  • 1 Republic of Kazakhstan Almaty Trolleybus Project
    OFFICIAL USE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN ALMATY TROLLEYBUS PROJECT FEASIBILITY AND DUE DILIGENCE STUDY TERMS OF REFERENCE 1. BACKGROUND The City of Almaty (the “City”) with population of 1.8 million is the country’s largest and most important business and financial centre, contributing around 25 per cent of the national GDP. As most of rapidly growing conglomerates, the city is experiencing deficit of convenient “green” public transportation aggravated by an increasing number of private cars. Almaty is the only city in Kazakhstan with trolleybus system. Current trolleybus fleet was purchased 10 years ago, and it is close to its full depreciation. Subsequently, the City approached the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (the “EBRD” or the “Bank”) to finance renewal of the trolleybus fleet through the purchase of 200 new hybrid trolleybuses and associated depot equipment (the “Project”). EBRD loan would be provided for the benefit of Almatyelectrotrans LLP (the “Company” or “AET”). The City sees the Project as an important measure to improve the environmental situation via expanding electric transport. The Project will allow the Company to improve passenger services by replacing the existing deteriorating fleet and providing vehicles for new lines, should the City decide to expand the trolleybus network. Better public transport services will prevent further modal shift from public transport to personal cars. The City’s public transport carries over 450 million passengers annually. The bulk of passenger traffic (86 per cent) is carried by buses operated by private and municipal companies. Trolleybuses account for 11 per cent of traffic, and the metro for 3 per cent.

  • The Influence of Passenger Load, Driving Cycle, Fuel Price and Different
    Transportation https://doi.org/10.1007/s11116-018-9925-0 The infuence of passenger load, driving cycle, fuel price and diferent types of buses on the cost of transport service in the BRT system in Curitiba, Brazil Dennis Dreier1 · Semida Silveira1 · Dilip Khatiwada1 · Keiko V. O. Fonseca2 · Rafael Nieweglowski3 · Renan Schepanski3 © The Author(s) 2018 Abstract This study analyses the infuence of passenger load, driving cycle, fuel price and four diferent types of buses on the cost of transport service for one bus rapid transit (BRT) route in Curitiba, Brazil. First, the energy use is estimated for diferent passenger loads and driving cycles for a conventional bi-articulated bus (ConvBi), a hybrid-electric two- axle bus (HybTw), a hybrid-electric articulated bus (HybAr) and a plug-in hybrid-electric two-axle bus (PlugTw). Then, the fuel cost and uncertainty are estimated considering the fuel price trends in the past. Based on this and additional cost data, replacement scenarios for the currently operated ConvBi feet are determined using a techno-economic optimisa- tion model. The lowest fuel cost ranges for the passenger load are estimated for PlugTw amounting to (0.198–0.289) USD/km, followed by (0.255–0.315) USD/km for HybTw, (0.298–0.375) USD/km for HybAr and (0.552–0.809) USD/km for ConvBi. In contrast, C the coefcient of variation ( v ) of the combined standard uncertainty is the highest for C PlugTw ( v : 15–17%) due to stronger sensitivity to varying bus driver behaviour, whereas C it is the least for ConvBi ( v : 8%).

  • SUBJECT: On-Time Performance Improvement Action Plan FROM
    SUBJECT: On-Time Performance Improvement Action Plan FROM: Christy Wegener, Director of Planning and Communications DATE: September 28, 2015 Action Requested None – Information only Background This staff report is an update of efforts to improve On-Time Performance (OTP) Discussion In April 2015, staff presented an OTP Action Plan to the Board (Attachment 1), which included an outline of actions to immediately improve OTP. Since that time, several adjustments have been made to route schedules and alignments, as well as improvements to the software that monitors OTP. 1) Fine tuning of software: Over the past five months, staff has worked to adjust the Transit Master software so that it more accurately records OTP. This has included adjusting the stop interval distances, re-geocoding stops, and adjusting the arrival and departure zones for each stop. This process typically takes several attempts in order to achieve the desired results. This involves inputting the data into the system, exporting it to the database, pushing it out to the buses, and finally analyzing the data over several days. 2) Improve the OTP of the Route 10 and the Rapid by 3%: Adjustments have been made to the Route 10 afternoon schedule to better time with the bell at Amador High School. Additional schedule adjustments were made to early morning trips as part of the February 2015 signup. However, achieving a 3% improvement in OTP has not been attained at this point. Improvement in OTP for these routes has been negligible. 3) Identify the top two worst performing routes (Route 3 and Route 54) and make adjustments to schedules to improve respective OTP by 10%.

  • Trolleybuses: Applicability of UN Regulation No
    Submitted by the expert from OICA Informal document GRSG-110-08-Rev.1 (110th GRSG, 26-29 April 2016, agenda item 2(a)) Trolleybuses: Applicability of UN Regulation No. 100 (Electric Power Train Vehicle) vs. UN Regulation No. 107 Annex 12 (Construction of M2/M3 Vehicles) for Electrical Safety 1. At 110th session of GRSG Belgium proposes to amend UN R107 annex 12 by deleting the requirements for trolleybuses (see GRSG/2016/05) and transfer the requirements into UN R100 (see GRSP/2016/07), which will be on the agenda of upcoming GRSP session in May 2016. 2. Due to the design of a trolleybus and stated in UN Regulation No. 107, trolleybuses are dual- mode vehicles. They can operate either: (a) in trolley mode, when connected to the overhead contact line (OCL), or (b) in bus mode when not connected to the OCL. When not connected to the OCL, they can also be (c) in charging mode, where they are stationary and plugged into the power grid for battery charging. 3. The basic principles of the design of the electric powertrain of the trolleybus and the connection to the OCL is based on international standards developed for trams and trains and is implemented and well accepted in the market worldwide. 4. Due to the fact that the trolleybus is used on public roads the trolleybus has to fulfil the regulations under the umbrella of the UNECE regulatory framework due to the existing national regulations (e.g. European frame work directive). 5. Therefore the annex 12 in UN R107 was amended to align the additional safety prescriptions for trolleybuses with the corresponding electrical standards.

  • Competitiveness of Trolleybus in Urban Transport
    Transactions on the Built Environment vol 52, © 2001 WIT Press, www.witpress.com, ISSN 1743-3509 Competitiveness of trolleybus in urban transport G. ~sten~o',R. ~ozzo~, M. ~alaverna~ & G. sciutto2 'Sciro S.r. l., Genova, Italy ZDepart?nentof Electrical Engineering, University of Genova, Italy Abstract In the search for alternative transportation modes in urban public transport, this paper suggests a comparison between the competitiveness of trolleybus and diesel bus transport modes. This evaluation is based on the relevant life-cycle costs, highlighting that trolleybus transport has a starting high charge of vehicles and wiring purchase as well as the disadvantage arising, in Italy, from the higher price of electric energy compared with diesel oil. Because of these factors, the trolleybus is less competitive than the diesel bus for the Italian urban centres although more friendly for the environment. In the last part of the paper, a case study shows that energy prices and car purchase have a negative influence on the present competitiveness of the trolleybus. 1 Introduction After the Second World War, advanced technology and oil low price encouraged the employment of the diesel bus instead of the trolleybus, which was penalised by its overhead contact line that could not meet the requirements of the quick traffic growth in urban centres. Most trolleybus networks were dismantled between the 60's and 70's. Today, the urgent need to reduce air and acoustic pollution in urban areas as well as a greater environmental awareness, also backed by governmental policies, bring about a renewed interest for the trolleybus. As to the drive development, trolleybus vehicles followed, during the years, the same evolution achieved in the field of light rail EMUS.
