Emergent events in urban rail transit threaten the safety and order of the network.Heavy events will result in operation interruption,serious train delay and also passenger delay.With great influence and wide spread impact,they are listed as the key objects of urban emergency management.Evacuating rail passengers and transferring them to bus transport in emergency events is an effective method to maintain the entire order of the urban passenger transport system.Firstly,the influence of emergency events on urban rail transit is analyzed.Then the transportation capacity calculation method and site-selection method are put forward for emergency bus transportation services.Finally,the measures to implement the bus emergency-dispatch schemes are studied on the basis of informatization conditions.
