Oriental Consultants Global Co., Ltd. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. Japan Transportation Planning Association Reproduction Prohibited Preface This report shows the result of “Study on Economic Partnership Projects in Developing Countries in FY2014” prepared by the study group of TOSTEMS, Inc., Oriental Consultants Global Co., Ltd., Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. and Japan Transportation Planning Association for Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. This study “Study on Medium Capacity Transit System Project in Metro Manila, The Republic of The Philippines” was conducted to examine the feasibility of the project which construct the medium capacity transit system to approximately 18km route from Sta. Mesa area through Mandaluyong City, Ortigas CBD and reach to Taytay City with project cost of 150 billion Yen. The project aim to reduce traffic congestion, strengthen the east-west axis by installing track-guided transport system and form the railway network with connecting existing and planning lines. We hope this study will contribute to the project implementation, and will become helpful for the relevant parties. February 2015 TOSTEMS, Inc. Oriental Consultants Global Co., Ltd. Mitsubishi Heavy

Rail and the City
RAIL AND THE CITY Shrinking Our Carbon Footprint while Reimagining Urban Space ROXANNE WARREN, AIA RAIL AND THE CITY • CLIMATE CHANGE, AND BENEFITS OF HIGH-DENSITIES • THE SPACE CONSUMED FOR CARS, AND SOLO DRIVING • DEVELOPMENT OVERBLOWN • DETERMINING NEEDS FOR RAIL INFRASTRUCTURE • THE UNIQUE FEATURES OF RAIL • HOW DID WE LOSE THESE VALUABLE ASSETS? • A MODEST CORRECTION TO GOVERNMENT POLICIES • REDESIGN OF TRAMS AS LIGHT RAIL, WORLDWIDE • INTERCITY RAIL IN THE US • HIGH-SPEED RAIL IN THE US, AND ENVISIONED WORLDWIDE • HIGH-SPEED RAIL POTENTIAL IN THE US • SHRINKING THE IMPACT OF ACCESS TO RAIL STATIONS CLIMATE CHANGE which is poised to inundate coastal cities with flooding worldwide – and must be our first concern – is integrally related to our reliance upon cars and planes, and its replication across the globe. • Emissions from transportation are the fastest growing source of greenhouse gases. If current population trends continue – by the year 2050, 2 to 3 billion cars may be on the world’s roads, compared with 800 million cars today – and emissions are expected to have increased by 300% percent. • Also by 2050, if current migratory trends continue, some 70% of humanity is likely to be living in cities. Besides the potential cultural benefits of city living, the likely ecological and economic benefits of more compact development are vast, and make great sense for a future of growing populations and scarcer resources. As densities of development are increased, significant savings per dwelling unit can be realized in the costs of land, utilities, construction materials, in the energy needed for space heating and cooling, and in the fuel, raw materials, and land consumed for transportation – not to mention, in the vital preservation of watersheds.

Analysis of Moving Walkway Use in Airport Terminal Corridors
44 TRANSPORTATION RESEARCH RECORD 1506 Analysis of Moving Walkway Use in Airport Terminal Corridors SETH YOUNG This paper explores the use of pedestrian conveyor systems, otherwise those passengers carrying baggage, airports, in theory, are ideal known as moving walkways, in long public corridors such as those locations for moving walkways. found in major commercial airports. The investigation includes a brief Airport terminals have had a unique experience with passenger comparison of moving walkways with other primary modes of airport conveyor systems. Over the years, airports have acted as testing terminal passenger transportation and an empirical study of the use of moving walkways through analysis of passenger conveyors at the grounds for technological modifications to passenger conveyors. In United Airlines Terminal at San Francisco International Airport. The addition, airports have provided unique arenas for competition empirical study investigates the physical characteristics of several con between passenger conveyors and other passenger-mobility sys veyors and their locations within the airport terminal. The study also tems, such as electric courtesy carts, people movers, and buses. examines the passengers that traverse the corridors where the moving With each mode's inherent advantages and disadvantages, present walkways are located. Characteristics of the passengers, along with conveyor technology has found its niche within the airport terminal their "mode choice" of transport along the corridor were recorded. With these data, a brief examination of current passenger use is made, with environment. This paper will discuss briefly the characteristics that an emphasis on how travel speeds vary with each mode.
