These Improvement Measures, However, Will Not Fundamentally Improve Future Traffic Congestion. Hence, the MMUTIS Proposes Two New Major Access Roads to Terminal 3
MMUTIS Final Report These improvement measures, however, will not fundamentally improve future traffic congestion. Hence, the MMUTIS proposes two new major access roads to Terminal 3. The first proposal will provide a new interchange from the Skyway to Sales Road. The interchange has to shift slightly from the exact location of the Nichols Interchange, but contained on Sales Road as an elevated structure. This facility will connect Terminal 3 directly with the Skyway, which serves SLE near Magallanes Interchange and Pasay Road or Buendia Avenue over the Magallanes Interchange. The second proposal is an underground tunnel from C-5 South Section to Andrews Avenue to go under the main runway. Although it needs very sensitive construction technologies, it is a technically possible alternative. This facility will directly connect Terminal 3 with C-5, which serves Roxas Boulevard southbound and C-5 northbound. Table 10.18 Airport Access Improvement Projects Project Cost Project Name Length (P million) Tramo Road-Andrews Avenue Left-turning Flyover --- 120 Nichols Interchange Improvements --- 135 Alternative 1) Skyway New Airport Interchange 1.3 km 1,893 Alternative 2) Andrews Ave. Extension (underground link) 1.3 km 6,146 1) 2,148 Total 2) 6,400 Due to the cost, the better alternative would be the Skyway Interchange, while the second proposal can be for future consideration. 10.4 Proposed Public Transport Projects 1) MRT Integration This project intends to improve the integration of Lines 1 and 3 and a possible Line 6 at the Baclaran-Pasay Rotonda area. The current plan, which terminates Line 3 at Taft/EDSA Station at-grade, would create serious traffic problem in the area and restrict the opportunity to serve the reclamation area. -
The Urban Rail Development Handbook
DEVELOPMENT THE “ The Urban Rail Development Handbook offers both planners and political decision makers a comprehensive view of one of the largest, if not the largest, investment a city can undertake: an urban rail system. The handbook properly recognizes that urban rail is only one part of a hierarchically integrated transport system, and it provides practical guidance on how urban rail projects can be implemented and operated RAIL URBAN THE URBAN RAIL in a multimodal way that maximizes benefits far beyond mobility. The handbook is a must-read for any person involved in the planning and decision making for an urban rail line.” —Arturo Ardila-Gómez, Global Lead, Urban Mobility and Lead Transport Economist, World Bank DEVELOPMENT “ The Urban Rail Development Handbook tackles the social and technical challenges of planning, designing, financing, procuring, constructing, and operating rail projects in urban areas. It is a great complement HANDBOOK to more technical publications on rail technology, infrastructure, and project delivery. This handbook provides practical advice for delivering urban megaprojects, taking account of their social, institutional, and economic context.” —Martha Lawrence, Lead, Railway Community of Practice and Senior Railway Specialist, World Bank HANDBOOK “ Among the many options a city can consider to improve access to opportunities and mobility, urban rail stands out by its potential impact, as well as its high cost. Getting it right is a complex and multifaceted challenge that this handbook addresses beautifully through an in-depth and practical sharing of hard lessons learned in planning, implementing, and operating such urban rail lines, while ensuring their transformational role for urban development.” —Gerald Ollivier, Lead, Transit-Oriented Development Community of Practice, World Bank “ Public transport, as the backbone of mobility in cities, supports more inclusive communities, economic development, higher standards of living and health, and active lifestyles of inhabitants, while improving air quality and liveability. -
Battling Congestion in Manila: the Edsa Problem
Transport and Communications Bulletin for Asia and the Pacific No. 82, 2013 BATTLING CONGESTION IN MANILA: THE EDSA PROBLEM Yves Boquet ABSTRACT The urban density of Manila, the capital of the Philippines, is one the highest of the world and the rate of motorization far exceeds the street capacity to handle traffic. The setting of the city between Manila Bay to the West and Laguna de Bay to the South limits the opportunities to spread traffic from the south on many axes of circulation. Built in the 1940’s, the circumferential highway EDSA, named after historian Epifanio de los Santos, seems permanently clogged by traffic, even if the newer C-5 beltway tries to provide some relief. Among the causes of EDSA perennial difficulties, one of the major factors is the concentration of major shopping malls and business districts alongside its course. A second major problem is the high number of bus terminals, particularly in the Cubao area, which provide interregional service from the capital area but add to the volume of traffic. While authorities have banned jeepneys and trisikel from using most of EDSA, this has meant that there is a concentration of these vehicles on side streets, blocking the smooth exit of cars. The current paper explores some of the policy options which may be considered to tackle congestion on EDSA . INTRODUCTION Manila1 is one of the Asian megacities suffering from the many ills of excessive street traffic. In the last three decades, these cities have experienced an extraordinary increase in the number of vehicles plying their streets, while at the same time they have sprawled into adjacent areas forming vast megalopolises, with their skyline pushed upwards with the construction of many high-rises. -
Pedestrian Simulation of Metro Rail Transit (Mrt) Line 7 Station 1-North Avenue Station, Quezon City, Philippines
International Journal of GEOMATE, Feb., 2020, Vol.18, Issue 66, pp.156-162 ISSN: 2186-2982 (P), 2186-2990 (O), Japan, DOI: https://doi.org/10.21660/2020.96320 Geotechnique, Construction Materials and Environment PEDESTRIAN SIMULATION OF METRO RAIL TRANSIT (MRT) LINE 7 STATION 1-NORTH AVENUE STATION, QUEZON CITY, PHILIPPINES Romnick P. De Los Reyes1, Marloe B. Sundo2 and *Marish S. Madlangbayan2 1Sustainable Transport & Infrastructure Development Consulting, Inc., Philippines; 2Department of Civil Engineering, University of the Philippines Los Baños, Philippines *Corresponding Author, Received: 26 Sept. 2019, Revised: 14 Dec. 2019, Accepted: 31 Dec. 2019 ABSTRACT: Simulation of pedestrian flow represents an advanced approach in modeling and evaluating train stations. In this study, pedestrian simulation was done using the simulation software Simio to assess the passenger capacity of MRT 7 Station 1-North Avenue Station through level of service (LOS), queuing system, and train facility utilization. This paper presents the actual situation inside the train station while predicting the behavior of queuing pedestrians and provides an accurate estimate of the volume-to-capacity ratio of passengers entering the station. The study’s approach debugged the conventional assignments of pedestrians currently used in the field. The constructed three-dimensional building of the North Avenue Station served as framework for the simulation. Sources, sinks, servers, and paths of the software were the main elements of the simulation. Each library was defined by their time usage based on data gathered. Time usages of 1.21 sec. and 240 sec. for sources and sinks, respectively, were used in the simulation. Servers were defined by the train facilities utilized in the simulation, namely, automatic ticketing machines (TVM) with time usage of 43 seconds, ticketing toll gates with 1.4 seconds, and manual ticketing windows (BOM) with 20 seconds. -
