Texxi is a system that uses optimization algorithms and social networking to group people traveling similar routes together in shared taxis. This improves efficiency by reducing empty seats and lowers costs for passengers. Key lessons from deployments include taking time to develop relationships with local taxi firms, focusing marketing efforts on current customers to spread by word of mouth, and allowing time for new behaviors to develop naturally in a community. Future plans include expanding to new regions and upgrading systems to better track impacts on fuel use and carbon emissions.
Business advantages of the international railway law for railway undertakings...Ibrahim Al-Hudhaif
The document discusses the business advantages of international railway law for railway undertakings in the Arabian peninsula. It notes that a single legal regime established by the Convention concerning International Carriage by Rail (COTIF) reduces administrative costs by around 10% by providing uniform rules for international contracts. These rules promote legal certainty and reduce legal costs compared to separate national laws and contracts. The Convention and its protocols establish standardized rules for relationships between carriers, customers, infrastructure managers and others.

Smart Sensors for Infrastructure and Structural Health MonitoringJeffrey Funk
These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled analyzing hi-tech opportunities to show how smart sensors are becoming more economically feasible and more widely used in infrastructure. This is enabling greater monitoring and self-healing of structures. Twenty years ago, it was improvements in MEMS, piezo-electric ceramics, and ultrasonic sensors that was enabling structural health monitoring. More recently, it has been improvements in fiber optic sensors, wireless sensors and RFID tags that are enabling this monitoring. Today, it is the falling cost of these components and their combination with more recently available ones such as ionomers (a type of polymer), carbon nano-tubes, and energy harvesters. Improvements in these sensors have enabled the absolute cost of sensors and their percentage of costs in for example bridges to fall over the last 20 years to fall. These trends are expected to continue and become applicable to a broader number of structures including buildings and vehicles.
P K Smith's published case study on Public-Private Partnerships, focusing on ...P. K. Smith 保羅・史密斯
The document summarizes the unique public-private partnership formed to finance the construction of an airport light rail line in Portland, Oregon. Key points:
- The idea originated from informal discussions between the Port of Portland's executive director and two others. They formed a "Gang of Five" partnership with other agencies to oversee the project.
- The project was divided into three segments and financed through different means, including passenger facility charges, urban renewal bonds, and payroll taxes.
- Private engineering firm Bechtel was central to the partnership, agreeing to take on real estate risk and provide financing in exchange for long-term development rights to property along the rail line.
This document provides an overview and analysis of the proposed strategic alliance between Qantas Airways and Air New Zealand that was denied approval by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission in September 2003. It discusses the airline industries in Australia and New Zealand, detailing the history of deregulation in both countries. It then describes the proposed alliance between Qantas and Air New Zealand, which combined elements of a merger and comprehensive alliance, and was intended to create an effective monopoly in certain markets. Finally, it discusses the reviews and analyses conducted by the Australian and New Zealand competition authorities that ultimately led to the proposed alliance being denied authorization.

Cost-Benefit Analysis of Sydney's Second AirportJonathon Flegg
This memo evaluates three policy alternatives to address the projected capacity constraints at Sydney's Kingsford-Smith Airport by 2029: 1) maintaining the status quo, 2) removing the regulatory cap on hourly flight movements, or 3) building a new secondary airport at Badgery's Creek. A cost-benefit analysis over 50 years was conducted. It found building a new airport at Badgery's Creek would provide an additional $5.22 billion in net social benefits and is the preferred option. Maintaining the status quo would result in serious delays by 2022. Removing the flight cap is not socially efficient according to the analysis.
10 Ways Congress Can Help Shippers and CarriersJOCNews
The document discusses recommendations from industry executives for improving US infrastructure and transportation systems.

The document discusses the history and redevelopment plans for L.F. Wade International Airport in Bermuda. It outlines the Progressive Labour Party's vision of creating an Airport Authority to finance upgrades while maintaining public ownership and control. However, the One Bermuda Alliance plans to privatize the airport through a sole-sourced "concessionary agreement" with the Canadian Commercial Corporation, granting it revenues over 30-35 years. The PLP argues this lacks transparency and the UK requires an open tender process to ensure best value for Bermuda.

The document discusses Singapore's shifting public transport model away from a regulated franchise system towards one with greater state involvement. It describes how the government is taking on ownership of fixed assets like trains and buses, and shortening operator contracts. This approach is similar to models used in London and other cities where operators bid for contracts with clear service standards. While nationalization raises concerns about efficiency, the current system in Singapore also faces issues, and greater state ownership may help address problems like rising subsidies.

Aircraft Maintenance Repair & Overhaul Market StudyLynn Aziz
- The global aircraft fleet is expected to triple to 44,000 aircraft by 2035, with the European fleet nearly doubling, driven by continued air traffic growth. However, MRO market growth will be less than fleet growth due to declining maintenance requirements per aircraft.
- MRO activity has shifted from airlines to independent specialists seeking lower costs through economies of scale and locations with lower labor costs. Consolidation among MRO providers continues in Europe.
- There is potential opportunity to develop a competitive MRO facility focused on narrowbody aircraft at Glasgow Airport, leveraging proximity to European customers and reasonable costs compared to Europe. State aid may help attract investment. Raising financing remains a major challenge without MRO industry investment.
The document discusses Bombardier's acquisition of Adtranz, a railway equipment manufacturer. It presents key details about Bombardier and Adtranz, including their business portfolios and the importance of the European railway market. The acquisition could provide growth opportunities for Bombardier in Europe, but also integration challenges.

This document provides information about Heathrow Airport's consultation on its proposals to expand the airport. It discusses Heathrow today as the UK's only hub airport and biggest port by value for trade outside the EU. However, its runways are full. It then outlines the background that led to the decision to expand Heathrow, including an independent commission recommending expansion and the UK government endorsing this. The consultation document seeks views on Heathrow's preferred masterplan for expansion, future airport operations, assessment of expansion effects, and plans to manage those effects.
The document discusses the evolution of intermodal transportation services and how they now offer greater service breadth and reliability. It notes that intermodal services originally provided a slower alternative to trucking with unpredictable transit times between a limited set of origins and destinations. However, intermodal services have expanded in recent years to include a wider range of transportation and distribution options. This full suite of interdependent intermodal services can now play an important role in domestic and global supply chains by providing shippers with reliable transit between many origin-destination pairs.
Through contractual arrangements, NASA allows commercial entities to utilize excess capacity at its unique facilities. This helps NASA maintain facilities and critical skills between space programs while facilitating commercial space industry development. Contractors can enter reimbursement agreements with NASA's approval to host non-government customers. This provides benefits like cost savings, retaining workforce expertise, and assisting future NASA programs.
Portfolio Construction Journal Paper - NGoh2007Nick Goh
Operating leases over transportation assets like planes, ships and trains can provide an attractive new asset class for investors. Research shows operating leases have generated solid long-term returns of around 8-13% annually with lower volatility than traditional assets of 3-5%. They also exhibit low correlations to stocks, bonds and property. However, residual value risk is the main risk, as at the end of the lease the asset may be worth less than assumed. Overall, adding operating leases can improve the risk-return profile of a portfolio through diversification.
