Application Of Regional Culture Prototype In Urban Rail Transit Vehicle Design

With the rapid development of China’s economy,the number and density of urban population are increasing rapidly,the rhythm of urban life is becoming more and more rapid,the space is becoming more and more crowded,and the problem of traffic congestion is becoming increasingly apparent,which seriously affects the urban development.Therefore,it is particularly important to solve the problem of urban traffic congestion and develop public transport.As the top priority of public transportation,rail transit has become an important part of modern urban economy and people’s livelihood.Rail transit is closely related to the urban cultural development.Urban rail transit promotes the construction of urban culture and spiritual civilization while assisting the urban economic development.On the one hand,as a name card of a city,rail transit has become a new medium for urban cultural communication,providing convenience for residents and promoting cultural communication,thus giving new vitality to urban regional culture.On the other hand,the interpretation and presentation of different regional cultures,as new coordinates of cities,are also important considerations in the design process of urban rail transit.Regional cultural elements also provide abundant,available and operational sources of inspiration for urban rail transit design.Based on the regional culture prototype theory and in combination with the regional culture characteristics of Hunan,this thesis carries out design practice and research on the urban rail transit vehicle modeling,explores and establishes the cultural prototype application and design method applicable to the field of urban rail transit vehicle design.Chapter 1 of the thesis is the introduction,which describes the background and development status related to regional culture prototype and urban rail vehicles,as well as the purpose and significance,research method and content of the study.In chapter 2,combined with the existing design method,based on the regional culture prototype theory and its characteristics,as well as related design methods,the thesis puts forward the “Model of Cultural Prototype Design Method”,which corresponds to the four stages of prototype: “positioning”,“extraction”,“screening” and “placement”.By means of three directions of “Deconstruction”,“Reconstruction” and “Recreation”,this thesis lays a theoretical foundation for the research method and practice in the following part from three steps of regional culture pedigree construction,deduction and production.In chapter 3,around the three levels of urban rail transit and regional characteristics,the thesis analyzes the design focus of each level,selects and analyzes the corresponding cases for the focus content,providing case support and method reference for the application of regional culture prototype design method in urban rail vehicle design.Chapter 4 discusses the application of regional culture prototype in urban rail transit vehicle modeling design,and carries out prototype pedigree as well as the investigation and analysis of Huxiang regional culture.From the attitude of“young and promising”,the interest of “hitting water in the middle stream” and the feelings of “worry before pleasure” respectively,the cultural prototype of Hunan brand,Hunan spirit and Hunan heritage are constructed.Finally the thesis uses the“Model of Cultural Prototype Design Method” to verify the design practice of urban rail transit vehicles.This research,combined with the guidance of regional culture prototype theory,puts forward the “Model of Cultural Prototype Design Method”.In addition,through the application case analysis of regional culture prototype and urban rail vehicle design practice,the specific process and means of regional culture prototype in urban rail transit product design and application are defined,which provides reference for rail transit design practice.Finally,through the completion of the model of regional culture prototype and the establishment of the cultural prototype design method of urban rail transit,the theory of urban rail transit vehicle modeling design is supplemented.
