The Taipei MRT system is very convenient, and millions of people use it every day, but during peak hours, the MRT is always crowded with people, making many passengers wait for several trains to get on! In addition, in the post-epidemic era, the public has a sense of "maintaining social distance". How can commuters who take the MRT every day protect themselves?

In order to relieve the crowds of people commuting to and from work, Taipei MRT promotes the "Route Congestion Notification Function" to check the current crowd situation in the car through  the App , and then know the crowded degree in the car, so that people can avoid the crowded car waiting for the train. Now Qibannan Line, Wenhu Line, Tamsui Xinyi Line, Songshan Xindian Line, Zhonghe Xinlu Line are all available for inquiry.



As long as the public downloads the "Taipei MRT GO" app or updates to the latest version, and selects the location of the station, they will be able to know the trains that are about to enter the station and the latest congestion status.

It is worth mentioning that the promotional posters of " Taipei MRT GO APP " can be seen everywhere in MRT stations. If you want to save the time of typing and searching for the APP, you can directly scan the QR code to download the APP, which is more convenient!

How to check the crowdedness of the carriage?


1. Enter the "Taipei MRT GO" APP

Click " News " under " Home ".



2. Query train dynamic information

Select the MRT system route from the top. Currently, "Bannan Line, Wenhu Line, Tamsui Xinyi Line, Songshan Xindian Line, Zhonghe Xinlu Line" can be inquired.



3. Check the crowdedness of the carriage

I am currently located at Taipei Main Station, and I want to take the Bannan Line to Nangang Exhibition Hall, so I have to select " Pannan Line BL " on the MRT system route to check the upcoming train. The current crowd at " Ximen Station ", Allows me to decide in advance which car to wait in .




There are four levels of congestion in the carriages:

"Green" stands for comfort and unimpeded movement in the cabin
"Yellow" means ordinary, easy to move in the car
"Orange" represents slightly more people, and you need to turn sideways to move in the car
"Red" means that there are many people and it is difficult to move in the car
Red and orange usually appear during rush hour, while green and yellow are more common during off-peak hours.


As can be seen from the picture, except for Car No. 1, which is green, the rest of the cars are yellow-orange, so I can choose to wait in " Car No. 1 " .


When I first got on the train, there were not many people in the No. 1 car, which was a comfortable level. However, because it was a holiday, there were many tourists with me on the train at that time, so the crowd in the car also increased significantly.



At this time, I picked up the APP and wanted to test to see if the " compartment congestion degree " was accurate. I found that the No. 1 car, which was green, has turned yellow . Although it is not at the comfort level, it is easy to move the position. It can be seen that the APP Instant updates are highly accurate.





How to measure the passenger weight of the carriage?


Are you as curious as I am, how does Beijie know the crowded situation in the carriage?

The real-time notification function of Beijie's carriage congestion is actually through a pressure sensor about 5.7 cm below the train to calculate the pressure value of the carriage load, and then convert it into the carriage congestion.




There are 849 carriages on the Beijie high-capacity electric train, and 304 carriages on the medium-capacity Wenhu Line. A total of 1,457 force sensors are installed in the whole system, which can send back congestion information when the train leaves the station and closes the door.

Beijie said that at the current estimate of 60 kilograms per person, the car shows that the green light is less than 90 people, the yellow light is about 90 to 160 people, the orange light is 160 to 270 people, and the red light is more than 270 people; the test is accurate 90%, A small number of real-time information will be sent back slowly or fail due to poor network signal.



Experience


At present, Beijie Line 5 has the function of real-time notification of congestion. I think this function is very useful, because we can't see the train that is about to enter the station first, and the crowd situation of each car. Usually, we will wait in the car closest to the entrance and exit. However, there are often the most people. If we can know the crowds of other cars in advance, we can wait in the waiting platform with fewer people to avoid crowding and evacuate the number of passengers.

However, if it is during the peak hours of commuting, it should be difficult to find the "green light" car, but you can still use this function to find a relatively uncongested " orange light " car, which can avoid being unable to get on the train and have a better chance . Find a seat, it is recommended that commuters can use this feature!
