Release date : 08 Nov 2022

The bus shelter is an important basic setting in the city. With the urban upgrading planning in various regions, this project is also hot in the near future. What are the characteristics of common bus shelters?

1. The waiting space is moderate. The bus shelter is required to have the functions of sun protection, rain protection, lightning protection, wind protection, etc. The most common way is to set up a bus shelter roof. However, care should be taken not to affect pedestrians in the design. According to relevant regulations, the width of the road surface for bus stops should be more than 3m in principle, and the length of the awning should be less than 2m. The length of the passenger.

2. There is a certain degree of discrimination. The location of the canopy can be marked by using the waiting booth and the surrounding environment different from other highway waterscape. For example, in the streets around the bus stop, place a sign shelter higher than other street trees, or choose a street tree different from the surrounding street trees. On wide sidewalks, trees around bus shelters can be planted out of alignment with other street trees. The design of the bus shelter must be visually private, and the treatment effect from top to bottom should be considered. The station shall be set to facilitate the identification of different types of buses, and the colors shall be different. Consistent with the color of the train, the north station mode should be easy, lively, and appropriate in proportion.

3. Coordinate with surrounding facilities. The bus shelter is often surrounded by protective fences, road guardrails, etc. If the design of the rainproof canopy of the bus shelter is not well matched with the guardrails and road berms, it will cause interference to the citizens. Overall waterscape. Chaos. This requires the two to strive for unity in modeling and tone. In addition, the distance between the awning and the building fence shall be based on the premise that the rocket can pass through easily.

4. Point setting rule error. The midway station shall be set at the main passenger flow distribution points along the bus line as far as possible. When parking points are set at the road section, the stations symmetrical up and down shall be staggered on the road plane, that is, the stations shall be set at the fork. The stagger distance shall not exceed 50m. On the main road, the length of the fast lane is less than or equal to 22m, so there is no need to drive. When the intermediate station is set near the intersection, it is generally set 50m away from the intersection. It is about 100m away from the main road with many cars in big cities.

5. Meet the waiting behavior and safety needs of all kinds of people. As a public facility, the bus shelter should not only meet the behavioral needs of normal people but also consider the needs of special people. Therefore, it is necessary to set up a rest chair in the waiting booth. It is required to have simple seats matching the structure of the shelter as much as possible. Auxiliary facilities for the disabled to get on and off the wheelchair. Sufficient space shall be reserved for the safety of passengers and cars. The ground of the landing space shall be kept clean, and attention shall be paid to drainage, anti-skid, and collision prevention.

6. Reflect on the urban and regional background. The shape of the bus shelter in each city should have its personality and characteristics. Line shelters in cities should also be adjusted according to the local environment.

The bus shelter has the above characteristics, and the design of its canopy needs to pay attention to the above points.
