As the designer of Beijing Subway Line 1, first subway line of China, as well as a major formulator of design standards for China’s urban rail transit industry, UCD gave full play to its advantages by virtue of its solid engineering design experience, seasoned technological accumulation and rich data resources, worked meticulously in harmony with all other compiling units and completed the revision of the Indexes successfully.

The Indexes has been compiled based on the national standards for rail transit project design, construction inspection rules as well as active national product standards, quality assessment standards and safety operation rules, with reference to industrial and local standards and representative engineering design, construction rules and other material and in line with such related data as representative and typical construction drawings and construction schemes used by major cities and some regions in recent years and, in the wake of analysis and calculation.

The Indexes applies to the newly built and expanded urban rail transit projects (exclusive of maglev, monorail and tramcar projects). Urban railroad projects can refer to the Indexes.
