Core Viewpoint - The Shanghai Metro Line 18 Phase II project has successfully entered the second stage of trial operation, known as "running map" rehearsal, bringing it closer to the goal of initial operation by the end of the year [1][2]. Group 1: Project Progress - The "running map" rehearsal involves empty train operations according to the future official timetable, testing the stability and coordination of key processes such as train entry and exit, turnaround, dispatch command, and signal linkage [1]. - The project is currently in the finishing stages of decoration installation, station accessories, and external supporting works, with expectations to commence initial operations by the end of the year [2]. Group 2: Technology and Systems - The most notable aspect of the Phase II project is the implementation of an LTE (Long-Term Evolution) vehicle-ground wireless communication fully automated driving system, which focuses on high levels of automation control [1]. - A temporary control center and an independent testing network have been established to ensure efficient debugging and smooth integration of multiple systems without affecting the normal operation of the first phase [1].
