  • Proximity Indexing of Public Transport Terminals in Metro Manila
    sustainability Article Proximity Indexing of Public Transport Terminals in Metro Manila Krister Ian Daniel Roquel *, Raymund Paolo Abad and Alexis Fillone Civil Engineering Department, De La Salle University, Manila 1004, Philippines; [email protected] (R.P.A.); alexis.fi[email protected] (A.F.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Despite the extensive transit network in Metro Manila, intermodal connections between public transportation services are still fragmented. In response, authorities proposed various mul- timodal transport terminals around the periphery of the metropolis. However, there is a need to understand how these proposed terminals will impact existing transportation infrastructure and services as well as the current travel demand. This paper proposes a method that quantifies the nearness of any subject to any metric of interest, or in this case, the location of the terminal based on its proximity to existing transit supply and demand at different points in the transport network. It involves a simple methodology that requires only the spatial distribution of relevant transport planning data (e.g., public transport services, public transport passenger activity). It was found that the spatial distribution of the transport terminals in the study area is more closely related to the transit supply. Using the same methodology, several potential locations in Metro Manila (e.g., central terminal, terminal along a major junction) were assessed to see whether these are viable sites for a multimodal terminal. One scenario configuration was found to be better integrated with where trips start and/or end, while another seemed to improve integration of the existing railways. Keywords: intermodal; transit demand; transit supply; Metro Manila Citation: Roquel, K.I.D.; Abad, R.P.; Fillone, A.

  • 1. MAERSK LINE VS COURT of APPEALS FACTS: Maersk Line Is
    1. MAERSK LINE VS COURT OF APPEALS FACTS: Maersk Line is engaged in the transportation of goods by sea, doing business in the Philippines through its general agent Compania General de Tabacos de Filipinas. Private respondent Efren Castillo is the proprietor of Ethegal Laboratories, a firm engaged in the manufacture of pharmaceutical products. On November 12, 1976, private respondent ordered from Eli Lilly. Inc. of Puerto Rico through its agent in the Philippines, Elanco Products, 600,000 empty gelatin capsules for the manufacture of his pharmaceutical products. The capsules were placed in six (6) drums of 100,000 capsules each valued at US $1,668.71. The 600,000 empty gelatin capsules in six drums were already shipped on board MV "Anders Maerskline" for shipment to the Philippines via Oakland, California. Shipper Eli Lilly, Inc. specified the date of arrival to be April 3, 1977. Said cargo of capsules were mishipped and diverted to Richmond, Virginia, USA and then transported back Oakland, Califorilia. The goods finally arrived in the Philippines on June 10, 1977 or after two (2) months from the date specified in the memorandum. As a consequence, private respondent as consignee refused to take delivery of the goods on account of its failure to arrive on time. Private respondent alleging gross negligence and undue delay in the delivery of the goods, filed an action before the trial for rescission of contract with damages against petitioner and Eli Lilly, Inc. as defendants. Denying that it committed breach of contract, petitioner alleged in its that answer that the subject shipment was transported in accordance with the provisions of the covering bill of lading and that its liability under the law on transportation of good attaches only in case of loss, destruction or deterioration of the goods as provided for in Article 1734 of Civil Code.

  • Battling Congestion in Manila: the Edsa Problem
    Transport and Communications Bulletin for Asia and the Pacific No. 82, 2013 BATTLING CONGESTION IN MANILA: THE EDSA PROBLEM Yves Boquet ABSTRACT The urban density of Manila, the capital of the Philippines, is one the highest of the world and the rate of motorization far exceeds the street capacity to handle traffic. The setting of the city between Manila Bay to the West and Laguna de Bay to the South limits the opportunities to spread traffic from the south on many axes of circulation. Built in the 1940’s, the circumferential highway EDSA, named after historian Epifanio de los Santos, seems permanently clogged by traffic, even if the newer C-5 beltway tries to provide some relief. Among the causes of EDSA perennial difficulties, one of the major factors is the concentration of major shopping malls and business districts alongside its course. A second major problem is the high number of bus terminals, particularly in the Cubao area, which provide interregional service from the capital area but add to the volume of traffic. While authorities have banned jeepneys and trisikel from using most of EDSA, this has meant that there is a concentration of these vehicles on side streets, blocking the smooth exit of cars. The current paper explores some of the policy options which may be considered to tackle congestion on EDSA . INTRODUCTION Manila1 is one of the Asian megacities suffering from the many ills of excessive street traffic. In the last three decades, these cities have experienced an extraordinary increase in the number of vehicles plying their streets, while at the same time they have sprawled into adjacent areas forming vast megalopolises, with their skyline pushed upwards with the construction of many high-rises.

  • An Ergonomic Study on the UP-Dilimanjeepney Driver’S Workspace and Driving Conditions
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia Manufacturing 3 ( 2015 ) 2597 – 2604 6th International Conference on Applied Human Factors and Ergonomics (AHFE 2015) and the Affiliated Conferences, AHFE 2015 An ergonomic study on the UP-Dilimanjeepney driver’s workspace and driving conditions Ma. Carmella Coz, Paul Jason Flores, Kim Louie Hernandez, Alyssa Jean Portus* College of Engineering, University of the Philippines Diliman, Quezon City 1101, Philippines Abstract The Philippine Jeepney is one of the most popular, the most accessible and cheapest medium of public transportation in the country. During their driving period, an average of 10 hours a day, the Filipino jeepney drivers are exposed to sustained awkward postures. This research aims to evaluate the drivers’ workspace and driving conditions in relation to their anthropometric measurements and their workspace dimensions in order to determine the sources of awkward postures.A comprehensive survey among jeepney drivers inside the UP Diliman campus was conducted to identify the discomforts experienced by the drivers. In addition, a workspace evaluation in comparison with the drivers’ anthropometric measurement was also administered to seek out discrepancies that accounts for the discomforts felt. Results reveal that jeepney drivers’ working conditions pose danger to their health and safety. For instance, there is an insufficient distance between the steering wheel and driver’s seat causing restraint to the drivers’ mobility. The limited height of the windshield also blocks the driver’s line of sight keeping the drivers leaning forward when looking for traffic signs. Recommendations were made to improve the working conditions of the Filipino jeepney drivers. © 2015 PublishedThe Authors.
