    PRESIDENT & GENERAL MANAGER 2021 Q1 REPORT June 2021 TRANSLINK BOARD MEETING The start of new year is an exciting time for any organization but especially for BCRTC and WCE with the implementation of our 2021 business plan and the continuation of our Vision 2030. Despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and IT ramifications as a result of the December cyberattack, we continue to deliver on our operations and maintenance commitments and support the dozens of capital and major projects currently underway. Our service delivery and on-time performance remain high, and the safety and security of staff and customers continues to be a priority as we rebuild ridership on the rail network. BCRTC is becoming better every day and the whole team is working hard to ready the business for future challenges that require high engagement from everyone. TransLink Strategic Priority: Rebuild customer ridership Expo and Millennium SkyTrain Service Service Delivery • In Q1, it is estimated that BCRTC delivered 99.5% of scheduled service which is just under BCRTC’s target of 99.7%.

  • Overhaul Resource Planning for Rolling Stock Using MIP Models
    Article Overhaul Resource Planning for Rolling Stock using MIP Models RinradaJiravanstita and WipaweeTharmmaphornphilasb,* Department of Industrial Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok 10330, Thailand E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] (Corresponding author) Abstract. In term of maintenance, parts must be maintained to satisfy operating conditions. Although, maintenance is costly and unprofitable, it is indispensable. Thus, reducing maintenance costs without reducing maintenance is one of the critical issues. Since maintenance costs mainly come from resources, they should be properly managed to minimize the cost. Hence, the goal of this paper is to find the optimal number of resources for required maintenance activities. Two mixed-integer programming models are developed. The first model is used for a long-term plan to find a proper number of resources while the second one generates a maintenance schedule for a shorter time frame to verify feasibility of the plan. Keywords: Rolling-stock, overhaul maintenance, scheduling, MIP.

Introduction One of the main public transportations is a rail system due to its ability to transport a large amount of entity, people and goods. For metropolitan zone, Mass Rapid Transport is widely implemented due to its speed, reliability and convenience. For instance, Bangkok has 4 major HRT (Heavy-Rail-Transit) with other 8 extended lines in the future [1-2] and Vancouver has 3 lines (Expo line, Millennium Line and Canada line).

  • Cyberattack Recovery • Translink's IT Systems and Related CMBC Applications Were Taken Offline Due to a Cyberattack on Decem
    PRESIDENT & GENERAL MANAGER’S REPORT MARCH 25, 2021 TRANSLINK BOARD MEETING Cyberattack Recovery TransLink’s IT systems and related CMBC applications were taken offline due to a cyberattack on December 1, 2020. Through December during the network disruption, all CMBC departments ran in ‘fallback mode’ with manual processes. For example: assigning Transit Operators to buses, parts order tracking and maintenance planning, capital projects approval, and activities to support Access Transit customers were all handled via phone, paper, and pen. As part of the ongoing recovery efforts, key CMBC systems have been brought back on-line and this work continues on a system priority basis. TransLink Strategic Priority: CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE AND PUBLIC SUPPORT CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE Reindeer Bus In December 2020, five additional Reindeer Buses were staged for the holidays, bringing the total to seven. One conventional bus for each depot and one Community Shuttle running out of Port Coquitlam Transit Centre spread cheer throughout the holiday season. Winter Service Changes Signage was installed across the system to notify customers about Winter Service Changes that went into effect on January 4, 2021. Bus service levels across the region were adjusted to provide more space and reliable trips on busier routes. Winter Weather Response and Readiness Transit Communications (TComm) continues to be in frequent communication with all Metro Vancouver municipalities to ensure transit routes and all priority corridors are maintained during snowy conditions. All municipalities, universities, and snow removal contractors shared their COVID-19 response and readiness plans with TComm. Information was gathered from internal and external stakeholders to create a snow removal map to identify areas where snow can be piled to mitigate stacking of buses.
