This document discusses the engineering challenges of building a sustainable transport system. It outlines that transport infrastructure, including roads, rail, and ports, places stress on society due to factors like population growth and consumption. The document advocates for more decentralized, community-based solutions and modal shift to reduce emissions. It argues for investing in infrastructure to increase non-motorized transport like walking, biking, and public transit to 80% of short journeys by 2020. Successful examples from other countries demonstrate that political will, funding, and integrated planning of land use and transport are needed to transition away from car dependency.

Presentation given during the first transportation workshop at Melbourne Uni. Focus on crowd monitoring and management. With examples from various projects (SAIL, Mekka, etc.)
In this edition the focus is Sustainable Urban Mobility. Our region has several good examples of how we can reduce the use of fossil fuels within sustainable urban mobility systems and create liveable cities. The Bulletin both provides examples of technical solutions and innovative campaigns from the UBC member-cities as well as displaying several externally co-funded mobility projects that covers a series of cities around the Baltic Sea Region.
In the editorial Mr Siim Kallas, EU Commissioner on transport and vice president for the EU Commission, stresses the importance of acknowledging also the economic benefits of developing sustainable urban mobility systems. He further on emphasise the necessity to stimulate markets that foster sustainable mobility supplies and the unpredictable future of fossil fuel as the dominant source for our vehicle fleets.
Multimodal in rail development: popularity and reaping benefitsAtkins
Dr Ghassan Ziadat, Atkins’ director of planning and infrastructure, looks in depth at transport planning, multimodal transportation and transit oriented developments. Ghassan believes that clear government direction, through policy and legislation, remains essential to ensure the consistent and effective adoption of multimodal transportation and transit orientated developments (TODs) in the Middle East’s major cities.
This presentation was first delivered in March 2014 at Infrastructure Outlook 2014, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Imagine a world in which people and goods can move with minimum impact on the local environment and climate. Imagine an intelligent transport system with smart infrastructure and smart, connected vehicles powered predominantly by renewable energy, and with enlightened end-users: private individuals and enterprises. Imagine a system that is actually based on user demand. That is what we would like to see.
To put mobility and transport on the track to sustainability, we have to improve energy efficiency, switch to renewable energy and more efficient modes of mobility, and, most importantly, increase smartness at all levels of the system. In practice, the last point means smart and efficient mobility services, cooperative systems, and intelligent vehicles and infrastructure.
VTT has a toolbox and the expertise to tackle all the key challenges of smart low-carbon mobility. And, to really make an impact, we are cooperating with all the key stakeholders in the field. Let us re-invent mobility and co-create a better future together!

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
Hello everyone! I am thrilled to present my latest portfolio on LinkedIn, marking the culmination of my architectural journey thus far. Over the span of five years, I've been fortunate to acquire a wealth of knowledge under the guidance of esteemed professors and industry mentors. From rigorous academic pursuits to practical engagements, each experience has contributed to my growth and refinement as an architecture student. This portfolio not only showcases my projects but also underscores my attention to detail and to innovative architecture as a profession.
2. The Engineering Challenges of Sustainable Transport
Infrastructure…what do engineers do all day?
Utilities (gas, water, electricity) - grids and generation
Communication (broadband, television, radio, mobile phone, landline)
Water and disposal (sewage, landfill, transfer stations)
Flood and water (rivers, streams, canals, dams, reservoirs)
Transport (roads and streets, bridges, rail, ports, airports, freight
distribution centres, bus / light rail / local transport)
3. Stress on society
Big national projects
Economic growth
Population
Consumption
Decentralised community
solutions
Sustainability = living in a finite
habitat
5. Modal shift - proposed
“Sustrans calls on UK governments to invest in doubling the number of journeys under five
miles made by foot, bike and public transport to four out of five by 2020.”
6. What we know
People who currently cycle,
cycle regardless of the current
conditions
The majority of people don't
cycle
And they tell us they don't cycle
because cycling
• is for kids and not normal for
adults
• there is no safe space for
cycling
7. What we know
Political will
Steady funding /
investment
Technical expertise,
engineering and land use
planning
8. Do we ‘need’ the car?
What can other countries tell us?
The transitioned countries : Netherlands, Denmark Germany
The transitioners: Spain (Sevilla), Ireland (Dublin), US (New York City)

clearer space will
remove conflict, road
classification, all

install gateways and
necking-down
corners, calmer
streets, streets for
people
13. The six building blocks for sustainable urban transport

and cycling, many
different concepts,
Newcastle should
innovate
