CREATS: Phase II Final Report, Vol. II: Strategic Corridors, Area Transport Management and Development Program Chapter 2: EAST WING PUBLIC TRANSPORT DEVELOPMENT 2.6 PLANNING OF THE SELECTED OPTION 2.6.1 Future Transport Demand (1) East Wing Passengers A further detailed demand forecast was conducted only for the railway option 1 (R1) selected through the preceding screening process in order to formulate a planning framework of technical, engineering and operational aspects, including design criteria for track layout, stations and facilities, train operation scheme and procurements of rolling stocks. The economic analysis is also based on the newly projected demand. The outcomes of the demand forecast elaborated in this section are not identical to those discussed in the screening process as described in Section 2.5.2, because of setting of different assumptions for the above purpose. Major difference of the assumptions between both cases is tabulated below: For the Screening Process For Elaborated Forecast Number of Zones 503 525 Train Speed Total Number of Trips in the Study 25.14 million 25.65 million Area - Ain Shams-Oboor: 60km/h - Ain Shams-Oboor: 60 km/h - Oboor-Industrial Area: 80km/h - Oboor-Industrial Area: 80km/h Train Speed - Industrial Area-Bus Terminal: - Industrial Area-Bus Terminal: 60km/h 50km/h 2007: LE0.63 + 3 P/km The same fare system after verifying Fare System 2012: LE0.74 + 4 P/km the optimal fare level 2022: LE1.00 + 5 P/km Headway Every 6 minutes Every 6 minutes In particular, the number of traffic zones was refined for this feasibility study to be increase from 503 to 525, because of needs of more accurate projections, focusing on the Project. Related to such an increase in the number of zones, the total number of trips eventually increased from 25.14 million to 25.65 million, because intra-zonal trips among additional zones were counted. Table 2.6.1 and Figure 2.6.1 show the forecasted daily passenger flow of the East Wing. This forecast results are based on different assumptions as described above. Therefore, it should be noted that numbers of passengers are different from Table 2.5.1, which was projected for the screening purposes. Looking into the distribution of daily passengers for both directions by section, the sections between Salam City and Shorooq shows a high passenger volume. 2 - 39 CREATS: Phase II Final Report, Vol. II: Strategic Corridors, Area Transport Management and Development Program Chapter 2: EAST WING PUBLIC TRANSPORT DEVELOPMENT The highest volume is seen in the section between the Ring Road and Oboor, approximately 390,000 passengers per day for both directions. The passengers flow considerably reduces to be approximately 200,000 in the section between Salam City and Ain Shams, because passengers transfer at Salam City Station to Metro Line 3, to go to/from the central Cairo areas.

The peak ratio was assumed to be 10 % of daily traffic, based on Metro passenger information. Justification of the peak ratio is explained in Section 2.6.6. 2 - 40 CREATS: Phase II Final Report, Vol. II: Strategic Corridors, Area Transport Management and Development Program Chapter 2: EAST WING PUBLIC TRANSPORT DEVELOPMENT Table 2.6.2 Peak-hour Transport Demand Forecast Results (Number of Peak-hour Passengers per Hour & per Direction) Section 2007 2012 2022 Ain Shams Salam City 3,223 4,748 10,377 Salam City Ring Road 3,223 4,748 19,340 Ring Road Oboor 3,263 4,832 19,498 Oboor Darb El Hag 2,545 3,590 16,555 Darb El Hag Shorooq 2,376 3,399 15,003 Shorooq Industrial Area 2,353 2,811 8,831 Industrial Area 10th of Ramadan 1,697 2,501 8,591 10th of Ramadan Bus Terminal 1,293 1,875 5,534 Source: JICA Study Team (2) Metro Passenger Metro Line 1 is even now carrying a large number of passengers. Therefore, it would be a concern if an additional large volume of passengers can be transferred to the Metro after the completion of the East Wing railway. According to the CREATS Model, in the case of Metro Line 1, the maximum passenger flow was forecasted at 573,000 passengers per day per direction in the section between Demerdash and Ghamra in 2022. The hourly volume would be less than 60,000 per direction. This volume will be able to be carried by modern railway trains, given appropriate improvement measures for the capacity enhancement, for example, by increasing the number of cars per train. As for Metro Line 3, it was confirmed that Metro Line 3 will take one third of passengers from the East Wing railway to the city center after the opening of the line. The maximum passenger flow per section was forecast as 537,000 per day and per direction in the section between Maspero and Naser. This volume is less than that of Metro Line 1, which means Metro Line 3 could accommodate passengers, given an appropriate measure. 2.6.2 Design Criteria Since Option 1 (R1) was selected from the six options of the East Wing public transport development, the Study Team proceeds to the technical and engineering planning for Option 1, which is both the rehabilitation of the existing ENR Suez line and a new line construction to connect the 10th of Ramadan City with the existing ENR line. In this section, the design criteria for Option 1 are examined. Table 2.6.3 shows a summary of the proposed specifications of the Option 1 plan, and the proposed construction gauge and rolling stock gauge are as illustrated on Figure 2.6.2. 2 - 41 CREATS: Phase II Final Report, Vol. II: Strategic Corridors, Area Transport Management and Development Program Chapter 2: EAST WING PUBLIC TRANSPORT DEVELOPMENT Table 2.6.3 Specification Item Project specifacation Gauge 1435 mm Horizontal Curvature Between Station Desirable 400m or more Minimum 300m On station platform Minimum 500m Depot/Workshop connections Minimum 200m or more Gradient Maximum track gradient on 3% Compensated Diesel car Vertical Curves Radius Minimum 4000m Rail size UIC 54.0kg/m L=25m Sleeper PC Sleeper or Wood Ballast depth Crushed stone (under the sleeper) Minimum 250mm or more Bank slope gradient 1:1.5 Formation width 10.65m Ballast width 7.00m Design Speed Max.

The recommended standard track gauge is 1.435 mm the same as the existing gauge. The gauge is measured between running faces of rails at 14 mm below the top of the rails. At curved sections and turnout sections, no gauge widening is applied. Curves will be designed with a curvature of at least 300 m in radius to meet the requirements of future train operating speed. The maximum rail gradient will be 30/1000. (4) Rail The rail shall be either of the UIC 60 (60 kg/m) or UIC 54 (54 kg/m) profile. Insulated joints shall be provided for the signaling system. The UIC standard rails are highly reliable and have been widely used in railways all over the world. The rails will be delivered in lengths of 25 m per unit as a maximum. (5) Sleepers Standard concrete pre-stressed mono-bloc sleepers are proposed. Alternatively post-tensioned concrete sleepers can be used subject to the preference of ENR. Special considerations should be given to the effective fixation of the guard rails. The length of sleepers is approximately 2,400 mm long. The width of the sleepers at the base is approximately 200 mm. The space between sleepers on the main line shall be 60 cm, while it shall be 70 cm in the depot. Sleepers for turnouts and sections within 20 m of the turnouts (rail without inclination) shall be made from concrete or vacuum treated hard wood. (6) Ballast ENR currently use limestone and granite ballast. New ballast shall be crushed stone extracted from non-friable unweathered igneous or metamorphic rock, i.e., granite. It is desirable that the road bed ballast be replaced with crushed stone and that materials be screened if gravel from rivers is used. For the materials, the LA abrasion test should be applied with the internationally acknowledged criteria. The design thickness of ballast will be 25 cm under the sleepers (Figure 2.6.3).

Transport modes including roads, railways, and inland waterways in Egypt are assessed, focusing on their roles in the logistics system. Inland transport facilities including dry ports (facilities adopted primarily to decongest sea ports from containers) and to less extent, border crossing ports, are also investigated based on the data available. In order to enhance the logistics system, the role of private stakeholders and the main governmental organizations whose functions have impact on logistics are considered. Finally, the bottlenecks are identified and countermeasures are recommended to realize an efficient logistics system. 4.1.1 Current Trend of Different Transport Modes Sharing The trends and developments shaping the freight transport industry have great impact on the assigned freight volumes carried on the different inland transport modes. A trend that can be commonly observed in several countries around the world is the continuous increase in the share of road freight transport rather than other modes. Such a trend creates tremendous pressure on the road network. Japan for instance faces a situation where road freight’s share is increasing while the share of the other

    The Data on Periodical (Weekly) Market at the End of the 19Th Century in Egypt -The Cases of Qaliubiya, Sharqiya and Daqahliya Provinces

    The Data on Periodical (Weekly) Market at the End of the 19th Century in Egypt -The cases of Qaliubiya, Sharqiya and Daqahliya Provinces Hiroshi Kato Some geographers and historians are concerned with periodical market, which they define as the place of economic transactions peculiar to so called "peasant society. In Egypt, which is, as well known, a typical hydraulic society, periodical market, that is weekly market (α1- siiq al-usbu i) in the Islamic world, still has the important economic functions in rural areas at the present, as well as it had in the past. The author is now collecting the data on Egyptian weekly market from the 19th century to the present, based upon source materials on one hand, and field research on the other. The aim of this paper is to present some statistical and ge0- graphical data on Egyptian weekly market at the end of the 19th century to the researchers who are interested in periodical market in agrarian society, before the intensive study, which the author is planning in the future, on the economic functions of Egyptian weekly market and their transformation in the process of the modernization of Egyptian society. The source material from which the data are collected is A. Boinet, Geographie Econ0- mique et Administrative de I'Egypte, Basse-Egypte I, Le Caire, 1902. It is the results of the population census in 1897 and the agrarian census maybe took in 1898 and 1899, being annexed to the population census in the previous year. The data are arranged village by village, and contain the statistics on cultivated area, crops, planted trees, animals, industry, traffic by rail- road, and transportation by the Nile and canals, and the descriptive informations and remarks on school, canal, railroad, market, post office and so on.

    Pýý.ý577 THE IMPACT OF THE ARAB CONQUEST ON LATE ROMAN SETTLEMENTIN EGYPT VOLUME I: TEXT UNIVERSITY LIBRARY CAMBRIDGE This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Cambridge, March 2002 ALISON GASCOIGNE DARWIN COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE For my parents with love and thanks Abstract The Impact of the Arab Conquest on Late Roman Settlement in Egypt Alison Gascoigne, Darwin College The Arab conquest of Egypt in 642 AD affected the development of Egyptian towns in various ways. The actual military struggle, the subsequent settling of Arab tribes and changes in administration are discussed in chapter 1, with reference to specific sites and using local archaeological sequences. Chapter 2 assesseswhether our understanding of the archaeological record of the seventh century is detailed enough to allow the accurate dating of settlement changes. The site of Zawyet al-Sultan in Middle Egypt was apparently abandoned and partly burned around the time of the Arab conquest. Analysis of surface remains at this site confirmed the difficulty of accurately dating this event on the basis of current information. Chapters3 and 4 analysethe effect of two mechanismsof Arab colonisation on Egyptian towns. First, an investigation of the occupationby soldiers of threatened frontier towns (ribats) is based on the site of Tinnis. Examination of the archaeological remains indicates a significant expansion of Tinnis in the eighth and ninth centuries, which is confirmed by references in the historical sources to building programmes funded by the central government. Second, the practice of murtaba ` al- jund, the seasonal exploitation of the town and its hinterland for the grazing of animals by specific tribal groups is examined with reference to Kharibta in the western Delta.

    1St Report on the Climatology of Nile Delta, Egypt

    First Report Climatology of Nile Delta, Egypt Prepared by Dr. Ashraf Zaki, Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) Dr Atef Swelam, IWLMP, ICARDA January 2017 1st Report on the Climatology of Nile Delta, Egypt The Climatology of Nile Delta, Egypt 1. Introduction Weather is the condition of the atmosphere over a brief period of time. For example, we speak of today’s weather or the weather this week. Climate represents the composite of day-to-day weather over a longer period of time. Climate is usually defined by what is expected or “normal”, which climatologists traditionally interpret as the 30-year average. By itself, “normal” can be misleading unless we also understand the concept of variability. A climatologist attempts to discover and explain the impacts of climate so that society can plan its activities, design its buildings and infrastructure, and anticipate the effects of adverse conditions. Although climate is not weather, it is defined by the same terms, such as temperature, precipitation, wind, and solar radiation. The misconception that weather is usually normal becomes a serious problem when you consider that weather, in one form or another, is the source of water for irrigation, drinking, power supply, industry, wildlife habitat, and other uses. To ensure that our water supply, livelihoods, and lives are secure, it is essential that planners anticipate variation in weather, and that they recognize that drought and flood are both inevitable parts of the normal range of weather. Over Egypt and North Africa, the decrease in annual precipitation that is predicted in the 21st century will exacerbate these effects, particularly in semiarid and arid regions that rely on irrigation for crop growth.

However, under the direction of Raymond of Le Puy,T master from ##$%, it began to take on significant military responsibilities, possibly in emulation of the newly-founded Order of the Temple. In ##&' the Hos- pitallers were given the castle of Bethgibelin, one of a ring of fortresses which King Fulk of Jerusalem had constructed to isolate the Fātimid strongold of Ascalon on the kingdom’s south-western frontier. In ##)$ the Order was given a large, con- tiguous bloc of territory including the Krak des Chevaliers and four other castles on the frontier of the county of Tripoli by Count Raymond II. While the defence of such territories clearly required military forces, it is difficult to know how far the Order’s own personnel was militarised, since it could well have made use of vassals, mercenaries or sergeants to provide most of its forces.
