Dynamic Headway and Its Role in Future Railways Making the Transition from Scheduled to Demand-Response Services
FEATURED ARTICLES Creating Smart Rail Services Using Digital Technologies Dynamic Headway and Its Role in Future Railways Making the Transition from Scheduled to Demand-Response Services Dynamic Headway is the world’s first solution that off ers new rail transport value in the form of flexible rail services based on passenger demand. It analyzes demand condi- tions with data acquired from sensors installed in stations and trains, and automatically optimizes the number of train services in response to the analyzed demand. It provides value to passengers in the form of congestion alleviation and transport comfort, and to rail service operators in the form of improved service eff iciency. Hitachi is currently working on a proof of concept for the solution with Italian railway systems integrator, Ansaldo STS, and Denmark’s Copenhagen Metro. As part of these activities, Hitachi has assessed the customer value that Dynamic Headway will bring by using simulations to evaluate its quantitative and qualitative benefits. Hitachi will continue to develop and release solutions driven by digital technologies as it aims to help achieve a more comfortable society to live in through rail transport.

The Copenhagen Metro
Description of the Copenhagen Metro Worlds Best Metro 2008 Worlds Best driverless Metro 2009 The Copenhagen Metro The Copenhagen Metro first opened in 2002 and now, seven years later, the system is com- pleted: 13.05 miles of high technology transportation connecting vitals parts of Copenhagen and providing faster, safer and more convenient travel choices than ever before. The two lines with 22 stations take the passengers from Copenhagen Airport, across the city centre and in onto the densely populated suburbs, crossing areas of new urban development. Passenger volume In 2008 the Copenhagen Metro had a staggering growth of 17 % in passenger volume, which brought the total passenger number to 46 million, which is a high number compared to the number of inhabitants in greater Copenhagen area, which in 2008 was approximately 1.8 million. Service availability in 2008 New records where set in 2008. Service availability overall for the year was 98.6 %, and in January 2008 a monthly record of 99.4 % was achieved. Number of daily departures is 12,000 with a head way in rush hour of 125 seconds. De- creased headway of 10 seconds in rush hour compared to 2007. Headway outside rush hour is 6 minutes and at night time from Thursday to Saturday head way is 15 minutes. Customer Satisfaction improved in all areas in 2008 Not only did the number of Metro passengers increase a lot in 2008, they were also more satisfied with our service. Last year the overall customer satisfaction rose from 95% (in 2007) to 97%. The service availability record could also be measured in the customer satisfaction, where no less than 95% were satisfied with the time table reliability compared to 90% in 2007.

Hazards Threatening Underground Transport Systems 1 Edwar Forero

ORCID 0000-0002-5238-278X 4 bFlumen Research Institute, Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, Technical University of 5 Catalonia, Spain. ORCID 0000-0002-0189-0725 6 *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] 7 Abstract. Metro systems perform a significant function for millions of ridership 8 worldwide as urban passengers rely on a secure, reliable, and accessible 9 underground transportation way for their regular conveyance. However, hazards 10 can restrict normal metro service and plans to develop or improve metro systems 11 set aside some way to cope with these hazards. This paper presents a summary of 12 the potential hazards to underground transportation systems worldwide, identifying 13 a knowledge gap on the understanding of water-related impacts on Metro networks. 14 This is due to the frequency and scope of geotechnical and air quality hazards, 15 which exceed in extreme magnitude the extreme precipitation events that can 16 influence underground transportation systems. Thus, we emphasize the importance 17 of studying the water-related hazards in Metro systems to fill the gaps in this topic. 18 Keywords: urban climate adaptation; hazards assessment; critical infrastructure 19 networks; metro system; subway. 20 1. Introduction 21 The globalization process has grown these last sixty years, considering as Africa and Asia 22 are urbanizing quicker than the rest of the continents in the coming decades. (UN 2018). As shown 23 in Figure 1, projections indicate a growth of the world's urban population by more than two thirds 24 by 2050, with almost 90 per cent of that increase in urban areas of Asia and Africa.

Borders, Visions and Regions the Cross-Border Governance Capacity of the Øresund Region How to Improve the Influence of Cross-Border Regions
Borders, visions and regions The cross-border governance capacity of the Øresund Region How to improve the influence of cross-border regions Jens Bjørn Gefke Grelck Department of Human Geography Supervisor: Teis Hansen Course code SGEMO8 Examiner: Markus Grillitsch Semester/year: HT/2020 Abstract In recent years, cross-border regions have been challenged by multiple levels governance creating barriers rather than solutions to support cross-border spaces. This study aims at inquiring how the role of cross-border regions is changing in relation to their governance capacity. Governance capacity relates to actions, practices and visions of such regions. Through investigating a case study in the Øresund Region, the study analyses how the reorganisation of a cross-border institution leads to a new type of governance capacity. The empirical insights of the thesis were collected through stakeholder interviews and desktop research. In this case study, I challenge traditional state-centred views of space, and instead suggest that there is a need to change the national political discourse in order to benefit from cross-border regions. Key words: Cross-border regions, governance capacity, Øresund, Greater Copenhagen, rescaling, institutional reorganization Word count: 18.519 ii Acknowledgements I wish to acknowledge gratefully the help of all contributors of this thesis. This includes my supervisor Teis Hansen, thank you for your guidance, for giving me new insights and for your support when I was having trouble making decisions. These COVID-times have been difficult. I would also like to thank Thea Wiborg and Johan Wessman at Øresundsinstituttet, who helped me find contacts and fresh perspectives to cross-border issues in Øresund I didn’t have the slightest clue existed.
