  • TCQSM Part 8
    Transit Capacity and Quality of Service Manual—2nd Edition PART 8 GLOSSARY This part of the manual presents definitions for the various transit terms discussed and referenced in the manual. Other important terms related to transit planning and operations are included so that this glossary can serve as a readily accessible and easily updated resource for transit applications beyond the evaluation of transit capacity and quality of service. As a result, this glossary includes local definitions and local terminology, even when these may be inconsistent with formal usage in the manual. Many systems have their own specific, historically derived, terminology: a motorman and guard on one system can be an operator and conductor on another. Modal definitions can be confusing. What is clearly light rail by definition may be termed streetcar, semi-metro, or rapid transit in a specific city. It is recommended that in these cases local usage should prevail. AADT — annual average daily ATP — automatic train protection. AADT—accessibility, transit traffic; see traffic, annual average ATS — automatic train supervision; daily. automatic train stop system.

Respectively, accident rates, such as losing of balance, are increasing. Escalators and inclined moving walks are considered more hazardous than elevators, as the injuries per machine are significantly higher with escalators. For example, in 2007, the number of injuries per escalators were more than 20 times greater than with injuries per elevators in the USA. Falling accidents are e.g. due to velocity gradients: acceleration and deceleration. It has been estimated that approximately 2,5 % of escalator stops result in passenger fall. This thesis studies the effects of velocity gradients on the human body with elevator, escalator and moving walk applications. The study is a literature review where accident statistics, the most well-known vertical transportation safety standards and several balance studies are analyzed individually and compared with each other. ASME A17.1, EN 81-20, EN 115 and Japanese codes offer safety instructions and limitations on the effects of velocity gradients.

    SW Corridor Light Rail Project Marquam Hill Connector Green Ribbon Committee Meeting #2 Summary Wednesday, March 13, 2018, 4:00 – 6:00pm Vey Conference Center, OHSU Campus Committee Members in Attendance Fred Miller (Chair), Doug Kelsey, Skai Dancey, Todd Lofgren, Zari Santner, Councilor Bob Stacey, Jamey Duhamel, Anton Vetterlien, Chet Orloff, Don Stastny Absent: None Presenters: Carol Mayer-Reed & Shannon Simms (ZGF-VIA-Mayer/Reed Joint Venture) Public Comment Four people from the audience made comments: 1. A representative from the SWIRL transportation committee spoke in support of better transit between SW neighborhoods and OHSU. She encouraged realignment of N/S bus service to better serve destinations. 2. A local architect spoke. He worked on numerous projects around OHSU and was on the Design Commission during the process for the aerial tram. He talked about a previous proposal he had developed for a 2,000 car parking garage at the site of the current synagogue building. It would include a visitor center for Marquam Hill. He called the site a “solar plexus” and said that there would be high private interest in building this as a partnership with OHSU. 3. A member of the Friends of Terwilliger group spoke about the importance of the environmental regulations of the site. He encouraged information on that to be presented as soon as possible as it might limit the options. 4. A representative from the Homestead Neighborhood Association, and a member of the Working Group, spoke about his concern with building a “landmark.” He said that there could still be an “iconic experience” without the connection being a landmark.

  • Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs Michigan Elevator Rules 2010 Edition
    Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs Michigan Elevator Rules 2010 Edition Bureau of Construction Codes P.O. Box 30254 Lansing, Michigan 48909 www.michigan.gov/bcc INTRODUCTION Amendments to the Elevator Code Rules become effective July 11, 2014. The rules adopt by reference the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) safety code for elevators and escalators, ASME A17.1- 2010, the safety code standard for platform lifts and stairway chairlifts, ASME A18.1-2011, the safety code standard for inspection of elevator, escalators, and moving walks, ASME A17.2-2012, the safety code standard for belt manlifts, ASME A90.1-2009, and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) safety requirements for personnel hoists and employee elevators for construction and demolition operations, A10.4- 2007. This edition of the Michigan Elevator Rules has been denoted as the “2010 Edition”. The rule set takes exception to and amends portions of the 2010 Edition of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) A17.1 Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators. Since a considerable portion of the Michigan rules address our modifications to the 2010 ASME A17.1 standards, we felt it appropriate to designate this as the “2010 Edition.” It is our intent to continue this practice, and future editions of the Michigan Elevator Rules will refer to the edition of the ASME A17.1 which the rule set references. Vertical lines denote amendments and additions to easily identify changes from the previous edition. This rule set is published in chapters, i.e., Chapter 1 General Provisions; Chapter 2 All Elevators; Chapter 3 ASME A17.1 Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators Modifications; Chapter 4 ASME A18.1 Safety Standard for Platform Lifts and Stairway Chairlifts, Modifications, etc.
