This interest is instigated by public transit agencies desire to increase passenger capacity, improve productivity and reduce or at least maintain operating costs. Further, the interest is evi- denced by the delivery and deployment of over 500 articulated buses to four- teen cities and a current backorder of about another 700 units for a total capital investment of over $300 million. This study was conducted to provide technical assistance to urban transit managers and state DOT'S for use in their analyses and decision-making related to new deployments of articulated transit buses. Operational and maintenance experiences were obtained from each U.S. property currently using these high capacity vehicles. In addition, technical design and performance information was obtained from U.S. producers and numerous foreign articulated bus manufac- turers. In general, this report provides status information on articulated bus technology and its performance, to date, in domestic service. Currently, there are three U.S. producers of articulated transit coaches, M.A.N., Truck and Bus Corp., Crown Coach Corp. , and Neoplan, USA. GMC Truck and Coach Division reportedly will enter the market in 1984. To date, only M.A.N. and Crown Coach have any buses on the street and all of these were produced as driveable "bus shells" in Europe and finished to buyer's specifi- cation in this country. Very shortly M.A.N. will fabricate the total bus in the U.S. at its new North Carolina manufacturing facility. There are many European producers of articulated vehicles; this report identi- fies more than 20 companies that are actively engaged in the fabrication of articulated bus chassis, bodies or the whole bus. Their production facilities and capacities vary widely. After a few early problems and adjustments, particularly in the air condition- ing, electrical system and the automatic transmission, and after special train- ing for mechanics and operators, the articulated coach has performed well in IX all U.S. transit environments. Although data and opinions vary from location- to-location, the performance of the articulated vehicle has improved to where, in general, its availability for and reliability in revenue service is as good as the newer segments of the U.S. fleet. The fuel economy (2. 5-3. 5 mpg) is relatively good on a per seat-mile basis, since passenger capacity, both seated and standing, is about 50 percent greater than a conventional, 40-foot coach. Except possibly for very hilly or very narrow routes, the articulated transit coach has been operated successfully on all types of urban and suburban runs. These high capacity vehicles are used during peak ridership hours in all locations on express runs, radial or crosstown routes with high passenger demand and, in many locations, during the off-peak periods as well for up to eighteen revenue service hours per day. Articulated vehicles typically have been assigned to runs to meet existing high demands or to increase ridership. To better realize and document the full potential of articulated buses in U.S. transit service, it is generally agreed that special planning and scheduling efforts are needed for each location and route.

    Minibus or coach Module 4 Driver CPC questions and answers The Initial Driver CPC qualification was introduced into the bus and coach industry on September 10th 2008. Exactly one year before Driver CPC came into force for the commercial goods (HGV) industry (September 10th 2009). Part of acquiring the PCV Initial Driver CPC qualification means having to pass the module 4 examination. Module 4 is the practical associated knowledge test that is carried out at a DSA approved test centre. There is no driving required (suffice for the rolling brake check.) Students will need a DSA approved vehicle to demonstrate their answers. This test is all about scenarios a professional PCV driver may encounter in his or her working life. It includes PCV drivers legal obligations (vehicles checks, not overloading, pre-use checking), as well as checking for illegal immigrants, dealing with emergency situations etc. The Module 4 exam will last approximately 20-30 minutes and the DSA examiner will ask approximately 5-6 questions. To be successful you must attain at least 75% for each question and at least 80% overall. This post looks at the possible questions you may be given for your minibus or coach Driver CPC module 4 examination.

  • Buses – Global Market Trends
    2017 BUSES – GLOBAL MARKET TRENDS Markets – Competition – Companies – Key Figures Extract from the study BUSES – GLOBAL MARKET TRENDS Markets – Competition – Companies – Key figures In all regions across the globe, buses remain the most widespread public transport mode. Their demand goes hand in hand with several, mostly region-specific factors, including demographics, increasing mobility of people and environmental awareness, as well as public funding. Buses are comparatively to other transportation modes cheap and easy to use, since their use does not necessarily require the implementation of a specific infrastructure. This makes buses ideal vehicles for both short- and long-distance services. Based on the current developments, this Multi Client Study offers a comprehensive insight into the structure, volumes and development trends of the worldwide bus market. In concrete terms, the market study “BUSES – GLOBAL MARKET TRENDS” includes: A look at the worldwide market for buses differentiated by region An analysis of the relevant market data including present and future market volumes Information concerning the installed fleet and future procurement potential until 2022 An assessment of current developments and growth drivers of the worldwide bus markets in the individual regions An overview of bus manufacturers including an analysis of the market shares, financial backups as well as a brief description of the current product portfolio and strategy outlook A list of the major production facilities in each of the regions including product range as well as production capacities Presentation of the development stage of alternative propulsions, their manufacturers and their occurrence worldwide The study is available in English from the August 2017 at the price of EUR 3,400 plus VAT.

  • The Influence of Passenger Load, Driving Cycle, Fuel Price and Different
    Transportation https://doi.org/10.1007/s11116-018-9925-0 The infuence of passenger load, driving cycle, fuel price and diferent types of buses on the cost of transport service in the BRT system in Curitiba, Brazil Dennis Dreier1 · Semida Silveira1 · Dilip Khatiwada1 · Keiko V. O. Fonseca2 · Rafael Nieweglowski3 · Renan Schepanski3 © The Author(s) 2018 Abstract This study analyses the infuence of passenger load, driving cycle, fuel price and four diferent types of buses on the cost of transport service for one bus rapid transit (BRT) route in Curitiba, Brazil. First, the energy use is estimated for diferent passenger loads and driving cycles for a conventional bi-articulated bus (ConvBi), a hybrid-electric two- axle bus (HybTw), a hybrid-electric articulated bus (HybAr) and a plug-in hybrid-electric two-axle bus (PlugTw). Then, the fuel cost and uncertainty are estimated considering the fuel price trends in the past. Based on this and additional cost data, replacement scenarios for the currently operated ConvBi feet are determined using a techno-economic optimisa- tion model. The lowest fuel cost ranges for the passenger load are estimated for PlugTw amounting to (0.198–0.289) USD/km, followed by (0.255–0.315) USD/km for HybTw, (0.298–0.375) USD/km for HybAr and (0.552–0.809) USD/km for ConvBi. In contrast, C the coefcient of variation ( v ) of the combined standard uncertainty is the highest for C PlugTw ( v : 15–17%) due to stronger sensitivity to varying bus driver behaviour, whereas C it is the least for ConvBi ( v : 8%).
