Abstract The purpose of this report is to provide information on a selection of bus transit security measures for use by transit systems in developing their security programs. The report examines the security measures used by the principal bus trans- it system s in each of four cities -- Los Angeles, Detroit, Seattle, and Pittsburgh -- and indicates the conditions under which they are most likely to be effective. Certain transit security measures are common to all four transit systems. All make some use of either a transit police force, or members of a local law enforement agency. They also all use communications equipment installed in buses, and community programs or school programs. However, there are unique aspects to each city's program. Detroit has an undercover police operation which has been used as a model by many other cities. Los Angeles has several demonstration projects using sophisti- cated security equipment. Seattle has a stress-management program for its bus operators. Pittsburgh's system has a small police force which emphasizes a quick response to passengers' and operators' reports of problems as a means of heightening the deterrent effort. The report includes the following sections: an introduction to the problem of transit crime and the security measures taken to combat it; transit security programs in the four case study cities; a comparison of me~hods used to police bus transit systems; the surveillance and communications equipment used by the four transit systems; school and community education programs and training of operators; the comparative costs of security measures; the public's perception of transit mrime; and the study's conclusion on the effectiveness of the measures. 17.

  • An Examination of Vehicle Fires According to Scaling Rules
    International Journal on Engineering Performance-Based Fire Codes, Volume 9, Number 3, p.111-117, 2007 AN EXAMINATION OF VEHICLE FIRES ACCORDING TO SCALING RULES J.C. Jones, T. Noonan and M.C. Riordan School of Engineering, University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen AB24 3UE, UK (Received 11 July 2008; Accepted 18 December 2008) ABSTRACT Die-cast model vehicles of various scales have been burnt and heat-release rates deduced from temperature measurements. Scaling factors from the models to full size vehicles have been determined. 1. INTRODUCTION develop such rules for vehicles by burning scale models and taking temperature measurements. A Vehicular fires have been studied in a number of preliminary note [4] was put out after the earliest ways [1,2] including the measurement of heat- results had been obtained. Herein we give a full release rates of whole vehicles ignited in a large account of the programme, starting with the related calorimeter. Such experiments on motor cars have theory. peak heat-release rates of the order of 3000 kW (3 MW). Equivalent information for other sorts of vehicle – buses, trucks, motor cycles – is fairly 2. THEORY scarce. Fig. 1, reproduced from [3], is a generalised form As the present author has recently pointed out of a heat-release history for a burning car from elsewhere [3], such heat-release rates are obviously experiments of the type which were described in sufficient for flashover but if the vehicle which is the previous section. The maximum varies from on fire is out of doors there is nothing for it to flash one sort of car to another and can be as high as 8 over to.

  • Large Data Set About Bus Accidents
    Transmitted by the expert Informal doc. No. GRSG-109- of Hungary 109th GRSG, 28. Sept. - 2. Oct. 2015 Agenda item:2 BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO STATISTICAL STUDY OF BUS ACCIDENTS (Are the buses safe, or not?) This paper is not a proposal for detailed discussion, its aim is to present a method, a tool to get reliable, statistical evidences when discussing different safety issues of buses for developing existing UN-ECE regulations or work- ing out new ones. INTRODUCTION The collection and evaluation of road vehicle accidents has a long history on national and international level. The conclusions drawn from the accident information are useful to: improve the traffic safety policy, the traffic rules determine the development of road systems and road construction improve the national and international vehicle safety regulations Dealing with bus safety, it is important to have real, reliable bus accident information. Although road ac- cident statistics are published year by year, overall bus accident statistics are not available. One of the main reasons of this lack is the very low ratio of the bus accidents among whole road accidents. (It may be said that the number of bus accidents is almost negligible compared to the total number of road accidents). For lack of reliable bus accident information it is easy to accept and insist that buses are safe. Table I.

  • Del8 Stimulation of Collective Transport Modes
    STIMULATION OF COLLECTIVE TRANSPORT MODES Deliverable 8 of the Success Project Authors: Andrew Varley (Lancashire County Council, LCC) Matthieu Aubineau (Urban Community of La Rochelle, CdA-LR) Mihaela Lamandi (Primaria Municipiului Ploiesti, PMP) Editor: Anna Trentini (Ecole d’Ingénieurs de Génie des Systèmes Industriels, EIGSI) Version 12, October 2009 FOREWORD Jean YATES, Emil CALOTA, Denis LEROY As senior political representatives of the SUCCESS cities we have been personally involved in the project from its beginnings as a Proposal submitted to the CIVITAS Programme in 2004. We have been honoured to take part in the second phase of CIVITAS and we have been pleased to see how well the plans have been implemented in our cities and how our citizens have benefited. The rich cooperation that has been the hallmark of SUCCESS, both between the cities and between local partners in each city, has resulted in greater understanding and mutual respect between different organisations and different cultures. This will have long-lasting effects that will benefit all who have been involved in the project. We have been pleased to cooperate with the European Commission and the wider CIVITAS family, and have contributed to the CIVITAS Political Advisory Committee. We trust that this document will provide useful lessons for others considering the adoption of measures similar to those that we implemented in the SUCCESS project.
