    Dual Rated Speeds Escalator in Rapid Transit System with Extended Ramping Up and Down KC Gan, LF Cai, SC Cheah, Hadi Wijaya, Melvyn Thong Land Transport Authority, Singapore Keywords: Dual rated speeds, automatic switching, rapid transit system, acceleration, ramping up, ramping down, vibration, jerkiness. Abstract. To cater for different needs of escalator operating speeds in rapid transit systems (i.e. higher rated speed of 0.75m/s during peak hours is for effective discharging of passengers while slower rated speed of 0.50m/s during off-peak hours is for elderly passengers), we have introduced the dual rated speed escalator. Conventionally, the switching between 2 rated speeds can be done either manually through a key switch or automatically when no passengers are detected on the escalators at pre-set timing. However, there is a possibility of not being able to change speed if there are constant passengers coming into the rapid transit station, taking the escalators. Therefore, this shortcoming will be overcome by setting up a schedule timetable to do the safe switching of escalator rated speeds with passengers riding on the escalators with extended ramping up and down without comprising any safety requirements. This paper presents the case studies conducted on an existing station where a performance–based approach was adopted. The timing for the speed ramping up/down between the 2 rated speeds has been increased to 30 seconds in order to reduce the acceleration which results in minimizing the acceleration (vibration) and the rate of change of this acceleration (jerk). The objective is to ensure that the passenger’s perception are imperceptible and do not experience any abnormal and sudden change of vibration and jerk during the switching of dual rated speeds with extended ramping up and down.

  • Comparison Between Bus Rapid Transit and Light-Rail Transit Systems: a Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis Approach
    Urban Transport XXIII 143 COMPARISON BETWEEN BUS RAPID TRANSIT AND LIGHT-RAIL TRANSIT SYSTEMS: A MULTI-CRITERIA DECISION ANALYSIS APPROACH MARÍA EUGENIA LÓPEZ LAMBAS1, NADIA GIUFFRIDA2, MATTEO IGNACCOLO2 & GIUSEPPE INTURRI2 1TRANSyT, Transport Research Centre, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Spain 2Department of Civil Engineering and Architecture (DICAR), University of Catania, Italy ABSTRACT The construction choice between two different transport systems in urban areas, as in the case of Light-Rail Transit (LRT) and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) solutions, is often performed on the basis of cost-benefit analysis and geometrical constraints due to the available space for the infrastructure. Classical economic analysis techniques are often unable to take into account some of the non-monetary parameters which have a huge impact on the final result of the choice, since they often include social acceptance and sustainability aspects. The application of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) techniques can aid decision makers in the selection process, with the possibility to compare non-homogeneous criteria, both qualitative and quantitative, and allowing the generation of an objective ranking of the different alternatives. The coupling of MCDA and Geographic Information System (GIS) environments also permits an easier and faster analysis of spatial parameters, and a clearer representation of indicator comparisons. Based on these assumptions, a LRT and BRT system will be analysed according to their own transportation, economic, social and environmental impacts as a hypothetical exercise; moreover, through the use of MCDA techniques a global score for both systems will be determined, in order to allow for a fully comprehensive comparison. Keywords: BHLS, urban transport, transit systems, TOPSIS.

ABSTRACT Grain shipping involves many sources of risk and uncertainty. In response to these dynamic challenges faced by shippers, railroad carriers offer various types of forward contracting and allocation instruments. An important feature of the U.S. grain marketing system is that there are now a number of pricing and allocation mechanisms used by most rail carriers. These have evolved since the late 1980’s and have had important changes in their features over time. The operations and impact of these mechanisms are not well understood, yet are frequently the subject of public criticism and studies and at the same time are revered by (some) market participants.

The limitations of size, the power required, and the stability of these high-speed boats are discussed. 6nrr I- I I_, I I __I 311~ba~ 0 'THE HYDROFOIL BOAT Although work has been going forward on the development of the hydrofoil boat for more than fifty years and although a number of such boats of the most diverse types and sizes have been constructed, the general public is not very familiar with this type of high-speed craft. However, the state of research and technology as well as the test results obtained with hydrofoil boats built thus far have enabled us for years to utilize hydrofoil boats which are of considerable size and are safe to operate in ship traffic. The technical and economic inter- est presently being shown in these boats justifies the assumption that the hydrofoil boat will soon develop into a familiar means of transportation in high-speed ship traffic.

Form of Agreement 1. This Specification was written to be included as an attachment to a refurbishment or construction form of agreement. Throughout this document, the word “Agreement” shall refer to that agreement, as well as any/all attachments, including this specification. It is acknowledged that, in some cases, terms and conditions found in this Specification may overlap with terms and conditions found in the Agreement. In most cases, such overlap will occur because this Specification has terms specific to an elevator refurbishment, versus the Agreement which is a general document. Wherever overlap or conflict exists within or between any portion of the Agreement and any attachment, the most stringent terms and conditions shall apply. 2. If any conflict or discrepancy occurs in this specification with respect to the work specified, Contractor shall notify ECA immediately so that ECA may issue an appropriate amendment to the specification. If such a conflict or discrepancy is discovered after the award of the Agreement, it shall be assumed that Contractor has bid according to the more expensive option. In no case shall a chargeable change order result from a conflict or discrepancy within the Agreement. B. Scope 1. The scope of this specification and the resulting Agreement is for the cab refurbishment of the subject elevator equipment. Contractor is fully responsible for all work required to perform the refurbishment according to industry standards and all applicable codes, laws and guidelines as modified by any authority having jurisdiction, except where specific tasks and functions are explicitly stated within the Agreement to be the responsibility of another party.

  • Grain and Soybean Industry Dynamics and Rail Service
    Grain and Soybean Industry Dynamics and Rail Service Analytical Models of Rail Service Operations Final Report Michael Hyland, Hani Mahmassani, Lama Bou Mjahed, and Breton Johnson Northwestern University Transportation Center (NUTC) Parr Rosson Texas A&M University 1 Executive Summary To remain globally competitive, the United States’ grain industry and associated transportation services underwent significant restructuring over the past fifteen years. New technologies, helped by weather changes, led to sustained yield volume increases in the Upper Midwest. To move larger volumes faster and at lower cost, the railroad industry introduced shuttle train service. Traveling as a unit to the same destination, shuttle trains save considerable time in transit and potential delay, bypassing intermediate classification yards. Grain shippers concurrently began consolidating and storing grain in larger, more efficient terminal elevators (shuttle loaders) instead of country elevators. This report examines the effectiveness of shuttle train service and the terminal elevators supporting the shuttle train system, under different demand levels, through the formulation of simple mathematical models. In order to compare shuttle and conventional rail service, this paper introduces three distinct models. The first model, referred to as the ‘time model’, determines the time it takes to transport grain from the farm to a destination (e.g. an export elevator). The second model, referred to as the ‘engineering cost model’, determines the aggregate variable costs of transporting grain from the farm to an export elevator. The third model, referred to as the ‘capacity model’, determines the maximum attainable capacity (i.e. throughput) of a rail network as a function of demand for rail transport and the percentage of railcars on the network being moved via shuttle service and conventional service.
