission of Housing and Urban-Rural Development.
據北京市住房和城鄉建設委員會一名發言人表示,這將是中國大陸第一條完全國產的自動化地鐵線路。The 16.6-km Yanfang Line, which is being debugged, will improve convenience of transportation for residents living in the city's southwestern suburb of Fangshan, the spokesperson said.
據該發言人表示,這條全長16.6千米的燕房線地鐵目前正在調試中,將改善北京西南部房山區居民的交通便利。
In addition, construction is expected to be completed in 2017 on two new rail lines, the city's first modern tram line and first medium-low speed maglev line.
此外,預計2017年還將完成另外兩條鐵路的建設--分別是北京第一條現代有軌電車線路和第一條中低速磁懸浮列車線路。Currently Beijing has 19 lines covering 574 kilometers in operation. Twenty subway lines or sections, spanning over 350 kilometers, will be built this year.
目前北京地鐵共有19條線路,運行公里數為574公里。此外,今年還將開建20條地鐵線路,全長超過350公里。
