Irptn Background IRPTN BACKGROUND HiMA Workshop CSIR 07 November 2013 Craig Bradley 2 Historical Consequences – Typical PT Development evelopment ! Radial pattern of transport ! Workers required to travel into and out of the CBD daily ! CBD is the main node within city structure ! Low levels of connectivity between the peripheral areas ! Places increasing pressure on the system ! Many one way roads - to improve traffic flow ! Significant portion of income spent on travel costs ! Travel time from outskirts long 01/2012 3 Redressing the Past ! Governments Public Transport Action Agenda ! National Transport Action Plan approved by cabinet 2007 ! Redefine and Restructure PT in cities by 2020 ! 12 cities identified for IRPTN projects ! Specific funding from National Government ! Through Public Transport Infrastructure & Systems Grant (PTISG) ! Authorised by NDoT ! Financed by National Treasury 01/2012 4 • The majority of users (85%) must be within walking distance of a PT Service IRPTN Objectives • The service should be affordable to all • Universal accessibility • Net reduction in carbon emissions by transport • Low physical impact on the environment Equity of access to opportunity • Reduced congestion and dependency on car Reduction of the overall impact of transport on the environment • Safe • Secure • Human orientated environment Promotion of a livable city • Concentration of activities and services within transit corridors. • Optimum land-use mix and O-D Enhance the city’s spatial structure patterns • Low income and affordable accommodation Provide a quality of service for captive users that is • Mimic private vehicle travel also acceptable to traditional car users patterns • Reliable and available for the majority of the day Have a positive impact on the city’s economy • Have adequate capacity • Image and branding that instills civic pride • Create employment • Empower existing operators • Long term economic sustainability 01/2012 What is an IRPTN – Why Change? ! We need to move people in a more sustainable way to ensure the longevity of our urban and rural environments ! Greater than 60% of travellers use public transport ! Reduce the overall cost of travel in the long term – “means to an end” ! Reduce the demand for road space and achieve more liveable cities What is an IRPTN ? – Integration of Different Transport Systems BRT High-Speed Train Suburban Rail pax 15-25 pax Bus Opex RAIL cents per IRPTN PRT 70-140cents per Monorail Streetcar BUS Opex pax Metro Metro pax LRT 15-35 centsper 15-20 cents per TRAM Opex METRO Opex 7 ….including Taxis…… 01/2012 8 Bus Rapid Transport ! Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) is one component of an IRPTN 01/2012 9 Bus Rapid Transport ! Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) is one component of an IRPTN ! Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) is not a normal bus service 01/2012 10 Bus Rapid Transport ! Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) is one component of an IRPTN ! Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) is not a normal bus service ! BRT is a high quality, efficient transport system that delivers fast comfortable urban mobility through the provision of dedicated right of way infrastructure, rapid and frequent operations, excellent customer service 01/2012 11 Bus Rapid Transport ! Dedicated Right of Way ! Demarcated or Kerbed boundaries ! Universal access points ! Move high passenger volumes – peak periods ! Integrated Complimentary Feeder services ! Extended hours of operation (16-24 hours) ! Peak frequencies (5-10min), ! Off peak frequencies (10-30min) ! Full special needs and wheel chair access 01/2012 12 Bus Rapid Transport ?...... • ….or CHAOS! • Guangzhou BRT, China 01/2012 13 BRT Legislation ! Principal legislation is the South Africa National Road Traffic Act, 1996, as amended. ! Complemented by the National Road Traffic Regulations, which have been lawfully amended 18 times with 19th currently in draft. ! Cover all aspects of vehicle specifications in SA ! Recent amendments have been specifically targeted at BRT operations and BRT vehicles. 01/2012 14 BRT Legislation ! Specific changes with respect to traffic loading: ! Regulation 240 is amended to include: “…provided that in the case of a rapid transport bus-train the limit on the drive axle shall be 13 000 kilograms and on the other non-steering axle shall be 13 000 kilograms.” ! Regulation 240 is amended to include: “…provided that in the case of a rapid transport complementary bus, or a rapid transport trunk bus, this limit shall be 12 000 kilograms.” ! Regulation 293 is amended to limit the speed of a rapid transport bus-train to 100 km/h. ! Based on current legislation, the design axle loading for the structural pavement design of the BRT lanes shall thus be limited to a maximum of 13 tons per axle, based on a single axle dual wheel configuration (4 wheels per single axle). 01/2012 15 Design Traffic ! Implementation by 2020 ! Extensive traffic modelling and calibration ! Peak passenger volumes determined ! Peak headway of 1 minute ! Off peak headway 5 minutes !

They provide rail-like quality for bus services for a fraction of the cost of fixed rail. Many claims of high and increasing ridership have resulted from BRT system development; however it is unclear exactly which aspects of BRT system design drive this.

  • Busway Platform Bus Capacity Analysis
    Busway Platform Bus Capacity Analysis Sumeet Kumar Jaiswal B.E. (Civil), M. Tech (Transportation) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Urban Development Faculty of Built Environment & Engineering Queensland University of Technology December 2010 Dedicated to my dear sister Deepti Muley Keywords BRT, busway, capacity, lost time, crowd, transit, public transport, interface, dwell time. Sumeet Jaiswal Page i Abstract Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), because of its operational flexibility and simplicity, is rapidly gaining popularity with urban designers and transit planners. Earlier BRTs were bus shared lane or bus only lane, which share the roadway with general and other forms of traffic. In recent time, more sophisticated designs of BRT have emerged, such as busway, which has separate carriageway for buses and provides very high physical separation of buses from general traffic. Line capacities of a busway are predominately dependent on bus capacity of its stations. Despite new developments in BRT designs, the methodology of capacity analysis is still based on traditional principles of kerbside bus stop on bus only lane operations. Consequently, the tradition methodology lacks accounting for various dimensions of busway station operation, such as passenger crowd, passenger walking and bus lost time along the long busway station platform. This research has developed a purpose made bus capacity analysis methodology for busway station analysis. Extensive observations of kerbside bus stops and busway stations in Brisbane, Australia were made and differences in their operation were studied. A large scale data collection was conducted using the video recording technique at the Mater Hill Busway Station on the South East Busway in Brisbane.
