Beyond Traffic: US DOT's 30 Year Framework for the FutureLudovic Privat
This document provides an introduction to a draft report titled "Beyond Traffic: Trends and Choices 2045". It summarizes that the report analyzes current transportation trends and projects what the system will look like in 30 years if changes are not made. It finds that population growth, changing travel patterns, and increased freight volume will overwhelm the existing system by 2045 if no new strategies are implemented. The report is intended to spur national discussion on critical policy choices regarding how people and goods will move in the future, and how to best align decisions and funding to adapt the system. It does not prescribe specific solutions, but rather presents data to frame important issues that need addressing.

A 5-part course for university or engineering students on transport and mobility issues (history, current situation, theoretical concepts, future and the Finnish case)
This document discusses transport and mobility theory. It defines key concepts like transport vs mobility, multimodality vs intermodality, and altermobilities. It also covers transport-related models and observations, including Kaya identity, Zahavi's conjecture, rebound effect, induced traffic, and externalities. Additionally, it addresses the relationship between transport, energy use, emissions and economic growth as well as inequality and other societal factors. The document emphasizes that reducing both passenger and freight transport is needed to significantly decrease emissions and that efficiency alone is insufficient without also decreasing travel activity and encouraging more sustainable modes.
Final frienldy roads black spots elimination presentationGela Kvashilava
More than 1 million people die each year in road traffic accidents, making it a leading cause of death globally and for people aged 15-29. Road accidents also cause up to 3% loss of GDP. Friendly Roads is a mobile phone and web platform that engages citizens to report hazardous road infrastructure and accidents via SMS, a mobile app, or online to create an interactive map and data visualizations. This crowd-sourced data is then used to identify and resolve local hazards, advocate for safer roads, and analyze accident hot spots. The tool is being piloted in Georgia and is available for other organizations to use to improve road safety.
This document summarizes the evolution of aviation liberalization from traditional bilateral air services agreements to more open agreements like "Open Skies". It discusses how early liberalization in the 1978-1991 period led to more freedom around capacity, pricing, and designation of multiple airlines. However, liberalization has not improved airline profitability overall. The document argues that further progress requires relaxing ownership nationality rules to allow for more cross-border mergers and consolidation in order to reduce overcapacity and costs in the industry. Unresolved issues around domestic cabotage and competition rules with expanding alliances also need addressing for long term profitability.
The document summarizes two presentations on intermodality in passenger transportation and private participation in public transportation. The first presentation discusses how integrating different transportation modes through measures like integrated fares and compatible networks can improve accessibility, efficiency and ridership. The second presentation outlines how private operators are involved in operating public transportation networks in countries like France and the US, and notes benefits and challenges to consider with private participation models. It provides examples of private participation contracts and emphasizes clear goals, selection criteria and accountability between public and private partners.

Construction management practices in canada and europegalaletsang
The document summarizes a report on construction management practices in Canada and Europe. It finds that international agencies are more willing than U.S. agencies to delegate traditional highway functions to the private sector when benefits are significant. Key recommendations include developing risk assessment techniques, using qualifications in procurement, piloting early contractor involvement, and applying alternate bids and designs in procurement. The report also examines preconstruction and construction aspects of international construction management practices.

This document provides a summary of key factors to consider in the design and construction of bridge approaches. It discusses investigating foundation soil behavior, designing embankments and abutments, sequencing construction to minimize post-construction settlement, using approach slabs, and maintaining bridge approaches. The successful design requires collaboration among geotechnical, pavement, bridge, construction, and maintenance engineers. Foundation soil compressibility is a major cause of settlement that must be addressed through soil improvement or load transfer. Reinforced embankments and retaining walls can provide benefits over conventional earthfill. Abutment design considers structural loads, movements, and construction impacts. Approach slabs accommodate transitions between components.

This document provides an introduction to the report "Beyond Traffic: Trends and Choices 2045". It notes that while the US once led the world in building transportation infrastructure like canals and railroads, its infrastructure is now aging and the country has outgrown it. Traffic congestion costs Americans and businesses billions of dollars per year in lost time and fuel. The report aims to analyze current transportation trends, identify challenges, and discuss potential solutions to address these issues through an open national dialogue. It is intended as the starting point for public feedback to inform a final version of the report.

Cp15 North American Regional Assembly NARA
1. PRESS RELEASE 15/2019
UIC, the worldwide railway organisation, meets North American Members and
partners in Colorado Springs on the occasion of the 4th North American
Regional Assembly
The 2019-2020 work plan includes the update of the Railway Vision for North
America, some complementarities to find with Future Railway Mobile
Communication System FRMCS and the development of a multimodal approach
(Paris/Colorado, 25 March 2019) The UIC North American Regional Assembly (NARA) was held on
25 March in Colorado Springs, at the same time and place as the 24th Annual AAR (Association of
American Railroads) Research Review meeting.
This 4th edition was chaired by Yves Desjardins-Siciliano, President and CEO, VIA Rail Canada,
Chairman of the UIC North American Region, and was attended by around 20 people, representing
UIC North American members as well as partner organisations such as the American Public
Transportation Association (APTA) with which UIC signed a Memorandum of Understanding last
December.
The UIC North American region currently has seven Members, namely the Association of
American Railroads (AAR), the national rail operator for intercity passenger service Amtrak, the
Mexican Agency for the Regulation of Rail Transport (ARTF), the California High-Speed Rail
Authority (CHSRA), the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), the Canadian national passenger
rail service VIA Rail Canada and the Railway Association of Canada (RAC).
AAR was represented by Mike Rush, Senior Vice President, Safety and Operations. Timothy
Tenne, Senior Director, Compliance, Certification and Quality Assurance represented Amtrak.
FRA was represented by Barbara Klein Barr, Director, International Programs at the FRA, and by
Karl Alexy, Deputy Associate Administrator for Railroad Safety. RAC was represented by Marc
Brazeau, President & Chief Executive Officer. In addition to Yves Desjardins-Siciliano, VIA Rail
Canada was represented by Pierre Le Fevre, Senior Advisor to the President & CEO of VIA Rail
Canada. Jean-Pierre Loubinoux, Director General together with François Davenne, Deputy
Director General, represented UIC. This meeting gave the possibility to Members to present their
2. priorities. Discussions focused on PTC (Positive Train Control), security and safety, sustainability,
the passenger experience.
Jean-Pierre Loubinoux addressed the challenges in creating a coherent community of cooperation
amongst the major North American players and highlighted actions that will sustain the North American
community in the coming years. He particularly insisted on the importance of having a vision. On this
occasion, the strategic document, “Railway Vision for North America – A smart choice for the future;
safe, efficient, reliable”, drafted in 2018, will be updated in the coming weeks, with the contribution of
the newly welcomed Mexican Member ARTF, the contribution of RAC as well as the work plan decided
during this 4th Regional meeting. A new part, open to partners, will be included, with the contribution of
APTA and possibly of UITP (International Union of Public Transport).
Jean-Pierre Loubinoux also presented François Davenne, UIC Deputy Director General to American
Members, in a spirit of transmission, stability and continuity and informed them that François Davenne
would become Director General of UIC during the General Assembly to be held in Budapest on 25
June. In terms of governance, and speaking about stability, the proposal to renew the mandate of VIA
Rail to chair the North American Regional Assembly was accepted by the Assembly, for two more
years.
Mr Davenne insisted on the fact that “We are traversing a critical moment in North America, with the
need to harmonise standards in which UIC can bring constructive elements in different fields”. He
followed by saying “We really need to work together to have a more global approach”. And then, calling
for a more unified vision: “We have to avoid duplications, and work on the same network. UIC will be
particularly committed to how we can have common developments, from a technical as well as a
commercial point of view”. He concluded the meeting by mentioning the main priorities which will finally
compose the NARA work plan 2019-2020: the management of interfaces between rail and public
transport (and the importance of FRMCS as a way to break the wall between them) and the
development of a multimodal approach (and the importance of railway stations) through the
organisation of a practicum in six major cities in North and Latin America (Toronto, New York, Miami,
Los Angeles, Dallas and Mexico City) in cooperation with APTA.
On the occasion of the 4th NARA meeting, a Vision for innovation panel session was organised the
morning before to discuss and exchange best practices on the Rail Research & Development issue.
Jean-Michel Evanghelou, UIC Head of Telecom & Signalling presented the main telecom challenges
(Future Railway Mobile Communication System FRMCS). Francis Bédel, UIC Chief Digital Officer
highlighted Digital developments of the UIC Digital Platform. He also presented DIGIM (Digital impacts
on railway business) programme, the clear station project, and promoted the first UIC Digital Intelligent
Rail Conference which will take place from 3 – 5 June in Brussels in partnership with Infrabel (Belgian
Infrastructure manager). He then gave the floor to Sean Schofield, Senior Advisor Innovation, VIA Rail
who presented the Clear Station proof of concept. Martin Brennan, European Rail Research Advisory
Council (ERRAC) gave an overview of UIC research projects. From the US side, Maryam Allahyar,
Director, Research & Development at the Federal Railroad Administration insisted on FRA’s current
3. issues and Kari Gonzales, CFO, Transportation Technology Center, presented TTCI’s priorities in terms
of research and innovation.
