  • Planning and Design Implications from Traffic Safety Evaluation for Tramway Systems
    Ulla Saari Planning and design implications from traffic safety evaluation for tramway systems Thesis submitted for examination for the degree of Master of Science in Technology. Espoo 18.2.2019 Supervisor: Asst. Prof. Milos N. Mladenovic, PhD Advisor: M. Sc. Davy Beilinson Aalto University, P.O. BOX 11000, 00076 AALTO www.aalto.fi Abstract of master's thesis Author Ulla Saari Title of thesis Planning and design implications from traffic safety evaluation for tramway systems Master programme Spatial Planning and Transportation Code ENG26 Engineering Thesis supervisor Milos Mladenovic Thesis advisor(s) Davy Beilinson Date 18.2.2019 Number of pages 99 Language English Abstract Modern tramways are a part of traffic system for urban and densifying city structure. First modern tramways are planned nowadays in Finland. Planning and design create a base for a safe traffic system. Traffic safety influences on our everyday life and is a requirement for a well-functioning and efficient transport system and city structure. This thesis concentrates on planning and design of tramway systems from traffic safety point of view. In this thesis, traffic safety for tramway systems is studied by using accident data from Helsinki, Gothenburg and Dublin. GIS-analysis, data analysis, conflict point maps and previous studies are used to identify design factors influencing tramway safety. Based on the accident data, specific points of infrastructure are considered in terms of safety. Planning and design solutions are considered for motor vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists. Safety in design is studied for intersections, crossing points and tram stop areas. Clarity of the traffic system is a key factor for safe environment.

Väliotsikot on muokattu työseminaarin teemojen perusteella. Em.

  • Transport Services Benchmark Report
    Transport services benchmarking Best practices from North Sea Baltic Commuting Corridors Maiju Lintusaari Nina Frösén Pekka Eloranta Jukka Lintusaari Transport services benchmarking 24.10.2017 1 (45) Abstract This study was carried out as part of North Sea Baltic Connector of Regions project in 2017. The objective of the study was to benchmark existing smart passenger transport concepts and service developments in urban nodes and along commuting growth corridors. The focus was to find the barriers of entry to markets, best practices and public sector action points. The main method of information collection was interviews of transport service providers. The ge- ographical area of interest was the commuting corridor stretching from Germany to Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Finland. Unfortunately, service providers were reached only in Finland. The key findings were the following: - Few actors in the transport service sector are at a viable business stage - Public sector assistance is needed in o Creating enabling legislation o Assistance in market entry, for example by financial support, marketing assistance and steering group mentoring o Providing adequate infrastructure, such as rail and road capacity and parking spots for shared vehicles - Subsidization is not viewed necessary for most services in the long run. This report describes this study, and key outcomes are recapitulated in conclusions of this re- port, as well as exhibited in a separate slide show. The report and slide show serve as back- ground material for an upcoming Innovation Labs Roadshow, in which results are shared and further developed with project partners in the commuting corridor. The project was contracted by the City of Hämeenlinna.
