Overview of Global Railway Business in Q4 2020 IEC INTERNATIONAL GLOBAL RAILWAY BUSINESS OVERVIEW OF MAJOR RAIL EVENTS IV QUARTER 2020 IEC International | Global railway business overview | Q4 2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY BUSINESS HEALTH Q4 showed a relatively low level of activity, as previously Q3. Digital and technological have been blooming, 01 however they mainly refer to levels of companies or countries and no to large-scale cooperative and integration solutions. INVESTMENTS AND FINANCING increase in total value of announced projects thanks to large programmes in EU countries 02 € 37 bn in Q4 (€ 9 bn in Q3, € 18 bn in Q2, € 281 in Q1). COVID-19 IMPACT Q4 was similar to Q3 in term of pandemic-related initiatives and support measures. In EU area the initiatives are mainly linked to 2021 Year of Railway. No drastic review of national or international strategies has benn 03 proposed by key market players, apart from changes in specific passenger services.

The graph theory gives a mathematical representation of transport networks and allows us to study their characteristics effectively. A research of the structure of metro system has been conducted in the study by using the graph theory. The study includes subway systems of 22 European capitals. New indicators have been defined in the research such as a degree of routing, a connectivity of the route, average length per link (which takes into account the number of routes), intensity of the route, density of the route. The new and the existing indicators have been used to analyze and classify the metro networks. The statistical method cluster analysis has been applied to classify the networks. Ten indicators have been used to carry out an analysis. The metro systems in European capitals have been classified in three clusters. The first cluster includes large metro systems, the second one includes small metro networks whereas the third cluster includes metro networks with only one line. The combination of both two methods has been used for the first time in this research. The methodology could be used to evaluate other existing metro networks as well as for preliminary analysis in the design of subway systems.

  • GMT Global Metro Projects Report 2018.Qxp
    GLOBAL METRO PROJECTS REPORT 2018 The continued growth of the metrorail sector across the world has reinforced its role in urban transportation and boosted the order book of many construction contractors and equipment suppliers. The sector has benefited from favourable government policies, public investment and recognition as the mode of choice for transport authorities interested in providing sustainable urban mobility solutions for Smart Cities. The industry has many opportunities because the existing lines and rolling stock need renewal and upgrade; there is a strong pipeline of projects which are in approval or planning phase and new business segments such as asset management, support for complex construction and operations planning have opened up in the services sector. Transport authorities are keen to improve service reliability, operations efficiency and environmental sustainability of the existing metrorail systems as well as lower costs and implementation timelines of upcoming systems. New technology has enabled greater engagement with the customers through integrated electronic ticketing and Wi-Fi, demand-based and flexible service for crowd management, real-time passenger alerts, low downtime due to predictive maintenance and increased lifespan of assets. The transport authorities adopting best practices in these areas receive the benefits of enhanced image and high ridership. The Global Metro Projects Report 2018 assesses the current metrorail sector and identifies upcoming opportunities. It provides updated information on 100 metro projects from 52 countries representing over 80 per cent of the world's gross domestic product. The report is comprehensive in its coverage of opportunities in the development of new lines, extension and upgrades of existing lines, rolling stock procurement and refurbishment, power and communication systems upgrades, fare systems, as well as station construction and refurbishment.

E-mail: [email protected] METRO AS AN EXAMPLE OF AN URBAN RAIL SYSTEM. FOUR CASE STUDIES FROM EUROPE Summary. Underground, tube, subway or metro are common expressions used to describe a rapid transit system serving urban areas. Such a system uses dedicated rail corridors, can run underground or overground, and often includes tunnels and viaducts. Although there are 148 cities in the world with metro systems, each system is different, in terms of layout, length, capacity, etc., as it serves different geographical and socio- economical areas. In this context, the paper presents four European metro systems (Sofia, Warsaw, Lisbon, and Tyne and Wear), introduces the systems dimensions, rolling stock and ticketing strategies and compares similarities and differences between the systems. The analyses suggest a number of recommendations and improvements, which if implemented, could benefit other metro systems in Europe and beyond.

Come rain or shine and no matter if you’re here for just a short while or for longer, Warsaw is a great choice for any mood or weather. The city has a fasci- nating history and is really full of sur- prises, revealing ever new secrets. It is a melting pot of sounds, tastes, and emo- YOU ONLY CAME YOU’RE A TRUE EXPLORER? YOU'RE ON A BUSINESS TRIP? tions. It is a green, modern metropolis FOR A MOMENT? and an ideal place to visit with your fa- mily, with loved ones or just by yourself. So buy a ticket, pack some things and off you go. And don’t worry – we’ll tell you what to do in Warsaw if… YOU’RE A SPORTS FAN? YOU’RE FEELING A LITTLE YOU’RE IN LOVE? HUNGRY? YOU FEEL LIKE A PARTY?

Or perhaps a picnic in Pole Mokotowskie park or a stroll along the Vistula Boulevard and a sun-bathing session on the biggest urban river beach in Europe? A trip out of the city to the greenery of the surrounding nature is not a bad idea either – after all, Warsaw is the only capital in Europe in the imme- diate neighbourhood of a national park.
