    DEAR FRIENDS! In this edition of 2010 report the reader will find most important and interesting information about Moscow metro operation and cultural events, about major improvements and modernization, achievements in metro development, construction and enhancement of safety and security measures. In the past year we celebrated the 75th anniversary of Moscow metro, opened several stations, made technical improvements and continued restoration of historical stations. We are looking forward with hope. Thanks to the support of Moscow city government and assistance of our strategic partners our customers will be able to maintain positive tendencies in our performance and service culture. We are planning to build new lines and stations on a large scale and implement the plan of technical modernization to meet expectations of all our customers.

  • Tver If You Are on the Group Flight, You Will Be Met at the Airport by Your RLUS Representatives
    Your Arrival in Tver If you are on the group flight, you will be met at the airport by your RLUS representatives. There may be many students coming through all at once, so please be patient. You will then be taken to Tver in a minibus provided by the university, and will be taken to your accommodation. The journey to Tver is relatively short - approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes depending on traffic. If you are not travelling with the RLUS group flight, you will be expected to make your own way to Tver and to your accommodation. We will provide you with your address and transport information in this case. Public transport from the airport is reasonably-priced and easily navigable. All Moscow airports have a train service to the city, called Aeroexpress. The train costs 500 roubles and takes approximately 45 minutes to get to the city, depending on which airport you arrive at. When you arrive at the station, follow the signs to the metro, which is characterised by a big red M. You can buy tickets from the ticket office inside. Once you arrive into central Moscow, you can take an elektrichka train to Tver – these are small, local trains for which you do not need to buy a ticket in advance. You’d better take a local high-speed train called “Lastochka” Moscow – Tver. It takes 1 hour and 40 min. to get to Tver. It costs 535 roubles. You should buy a ticket at a railway station cash desk or from machines at the train station.

  • Qualitative and Quantitative Identification of Pah in the Bottom Sediments of Moscow Urban Rivers
    D. Kramer & I. Tikhonova, Int. J. Sus. Dev. Plann. Vol. 10, No. 1 (2015) 76–86 QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE IDENTIFICATION OF PAH IN THE BOTTOM SEDIMENTS OF MOSCOW URBAN RIVERS D. KRAMER & I. TIKHONOVA Faculty of Biotechnology and Industrial Ecology, Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia, Russian Federation. ABSTRACT Qualitative and quantitative identification of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in bottom sediments of Moscow urban rivers with different levels of anthropogenic impact was made, the content of PAH was measured and a comparison between PAH content in Moscow urban rivers and other environmental objects was carried out. The results of our observation showed that bottom sediments of Moscow contain PAHs such as anthracene, fluoranthene, benzo(a)pyrene and others with the composition of PAH being the same for dif- ferent rivers. Fluoranthene and benzo(b)fluoranthene have the highest concentrations and rivers Tarakanovka and Nischcenka are the most polluted rivers with the latest having PAH containment over 28 mg/kg in sample point no. 4. River Los is the cleanest river and has the same PAH concentrations as background territories have. Keywords: Moscow urban rivers, bottom sediments, PAH identification. 1 INTRODUCTION On Moscow urban territory, there are 141 small rivers and streams together with 430 ponds. The largest of them are rivers Yauza, Shodnya and Setun, which begin in Moscow region and are tributar- ies to Moscow River. The existing drainage system in the city is functionally used in the removal and treatment of surface runoff. Water bodies, partially deformed by technical means, together with the city’s drainage network form a single collector and river network.

Lebedev1, K.V. Romanevich1 1OJSС “NIPII “Lenmetrogiprotrans”, Saint-Petersburg, Russia E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: A new approach provides increased economic efficiency of the design decisions and their subsequent implementation in repaired underground structures. The key element of the approach is the geomechanical and geophysical investigations during geological survey in the period of the design works on underground structures’ reconstruction. In particular, geomechanical and geophysical investigations allow assessing the quality of interaction between the rock massif and existing supporting structures, as well as the condition of the existing lining which should be dismantled. Another part of the proposed approach is to take into account the modern idea of the equilibrium state of rock mass which is formed during the long-term operation process of underground structures.

  • Zetron Moves Moscow Metro Forward Acom Supports Light-Rail Communications Expansion
    Case Study Location: Moscow, Russia Product: Acom Zetron Moves Moscow Metro Forward Acom Supports Light-Rail Communications Expansion The Moscow Metro system has been moving passengers throughout Russia’s capital city since 1935. In recent years, the Moscow Metro network was extended outside of the city boundaries to the new urban development of Orekhovo-Borisovo- Severnoe in the south of Moscow. This light-rail line, known as the L19, runs from Ulitsa Starokachalovskaya to Bunninskaya Alleya. It is an extension of the longest line in the Metro network. Unlike the older parts of the Metro, this extension is entirely above ground. Moscow Metro often uses this extension to develop and test new technologies, such as those for lighting, seating, and communications. Once the technology has been refined and proven through this testing process, it is incorporated across the entire Moscow Metro system. The challenge When the time came for Moscow Metro to update the Supporting the system’s six sites communications system for the L19 Metro line, it chose RCI The communication system comprises six sites.

  • The Moscow Central Circle Is Waiting for an Unmanned Future 23.08.2021, Moscow
    The Moscow Central Circle is waiting for an unmanned future 23.08.2021, Moscow The MCC (Moscow Central Circle) – is one of the Moscow transport projects. It is integrated in Moscow metro network and in the railway system. In fact, it is considered to be the 14th surface metro line. At present, headway has already been reduced to 4 minutes, which is the limit for the existing infrastructure. Moscow authorities are working on the urban transport improvement, so that people can travel comfortably and quickly to their destination. One of the additional ways to reduce the interval between trains would be the unmanned traffic organization which will be launched on the MCC in the near future. As for now the system is being tested on a high-speed electric train – Lastochka. According to the Pavel Popov the Deputy General Director of the JSC NIIAS: «The integration of the unmanned trains on the MCC will create a great bandwidth effect. When a driver controls a train, the variability of its motion and the accuracy of maintaining the desired speed are much greater than of the automatic control system. Basically, if it is necessary to maintain a minimum interval of the following train, for the driver it will be hard to do. There have been studies that have shown that the variation between the automatic system and the driver differs from each other. The variation in a system is 3-4 times smaller, that means that it is more accurately follows the traffic schedule and thanks to this, it is possible to reduce the intervals».
