TRAFFIC ANALYSIS

Continuation of the local ring train way, around the central station set up a circular bus system to enhance the local public transport utilization, and the car underground, set thepedestrian, bicycles, bus lanes, to reduce the local traffic congestion Problem, while improving the safety of pedestrians and bicycles. Through UC simulation traffic can effectively improve the traffic jam for the traffic jam, and effective shunt, while analyzing the improved situation.

DISASTER PREVENTION

For disaster prevention, we design "the sponge city" as one of the main solutions. Since
the seasons change explicitly wet and dry season, it is necessary to establish the water
resource management system by using water storage in the city, which can also reduce
the flood risk as well. By the way, the solar photovoltaïque systems are involved on thetop of the roof for residential houses to compensate the lack of electric power. The greening roof can also reduce the hot island effect and can create the real garden city for YaVehicle Tracks System Ver.3 (SS) ngon.

ECO ANALYSISINTRODUCTION

Yangon situates in the tropical monsoon climate, and known as a garden city.The green finger system allows the"green" spread into the streets, and combines the concept of "sponge city" to improve the local flood problem.
For the aspect of transportation, we will engage the traffic diversion system (partially undergrounded) to improvethe urban overcrowding problem.We use xp-swim simulation for improving flood situations and use UC-win/Road analysis and simulation to study the traffic diversion process, we hope to improve the quality of local life andto conduct Yangon become an ecological and sustainable city.

Sponge city

DesignBuilder is applied to simulate and resolve the problem about energy-conscious technology. The application includes the sunlight factors and illuminance. This is instrumental in conserve energy and resuce carbon emissions.

DESIGN CONCEPTThe design concept using green fingers is inspired from Myanmar Buddhist gesture. The green fingers penetrate
into the studied site from the local landmark building Shwedagon pagoda. Thus the Yangon original green spaceand new urban green can be connected into a new green corridor.

During collecting the data, one of the important strategies of urban development plan ofGreater Yangon is that the city shall be responsive to fires. Thus the large central transfer station should provide not only the commercial functions such as hotel and shopping
malls, but also take into account the disaster prevention facilities and evacuation route.

The main function of the transit station is the bus interchange. Use open architectural style and green roof toachieve the aims to and blend into the local culture and create a sustainable environment.
