Special Challenges on Operation and Maintenance of MTR LR

2017/2/21

Challenges

• LR is an open systemØ Requires train captain to perform manual sight line drivingØ Depends on Road Traffic Management System by Transport

Department and Central Control Computer System

MTR Corporation


Challenges to LR and Bus Operations…

Heavy traffic at LR Junctions

Road user behavior Shared right-of-way

Crowding at busy stops

2017/2/21

Challenges

• As LR is an open system, many external factors (e.g. car accident, collapse of tree) affects the OHL and other trackside equipmentØ Vehicle height limit signage by Transport Department to remind road

user.Ø Railway Protection carry out inspection and notify tree owners to

manage.

MTR Corporation

2017/2/21

Challenges• Complex maintenance works but short maintenance windows

Ø Maintenance Windows: ~01:30 to 04:30 a.m.Ø Time consuming works such as replacement of tracks

MTR Corporation
