Integrated multi modal transportation system

Aditya Gupta

Multimodal transport refers to the transportation of goods using multiple modes of transportation, with a single operator arranging the transport under a single contract. In India, multimodal transport is growing due to increasing container traffic at ports and planned investments in port infrastructure. However, India faces challenges like infrastructure constraints at ports and for other modes of transport, as well as regulatory and institutional issues. Developing multimodal transport further in India requires improvements in areas like ports, coastal and inland shipping, customs procedures, and the use of technology.

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.

Public Transport: Who should own it? Who should plan it? Who should pay for it?

Paul Barter

Asks why governments intervene in the public transport business. And therefore, who should plan it, who should own it, and who should pay for it? I also ask, are these technical questions or political ones? These are internationally relevant but this presentation was to a Singapore audience and uses Singapore’s public transport story for most examples. Presentation for Singapore's OTC leadership institute (10 April 2014).

Bus Service Problems

Saeed Badeli

The document discusses several problems with public transportation systems including overcrowding during peak hours due to insufficient vehicles, limited service areas that only cover densely populated urban centers, and flat fare structures that discourage shorter trips. It also describes how some systems are fixed to tracks like subways while buses can change routes, and lists potential barriers to bus use such as distance to stops, infrequency, safety, cleanliness, and travel time. Improving areas like fare collection, vehicle maintenance, and giving buses priority at traffic signals could help address issues facing public transportation.

Carpooling (Ride-sharing) Analysis

Orahi Marketing

Over 70% employees name "office commuting" to be their biggest daily problem. Most organizations providing cabs report this as one of their top 5 costs. There is a simple solution to both these problems -- "Carpooling" or better still "Ride-sharing". Traditional carpooling does not work and has practical limitations of dependency on single car-owner/passenger, binding commitments and messy payments. Orahi's ride-sharing system is an advanced form of carpooling which solves all traditional carpooling problems. Employees share rides amongst themselves through a completely automated system. No binding weekly or monthly commitments & instant per ride payments. This case-study done by us represent two important facts: 1> Over 70% of employees (in this organization) save money with ride-sharing 2> Ride sharing through Orahi is more convenient than any other form of daily commuting Further, organizations reduce a huge cost as well. From our experience of working with 21,000+ employees, just a general carpooling website (inter or intra company) is not enough. A lot more needs to be done to adapt the carpooling model to user behaviour. Reach out to us if you think carpooling/ride-sharing can help you or your organization.

The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...

Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system. Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs. In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier. The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
