  • OKANAGAN VALLEY ELECTRIC RAIL by Elham Boozar
    SUSTAINABLE ROAD SAFETY IMPROVEMENT THROUGH THE PROMOTION OF AN ALTERNATIVE MODE: OKANAGAN VALLEY ELECTRIC RAIL by Elham Boozarjomehri B.Sc. in Aerospace Engineering, Sharif University of Technology, 2007 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF APPLIED SCIENCE in The College of Graduate Studies (Civil Engineering) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Okanagan) March 2009 © Elham Boozarjomehri, 2009 ABSTRACT Across North America there is an increasing demand for safer, faster, less energy intensive and less costly modes of transportation. There are enormous social and economic costs associated with road collisions, which have been recognized world-wide as a serious problem. One local alternative to reduce auto use and resultant road collisions is the placement of a railway line through the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia, Canada, connecting Osoyoos and US railways in the south with Vernon and cross-Canada railways in the north. This line would not only be able to service Okanagan Valley commuters and tourists, currently served by Highway 97, but also provide an additional freight link between the United States and Canada. The objectives of this research were threefold: (1) To develop a set of macro-level collision prediction models for Highway 97, for use in calculating the Safety benefits of the proposed railway, (2) To conduct a comprehensive literature review of the design issues and costs of railway freight and passenger systems, and, (3) To conduct a social cost-benefit analysis of electric railways in Canada for a case study of the Okanagan Valley. To this end, a conceptual design, including route alignment, traffic forecast as well as a social benefit/cost analysis, was conducted.
