The Rea Vaya bus rapid transit (BRT) system in Johannesburg, South Africa aims to provide efficient, affordable public transportation to residents. Launched in 2009, the system runs buses along dedicated lanes and integrates with other transit networks. It aims to serve over 80% of Johannesburg residents by 2020. The BRT system has created jobs, improved mobility and the environment by reducing emissions. Early challenges involved maintaining bus schedules and preventing other vehicles from using dedicated lanes, but the system provides a model for improving urban transit internationally.
Robert Evans - Overview of midlands PiP projectKeith Nolan
The document provides an overview of the Midlands Plugged in Places (PiP) project. It discusses:
- Cenex's role in managing the Midlands PiP project jointly with Central Technology Belt to develop the electric vehicle market through installing over 500 public and 200 domestic charge points across the East and West Midlands.
- The project aims to facilitate inter-regional EV travel between PiPs and other regions by developing a quick charger network at transport hubs.
- Progress to date includes establishing procurement frameworks, initial marketing efforts, and 30 installation projects in the pipeline, while addressing strategic challenges around communication, program structure, and measuring success.
Yvonne Hübner - Electric vehicle and infrastructure trials in the north east ...Keith Nolan
The document summarizes an electric vehicle and infrastructure trial conducted in the North East of England. It installed over 1,300 charging points with public and private access as part of a £7.8 million government-funded program. Data was collected from over 7,000 vehicle trips covering 65,000 km to analyze driver behavior, vehicle range, and energy use. Key findings included that drivers overestimated typical trip lengths, charging mostly occurred overnight, and vehicle acceleration and top speeds met drivers' expectations. While drivers enjoyed electric vehicles, high purchase costs remain a barrier to widespread adoption.
This document provides a summary of a European COST action meeting on buses with a high level of service (BHLS). It discusses the characteristics of BHLS systems in Europe and examples from several countries. Key points include that BHLS aims to fill the gap between regular buses and trams with a focus on reliability, accessibility, and comfort. Examples of BHLS systems from France, Spain, the Netherlands, Germany, the UK, and Italy are summarized. The COST action involved sharing experiences and best practices between countries to develop recommendations for decision makers and researchers.
The document discusses public transportation in the Paris region of France, which is served by RATP, SNCF, and Optile and includes the metro, RER regional rail lines A and B, buses, and trams. The RER A and B lines connect suburbs to Paris with 35 and 32 stations respectively, carrying over 300 million and 168.5 million passengers annually on their east-west and north-south routes. STIF coordinates the public transportation system in the Paris region under contracts with the three main operating organizations.
The Current Transport Policy Environment Bakhtiar Zein
This document discusses Indonesia's railway transport policy environment and plans for reform. It covers:
1) Law 23/2007, which aims to reform the railway sector by opening it to greater private sector participation and competition, and establishing clearer regulations.
2) The goals of reform include improving efficiency, promoting investment, and increasing rail's mode share for both passenger and freight transport.
3) Moving forward, a National Railway Masterplan will guide long-term development, including setting achievable targets for rail market share. Institutional restructuring options are also discussed to separate regulatory and operating functions.
TfL's approach to developing a sustainable transport system focuses on implementing the Mayor's Transport Strategy through committed investments and a portfolio of work programmes. This includes increasing public transport, walking and cycling by 6% by 2031 to support London's growing population and economy while reducing emissions. TfL reflects that clear goals, leadership, stakeholder support and building on successes have allowed it to achieve a 7% modal shift to more sustainable modes and make progress on emissions reductions.

Urban Transport is at crossroads. Users do not get the level and quality of service that they pay for by direct or indirect means in a fair and equitable way. One road leads to MobilityXS.
This is based on a pathbreaking review of our usage and attitude, environmental constraints and a comprehensive study of enabling technologies. It metamorphoses the public-private transport categories. In turn, users have a wider choice of the travel experience that they co-create and customize to personal preferences. They avail of vastly superior travel experience at a given price point in this model than at present. In a wholesome approach to our needs of a livable society, users can choose to walk or cycle comfortable distances in a friendly environment that is sequestrated of motorized traffic. Fast moving motor vehicles run uninterrupted of slow moving traffic and move much faster than at present with a combination of innovative traffic control measures and in-vehicle navigation sensors in the new system.
The document summarizes a presentation about a European project to develop hybrid commercial vehicles. It aims to reduce costs and environmental impacts of buses and trucks through hybridization. The project involves 18 partners over 4 years with a budget of 17.7M Euros. It will develop hybrid bus and truck demonstrators with the goals of reducing powertrain costs by 40% and fuel consumption by 5% compared to current hybrids through technologies like improved energy storage, electric machines, and component integration.
The document summarizes the evolution and success of London's bus system tendering process. It discusses how the system has transitioned from gross cost contracts in the 1980s, to net cost contracts in the 1990s, and finally to quality incentive contracts implemented by Transport for London in 2000. The quality incentive contracts use route clustering, clear performance monitoring, and financial incentives to encourage private operators to improve quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction. The London system provides a model for building public-private partnerships and demonstrates lessons for improving public transportation tendering in other cities.
The document discusses plans to revitalize Cape Town Station as the transportation and activity hub of the city. The vision is to position Cape Town as an inspirational world city through replacing the aging rail fleet, improving public transportation, and making the station a safe, efficient, memorable and culturally diverse space. The revitalization would inject new life into rail access and support Cape Town's growth as a regional economic center through improved connectivity.

The document summarizes Singapore's transportation system development and strategies over the past few decades and outlines its vision for future mobility. It discusses how Singapore integrated transport and land use planning, expanded road networks while managing demand, and provided high quality public transport. Key strategies included congestion pricing, vehicle quotas, and expanding rail and bus networks. The future vision is to have an even more connected, interactive system with widespread use of shared, autonomous and green vehicles, and real-time integrated information across different modes. Public transport ridership is aimed to increase further with more extensive rail and bus networks.
This document provides recommendations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector in Seattle by better coordinating transportation and land use policies. It recommends focusing new growth around transit to reduce travel distances; using planning to support walkable, transit-oriented neighborhoods; and reducing reliance on oil by transitioning to clean, low-carbon transportation solutions. Specific recommendations address funding, road pricing, policy and planning, transportation infrastructure, transportation demand management, parking management, and vehicle fuels and technologies. The overarching goals are to attract more growth to the city centered around transit and non-motorized options to cut emissions from shorter trips.
This document discusses methods for measuring transport energy use. It outlines four key ways that energy use statistics can be misleading or incomplete. Specifically, it notes that (1) upstream energy use is often ignored, (2) averages hide differences in operating conditions, (3) other energy needs like infrastructure are excluded, and (4) other impacts beyond energy use alone are not considered. The document advocates using lifecycle analysis and considering a broader set of factors to obtain a more accurate and complete picture of transportation system impacts.

The document discusses the "Parkiteer" program in Melbourne, Australia which installed secure bicycle parking cages ("Parkiteer cages") at public transport stations. The program was a response to overcrowding on trains causing bicycles to be banned during peak times. 23 Parkiteer cages were installed in 2008, providing electronic card access and solar power. This reduced bicycles on trains and increased public transport use. The cages show how different transportation actors can work together to improve the transportation system.
The document outlines a plan to develop an electric vehicle mobility system called the Zero Emission City (ZEC) project in the city of Parma, Italy. The plan aims to transition the city to electric mobility through electric car sharing, company fleets, and private electric vehicles. It involves building a network of 300 charging stations throughout the city. The plan is split into two phases, with the first phase focusing on getting 100 electric vehicles and 100 charging stations operational by 2012 to test the system. The second phase would expand the network and fleet up until 2015 to fully implement electric mobility in the city. The total investment needed is estimated to be over €9 million over the 5-year period, with operational costs of €500,
This document discusses urbanization trends and transportation issues in Bangladesh, with a focus on Dhaka city. It provides the following key points:
- Bangladesh is experiencing rapid urbanization, with urban population projected to reach 30% by 2010 and 50% by 2025. Dhaka city accounts for nearly 40% of the country's urban population.
- Dhaka faces challenges of high population density, traffic congestion, poor public transportation, and high levels of air pollution from vehicle emissions. Nearly 98% of air pollution readings show particulate matter as the main pollutant of concern.
- Vehicle ownership in Dhaka is growing rapidly at over 10% annually. Diesel vehicles such as trucks and buses
1) The Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) grew significantly between 1986 and 2006, adding over 1.8 million new residents in the region and over 880,000 new residents in Toronto alone.
2) Governance of the region has evolved over time, with the creation of regional planning bodies like the Greater Toronto Services Board and legislation like the City of Toronto Act to plan for growth.
3) The Big Move is Metrolinx's 25-year regional transportation plan to address growth through expanding transit networks, implementing mobility hubs, and reducing congestion and emissions through mode shift. The plan models significant benefits to mobility and sustainability by 2031 if its projects and policies are implemented.
The document summarizes similarities and differences in the urban development of four cities: Rome, Berlin, Barcelona, and Cagliari. All four cities were born near water sources and experienced bombing during wars in the early 20th century. Rome, Barcelona, and Cagliari are older cities with Roman structures, while Berlin developed later in the 12th century. The cities also had differences in their expansion patterns, defensive structures, and location of central areas.
This document summarizes the natural features and history of Caffarella Park in Rome. The park contains natural hills formed by the Almone River and construction of the city's Metro line. Notable streets bordering the park include Via delle Cave, named for stone tunnels, and Via Latina, an ancient road. The document also lists the native and imported trees and plants in the park, such as cherry and maple trees, and notes the sacred legends and ruins associated with the park and its river.
Varro was a Roman scholar who wrote extensively on linguistics in the 1st century BC. He introduced the concept of analogy and anomaly in language formation but did not fully resolve the controversy. Varro believed languages originated from God but did not adequately explain the similarities between Greek and Latin. He recognized culture influences the creation of new words. His work established inflected words had two primary categories and four classes with distinct syntactic and semantic functions in classical languages. Priscian was a 6th century Roman grammarian who made significant contributions to the study of linguistics.

His work established inflected words had two primary categories and four classes with distinct syntactic and semantic functions in classical languages. Priscian was a 6th century Roman grammarian who made significant contributions to the study of linguistics.
Roman culture was influenced by earlier cultures like the Etruscans and Greeks. Roman art had several general characteristics - it was practical, focused on engineering works, large-scale, and used art for propaganda. Architecture used vaults, arches, and domes. Cities were planned around cardo and decumanus roads intersecting at a central forum. Infrastructure like aqueducts, bridges and roads connected the empire while amphitheaters, theaters and baths entertained citizens.
Rome has undergone significant urban development throughout its long history. It began as a small settlement on seven hills in the 8th century BC and expanded during the Roman Republican and Imperial periods. The city declined in the Middle Ages but regained prominence during the Renaissance thanks to the papacy. Rome was chosen as Italy's capital in the late 19th century, and underwent further growth and restoration. Under Mussolini in the 1920s-40s, major projects like EUR were built to glorify fascism. Today Rome has over 2.8 million inhabitants and continues expanding through the creation of new neighborhoods and suburbs.
The document summarizes the development of Rome as the capital city of Italy from the 19th century onwards. Key events include the construction of the first rail lines in the 1850s-1860s connecting Rome to other cities, which spurred new development. In the 1870s, Rome became the capital after being conquered and its medieval layout was transformed through new districts and infrastructure projects. During the fascist period of Mussolini, large urban planning projects reshaped the city center and new areas like EUR and the Foro Italico sports complex were constructed. After World War 2, Rome expanded further through new suburban districts connected by improved public transport.
The document analyzes Rome's brand and provides strategic suggestions. It summarizes Rome's strengths as its historical heritage, culture of la dolce vita, and passionate people. Weaknesses include being a dysfunctional city with inefficiency, crime, and a perception of being stuck in the past. The strategic perspective is to position Rome as molding the 21st century layer by working to combine its past magnificence with modern innovations, energies, and infrastructure projects. The proposed brand idea and communication plan aim to capitalize on Rome's uniqueness while addressing the demand for modernity.

Urban Form and Design - Key Concepts & Historical PrecedentsAnuradha Mukherji
This document provides an overview of key concepts and historical precedents related to urban form and design. It includes images and descriptions of medieval fortified villages, streets, mosques, cathedrals, and plazas from Europe and the Middle East. Additionally, it discusses the transformation of Paris through Haussmann's redesign in the 19th century, as well as the work of Camillo Sitte on studying medieval plazas. The document serves as an introduction to examining the evolution of urban design over time.
Rome began as a small agricultural community in central Italy founded in 753 BC. It eventually grew into a powerful Republic that dominated the Mediterranean world. The Republic collapsed in the 1st century BC, leading to the founding of the Roman Empire in 27 BC. At its height, the Empire stretched from Britain to Egypt and Portugal to Iraq. Rome's location placed it within a cultural sphere influenced by Greek and Etruscan civilizations. The Romans developed advanced architecture, infrastructure, and systems of government that still influence Western societies today.
Roman towns were planned according to a grid pattern with two main roads, the cardo and decumanus, intersecting at the town center. Public buildings like the forum, basilica, temples, and baths were located in the central area. The forum served as a meeting place while the basilica was used for business and legal matters. Colonies established by Rome helped extend its culture and control. They were often given defensive walls and followed a standardized grid street and land plot pattern.
The document discusses different types of city forms including the radiocentric, gridiron, and linear cities. It provides examples like Moscow as a radiocentric city with concentric rings radiating from the Kremlin. Chandigarh and San Francisco are discussed as examples of gridiron cities with orthogonal street grids. Navi Mumbai is presented as a linear city developing along transportation routes. The document also covers models of urban land use including the concentric zone, sector, and multiple nuclei models.
The document provides a brief history of urban form from early settlements to modern times. It covers the key determinants and elements that shaped cities at different periods, including:
- Early settlements were shaped by natural features and trade routes, with organic growth structures.
- Medieval cities had defensive walls, marketplaces, and churches at their core.
- Renaissance and Baroque cities emphasized aesthetics, urban scenery, and aggrandizement of rulers through architectural projects.
- 19th century cities underwent grand renewals focused on hygiene, mobility, and speculation through plans like Haussmann's redesign of Paris.
- Early 20th century modernist planning prioritized zoning, standardization, and separating functions
The document summarizes the key details of Rome's new Mobility Masterplan (PGTU). The plan aims to reduce private vehicle use, recover public spaces, and improve the environment. It proposes a new mobility model with 6 zones that have different characteristics and focus areas. The plan also outlines new public transport organization, expansion of bike/pedestrian infrastructure, support for car sharing and electric vehicles, a new freight delivery system, and a mobility control center to monitor the plan's implementation and results. The goal is to shift trips from private vehicles to public transport, walking, and cycling to cut emissions and improve air quality in Rome.
Building smart green mobility in South Tyrol through an open data hubSpeck&Tech
ABSTRACT: For decades the traditional approach for solving mobility and transportation challenges has been based on the idea of creating new road or rail infrastructures. Thanks to the impressive enhancement of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) technologies, in the last years this approach is going into the direction of rather improving the efficiency of how available transportation infrastructure is used. New digital infrastructures allow all mobility actors (vehicles, pedestrians, sensors, traffic management centers) to cooperate together to achieve the ambitious goal of improving mobility, enhancing safety, reducing congestion and environmental impacts. But how can we achieve this and ensure that public and private actors efficiently work together? In South Tyrol we have tried to give an answer to these challenges through the implementation of an open data hub, which enables the real-time data / information exchange among all interested parties and fosters the multiplication of development of research & innovation projects between local companies, research centers and public organizations. After years of implementation, the Open Data Hub South Tyrol is now creating the premises for a new historical phase for mobility in the region, with concepts like Mobility-as-a-Service or environmental traffic management that are finally moving from research to deployment.

Sharing 2.0 - collaborative consumption. The need to reinvent the personal Mobility systems in urban areas. Brief discription of Mobility sharing Systems and the importance of Shared Space and Public Space
This document discusses the functional classification of roads which involves grouping roads based on the type of service they provide to traffic flow. It describes how functional classification establishes a road network hierarchy that channels trips efficiently from local roads to collector roads to arterial roads. The classification considers a road's role in providing both access to adjacent properties and mobility for through traffic. Additional factors like trip distances, traffic volumes, and the proportion of commercial vehicles vary based on a road's functional class. The purposes of functional classification include delineating responsibilities, planning road standards, and assisting road users.

La Visión de EMBARQ en Transporte Urbano Sustentable - Holger DalkmannFagner Glinski
This document discusses strategies for scaling up sustainable transport solutions globally. It notes that cities are central to development and that avoiding unnecessary trips, shifting to more sustainable modes, and improving vehicle efficiency are needed. National policies can support cities, and decoupling economic growth from motorization could lead to green growth. Involving the private sector can leverage more investment. Domestic finance is key, and national governments can reform taxes and subsidies. Multilateral development banks and aid can also support sustainable transport in developing countries. Regional networks and technology solutions beyond fuels and vehicles are important to scaling up efforts.

La mobilité dans un monde à 2°C : quel avenir pour les zones périurbaines ?Alicia Bassière
Les voitures occupent une place centrale dans les zones périurbaines en France (et ailleurs dans le monde) : sans elles, les habitants ne peuvent simplement pas y vivre. Ou c’est ce que l’on veut nous faire croire… Quelles sont les alternatives à la voiture individuelle ? Les déplacements en zone périurbaine peuvent-ils réduire leurs émissions de CO2 de manière significative ?
Ce sont autant de questions auxquelles le groupe de travail coordonné par Francisco Luciano pour The Shift Project va tenter de répondre. Ils présenteront les résultats d’une étude argumentée sur le potentiel des alternatives de mobilité bas-carbone en zone périurbaine : un véritable réseau cyclable, le co-voiturage, des transports publics rapides et bien d’autres encore.
Ces conclusions seront présentées puis discutées avec des acteurs majeurs de la mobilité qui discuteront également du futur des voitures individuelles, ainsi que d'autres véhicules, et de leurs possible évolution dans les zones périurbaines.
