This document discusses the pros and cons of light rail transit (LRT) versus bus rapid transit (BRT) for future urban mobility. It finds that while BRT can be more flexible and affordable initially, LRT has higher capacity, better supports urban development, provides a higher quality ride, and may have lower long-term operational costs. The key is selecting the most appropriate transit mode based on local conditions and demand, with the goal of prioritizing public transportation over private vehicles to address issues like congestion, pollution and urban sprawl. Both BRT and LRT can transform public transit but LRT often enables greater regeneration and has more potential for future capacity increases. The overall conclusion is there is no single solution and

Congestion Pricing

Vijai Krishnan V

This document discusses congestion pricing, including its history, objectives, classification, determinations, acceptability, advantages, disadvantages, and case studies. Congestion pricing aims to reduce congestion by charging fees, typically varying by time of day or congestion levels, for vehicles using certain roads or entering designated zones. While it provides benefits like reduced travel times and emissions, challenges include public resistance, impacts on surrounding roads, and upfront investment needs for alternative transit options. Case studies show it has worked to decrease traffic in places like Singapore, London, and Stockholm.

Township of Langley Community Rail Study Council Presentation April 21

jgabateman

The document summarizes a high level review of a proposed Langley Township Community Rail project. It outlines key issues such as separating freight and passenger traffic, potential station locations, and high level cost estimates ranging from $82-112 million in capital costs plus ongoing operating costs of $6 million annually. It also reviews related background studies on population projections, travel patterns, and transit plans for the region. The recommendation is to re-examine the feasibility of a passenger rail service after a similar project between Scott Road and Cloverdale is implemented successfully.

This document presents a framework for evaluating the dynamic impacts of congestion pricing policies in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It outlines the development of a system dynamics model to assess how congestion pricing may affect transportation over the short and long term by influencing travel demand and supply of public transit. Key factors of the model include how the public's perceptions of transit quality, congestion levels, and costs influence their choice of modes. The revenues from pricing can fund improvements to bus capacity which may further reduce perceptions of congestion and incentivize shifts from private vehicles. While congestion pricing faces political challenges, the framework aims to help policymakers understand these complex systems and the potential benefits of various policies.

Challenging urban sprawl: public transit access point optimization

Joseph Chow

This document summarizes a study that used an optimization algorithm to analyze relocating public transit access points in Albuquerque, NM to decrease total transit travel time. The study used a maximum set coverage algorithm to maximize coverage of demand nodes within a 5-6 minute walking threshold. Analysis found access times could be reduced by half with relocated stops. However, a more comprehensive analysis is still needed considering additional factors like routing, pedestrian infrastructure, and public opinion before implementing changes. The recommendations suggest Albuquerque needs to understand why commuters still prefer driving and make transit more competitive through optimizing all components of travel time.

Public transport improvement

ICLEI

Public transport systems can be improved by focusing on customer needs rather than technology or existing operators. The most effective systems prioritize public transport, integrate different modes, and plan frequent services on a full network. While metro and heavy rail require large subsidies, bus rapid transit (BRT) provides high capacity at a fraction of the cost, constructing over 400km of BRT for the price of 7km of subway. BRT is also faster to implement, requiring under 18 months compared to over 5 years for metros.

First – Last Mile_MBPJ_2015

Norma Nun

The document discusses feeder services as an important part of integrated public transport networks. It defines feeder services as buses that pick up passengers and transport them to transfer points to connect to trunk services like rail. Effective feeder services require consideration of origin-destination points, network connectivity, ease of transfers and fare pricing. Challenges include long wait times, inefficient routes and high costs that make conventional buses unsuitable as feeders. Solutions proposed include improving infrastructure at stations, optimizing route lengths and frequencies, and exploring new transport models like paratransit to enhance viability and connectivity of feeder services as part of the overall public transport system.

This document discusses modelling urban transport systems in a city energy model using TIMES. It begins by outlining the characteristics of urban transport including high frequency, low speeds, and short distances. It then discusses learning from existing transport models to better represent factors like trip purposes and commodity groups that influence demand. The document proposes modelling passenger and freight transport in Malmo using TIMES, disaggregating demand based on mode, location, and trip purpose. It generates illustrative scenarios with different climate and air quality targets to explore policy impacts and tradeoffs between emission reductions. In the end, it emphasizes making underlying assumptions transparent through a city interface and optimizing for both CO2 and air quality.

sustainable transport

karapeshivraj

The document discusses the need for sustainable transport solutions like tramways to address issues with India's growing urban population and transportation needs. Tramways offer environmental benefits over other modes of transport by producing fewer greenhouse gas emissions and using less energy per passenger. They can carry large numbers of people and have lower capital costs than other rail systems. The document also examines how tramways can facilitate better city planning by supporting development along their routes and improving pedestrian access. Case studies from Lyon, France demonstrate how tramways transformed cities by reducing vehicle traffic and increasing real estate values. The conclusion is that tramways provide an efficient, economic and sustainable form of public transportation.

Implications of moving towards public transport based cities

Tristan Wiggill

1. Public transport in South Africa costs around R30 billion annually, with most funding going to commuter rail and bus services that support spatially inequitable development patterns. 2. While policies aim to use public transport funding to address inequities, there are concerns that priorities still entrench low-density, inefficient spatial forms. Future options include accepting decline, optimizing low densities, or investing in higher densities and values. 3. Investing to enable higher urban densities could maximize both equity and efficiency through "urban economic efficiency" gains. Valuing these benefits could justify shifting priorities towards rail infrastructure to support integrated, high productivity cities. Building consensus around such a future requires evaluating options and collectively deciding on priorities

Public Transit 101 - Making Transit the Better Way

Maytree

Metro.pptx

HindujaBairi

Metro systems are mass rapid transit systems that are well-suited for large, dense cities experiencing high traffic congestion. Metros can be conventional, subway, or elevated. They operate on DC motors to efficiently move large numbers of passengers between stations. Key factors in deciding to build a metro include high peak traffic, passenger density, and forecasted demand. Metros have technical features like platform doors, fare cards, passenger information, and air-conditioned trains. They provide efficient, eco-friendly transportation at scheduled fares based on distance. Metros boost economic growth while reducing congestion and pollution. Careful planning is needed for such large infrastructure projects.

Session 43 Per Kågeson

Transportforum (VTI)

The document analyzes the climate impact of investing in high-speed rail infrastructure for inter-city passenger transport compared to other modes like cars, buses, conventional and high-speed trains, and aviation. It calculates the greenhouse gas emissions per passenger kilometer for different modes and assumes how traffic may shift from other modes to high-speed rail. Based on a hypothetical example of a new 500km high-speed rail line generating 1 million trips per year, it estimates it could reduce emissions by around 9,000 tons annually but that emissions from construction may take decades to offset. It concludes that the climate benefits of high-speed rail are small and other lower-cost measures may be better for reducing transport greenhouse gas emissions.

This leads to significant cost savings for operators through reduced labor costs. It also improves reliability, flexibility, and passenger experience through more frequent trains and shorter wait times. Key advantages of UTO over conventional metros include lower operating costs, improved reliability and safety, increased transport capacity, and the ability to easily adjust service levels as demands change.

Eng. issam chehimi part 2 catenary-free solution

imadhammoud

TramWave is a catenary-free tram power system developed by Ansaldo STS that avoids the visual impact of overhead lines. It consists of 50cm long conductive steel plates insulated from each other that only release power when a train collector passes over. This ensures safety as only the plates in contact with the collector are energized. It is a simple and modular system with lower capital and maintenance costs than overhead lines or energy storage solutions. TramWave maintains performance of conventional systems while preserving urban aesthetics and facilitating development.
