As such ÖBB ranks fifth among a total of 500 Austrian companies. 8/24 VCÖ railway test reveals trend toward taking the train There are already a lot of people who prefer to take the train rather than drive, although frequently the car could also be an option. For many passengers, an improved portfolio of rail products and services (68%) and shorter travel times (71%) are the key deciding factors. 7/11 9/10 ÖBB wants ÖBB at “Open to become a House Vienna” top employer 800 (!) people took advantage of According to the Employer Brand the opportunity to have a look at Study, ÖBB currently ranks a good the Service Design Center, a model 14th out of 37 surveyed compa- open-plan office, and the Skylobby nies in Austria.

  • Brenner Base Tunnel: Strabag Consortium Awarded Contract for Main Section Tulfes–Pfons in Tyrol
    Press Release Investor Information 4 June 2014 BRENNER BASE TUNNEL: STRABAG CONSORTIUM AWARDED CONTRACT FOR MAIN SECTION TULFES–PFONS IN TYROL Contract value of about € 380 million Bidding consortium of STRABAG AG (consortium leader with 51 %) and Salini Impregilo (49 %) Construction time 2014–2019 Vienna, 4 June 2014 Following expiry of the legally prescribed deadline for objections, the bidding consortium consisting of STRABAG and Salini Impregilo has officially been awarded the largest contract section to date for the Brenner Base Tunnel (BBT). For a contract value of about € 380 million, the consortium will build the twin-tube rail tunnel between Tulfes and Pfons as well as a section of the exploratory tunnel, the new rescue tunnel running parallel to the existing Innsbruck bypass, and two connecting side tunnels. The construction time for the approximately 38 tunnel kilometres is scheduled at 55 months, with work set to begin in the second half of 2014. The BBT, the heart of the new rail connection between Munich and Verona, runs for 55 km between Innsbruck and Franzensfeste (Fortezza). Including the existing Innsbruck bypass, which will connect with the BBT, the stretch of tunnel through the Alps comes to a total of 64 km, making it the longest underground railway connection in the world. The BBT consists of two single-track tubes, each 8.1 m wide, at a distance of 70 m from one another. The two tubes are linked at every 333 m through connecting side tunnels as escape routes in emergencies. The nearly horizontal stretch of tunnel avoids the gradients of the existing, more than 140-year-old Brenner Railway.

Input is also acknowledged from: H Trevor Jones, Ian McDonald, Hugh McLintock, Michael Hardy, Les Fawcett and Peter Walker. www.railfuture.org.uk Railfuture is the campaigning name for The Railway Development Society which is a not for profit Company Limited by Guarantee Website: http://railfuture.org.uk Registered in England and Wales no 5011634. Registered Office: 24 Chedworth Place, Tattingstone, Suffolk IP9 2ND 1 2 INTRODUCTION The Railway Development Society Ltd., campaigning as Railfuture, is an independent voluntary body for rail users which campaigned for many years for a Channel Tunnel. Since the opening of the Tunnel and inauguration of Eurostar trains in 1994, we have actively promoted these services and the new environmentally friendly journey opportuinities they have introduced. As founder members of the European Passengers’ Federation we have worked with similar organisations in France, Belgium and fifteen other European countries to promote the services and identify possible improvements. Between December 2007 and March 2008 we undertook a snapshot survey of customers’ experiences and issued a report. We undertook a second survey of journeys made between June and September 2011. We changed some of the questions in the light of developments since 2008 but our aim has remained to identify good and bad points and see what progress has been made in the customer experience since 2007/8. This time we also conducted a Mystery Shopper exercise to see how well promoted the Eurostar service is elsewhere on the British network; how helpful and informative are the call centres that customers might phone; and how easy or helpful are the websites they might visit.

  • The Future for Interurban Passenger Transport
    The future for interurban passenger transport M a d r i d Bringing citizens closer together 1 8 t h International Symposium on Transport Economics and Policy The future for interurban passenger transport Bringing citizens closer together Economic growth, trade and the concentration of population in large cities will intensify demand for interurban transport services. Concurrently, the need to manage environmental impacts effectively will increase. How successful we are in coping with demand will depend on our ability to innovate, to manage congestion, and The future to improve the quality of transport services. Technological and regulatory innovation will shape the future of transport. The Symposium brought together leading transport researchers from for interurban around the world to explore the future for interurban passenger transport. A first set of papers investigates what drives demand for interurban passenger transport and infers how it may evolve in the passenger future. The remaining papers investigate transport policy issues that emerge as key challenges: when to invest in high-speed rail, how to regulate to ensure efficient operation, how to assign infrastructure to transport different types of users, and how to control transport’s environmental footprint by managing modal split and improving modal performance.

  • Analysis of High Speed Trains
    JOURNAL OF CRITICAL REVIEWS ISSN- 2394-5125 VOL 7, ISSUE 10, 2020 Analysis of High Speed Trains Varun Mohan1, Santosh Kumar2 1,2Dept. of General Science,Sharda University, Greater Noida, U.P. Email Id- [email protected], [email protected] Received: 6 February 2020 Revised and Accepted: 21 May 2020 ABSTRACT: This article introduces the concept of great-speed trains in simplistic engineering terms. High speed trains are those that have high running velocities and require specific construction and equipment for their operation. This review aims to discuss how the high speed trains function and what implications they have on public transportation. The objective of this review is to introduce to the reader the functions of a great-speed rail. The scope of this review only extends to reviewing the relevant material provided. This paper does not involve an experimental or simulation study. The paper is organized into four sections. Types of tracks, Power, Flow field around the train and economic efficiency of the train. In the depth of this paper, the detailed explanation of the track system, power generation, aerodynamics, and the economic efficiency of the high speed train are provided, which will give a perfect visualization of the mechanism [how it works] of the whole system. KEYWORDS: Aerodynamics, Efficiency, Speed, Tracks, Trains I. INTRODUCTION "High speed rail," experiencing this process, offers several citizens a vision of a train that runs at an incredible speed (e.g. Japanese Bullet Train, the quickest train in the world). But is it really simple idea of high speed train? Is it just going at a fast pace, because it's obvious? The reaction is no.
