The safe operation of urban rail transit is closely related to the lives and property of the people and the harmony and stability of the social environment. The handling of urban rail transit emergencies is particularly important. This paper classifies urban rail transit emergencies based on their nature and occurrence mechanism, elaborates on their characteristics, analyzes the problems existing in the emergency response of urban rail transit, and proposes emergency management measures for urban rail transit. By establishing and improving the emergency response system, the emergency response capabilities and handling efficiency of urban rail transit operation units can be enhanced, ensuring the restoration of normal operations in the shortest time and maintaining the smoothness of urban transportation.
