Although people have explored travel options since the early days of history, it is only in the last 50 years or so that engineers and scientists have unveiled transportation options that are fully automated. From driverless autos to personal rapid transit designs to full-functioning extended people mover systems, we are learning to give up the driver’s seat and trust the power of smart technology. When we began Lea+Elliott in the 1970s, specializing in automated people movers was an anomaly. Some engineers could not understand why we would focus on such a niche market. At that time, the industry was mostly focused on transporting passengers quickly, safely, and efficiently between terminals in large airports. Today, as we work on nearly every people mover system in the world, we know that the early technology provided the impetus for systems that are literally changing how we think about travel. For example, consider Honolulu, HI. Today, the City and County of Honolulu, in cooperation with the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), is implementing a 20-mile-long automated metro rail system that will serve 21 passenger stations. It will be the first automated metro light rail system in the United States since JFK AirTrain and will truly change lives for people within its reach. In such a rapidly changing transit environment, Dr. Rongfang (Rachel) Liu is the logical person to create this book on the state of automated transit— and to show where it will lead us in the days to come. As a professional engineer, licensed planner, and professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at New Jersey Institute of Technology, Dr. Liu brings so much more to the transit discussion. Her vast research has been xi xii FOREWORD published in many books, book chapters, and transportation journals. Her additional skills in modeling and expertise in intermodal research further round out her understanding of this complex and multi-faceted transportation technology. I trust that her knowledge and perspective, provided in these pages, will offer insights to help you better understand the sophisticated systems that make automated transit so fascinating. Her thoughts may well spur your thoughts which just might take automated transit technology to the next level. Enjoy! Jack Norton President/CEO Lea+Elliott, Inc. Dallas/Fort Worth, TX PREFACE The idea for this book was conceived a few years ago when I wrote a book chapter titled “The Spectrum of Automated Guideway Transit and Its Appli- cations,” which is published in the Handbook of Transportation Engineering (Kutz, 2011). I have accumulated a large amount of information and felt that there are so much more can be said but has not been included in the chapter due to the length limit. In fact, so much was misunderstood or misconstrued for automated guideway transit (AGT) all together for the past half of a century. As the Committee Chair for AP040: Automated Transit Systems (ATS), Transportation Research Board (TRB), I have been working with my commit- tee members and an array of stakeholders, which include transit and Airport Automated People Mover (AAPM) operators, local and federal government agencies, and private entities such as Google, CarShare Inc., and Ride Scott. Continuing dialogs among the automated transit community made the critical needs paramount.

Hall was one of the first members of the Washington Metro Transit Police Department and his direct involvement with Metro helps to provide a very detailed account of the creation, growth, and changes that the Washington Metro and its police department have experienced over the years, and the effect that it has had on its surrounding community. Biography of Daniel Hall Daniel Deidrich Hall was bom in Cleveland, Ohio in 1948 and was raised in a middle class communis onthe East Side of Cleveland with his two sisters, his cousin, and his parents. He has hved in Cleveland, Ohio; Reading, Pennsylvania; Centreville, Virginia; and Silver Spring, Maryland. Daniel Hall graduated from Glenville High School and studied at the Universi^ of Cleveland, the F.B.I. Academy and the Southern Police Institute. After High school, Daniel Hall became the first Afiican American technician to work for the N.C.R. (The National Cash Register Company), and he later was drafted into the marines. Preferring not to serve in the Marines, he enhstedhimself for a four-year term in the U.S. Army. He served in the U.S. Army from August 1968 to April 1974.

    Reply to comments on “The Challenge to NOX Emission Control for Heavy-duty Diesel Vehicles in China” by S. Zhang et al “Black” means the comments from reviewer and “Blue” text are our responses. We are deeply grateful to the referees of this paper for the very helpful comments. These comments are fully understood by the authors and individually responded to. Our responses to the comments are listed below. Reply to comments from Anonymous Referee #1: Overall Comments: My overall comments are favorable. I thought the paper presented interesting results of the use of a vehicle emission model to infer the dominant sources of vehicle pollution in Macao, as well as the potential use of traffic information linked to an emission model and air dispersion model to inform environmental and transportation policy. My major comment on the content of the paper, is that the authors need to provide more information into how the emissions and air quality concentrations were estimated are estimated. For example, the paper is unclear on how the vehicle split by link is estimated, how the speeds are estimated and applied in the vehicle emission model, and how the ‘fleet average’ emission rates in Table 4 are estimated. Also the comment Printer-friendly version Discussion paper discussion on the air dispersion modeling is very limited. We appreciate the referee’s favorable comments. According to specific comment on the method and data details, we try out best to inform the readers of the estimation of fleet split and speed profiles (e.g., Equations 3, 5 and 6, see Page 7), the development of local emission factors (e.g., Page 9 to Page 10).

  • Lille Metro Reference-Sheet.Pdf
    Reference Sheet Transportation Lille Metro consigns pickpockets to history with UTCFS Lille Located in northern France, Lille is the principal city of the Lille Métropole, the fourth-largest metropolitan area in the country after Paris, Lyon and Marseille. Situated on the Deûle River, near the Belgian border, Lille is the capital of the Nord-Pas de Calais region and the préfecture of the Nord department. Transpole Lille Métropole has a mixed mode public transport system, comprising buses, trams and a driverless metro system, all operated under the Transpole name. The Lille metro is a VAL (light automated vehicle) system, opened on May 16, 1983 as the world’s first automatic metro. The metro system has two lines, with a total length of 45 km, serving 60 stations. The tram system consists of two interurban tram lines, connecting central Lille to the nearby communities of Roubaix and Tourcoing. 68 urban bus routes cover the metropolis, eight of which cross the border into Belgium. Pre-existing situation & UTCFS's role UTCFS's solution Across the entire Lille metro network there are UTCFS offered Transpole a complete video over 1,200 security cameras installed. surveillance solution. Data from the existing Transpole sought to modernise its 1,200 cameras that monitor stations and lines surveillance system to increase passenger is directly transmitted through 80 VisioWave security. It decided to upgrade the system to Evolution encoder/decoder devices. Analogue enable a complete digital grid overview of all data from cameras is converted into digital 60 stations.
