  • Dubai [Metro]Polis: Infrastructural Landscapes and Urban Utopia
    Dubai [Metro]polis: Infrastructural Landscapes and Urban Utopia When Dubai Metro was launched in 2009, it became a new catalyst for urban change but also a modern tool to interact with the city - providing a visual experience and an unprecedented perception of moving in space and time, almost at the edge between the imaginary and the real. By drawing on the traditional association between train, perception and the city we argue that the design and planning of Dubai Metro is intended as a signifier of modernity for the Gulf region, with its futuristic designs and in the context of the local socio-cultural associations. NADIA MOUNAJJED INTRODUCTION Abu Dhabi University For the last four decades, Dubai epitomized a model for post-oil Gulf cities and positioned itself as a subject for visionary thinking and urban experimentation. PAOLO CARATELLI During the years preceding 2008, Dubai became almost a site of utopia - evoking Abu Dhabi University a long tradition of prolific visionary thinking about the city – particularly 1970s utopian projects. Today skyscrapers, gated communities, man-made islands, iconic buildings and long extended waterfronts, dominate the cityscape. Until now, most of the projects are built organically within a fragmented urban order, often coexisting in isolation within a surrounding incoherence. When inaugu- rated in 2009, Dubai Metro marked the beginning of a new association between urbanity, mobility and modernity. It marked the start of a new era for urban mass transit in the Arabian Peninsula and is now perceived as an icon of the emirate’s modern urbanity (Ramos, 2010, Decker, 2009, Billing, n.

  • Automated Rapid Transit Trains
    Press Release 16 September 2014 A contract worth approximately €280 Million Alstom to deliver Australia’s first fully-automated rapid transit trains Alstom will deliver Sydney’s new generation of rapid transit trains as part of the North West Rail Link, Australia’s first fully-automated rail network and Australia’s largest public transport project. Under the operations contract for the North West Rail Link, awarded today to the Northwest Rapid Transit consortium, Alstom will be responsible for the project management, design, supply, manufacturing, testing and commissioning of the rolling stock and signalling systems. Alstom will supply 22 six-car fully-automated Metropolis train sets and the Communications Based Train Control (CBTC) signalling system.

    ISSUE: 18 September 1992 ISSN 0964-8763 A Quarterly Journal on the Railways of the Middle East Edited and Published by Rabbi Walter Rothschild, 9 Primley Gardens, Leeds LS 17 7HT. England 18:1 "Kilometre 0" - the datum post for all line measurements at Haifa Esat station in July 1992, as Esslingen 0-6-OD No. 221 (in new livery) hauls containers from the port past the doomed semaphores. 18: 2 EDITORIAL Welcome to Issue 18. It has caused me problems, but for good reasons — that is to say, there is such a lot happening at the moment on the railways of the Middle East, and especially in Israel, that I could have filled the magazine wholly with current events. However, the aim is to make each issue as balanced as possible with the material available - so despite the lengthy reports on the modernisation and expansion of Israel Railways and the welcome reactivation of the Carmelit, there are historical items and expansion of earlier topics. This issue is due out in September 1992 - exactly one hundred years since the opening of the first railway in what is now Israel, that from Jaffa to Jerusalem. Alas, it is not yet clear what celebrations are being organised, apart from the issue of commemorative postage stamps, but I hope to bring out a special issue soon to mark the occasion. For now — let us take heart that the system in Israel is looking healthier than for many a long year, let us note with sadness that the Hedjaz system appears to be on its last legs (or wheels), and let us hope that the next hundred years are as interesting <though hopefully less violent) than the last hundred years have been.

  • Hizli Rayli Sistemlerin Yolcu Taşima Kapasite Hesaplamalari Ve Türkiyedeki Benzer Sistemlerin Birbirleriyle Karşilaştirilmasi
    HIZLI RAYLI SİSTEMLERİN YOLCU TAŞIMA KAPASİTE HESAPLAMALARI VE TÜRKİYEDEKİ BENZER SİSTEMLERİN BİRBİRLERİYLE KARŞILAŞTIRILMASI Ilgaz CANDEMİR_ , Serhan TANYEL_ SUMMARY Rail transit systems are found to be the most trusted transit systems all over the world. They have become one of the main parts of daily urban life as they provide, fast, safe and comfortable journey for passengers. If they are planned precisely, capacities up to10000-40000 passengers/hour can be achieved. They are also used as an important tool for to maintain well developed cities and provide dynamic city centers. In this study, some of the most important rail transit systems in Turkey are introduced. Their capacities tried to be determined by using different capacity calculation methods and the results are tired to be compared. ÖZET Dünyada halen en güvenilir ulaşõm modu, raylõ sistemlerdir. Gelişen teknolojinin yansõmasõ ile birlikte hõz, sinyalizasyon ve konfor problemlerini çözen kentsel raylõ sistemler büyük şehirler için vazgeçilmez olmuşlardõr. Planlama ,dizayn,araç ve ekipman seçimi, inşaat ve sonrasõnda çok titiz bir işletim isteyen metro hatlarõ ortalama 10000-40000 yolcu/saat kapasiteleri olan güçlü toplu taşõmacõlõk sistemlerdir. Raylõ sistemler ayrõca kentin homojen olarak gelişmesinin sağlanmasõnda önemli bir araç olarak görülmekte ve dinamik kent merkezlerinin oluşturulmasõnda etken olmaktadõrlar. Bu bildiride Türkiye’deki raylõ sistemleri hakkõnda kõsaca bilgi verildikten sonra, Türkiye’deki bazõ önemli raylõ ulaşõm sistemlerinin kapasiteleri farklõ yöntemlerle hesaplanarak, birbirleriyle karşõlaştõrõlmaya çalõşõlmõştõr. 1.GİRİŞ Dünyada 179 farklõ şehrin benimsendiği Metro ,hafif raylõ ve tramvay gibi kentiçi raylõ ulaşõm sistemleri, son yõllarda geç kalõnmasõna rağmen belediyelerimizin de rağbet ettiği ve ulaşõm politikalarõnõn baş hedefi haline gelen pahalõ inşaat yatõrõmlarõdõr.
