Subway Crash in Shanghai Revives Fears About Safety

SHANGHAI, China A crash on one of Shanghai's newest subway lines is the
latest stumble in China's rush to roll out modern services, often
sacrificing safety for fast results.
.
The collision Tuesday, which injured 271 people, has also focused
attention on a state-owned venture that supplies signal systems, including
one implicated in a deadly bullet train crash in July.
.
The subway operator, Shanghai Shentong Metro Group, said the line which
opened last year was experiencing signal problems when one of its trains
crashed into another near the city's scenic Yuyuan Garden.
.
It was not the first problem on the line. A mishap involving the
misdirecting of a train two months earlier had resulted in assurances of
no more accidents from the maker of the signal system, Casco Signal Ltd.
.
"We certainly intend to get to the bottom of this," the metro's chairman
Yu Guangyao told reporters.
.
Casco, a joint venture of China Railway Signal and Communication Corp., or
CRSC, and France's Alstom, SA, was set up in the mid-1980s and is a major
supplier of signal systems and other electronic equipment for China's
railways and subway systems.
.
It also supplied a centralized traffic control system for the railway in
east China's Zhejiang province where two bullet trains crashed on July 23,
killing 40 people and injuring 177.
.
While the two systems are not the same, the problems with signalling and
communications on the subway line raised eyebrows: At the time of the
crash, the crowded trains were operating at lower than usual speeds and
being directed via phone by subway staff rather than by electronic
signals.
.
As with the bullet train crash, which experts say resulted both from
equipment and human error, its problems likely are not limited to the
signalling equipment.
.
"There is no doubt that the signalling equipment is the most direct and
obvious cause," said Li Hongchang, a professor of economics and management
at Beijing Jiaotong University. "The deeper cause lies in maintenance,
management and even in whether contracts were awarded in a fair an open
way in the first place."
