  • Bantrafik 2016 Rail Traffic 2016 Statistik 2017:21
    Bantrafik 2016 Statistik Rail traffic 2016 2017:21 Bantrafik 2016 Statistik Rail traffic 2016 2017:21 Trafikanalys Adress: Torsgatan 30 113 21 Stockholm Telefon: 010 414 42 00 Fax: 010 414 42 10 E-post: [email protected] Webbadress: www.trafa.se Ansvarig utgivare: Brita Saxton Producent: Trafikverket Publiceringsdatum: 2017-10-13 Förord Sveriges bantrafik – vår järnväg, spårväg och tunnelbana – används allt mer för person- transporter, samtidigt som godstransporterna på järnväg har minskat under senare år. Under 2016 slogs nya rekord i resandet på järnväg såväl som spårväg och i tunnelbanan. Den officiella statistiken om bantrafik är till för att ge objektiv och allmänt tillgänglig information om utvecklingen inom hela sektorn, såväl till branschens egna aktörer som till utredare, forskare och allmänheten. Statistiken utgör en grund för faktabaserade diskussioner och beslut. En förändring från förra året är att statistiken om bantrafikens energianvändning har övertagits av Statens energimyndighet som hädanefter kommer att publicera den delen. Statistik från tidigare år finns fortfarande i rapporten Bantrafik, däremot sker ingen uppdatering med nya siffror. Trafikanalys är statistikansvarig myndighet och Trafikverket biträder Trafikanalys med att samla in, kvalitetsgranska och sammanställa uppgifter från bland annat tågoperatörer och infrastrukturförvaltare. Projektledare för Bantrafik 2016 har varit Fredrik Lindberg och Jan Östlund har hjälpt till i arbetet. På Trafikverket har Anders Broberg haft huvudansvaret för statistikproduktionen.

  • Gaps and Challenges in Providing Adequate Housing for Refugees in Malmö
    Beyond a Roof and Walls: Gaps and Challenges in Providing Adequate Housing for Refugees in Malmö Asha Sri Nissanka Masters in Urban Studies (Two-Year) Thesis (30 Credits) Spring Semester 2020 Supervisor: Defne Kadioglu Beyond a Roof and Walls: Gaps and Challenges in Providing Adequate Housing for Refugees in Malmö Asha Sri Nissanka Abstract This study attempts to analyse urban housing issues and their effects on providing adequate housing for refugees, using Malmö as a case study. The content analysis adopted here uses a combination of semi-structured interviews with relevant government officers, and reports published by government agencies and international institutions as sources of information. The dominant role of the market in Sweden’s housing sector has created housing inequalities and many issues for groups with lower socio-economic status. These issues consist of shortages in affordable dwellings, cramped housing conditions and spatial segregation within the city etc. This study illustrates that refugees in Malmö face additional issues such as lack of knowledge on the housing market, reluctance of landlords to accept refugees’ establishment allowance as an income source, discriminatory attitudes, and lack of larger apartments for their comparatively larger households. They function as barriers to refugees’ right to adequate housing as well as their right to the city, while limiting their opportunities to establish in the host country. The municipality also faces these issues when arranging housing for its ‘assigned’ refugees. Additionally, they are faced with an extended demand on the social services that are meant to support the native homeless groups. Refugees’ housing issues are associated with some gaps involved in the process of accommodating refugees.

  • Upphandling Av Trafikuppdrag I Malmö Stad Klart, Nobina Sverige AB Utför Hela Stadsbusstrafiken I Malmö
    2013-04-08 16:16 CEST Upphandling av trafikuppdrag i Malmö Stad klart, Nobina Sverige AB utför hela stadsbusstrafiken i Malmö Nobina Sverige AB kommer från juni 2014 utföra hela stadsbusstrafiken i Malmö stad. Resultatet av upphandlingen blev klar tidigare idag den 8 april. I upphandlingen har två av Malmös trafikområden slagits samman till ett större trafikområde. Det nya trafikområdet omfattar totalt 108 bussar, vilka under avtalstiden kommer att bytas ut mot nya. Det första bytet kommer under år 2017 då 88 bussar byts ut. Sex anbudsgivare visade intresse och fyra lämnade anbud. Den nu avslutade upphandlingen är en följd av den avbrutna upphandlingen 2011, då det endast kom in ett anbud och följden blev att nuvarande trafikföretag Veolia Transport Sverige AB fortsatte sitt uppdrag ytterligare två år. Avtalet följer en ny modell där trafikföretagets ansvar utökas betydligt, vilket gör att trafikföretaget ansvarar både för tidtabellsarbete och lokal marknadsföring utöver personal och bussar. Ersättningen till Nobina Sverige AB bygger på ett så kallat resandeincitament på ca 30 % av den totala ersättningen. Avtalet gör att Nobina Sverige AB får en aktiv roll i att utveckla trafiken för att få del av en resandeutveckling över tid. - Nobina Sverige ABs lämnade ett mycket bra anbud gällande kvaliteten och har också det lägsta anbudspriset. Att Nobina Sverige AB nu får ansvar för hela Malmös stadsbusstrafik borgar för en kvalitetshöjning, säger Jan-Åke Bergmark, affärsområdeschef buss södra. Den nya avtalsmodellen ställer också högre krav på trafikföretaget i form av delaktighet och engagemang vilket kunderna kommer att märka av. - Vi är mycket glada över att ha fått förtroendet att ta ett helhetsgrepp om stadstrafiken i Malmö.

Spårväg kan förekomma i många olika skepnader, alltifrån de klassiska gatuspårvägen där spårvagnar kör i samma körfält som bil- trafiken, till snabbspårväg på egen inhägnad banvall, med högre hastigheter och kanske med någon form av signalsäkerhetssystem. Syftet med projektet är att formulera rekommendationer för utform- ning och funktion avseende nya spårvägsanläggningar eller ombyggnad av befintliga anläggningar. Avsikten är att detta ska skapa tydligare och enhetligare förutsättningar för att planering och byggnation ska bli bra redan från början och att kostsamma ändringar i efterhand kan undvikas. Resultaten som presenteras i denna rapport bygger på såväl internationella som nationella erfarenheter av spårvägssystem. Olika städer har olika förutsättningar, exempelvis trafik-, befolknings- och markförhållanden, som gör att spårvägssystem måste planeras och byggas på olika sätt. Tekniska lösningar, som spårkonstruktioner, kurvradier, signalsystem, etc. kommer därför att variera mellan olika spårvägssystem. Utformningen måste emellertid generellt garantera hög säkerhet och effektivitet för passagerare, personal samt personer och fordon som befinner sig nära eller korsar spårområdet.

  • Committing to a Tramway Through Policy Development
    Committing to a tramway through policy development Alexander Linné Urban Studies Two-year master 30 credits Spring 2020 Supervisor: Peter Parker Committing to a tramway through policy development Summary This thesis researches a decision-making process culminating in the building of a tramway in Lund, Sweden drawing on theories of institutionalism and isomorphism (DiMaggio & Powell, 1991; Chien 2008; Czarniawska, 2015), and policy development (Flyvbjerg, Skamris holm, & Buhl, 2003). Discourse analysis and a case study is used as methodology to interpret and analyze collected empirical data. The overall objective of this thesis is to find out what role policies play in decisions of urban infrastructure investments. A case study will help to find out if the decision to build a tramway in Lund was influenced by the global phenomenon of cities growing more alike. More specifically, the thesis researches the driving factors behind the decision to build a tramway in Lund and how policies influenced the decision. By doing this, the thesis uncovers and break down what influenced the decision to build a tramway to reveal potential risks or benefits for decision-makers in Lund municipality. The empirical data mostly consists of documents found on the official website (sparvaglund.se) for finding information about the tramway in Lund. The analysis of the empirical data over the tramway project uncover a certain level of local development isomorphism in the decision-making process. The municipality singled out a tramway to be the only feasible public transport mode, that could solve the city’s anticipated capacity problem. The decision formed a sort of singular truth because it is, empirically, the only appropriately investigated alternative.
