  • Dynamic Headway and Its Role in Future Railways Making the Transition from Scheduled to Demand-Response Services
    FEATURED ARTICLES Creating Smart Rail Services Using Digital Technologies Dynamic Headway and Its Role in Future Railways Making the Transition from Scheduled to Demand-Response Services Dynamic Headway is the world’s first solution that off ers new rail transport value in the form of flexible rail services based on passenger demand. It analyzes demand condi- tions with data acquired from sensors installed in stations and trains, and automatically optimizes the number of train services in response to the analyzed demand. It provides value to passengers in the form of congestion alleviation and transport comfort, and to rail service operators in the form of improved service eff iciency. Hitachi is currently working on a proof of concept for the solution with Italian railway systems integrator, Ansaldo STS, and Denmark’s Copenhagen Metro. As part of these activities, Hitachi has assessed the customer value that Dynamic Headway will bring by using simulations to evaluate its quantitative and qualitative benefits. Hitachi will continue to develop and release solutions driven by digital technologies as it aims to help achieve a more comfortable society to live in through rail transport.

  • The Copenhagen Metro
    Description of the Copenhagen Metro Worlds Best Metro 2008 Worlds Best driverless Metro 2009 The Copenhagen Metro The Copenhagen Metro first opened in 2002 and now, seven years later, the system is com- pleted: 13.05 miles of high technology transportation connecting vitals parts of Copenhagen and providing faster, safer and more convenient travel choices than ever before. The two lines with 22 stations take the passengers from Copenhagen Airport, across the city centre and in onto the densely populated suburbs, crossing areas of new urban development. Passenger volume In 2008 the Copenhagen Metro had a staggering growth of 17 % in passenger volume, which brought the total passenger number to 46 million, which is a high number compared to the number of inhabitants in greater Copenhagen area, which in 2008 was approximately 1.8 million. Service availability in 2008 New records where set in 2008. Service availability overall for the year was 98.6 %, and in January 2008 a monthly record of 99.4 % was achieved. Number of daily departures is 12,000 with a head way in rush hour of 125 seconds. De- creased headway of 10 seconds in rush hour compared to 2007. Headway outside rush hour is 6 minutes and at night time from Thursday to Saturday head way is 15 minutes. Customer Satisfaction improved in all areas in 2008 Not only did the number of Metro passengers increase a lot in 2008, they were also more satisfied with our service. Last year the overall customer satisfaction rose from 95% (in 2007) to 97%. The service availability record could also be measured in the customer satisfaction, where no less than 95% were satisfied with the time table reliability compared to 90% in 2007.

    1 Hazards threatening underground transport systems 2 Edwar Forero-Ortiz a,b*, Eduardo Martínez-Gomariza,b 3 aCETaqua Water Technology Centre, Barcelona, Spain. ORCID 0000-0002-5238-278X 4 bFlumen Research Institute, Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, Technical University of 5 Catalonia, Spain. ORCID 0000-0002-0189-0725 6 *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] 7 Abstract. Metro systems perform a significant function for millions of ridership 8 worldwide as urban passengers rely on a secure, reliable, and accessible 9 underground transportation way for their regular conveyance. However, hazards 10 can restrict normal metro service and plans to develop or improve metro systems 11 set aside some way to cope with these hazards. This paper presents a summary of 12 the potential hazards to underground transportation systems worldwide, identifying 13 a knowledge gap on the understanding of water-related impacts on Metro networks. 14 This is due to the frequency and scope of geotechnical and air quality hazards, 15 which exceed in extreme magnitude the extreme precipitation events that can 16 influence underground transportation systems. Thus, we emphasize the importance 17 of studying the water-related hazards in Metro systems to fill the gaps in this topic. 18 Keywords: urban climate adaptation; hazards assessment; critical infrastructure 19 networks; metro system; subway. 20 1. Introduction 21 The globalization process has grown these last sixty years, considering as Africa and Asia 22 are urbanizing quicker than the rest of the continents in the coming decades. (UN 2018). As shown 23 in Figure 1, projections indicate a growth of the world's urban population by more than two thirds 24 by 2050, with almost 90 per cent of that increase in urban areas of Asia and Africa.

    Nesseby Rådhus, 9840 Varangerbotn Mob: 90110562 E-post: [email protected] Hasvik Rådhus 9593 Breivikbotn Mob: 90852916 E-post: [email protected] Til: Samferdselsminister Knut Arild Hareide UTTALELSE: Hurtigruta og reduksjon i seilingsfrekvens. Øst-Finnmarkrådet og Vest-Finnmark Rådet er to politiske samarbeidsorganer, som til sammen organiserer alle de 16 kystkommunene i Finnmark. Finnmark er en region med lange avstander, der man er avhengig av sjøtransporten som en viktig del av logistikk- og beredskapskjeden. Her utgjør normalt Hurtigruten en av de viktigste bærebjelkene. Hurtigruten har vært lojal mot kysten siden oppstarten i 1893, og har overlevd både krig og opp/ned konjunkturer. Men nå i 2020 er vel Hurtigruten inne i en av sine vanskeligste perioder. Det skyldes i all hovedsak Covid 19 pandemien som rammer hele samfunnets. Men vi registrerer også at Hurtigruten de siste årene har endret fokus fra kystens lokale behov til mer å fremstå som et cruise og ekspedisjons rederi. I dagens hurtigruteavtale står det: «Formålet med statens kjøp av transporttjenester langs norskekysten er å sikre et godt rutetilbud for passasjerer som reiser lokalt, regionalt og mellom angitte anløpssteder. Dette er reisende som kun kjøper billett for å reise på selvvalgt strekning og ikke rundreiser, såkalte distansereisende. I tillegg skal det tilbys godskapasitet nord for Tromsø. I dag har Samferdselsdepartementet en avtale med Hurtigruten AS om helårlige, daglige og gjennomgående seilinger med anløp i 34 havner på nord- og 33 på sørgående rute mellom Bergen og Kirkenes. Det statlige kapasitetskravet er fastsatt til 320 passasjerplasser, 120 køyplasser i lugar, og minimum 150 europaller for frakt av gods pr.

INSIDE Meet Your Polar Heroes SOLO TRAVELER FRIENDLY 2 Discovery and learning for all Dear Explorer, Imagine an expedition through a pristine environment you Oosten van © Marsel can only reach by ship, a life-changing voyage to a continent blanketed in ice and snow. No matter where you gaze you see wildlife in an untamed world of massive icebergs, endless snowfields, and deep blue sea. Now, open your eyes and stop imagining - because what, for many, has only ever been a dream, is now a reality. Starting in the fall of 2016, Hurtigruten will offer all new Discovery Style Voyages to Antarctica, making us the largest and most diverse provider of active voyages to and throughout the polar region. While our renowned MS Fram has sailed these remote waters for many years, now MS Midnatsol will be joining her with new itineraries via the Chilean fjords and Cape Horn. Our new Discovery Style Voyages are designed especially to bring polar exploration to all ages and learning levels. Most importantly, you will explore ashore and in small craft through iceberg-rich waters and feel like a real polar explorer. Back on board, you’ll have fun opportunities to learn and share discoveries with family and fellow explorers in casual comfort.
