The International Light Rail Magazine THE INTERNATIONAL LIGHT RAIL MAGAZINE www.lrta.org www.tautonline.com FEBRUARY 2020 NO. 986 2020 VISION Our predictions for the new systems due to open this year Hamilton LRT cancellation ‘a betrayal’ Tram & metro: Doha’s double opening China launches 363km of new routes Berlin tramways Added value £4.60 Bringing Germany’s What is your tram capital back together project really worth?

INTRODUCTION DEFINATION AND MEANING Inventory is a list of goods and materials, or those goods and materials themselves, held available in stock by a business. Inventory are held in order to manage and hide from the customer the fact that manufacture/supply delay is longer than delivery delay, and also to ease the effect of imperfections in the manufacturing process that lower production efficiencies if production capacity stands idle for lack of materials. The reasons for keeping stock All these stock reasons can apply to any owner or product stage. Buffer stock is held in individual workstations against the possibility that the upstream workstation may be a little delayed in providing the next item for processing. Whilst some processes carry very large buffer stocks, Toyota moved to one (or a few items) and has now moved to eliminate this stock type. Safety stock is held against process or machine failure in the hope/belief that the failure can be repaired before the stock runs out. This type of stock can be eliminated by programmes like Total Productive Maintenance Overproduction is held because the forecast and the actual sales did not match.

Beijing is such a metropolis and in its urban peripheral, an increasing number of communities have emerged that are comprised of monotonous housing projects. However, after the basic residential living requirements are satisfied, many other problems (including lack of amenities, distance between home and workplace which is particularly concerned with long commute time, traffic congestion, and etc.) exist.

  • Boundary Identification for Traction Energy Conservation Capability of Urban Rail Timetables
    energies Article Boundary Identification for Traction Energy Conservation Capability of Urban Rail Timetables: A Case Study of the Beijing Batong Line Jiang Liu 1,*, Tian-tian Li 2, Bai-gen Cai 3 and Jiao Zhang 4 1 School of Electronic and Information Engineering, Beijing Jiaotong University, Beijing 100044, China 2 Beijing Engineering Research Center of EMC and GNSS Technology for Rail Transportation, Beijing 100044, China; [email protected] 3 School of Computer and Information Technology, Beijing Jiaotong University, Beijing 100044, China; [email protected] 4 Vehicle and Equipment Technology Department, Beijing Subway Operation Technology Centre, Beijing 100044, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 14 February 2020; Accepted: 20 April 2020; Published: 24 April 2020 Abstract: Energy conservation is attracting more attention to achieve a reduced lifecycle system cost level while enabling environmentally friendly characteristics. Conventional research mainly concentrates on energy-saving speed profiles, where the energy level evaluation of the timetable is usually considered separately. This paper integrates the train driving control optimization and the timetable characteristics by analyzing the achievable tractive energy conservation performance and the corresponding boundaries. A calculation method for energy efficient driving control solution is proposed based on the Bacterial Foraging Optimization (BFO) strategy, which is utilized to carry out batch processing with timetable. A boundary identification solution is proposed to detect the range of energy conservation capability by considering the relationships with average interstation speed and the passenger volume condition. A case study is presented using practical data of Beijing Metro Batong Line and two timetable schemes. The results illustrate that the proposed optimized energy efficient driving control approach is capable of saving tractive energy in comparison with the conventional traction calculation-based train operation solution.

Organophosphate esters (OPEs) are contaminants of emerging concernemerging 11 contaminants in recent years and studies concluded that urban areascenters were a significant source of 12 OPEs. Samples were collected from six ground-based sites located in Chengdu, a typical fast 13 developing metropolitan of southwest China and were analyzed for seven OPEs in atmospheric PM2.5. -3 14 The concentrations of Σ7 OPEs in PM2.5 ranged from 5.83 to 6.91 ng· m , with a mean of 6.6 ± 3.3 15 ng· m-3, and the primary pollutants were TBEP, TnBP, TCEP and TCPP which together made up more 16 than 80% in the Σ7 OPEs. The concentrations of Σ7 OPEs were higher in autumn/winter than that in 17 summer. Nonparametric test showed that there was no significant difference in Σ7 OPEs concentrations 18 among the six sampling sites, but the occurrence of unexpected high level of individual OPEs at 19 different sites in autumn might indicate that there was a noteworthy emission. Very strong correlation 2 20 (R = 0.98, p<0.01) between the OPEs in soil and in PM2.5 was observedsuggested the atmospheric 21 PM2.5 settlement is an important source of OPEs in soil.
