India’s urban population is currently around 30% of its total population. Experience across the world has been that as economies grow, rapid urbanization takes this proportion to over 60% before it begins to stabilize. As such, it is projected that India’s urban population would grow to about 473 million in 2021 and 820 million by 2051, as against only 285 million in 2001. Hence, cities must not only meet the mobility needs of the current population but also provide for the needs of those yet to join the urban population.

2. It discusses how to conduct alternative analyses to evaluate different project options and select the preferred alternative, as well as the steps to create a comprehensive mobility plan (CMP) to guide long-term transport vision and implementation.
3. A CMP establishes service level benchmarks to measure performance across public transport, pedestrian infrastructure, and other areas and recommends an institutional framework.
The document summarizes the key points from a presentation on transport as a driver for South Africa's Vision 2030 plan. It discusses the National Planning Commission's role in developing the plan to address South Africa's central challenges of unemployment, low education levels, inadequate infrastructure, and spatial inequality. The plan aims to create 11 million new jobs by 2030 and transition to a low-carbon economy through expanding infrastructure, improving education and healthcare, and increasing spatial accessibility. Transport is positioned as an important enabler to help achieve these goals through developing integrated urban transit solutions, optimizing freight corridors, and improving rural mobility.
The document discusses supporting transit oriented development through the City Support Programme. The key points are:
1) The City Support Programme aims to facilitate spatial transformation through more efficient public transport systems and densification around transit hubs to reduce travel times and car dependency.
2) The national government's role includes developing transit-supportive policies and legislation, providing capital and operational funding, establishing standards and guidelines, and implementing functional devolution to cities.
3) The programme has five components - functional alignment, financing, governing, economic development, and climate resilience - with the objectives of creating compact, productive, livable, inclusive and sustainable cities through strategic planning and financing that promotes growth and poverty reduction.
This presentation discusses how climate instruments like the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), Global Environmental Facility (GEF), and Clean Technology Fund (CTF) can be used to support sustainable transport projects in developing countries. While these instruments have helped some projects, transport remains underrepresented due to challenges establishing baselines and monitoring emissions reductions. The presentation recommends simplifying methodologies and aligning funding more closely with sustainable transport goals to enable greater transport sector participation in climate mitigation.
This document discusses lessons learned from 47 light rail projects. It finds that projects are more likely to succeed if they have a strong, independent organization; incremental planning; transparency; and citizen involvement. Failures often result from changing scope, interfaces between components, and lack of alternatives considered. The document also justifies light rail using a framework of efficiency, effectiveness, environment, economy and equity. Case studies show light rail can increase reliability and that accounting for reliability benefits is important for cost-benefit analyses, as demonstrated by a project in Utrecht.
1) The City of Cape Town is establishing Transport for Cape Town (TCT) as the transport authority to manage and integrate the city's transport systems through a single network plan, contracting authority, and regulatory framework.
2) TCT's objectives include developing an efficient land use and transport relationship, providing integrated multi-modal public transport, establishing a financially sustainable system, and ensuring ongoing network development.
3) TCT will implement an Integrated Transport Plan to coordinate different modes of transport according to a transport hierarchy. The plan guides transit-oriented development to concentrate housing and jobs around public transport corridors.

Parabolic antenna alignment system with Real-Time Angle Position FeedbackStevenPatrick17
Introduction
Parabolic antennas are a crucial component in many communication systems, including satellite communications, radio telescopes, and television broadcasting. Ensuring these antennas are properly aligned is vital for optimal performance and signal strength. A parabolic antenna alignment system, equipped with real-time angle position feedback and fault tracking, is designed to address this need. This document delves into the components, design, and implementation of such a system, highlighting its significance and applications.
Importance of Parabolic Antenna Alignment
The alignment of a parabolic antenna directly affects its performance. Even minor misalignments can lead to significant signal loss, which can degrade the quality of the received signal or cause communication failures. Proper alignment ensures that the antenna's focal point is accurately directed toward the signal source, maximizing the antenna's gain and efficiency. This precision is especially crucial in applications like satellite communications, where the antenna must track geostationary satellites with high accuracy.
Components of a Parabolic Antenna Alignment System
A parabolic antenna alignment system typically includes the following components:
Parabolic Dish: The primary reflector that collects and focuses incoming signals.
Feedhorn and Low Noise Block (LNB): Positioned at the dish's focal point to receive signals.
Stepper or Servo Motors: Adjust the azimuth (horizontal) and elevation (vertical) angles of the antenna.
Microcontroller (e.g., Arduino, Raspberry Pi): Processes sensor data and controls the motors.
Potentiometers: Provide feedback on the antenna's current angle positions.
Fault Detection Sensors: Monitor for potential faults such as cable discontinuities or LNB failures.
Control Software: Runs on the microcontroller, handling real-time processing and decision-making.
Real-Time Angle Position Feedback
Real-time feedback on the antenna's angle position is essential for maintaining precise alignment. This feedback is typically provided by potentiometers or rotary encoders, which continuously monitor the azimuth and elevation angles. The microcontroller reads this data and adjusts the motors accordingly to keep the antenna aligned with the signal source.
Fault Tracking in Antenna Alignment Systems
Fault tracking is vital for the reliability and performance of the antenna system. Common faults include cable discontinuities, LNB malfunctions, and motor failures. Sensors integrated into the system can detect these faults and either notify the user or initiate corrective actions automatically.
Design and Implementation
1. Parabolic Dish and Feedhorn
The parabolic dish is designed to reflect incoming signals to a focal point where the feedhorn and LNB are located. The dish's size and shape depend on the specific application and frequency range.
2. Motors and Position Control
Stepper motors or servo motors are used to control the azimuth and elevation of

2. “What is the ITMP25?”
• It describes the current reality of transport in the Gauteng City Region, how it
works and what value it adds
• How we expect the population and the economy to grow in the next 25 years
and the bearing that this will have on the transport system
• What the consequences may be if we continue doing things the way that are
being done at the moment; if land use pattern remain unchanged & we
continue to give preference to private vehicles as the transport mode of
choice
• 13 key short-term initiatives to be focussed on in the next 5 years
• Proposals on 8 significant transport intervention to be implemented over the
next 25 years, taking into account the National development Plan (NDP), the
Gauteng Vision 2055 & various ITP’s developed by local Government
• How these proposals could be funded using various income streams and
funding options
• The institutional arrangements required to implement the 5-year Short- Term
Implementation Plan and the proposed ITMP25
• Expected outcomes and benefits of doing what is being proposed
4. Gauteng in relation to South Africa
• Gauteng is the smallest of SA’s provinces and takes up 1.4%
of the country's land area - but it has the largest population
of all the provinces, with 11.2-million people making up
22.4% of South Africa's total.
• With a GDP valued at US$112-billion, Gauteng generates
33.9% of South Africa's GDP and 10% of the total GDP of
the entire African continent.

• Analysis of the transport situation in 25-years’ time, shows that
the consequences or “cost of doing nothing” will be severe, i.e. if
current trends continue

15. Need for an Integrated Transport
Strategy
• Considering Gauteng’s profile, the current land use
patterns and traffic congestion do not sufficiently
support long term, sustainable economic growth and
development in the region.
• Hence the need for a pro-active long term integrated
transport plan centred on public transport.

36. Intervention 3: Mainstreaming NMT(1)
Description
Background • 70% of all travellers Gauteng use NMT daily (by choice or force).
• A number of policies, strategies and programmes have been
launched to promote walking and bicycling as a mode.
• Despite this, the urban development structure has significant
deficiencies, when considering the lack & the quality of NMT
infrastructure & facilities. (NMT seen as an “add-on”)
• Built environment is inconvenient, insecure and unsafe for
pedestrians and cyclists.
• Need to recognise that a person’s mobility is largely determined
by the built environment, i.e. the design of buildings, sidewalks,
paths, roads and vehicles.
• At present, design practices & std.’s based on the “average”, has
led to the marginalisation or exclusion of many. “
• “Universal Design” on needs to be adopted on a wide base.
• Paradigm shift in the approach to roads design and adopting a
different “modal hierarchy” from the current.
41. Intervention 4: Reinforcing the
Passenger Rail Network (1)
Description
Proposal • Rail is a key form giving element of the City Region.
• Rail most appropriate on high-density corridors.
• Facilitate and support efforts of PRASA and GMA to Develop
Rail Network and Services into a modern system meeting the
needs of Gauteng’s passengers.

PT Networks (6)
Opportunities for the Mini-bus Taxi Industry Currently:
• BRT system developments offer mini-bus taxi operator groupings
opportunities, on a larger scale, to get involved with provision of
subsidised public transport services
• The restructured and extended road-based public transport network
will more than double the fleet and operators required to participate
in provision of formal subsidised services
• This implies operator grouping being “commercialised” into operating
entities/companies, with whom the Transport Authority can contract
Advantages to the mini-bus taxi industry:
• Opportunity to receive operating subsidies on government contracts
• Improved feasibility and sustainability of operators and their operations
• Further opportunities for the taxi industry to commercialise itself,
• Improved safety and quality of service provided to travellers
• “Stepping stone” for the industry to advance to “bigger business”

Description
Proposal • Increase existing capacity of roads and build new roads that
support public transport vehicles (92% of all PT trips).
• Increase existing capacity of roads and build new roads that
support the movement of freight and freight logistics.
75. Other Recommendations (1)
Intercontinental Airports accommodating wide body aircraft
• ORTIA to remain the main airport serving Southern Africa by 2037
• To meet long-term demand for air traffic to Gauteng and SA,
alternatives need to be investigated and considered
• Feasibility of a second intercontinental airport should be determined
and if required a new site needs to be identified and land reserved
City Airports to accommodating scheduled services with narrow body
aircraft
• Lanseria International and Wonderboom Airports should support ORTIA
with scheduled domestic flights and international flights into sub-
Saharan Africa
Rand and Grand Central Airports to continue as General Aviation Airports
Uncontrolled small airfield development should be regulated
76. Other Recommendations (2)
Key ITS recommendations are;
• Establish of a Provincial Transportation Management Centre,
with communication linkages to National and Metro TMC’s.
• Establish a provincial communications back bone
infrastructure that links TMC’s
• Establish ITS capacity in the Transport Commission and
establish a Provincial ITS Integration Committee
• Improve travel information dissemination
• Facilitate improved road safety by deploying ITS effectively,
the sharing of technology and provide assistance with the
entering of new technologies in the market.
77. Funding Arrangements (1)
Conclusions
• Inadequate funds are currently allocated to transportation
infrastructure and operations, also to the preservation of
assets
• A stable source of funding is required
• Transport budget should be doubled in the short-term and
increased to about 4 fold of the current over 25 years
• A financing plan is strongly related to policy
