This indicates that the overall traffic situation on the analyzed highways is good based on the LOS evaluations.
Feasibility Study of Mass Transport in Nasik CityIRJET Journal
This document discusses a feasibility study for implementing a mass transit system in Nasik City, India. It begins with an introduction to mass rapid transit systems and their history. It then discusses the study's aim to facilitate sustainable development in Nasik. The methodology section outlines the study's phases, including selecting corridors, technologies, and assessing alternatives. Traffic and passenger data was collected on major corridors to analyze existing transit demand. Based on this analysis, the document identifies several potential mass rapid transit corridors that could meet Nasik's future transportation needs in a sustainable manner.
Urban transportation systems face increasing demand as populations grow. Mass transit systems can help address congestion by providing alternatives to private vehicles. There are two main types of mass transit - road-based systems like buses and rail-based systems like trains, metros, monorails and light rail. These systems have advantages like reducing environmental impacts, fuel use, and congestion. Opportunities for mass transit include integrating different modes of transportation and raising public awareness of transit options. However, mass transit also faces challenges like high infrastructure costs and ensuring passenger safety and reliability of service.
Study of Key Factors Determinant Choice of Rail-Based Mass TransitIJERA Editor
Pursuant to regulations of the Ministry of Transportation in 2002 about the type of transport based on the city
size, the metropolis with a population of more than 1 million inhabitants are required to have the urban mass
transit. Nevertheless, until now not all city-scale population of more than 1 million have mass public transport,
either bus or rail-based. Especially for rail-based mass transit, indicated the existing regulations have not been
able to challenge the development of rail-based urban mass transit. Learning from the literature study and the
experience of countries that already have rail-based urban mass transit it has acquired nine main factors to be
taken into account in developing a rail-based urban public transportation. This study was conducted by using
Analytical Hierarchy Process method which was further validated through the implementation of the On Focus
Group Discussion in the Jakarta City Transportation Council (DTKJ) as well as in the City Development
Planning Board (Bappeko) Surabaya. Finally, the initial result shown five sequences determining factor for the
determinant choice of rail-based mass transit, namely: fiscal or economic capacity of the region and society,
transport policy, integrated public transport, land use, fare and travel time. Furthermore, the acquisition results
of this study can be applied to the selected cities to address the challenges to urban mass transit development.

This document proposes two bus lane routes in Bangalore to help address traffic congestion issues. Route 1 runs 28 km from Domlur to Electronic City along major roads. Route 2 runs 18 km in a loop from Shantinagar Bus Station through areas like Richmond Town and Indiranagar, connecting to Route 1. The routes are intended to provide faster, more reliable bus transport as an alternative to private vehicles and feed into existing and planned metro lines. Underpasses are proposed at certain intersections to allow bus-only passage.
Urban transportation system meaning ,travel demand functions with factors, design approaches & modeling , types of mass transit system with advantages -disadvantages or limitations , opportunities in mass transport , integrated approach for transit -transportation system
The document discusses road networks, including their origins, patterns, hierarchy, design, control and analysis. It notes that road networks developed from the need for transportation and consist of nodes, links and control facilities. The hierarchy categorizes roads by function and includes arterial, collector and local roads. Modern techniques for analyzing networks include connectivity analysis and considering accessibility impacts on urban areas.
The document discusses the need for exclusive bus lanes in Bangalore to address the city's traffic congestion issues. It proposes 5 possible bus lane routes totaling about 71 km that could connect important areas and supplement the metro system. The routes would provide faster, more reliable bus transport and discourage private vehicle use. Planning considerations for the bus lanes like underpasses at intersections are also covered.
Urban transportation is undergoing massive change and expansion, especially in the developing world. The rapid growth of cities is driving demand for better urban transportation and many cities are set to invest heavily in infrastructure. Unfortunately, the needs of low-income households are often overlooked in the selection, design, and service decisions related to these investments. According to the World Bank, urban public transportation systems disproportionately disadvantage the urban poor and vulnerable, especially in cities in the developing world.
Meanwhile, innovative business and service models are emerging that are disrupting the established transportation systems in cities by taking advantage of open data, the Internet and mobile telephony. Services such as bike share, ZipCar®, Waze®, Hopstop®, and Uber® are reducing consumption and reconfiguring the relationship between modes, users, and providers of transportation. These new approaches improve urban transportation by making it more efficient, dependable, and sustainable.
As Susan Zielinski of the University of Michigan’s SMART Initiative puts it, “Transportation is at a crossroads. In response to rapid urbanization, shifting demographics, and other pressing social, economic, and environmental factors, cities and regions are shifting investment dollars from single mode infrastructure to multi-mode, multi-service, IT-enabled door-to-door systems… innovations and opportunities (are going) beyond the bounds of the traditional transportation industry.”
Collectively referred to as the emerging New Mobility sector, this innovative industry sector provides a key opportunity to build more inclusive cities and more resilient communities.
Catalyzing the New Mobility in Cities is an exploratory effort focused on identifying innovative business and service models that are beneficial to the urban poor, both as users and providers of urban transportation.The primer briefly summarizes and showcases some of the hallmark innovations that are challenging the status quo in rapidly growing cities in the developing world.
Services Model of Microlet Public Transport Based on Characteristics Movement...AM Publications
Mode of transport in the form of urban transportation has a very urgent role in supporting the growth and the development of a city.Microlet is the only public transportation owned by the city of Palu in performing services for users,this public transportation is increasingly unpopular and users tend to be abandoned because of the easeness to get it is very difficult in a sense; where waiting place is not clear, there is no certainty of a long waiting, the negotiations of travel destination and the time required for travelling can not be predicted. The research objective is to create a model that is suitable to be applied based on the people movement characteristics, with the hope of such urban transportation is still able to survive and operate as stackholdersdemands (user, operator / driver and government) and at the end people tend to choose public transportation as an option main mode of transportation in supporting their daily activities. The method of analysis used in modelling the transport trajectory is superimpose method with consideration of; land use patterns, the movement pattern of passengers urban transportation, population density, the service area andthe road networkcharacteristics.Based on the analysis of the division of three zones studied region, then the application of fixed rute is still can be carried out in zone 2 as a downtown area that includes 4 districts namely; West Palusubdistrict, Tatanga, South Palu and East Palu, while the two other zones, namely zone 1 and zone 3 as connector to the city center, city transportation routes can be applied in accordance with the national road that crosses the area of the zone.

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024Vadym Kazulkin
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

2. z Introduction
Transit Service provide mobility and accessibilities in communities of all sizes.
Transit service carry volumes of TRIPS that could not be handled efficiently by
other modes of transportation especially TO and FROM major activity centres
such as Central Business District (CBD).
Large cities are liveable and desirable places to live in part due to HIGH Capacity
transit systems. Example: Kuala Lumpur.
TRANSIT recognized as element of Liveability and Economic progress.
Intermodal integration is important policy
TODAY’S COMPREHENSIVE TRANSIT PLANNING - Concept of seamless travel-
in time, space, fares and information – through coordinated planning of modes and
application of new technology.
3. z Ownership and Governance
LOCAL AGENCY
Some transit agencies owned by Government.
The benefits: planning, design, and operation are locally controlled and better
integrated with other municipal functions, ie: land use planning.
Disadvantages: stronger budget competition
Malaysia example: MPPG etc
TRANSIT AUTHORITY DISTRICT
Common Model. These agencies created by Act of state legislatures.
Task – operating major transit systems. Examples: Rapid Transit
Example: LTA Spore, APAD MALAYSIA
4. z Ownership and Governance
COOPERATIVE ARRANGEMENT
The need for coordinated and integrated service favors a single agency model for
providing transit in a metropolitan area.
Several organizations forms – to allow multiple operators in a region to cooperate
and provide integrated service.
PRIVATIZATION
Many cities introduced changes in organizational structure, management style,
and labor relation to capture positive aspects in private (competitive) contracting
while balancing the need for public oversight and advancement of social goals.
5. z
CLASSIFICATION OF TRANSIT MODES
AND THEIR COMPONENTS
Transit modes defined by their RIGHT of WAYS, TECHNOLOGIES and
OPERATION CHARACTERISTICS.
Definition ROW: Travel way or strip of land on which the transit vehicles
operate
CLASSIFICATION OF TRANSIT MODES & COMPONENTS
(1) RIGHT OF WAYS – In most cases ROW interact with transit technologies
and influenced the type of service, costs, and performance characteristics of
a transit mode.
There are 3 BASIC categories of Right of Ways (ROW):
6. z
ROW Category A
Category A is defined as a physically separated and fully access
controlled ROW without intersection or legal access by other vehicle
or person.
Also referred to as “ grade separated” , “private” , “exclusive” ROW
These exclusive path can be designed with alignment on aerial
structures in tunnel, or at grade with physical separation from other
travel flows.
Refer figure 5.1
1ST CHARACTERISTICS - ROW
8. z
Haramain High Speed Rail
The Haramain high-speed railway (also known as
the Western railway or Mecca–Medina high-speed
railway.
453-kilometre-long (281 mi) high-speed rail line
in Saudi Arabia. It links the Muslim holy cities
of Medina and Mecca via King Abdullah Economic
City, using 449.2 kilometres (279.1 mi) of main line
and a 3.75-kilometre (2.33 mi) branch connection
to King Abdulaziz International Airport (KAIA),
in Jeddah.[
The line is designed for a top speed of 300 km/h
(190 mph).
Construction on the project began in March 2009,
was officially inaugurated on 25 September
2018,[ and opened to the public on 11 October 2018.
The railway is expected to carry 60 million
passengers a year, including around 3-
4million Hajj and Umrah pilgrims,
helping to relieve traffic congestion on the roads. It
does not connect with the Mecca Metro.
On March 31, 2021 the first trip to Madinah was
launched and the operations between Makkah and
Madinah will resume after they were postponed from
March 20, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[8]
10. z
Category B – Includes ways that are longitudinally separated from other traffic
BUT are subject to traffic controls at intersection.
Longitudinally physically separated by curbs, barriers, grade separation from
other traffic.
Pedestrian may also cross the ROW in some locations.
Refer Figure 5.2
ROW Category B
12. z
ROW Category C
Category C is represent transit operating on streets in mixed traffic.
It is the lowest cost and least impacting alternative, but because transit vehicle
movement is dependent on the flow of general traffic, category C offers the lowest
service performance.
In some cases category C may be improved by incorporating transit priority
elements such as QUEUE JUMP LANES ( short lanes enables transit vehicles to
move past areas of congestion to more easily access intersection) and TRANSIT
SIGNAL PRIORITY (enabling transit and emergency vehicle to hold green lights at
intersection or truncate red lights).
As the degree of separation between CATEGORY C to CATEGORY A, the
performance (SPEED, CAPACITY and RELIABILITY ) of the transit system
improves BUT INVESTMENT COST also increase
13. z 2nd CHARACTERISTICS - TECHNOLOGY
TECHNOLOGY – Transit modes technology refers to the PHYSICAL
COMPONENTS OF VEHICLES and GUIDEWAYS.
A vehicle or consist, a term that represents one or more vehicle coupled
together, is the key supply –side unit of analysis. There are 4
FUNDAMENTALS technological components:
1- SUPPORT – vertical contact between the vehicle and riding surface that support
the vehicle weight. Most commonly vehicles are supported with rubber (pneumatic)
tires on pavement or by steel wheels on sted rails
2- GUIDANCE MECHANISM- Vehicles guided on its way. Buses and other
highway vehicle are steered by driver while rail and other transit vehicle using fixed
guideways are guided by their travel way and special guidance wheel.
14. z
3- PROPULSION SOURCE AND TRANSFER OF TRACTIVE FORCE – transit
vehicles powered by internal combustion engine, usually diesel or electric motors.
CNG, HYBRIS vehicles, MAGNETIC force to accelerate the vehicle. Example:
HSR
4- VEHICLE CONTROL – Determining speeds and maintaining longitudinal
spacing between vehicles/consist is the final technology component.
Vehicle/consist may be controlled manually subject only to driver’s judgement.
Manually subject to fail-safe signal system or with varying level of computerized
control or feedback to maintain spacing (such as automated vehicle locater
system common on BRT routes). FULLY AUTOMATED, DRIVERLESS
VEHICLE/CONSIST have programmed computer controlled acceleration, braking
and stopping. AUTOMATED vehicle/consist can only be used in CATEGORY A.
15. z 3rd CHARACTERISTICS - TYPES OF SERVICE
1- By Types of Routes and Trip Served- Short Haul, City Transit
and Regional Transit
2- By Stopping Schedule- Local, Accelerated (Skip –stop,
Zonal) and Express Service
3- By Time of Operation and Purpose- all Day, Regular Service,
Peak Hour Service or Commuter Transit and Special Service
for irregular events (public meetings, sport events & etc)
16. z
Transit service can operate with different STOP patterns.
Lines that serves all stops/station defined as LOCAL service
SKIP STOP Service –vehicles stops different station or predetermined basis to
provide higher operating speed and shorter travel time.
EXPRESS SERVICE STOP – only a few stations along a line. Usually operating
same path as LOCAL service.
Hours of operation is the final distinguishing operational characteristics of transit
service. Regular transit usually operates for 16 to 18 hours per day.
Commuter transit operates only in peak hours, serving highly directional travel.
Irregular or Special Transit service operates only during special event or emergency
situation.
17. z
Transit service technology is often most popular aspects of
transit system, people usually know about bus system, tramway,
rapid transit , metro and etc
Among 3 Characteristics, ROW is the most important elements.
ROW determine performance and cost relationship of the transit
modes
Refer Figure 5.3
19. z
URBANIZATION
Urbanization is the transition from a
rural to an urban society.
Statistically, urbanization reflects an
increasing proportion of the
population living in settlements
defined as urban, primarily through
net rural to urban migration. The level
of urbanization is the percentage of
the total population living in towns
and cities while the rate of
urbanization is the rate at which it
grows (UNFPA 2007). Urban mobility
problems has increased
proportionally, and in some cases
exponentially, with urbanization since
mobility demands are concentrated
over a specific area.
20. z
Demographic trends resulted from global
urbanization
Natural increase. The outcome of more births than deaths in urban areas, a direct function of
the fertility rate as well as the quality of healthcare systems (lower mortality rates, particularly for
infants). Phases in the demographic transition are commonly linked with urbanization rates.
Although natural increase played an important role in the past, it is of much lesser importance
today as fertility rates in many developed economies have dropped significantly, in some cases
like Western Europe, Japan and South Korea below replacement rate.
Rural to urban migrations. This has been a strong urbanization factor, particularly in the
developing world where migration accounted between 40 and 60% of the urban growth. Such a
process has endured since the beginning of the industrial revolution in the 19th century, first
in the developed world and then in the developing world. The factors behind urban migrations
are numerous and may involve the expectation to find employment, improved agricultural
productivity which frees rural labor or even political and environmental problems where
populations are constrained to leave the countryside.
International migration. The growth in international migration has been an important factor in
the urbanization of major gateway cities, such as Los Angeles, Miami, New York, London and
Paris. This process tends to take place in the largest cities, but there is a trickle down to cities of
smaller size.
21. z
Levels of urban spatial structure.
Centralization. Refers to the setting of
activities in relation to the whole
urban area. A centralized city has a
significant share of its activities within a
defined center while a decentralized city
does not. Large employers such as
financial institutions are the main
drivers of centralization.
Clustering. Refers to the setting of
activities in relation to a specific part
of the urban area. A cluster of
activities is therefore a concentration
around a specific focal point, which tend
to be transport infrastructures such as a
highway interchange, a transit terminal
or a smaller town that has been
absorbed by the expansion of the
metropolis
