It is not the purpose of such an investigation to establish blame or liability. Accordingly, it is inappropriate that RAIB reports should be used to assign fault or blame, or determine liability, since neither the investigation nor the reporting process has been undertaken for that purpose. The RAIB’s findings are based on its own evaluation of the evidence that was available at the time of the investigation and are intended to explain what happened, and why, in a fair and unbiased manner.

  • A Study on Connectivity and Accessibility Between Tram Stops and Public Facilities: a Case Study in the Historic Cities of Europe
    Urban Street Design & Planning 73 A study on connectivity and accessibility between tram stops and public facilities: a case study in the historic cities of Europe Y. Kitao1 & K. Hirano2 1Kyoto Women’s University, Japan 2Kei Atelier, Yame, Fukuoka, Japan Abstract The purpose of this paper is to understand urban structures in terms of tram networks by using the examples of historic cities in Europe. We have incorporated the concept of interconnectivity and accessibility between public facilities and tram stops to examine how European cities, which have built world class public transportation systems, use the tram network in relationship to their public facilities. We selected western European tram-type cities which have a bus system, but no subway system, and we focused on 24 historic cities with populations from 100,000 to 200,000, which is the optimum size for a large-scale community. In order to analyze the relationship, we mapped the ‘pedestrian accessible area’ from any tram station in the city, and analyzed how many public facilities and pedestrian streets were in this area. As a result, we were able to compare the urban space structures of these cities in terms of the accessibility and connectivity between their tram stops and their public facilities. Thus we could understand the features which determined the relationship between urban space and urban facilities. This enabled us to evaluate which of our target cities was the most pedestrian orientated city. Finally, we were able to define five categories of tram-type cities. These findings have provided us with a means to recognize the urban space structure of a city, which will help us to improve city planning in Japan.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE the Disability Resources Centre
    DISABILITY RESOURCES CENTRE (INC.) 3rd Floor, Ross House 247 Flinders Lane MELBOURNE 3000 Ph. 9671 3000 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Disability Resources Centre welcomes Tram Stop Upgrades 9th May 2018 The DRC congratulates the Victorian Government on the announcement to upgrade the existing tram system, making it more accessible for people with disabilities. We are pleased that new island platforms will enable people with wheelchairs and mobility aids to travel independently to several Melbourne hospitals, cultural centres and places of education. The Disability Resources Centre (DRC) is a member-driven organisation that is managed and staffed by people with disabilities. We promote the rights of people with disabilities through individual and systemic advocacy. We are currently conducting an Accessible Public Transport project investigating the major transport issues faced by Victorians with disabilities. Throughout our consultation process we have recorded several examples of people with disabilities being unable to access essential services or popular destinations due to inaccessible trams. A mother living in a regional area shared that she regularly travels by train to Melbourne for hospital appointments with her son, yet there is no accessible public transport from the CBD train station to the hospital. She recalled being unable to exit the tram at the hospital, not knowing where the next accessible stop would be and whether she would arrive in time for the appointment, after travelling hours to get there. The new raised platforms will enable them to take the full journey from home to the hospital on public transport reducing the uncertainty, stress and cost they currently face.

    What to do in Hakodate It has been said that Hakodate is one of Japan's most popular tourist destinations. The following guide contains brief descriptions of many of the places of interest and restaurants to help you decide whether or not Hakodate deserves such high praise. These recommendations are not exhaustive but are places that we believe will be of interest to the AAMAS conference attendees. Internet Links There are of course many ‘offline’ and ‘online’ guides to Hakodate to which we strongly recommend you refer. Here are some Internet links (both in English and Japanese), for those of you that wish to discover more about the city.

    DRAFT 59 Rail Futures Inc THE MELBOURNE RAIL PLAN Moving People in a City of 8 Million 25 May 2019 This paper has been prepared by Rail Futures Incorporated in the public interest. Rail Futures Inc is an independent non-partisan group formed to advocate cost effective rail and intermodal solutions for public transport and freight problems based on sound commercial, economic and social reasoning. Rail Futures members include experienced rail professionals, engineers, planners and economists. Melbourne Rail Plan 2019-2050, May 2019 Version 59 - DRAFT FOR COMMENT Rail Futures Institute 1 Foreword Melbourne once had one of the world’s best public transport systems. The forethought and planning of Victorians more than a century ago, and their capacity to value the welfare of Victorians of the future -us - as highly as their own, helped make Melbourne one of the world’s economically most productive and liveable cities. For the past few generations, myopia, carelessness and excessive valuation of the present over the future have been squandering that wonderful legacy. The economic and social life of this city will be deeply impaired by barriers to movement of people around the city unless chronic underinvestment over recent generations is remedied. The Melbourne Rail Plan 2019-50 demonstrates the way to correct the mistakes of recent generations, and that some contemporary Victorians are up to the challenge. The Report is comprehensive, creative and authoritative. It is an excellent foundation for rebuilding Melbourne to secure its position as one of the world’s most successful cities. Melbourne is growing more rapidly than any other large city in the developed world.

  • The Influence of the Use of Index Numbers of Maintenance Costs of Urban Public Transport Systems on the Outcome of Cost-Benefit Analyses
    THE INFLUENCE OF THE USE OF INDEX NUMBERS OF MAINTENANCE COSTS OF URBAN PUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEMS ON THE OUTCOME OF COST-BENEFIT ANALYSES GEERT-JAN WILBRINK April 13, 2018 Centre for Transport Studies Faculty of Engineering University of Twente Supervisors: Supervisors: prof. dr. ing. Karst Geurs ir. Martijn Donders dr. Tom Thomas ir. Thijs Teunissen dr. Irina Stipanovic Frontpage figure is adopted from the university corparate identity (University of Twente, n.d.) 2 ABSTRACT In this research the influence of the use of index numbers of maintenance costs on the outcome of cost-benefit analyses (CBAs) is analysed. First the importance of maintenance costs in decision- making is researched. Then, an overview of maintenance costs for various types of infrastructure and vehicles is made. Next, it is tried to explain possible variations in the maintenance costs. Finally, newly estimated maintenance costs are substituted in already existing CBAs, to study its effect on the outcome of these CBAs. To research if maintenance costs are taken into account in decision-making, twelve interviews are held. The interviews are held with transport authorities, rail operators, a bus operator, municipali- ties, and a consultancy. Based on these interviews, it can be concluded that in general maintenance costs are taken into account in decision-making. This is mainly the case for bus vehicles, rail vehi- cles, and bus infrastructure, but less so for rail infrastructure. One way of including maintenance costs in decision-making, is the use of a CBA. In this study an overview of maintenance costs for five types of infrastructure and eight types of vehicles is made.
