Project Public Transport Interconnections and Cable Technologies
Asnières-sur-Seine, 1 June 2015 Press Release LAUNCH OF “I2TC” PROJECT PUBLIC TRANSPORT INTERCONNECTIONS AND CABLE TECHNOLOGIES CABLE TRANSPORT FOR SUSTAINABLE CITIES The aim of the I2TC project is to adapt cable transport systems, typically used in mountain settings, to the requirements, challenges and needs of modern and sustainable cities. I2TC stands for “public transport interconnections and cable technologies”. This applied R&D project received funding from the French government after winning a call for projects (Fonds unique interministériel 17). It is being carried out by an Eiffage-led consortium comprising POMA, a cable transport specialist; RATP, a public transport corporation; CD- VIA, a consulting firm; The Vibrant Project, a digital agency; the University of Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne; and engineering schools ENSTA ParisTech and École Centrale de Lyon. Certified by the Advancity and LUTB competitiveness clusters, the €4.3 million project receives €1.6 million in funding from the Fonds unique interministériel,* the City of Paris and the Île-de-France and Rhône-Alpes regions. The three-year I2TC project will encourage the development of cable-drawn urban transport both domestically and worldwide and will spotlight France’s excellence in this field. The project’s major goal is to relieve traffic congestion by overcoming various obstacles and congested roads and by taking fullest advantage of the third, overhead dimension as a dedicated public transport lane. By avoiding interference with ground vehicle traffic, this method of transport provides an opportunity to improve dense or suburban sections of metropolitan areas and extend existing urban networks. I2TC takes a market-based approach to implementing sustainable development objectives, with a strong focus on contemporary and future cities’ social and civic goals as well as a low-carbon, economical and energy-efficient environmental solution leading to significant urban improvement. -

While the world population is expected to grow to 8.3 billion by 2030, public transport will remain the backbone of multi-modal mobility services in the future. The future market will have options within multi-modal mobility. As per UITP’s Grow with Public Transport Strategy, almost 60% of the world’s population will be living in urban areas by 2025. This implies that people will want and need to make more journeys. Urban Mobility: Think Big Act Smart is the slogan of 2016 MENA Transport Congress & exhibition. This slogan is selected to ensure that we liberate the cities of the future from the environmental, economic and social consequences of traffic congestion. The congress program will attract governments, city authorities and transport professionals from different part of the world in order to share knowledge and experience. MENA Transport Congress & Exhibition & National Association of Public Transport has joint ventured to stage school transport conference together, thus enhancing the program. The public transport authorities of the region are also keen and investing in school transport operation projects like Roads and Transports Authority (RTA) who has recently established a school transport department and ventured into school transport operation aiming at providing safe and smooth transport for all students of different ages. -

M. E. M. Najar & A. Khalfan Al Rahbi, Int. J. Transp. Dev. Integr., Vol. 1, No. 4 (2017) 654–665 INVESTIGATION FUTURE PLANNING OF RAILWAY NETWORKS IN THE ARABS GULF COUNTRIES MOHAMMAD EMAD MOTIEYAN NAJAR & ALIA KHALFAN AL RAHBI Department of Civil Engineering, Middle East College, Muscat, Oman ABSTRACT Trans-border railroad in the Arabian Peninsula dates back to the early 20th century in Saudi Arabia. Over the recent decades due to increasing population and developing industrial zones, the demands are growing up over time. The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is now embarking on one of the largest modern cross-border rail networks in the world. This is an ambitious step regarding the planning and establishment of the rail network connecting all the six GCC countries. This railway network will go through at least one city in each country to link the cities of Kuwait in Kuwait, Dammam in Saudi Arabia, Manama in Bahrain, Doha in Qatar, the cities of Abu Dhabi and Al Ain in the United Arab Emirates and Sohar and then Muscat in Oman in terms of cargo and passengers. The area of investigation covers different aspects of the shared Arabian countries rail routes called ‘GCC line’ and their national rail network. The aim of this article is to study the existing future plans and policies of the GCC countries shared line and domestic railway network. This article studies the national urban (light rail transportation (LRT), metro (subways) and intercity rail transportation to appraise the potential of passenger movement and commodity transportation at present and in the future. -

Riyadh’s rapid growth path As the capital city of the fast growing US$ 800 billion Saudi economy, the largest in the Middle East, North Africa and Turkey (MENAT) region, 1 Riyadh has evolved in the last 50 years into one of the region’s most important economic, governmental, and cultural centres. The city has benefited from several successive cycles of local and foreign direct investment, urban planning expertise, infrastructure investment and inward migration of workers. Today it is a key node in the Middle East system of cities. Figure 1: Riyadh’s population growth; Source: UN World Urbanisation Prospects 2018 Since the 1970s Riyadh has seen its population increase by more than 8% per year. Its population has almost doubled since 2000, and is still expected to grow by more than 25% up to 2035, making it one of the world’s fastest growing cities and the largest agglomeration in the Gulf region. 2 In line with population growth, Riyadh’s spatial footprint grew from 64km2 in 1970 to more than 1,500km2 in 2020. Compared to other fast-growing cities, Riyadh’s housing supply has kept pace with the rapid population growth, and demands on public services and infrastructure have continued to intensify. -
