In addition, passenger transport services e.g. for business and service trips are of growing interest for Life Cycle Assessment studies. Comprehensive life cycle in- ventories (LCI) of various means of transport are available from Frischknecht (1996)and Maibach (1999). Within the framework of ecoinvent 2000 projects, these data have been extended, updated and harmonised. The main objective of transport modelling in ecoinvent is to provide background data for transport services in order to complete a variety of product life cycles. Generic background data have been gen- erated for four modes of transport (air-, rail-, road- and water transport) to account for environmental interventions due to the transportation between two process steps of a product system. The data repre- sent average transport conditions in Switzerland and Europe. In order to quantify environmental exchanges of transport services and relate transport datasets to other product life cycles, the environmental exchanges are related to the reference unit of one tonne kilometre [tkm]. A tonne kilometre is defined as the transport of one tonne of goods by a certain trans- port service over one kilometre. Passenger transport data is expressed in passenger kilometres [pkm]. Each mode of transport is further separated into sub-groups, referred to as transport services, using several criteria such as geographical operation (e.g., rail transport), vehicle size (e.g., road transport) and transported goods (e.g., water transport). Transport services are divided into several datasets, so- called transport components. In addition to vehicle operation (comprising vehicle travel and pre- combustion), infrastructure processes such as vehicle maintenance, manufacturing and disposal as well as transport infrastructure construction, operation and disposal are also modelled. ecoinvent report No 14 New, Updated and Corrected Datasets in ecoinvent data v2.0 New and Updated Transport Datasets in ecoinvent v2.0 The ecoinvent data v2.0 contain new and updated life cycle inventories of transport systems based on fossil fuels and biofuels as well as life cycle inventories of electric railway transport systems. This re- port contains the inventories and documentation of fossil fuel-based and railway transport services, while biofuel-based transport services are documented in (Jungbluth et al. 2007). Fossil fuel-based and railway transport services Comprehensive life cycle inventories (LCI) for various transport services (road, rail, water and air) have been produced within the framework of ecoinvent v1.1 by Spielmann (2004). Within the frame- work of ecoinvent v2.0, data the focus is the extension and update of road transport datasets. In addi- tion the figures for Swiss rail transport have been updated and some datasets representing the rail transport of coal in China and the USA have been added. In the tables below the updated and new datasets are presented.

  • Bilevel Rail Car - Wikipedia
    Bilevel rail car - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilevel_rail_car Bilevel rail car The bilevel car (American English) or double-decker train (British English and Canadian English) is a type of rail car that has two levels of passenger accommodation, as opposed to one, increasing passenger capacity (in example cases of up to 57% per car).[1] In some countries such vehicles are commonly referred to as dostos, derived from the German Doppelstockwagen. The use of double-decker carriages, where feasible, can resolve capacity problems on a railway, avoiding other options which have an associated infrastructure cost such as longer trains (which require longer station Double-deck rail car operated by Agence métropolitaine de transport platforms), more trains per hour (which the signalling or safety in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The requirements may not allow) or adding extra tracks besides the existing Lucien-L'Allier station is in the back line. ground. Bilevel trains are claimed to be more energy efficient,[2] and may have a lower operating cost per passenger.[3] A bilevel car may carry about twice as many as a normal car, without requiring double the weight to pull or material to build. However, a bilevel train may take longer to exchange passengers at each station, since more people will enter and exit from each car. The increased dwell time makes them most popular on long-distance routes which make fewer stops (and may be popular with passengers for offering a better view).[1] Bilevel cars may not be usable in countries or older railway systems with Bombardier double-deck rail cars in low loading gauges.

  • Energy Efficiency Strategies for Rolling Stock and Train Operation 1 Mass
    Energy efficiency strategies for rolling stock and train operation 1 Mass reduction Typical passenger trains have specific weights between 400 and 800 kg per seat1, but some high speed trains such as the German ICE 2 have values as high as 1100 kg/seat. Although there are some railway-specific limits to light-weight efforts, such as side wind stability, the Japanese Shinkansen (537 kg per seat) and the Copenhagen suburban trains (360kg per seat) may serve as benchmarks for light- weight in high speed and local service respectively2. Two types of lightweight efforts are to be distinguished: • component-based lightweight design which focuses on the elements of the system "train" without any changes to basic principle of the train configuration • system-based lightweight design which tries to find the weight-optimised solution for the whole system Component-based lightweight design In the field of component-based lightweight design, the use of new materials or innovative traction components offer substantial potential for mass reduction. Figure 1 helps to identify the most promising areas for lightweight efforts by giving the mass distribution of a typical MU. In past years aluminium carbodies have replaced steel constructions to a large degree and can now be considered as standard in new stock for regional and high speed lines. Future developments in car-body construction point in the direction of carbon fibre materials. Many state-of-the-art propulsion components are lighter than their predecessors, such as the IGBT replacing the GTO. Some innovative concepts such as the medium frequency transformer promise further progress in this direction.

  • Gotthard – Der Mythos Lebt, Die SBB Bewegt. Editorial
    Gotthard – der Mythos lebt, die SBB bewegt. Editorial «Unser Angebot am Gotthard 3 zeigt, wie wir Leidenschaft und Wirtschaftlichkeit verbinden.» Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren Der Gotthard ist ein historischer Verkehrsweg. Als Zeuge der Pionierleistungen der jungen SBB ist er für uns von grosser Bedeutung. Deshalb freuen wir uns besonders, im Dezember 2016 den Gotthard- Basistunnel in Betrieb zu nehmen. Mit dieser Broschüre geben wir Ihnen einen Überblick über die Leistun- gen der SBB durch und über den Gotthard. Denn unser Angebot erschöpft sich nicht in schnellen Zügen durch den neuen Tunnel. Wir werden weiterhin mit einem nachfragegerechten Angebot auf der Gotthard- Panoramastrecke von Norden und Süden her präsent sein. Dazu werden wir den Gotthard Panorama Express etablieren, der den Vergleich mit den bekannten grossen Schweizer Panoramazügen der Schmalspurbahnen nicht zu scheuen braucht. Für Wanderer, Velofahrer und Touristen bieten wir weiterhin direkte Züge von Zürich über Erstfeld nach Göschenen und in die Leventina an. In Zusammenarbeit mit den Tourismuspartnern der Region haben wir ein umfangreiches Vermarktungs- paket «St. Gotthard» geschnürt, das unseren Kundinnen und Kunden unvergessliche Erlebnisse ermög- licht und für unsere Partner einen spürbaren Mehrwert generiert. 2019 wird die SBB mit dem Giruno einen neuen, speziell für den Gotthard entwickelten Zug in Betrieb nehmen. Es ist für mich Ehrensache, dass wir drei dieser Züge auf die Namen «Gotthard/Gottardo», «Uri» und «Ticino» taufen werden. Ich freue mich, dabei mit Ihnen auf unser attraktives Angebot am Gotthard anzustossen. Freundliche Grüsse Ihr Toni Häne Leiter Verkehr und Mitglied der Geschäftsleitung Personenverkehr 30 Minuten schneller in den Süden und in den Norden reisen.

Ces projections confirment la pertinence des propositions ambitieuses de la FNAUT en matière de transport public urbain et ferroviaire. S’agissant de la longue distance (plus de 100 km), le CGEDD prévoit que le trafic voyageurs va croître de 1,2% par an entre 2012 et 2030 puis de 1,1% par an entre 2030 et 2050 en raison de l’augmentation géné- rale de la population et de la progression des salaires.

  • Railway Capacity Allocation: a Survey of Market Organizations, Allocation Processes and Track Access Charges
    Railway Capacity Allocation: A Survey of Market Organizations, Allocation Processes and Track Access Charges VTI Working Paper 2019:1 Abderrahman Ait Ali1,2 and Jonas Eliasson2 1 Transport Economics, VTI, Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute 2 Communications and Transport Systems, Linköping University Abstract In the last few decades, many railway markets (especially in Europe) have been restructured to allow competition between different operators. This survey studies how competition has been introduced and regulated in a number of different countries around the world. In particular, we focus on a central part of market regulation specific to railway markets, namely the capacity allocation process. Conflicting capacity requests from different train operators need to be regulated and resolved, and the efficiency and transparency of this process is crucial. Related to this issue is how access charges are constructed and applied. Several European countries have vertically separated their railway markets, separating infrastructure management from train services provisions, thus allowing several train operators to compete with different passengers and freight services. However, few countries have so far managed to create efficient and transparent processes for allocating capacity between competing train operators, and incumbent operators still have larger market-share in many markets.

  • Schedule-Based Estimation of Pedestrian Demand Within a Railway Station
    Schedule-based estimation of pedestrian demand within a railway station Flurin Hänseler Nicholas Molyneaux Michel Bierlaire Amanda Stathopoulos Transport and Mobility Laboratory, EPFL May 2014 Schedule-based estimation of pedestrian demand within a railway station May 2014 Transport and Mobility Laboratory, EPFL Schedule-based estimation of pedestrian demand within a railway station Flurin Hänseler, Nicholas Molyneaux, Michel Bierlaire, Amanda Stathopoulos {flurin.haenseler,nicholas.molyneaux,michel.bierlaire,amanda.stathopoulos}@epfl.ch May 1, 2014 Abstract A framework is outlined for estimating pedestrian demand within a railway station which takes advantage of the train timetable and train frequentation data, as well as various direct or indirect indicators of demand. These may include e.g. link flow counts, measurements of density and travel times, or historical information. The problem is considered in discrete time and at the aggregate level, i.e., for groups of pedestrians associated with the same origin-destination pair and with the same departure time interval. The formulation of the framework allows for a wide applicability to various types of railway stations and input data. A preliminary case study analysis of Lausanne railway station provides an example of such an application.
