GMT Report2012.Qxp
GLOBAL METRO PROJECTS REPORT 2012 Metropolitan railways (metros) are high capacity electric transport systems that operate on dedicated routes, and can thereby achieve high service speed and frequency. Over the last few years, metros (also known as subway, underground or tube) have evolved as an efficient and effective urban mobility solution in addressing the growing concerns of urbanisation and climate change. This is supported by the fact that despite high capital requirements the sector witnessed a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7 per cent between 2005 and 2010. In high density urban areas, metros form the backbone of integrated public transport systems and offer proven economic, social and environmental benefits. Given the huge investment requirement and long life span, metro systems have always been a driving force for technological and financial innovations. Government and metro operators are constantly seeking solutions to improve reliability and customer service, lower fuel and maintenance costs, as well as increase efficiency and safety levels in operations. The Global Metro Projects Report provides updated information on the world's top 101 metro projects that present significant capital investment opportunities. These projects have a total existing network length of about 8,900 km and a proposed length of over 8,000 km. The report covers 51 countries representing about 80 per cent of the world’s gross domestic product. It presents the key information required to assess investment opportunities in the development of new lines, extension and upgrade of existing lines, rolling stock procurement and refurbishment, power and communication systems upgrades, fare collection, as well as station construction and refurbishment. -
Chapter VI BANKING, TRADE and COMMERCE
Chapter VI BANKING, TRADE AND COMMERCE INDIG ENOU S BA NKING Indigenous banking, as elsewhere, is done by individual bankers in towns and money-lenders (sahukars) in villages. The former receive de - posits , deal in hundis and also finance trade and industry against the security of goods. They are quite particular about the purpose s for which they advance lo ans . The money-lenders in villages mainly finance con sumption . Despite thi s difference, their operations are very similar . Functioning in an un- organised manner , they have adapted themselves to the customs, habits and needs of their local clients . Their business, being hereditary, is often carried on as a family concern. They generally rely on their own resources and, if necessary, borrow money from one another and even from joint-stock banks by re-discounting hundis. As the banks impose rigid conditions , these indigenous agencies do not often resort to them . The bazaar hundis rate (i .e. the rate at which indigenous bankers discount hundis) is invariably different from the bank rate. The village economy being traditionally controlled by the sahukar, the poor peasantry was at his mercy for all their financial needs. As a shopkeeper the sahukar preferred to have a lien on the agricultural produce . He could in this way profit twice, once by buying cheaply from the producer to whom he had lent money , and then by selling it at a higher rate to indi- vidual consumers or in a mandi . After 1870, when land became a profitable investment, the sahukar began to tighten his financial hold in such a way as eventually to oust the rural debtors from their lands. -
TIGER II Urban Circulator Impact Assessment
REPORT SUMMARY TIGER II Urban Circulator Impact Assessment Background Through the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grant program, the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) has invested substantial resources to fund streetcar projects in major urban areas. The TIGER grant program awarded about 6% of the $5.1 billion grant funds to streetcar projects. A review of grant applications shows that the evaluation criteria and final selection of the projects considered short- and long-term economic development objectives. The belief is that shovel-ready projects can stimulate short-term job growth through construction multiplier effects, and long-term growth can be realized if new businesses locate in proximity to streetcar stations or if existing businesses increase their gross sales and employment levels. Streetcar and urban circulator projects funded through TIGER grants and other USDOT programs provide a unique opportunity to assess the impact of streetcar systems on the built environment, the impact on economic development, and policies that lead to and result from projects of this type. Objective The objective of this study was to determine whether federal investments in urban circulator projects have a significant impact in creating, supporting, or preserving jobs, spurring local business growth, and increasing transportation accessibility among certain households. The urban circulator projects studied include the Cincinnati Bell Connector, Charlotte CityLYNX Gold Line, Sun Link Tucson Streetcar, Atlanta Streetcar, and Salt Lake Sugar House Streetcar. The results of this research will serve to inform policymakers about the extent to which streetcar investments support USDOT strategic goals. This objective is achieved via thorough documentation of each selected case study and a research design that allows assessing and measuring impacts consistently across a selected number of case studies. -

Experience of European and Moscow Metro Systems
EU AND ITS NEIGHBOURHOOD: ENHANCING EU ACTORNESS IN THE EASTERN BORDERLANDS • EURINT 2020 | 303 DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION OF TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE: EXPERIENCE OF EUROPEAN AND MOSCOW METRO SYSTEMS Anton DENISENKOV*, Natalya DENISENKOVA**, Yuliya POLYAKOVA*** Abstract The article is devoted to the consideration of the digital transformation processes of the world's metro systems based on Industry 4.0 technologies. The aim of the study is to determine the social, economic and technological effects of the use of digital technologies on transport on the example of the metro, as well as to find solutions to digitalization problems in modern conditions of limited resources. The authors examined the impact of the key technologies of Industry 4.0 on the business processes of the world's subways. A comparative analysis of the world's metros digital transformations has been carried out, a tree of world's metros digitalization problems has been built, a reference model for the implementation of world's metros digital transformation is proposed. As the results of the study, the authors were able to determine the social, economic and technological effects of metro digitalization. Keywords: Industry 4.0 technologies, digital transformation, transport, metro Introduction The coming era of the digital economy requires a revision of business models, methods of production in all spheres of human life in order to maintain competitive advantages in the world arena. The transport industry is no exception, as it plays an important role in the development of the country's economy and social sphere. The Metro is a complex engineering and technical transport enterprise, dynamically developing taking into account the prospects for expanding the city's borders, with an ever-increasing passenger traffic and integration into other public transport systems.
