    Can Public Transit Revitalize Detroit? the Qline and the People Mover”

    “Can Public Transit Revitalize Detroit? The QLine and the People Mover” John B. Sutcliffe, Sarah Cipkar and Geoffrey Alchin Department of Political Science, University of Windsor Windsor, Ontario, N9B 3P4 Email: [email protected] Paper prepared for presentation at the Canadian Political Science Association Annual Conference, Vancouver, BC. June 2019. This is a working draft. Please do not cite without permission. 1 “Can Public Transit Revitalize Detroit? The QLine and the People Mover" Introduction On May 12, 2017 a new streetcar – the QLine – began operating in Detroit, running along a 3.3- mile (6.6-mile return) route on Woodward Avenue, one of the central north-south roads in the city. This project is one example of the return to prominence of streetcars in the (re)development of American cities. Having fallen into disuse and abandonment in hundreds of American cities during the early part of the 20th century, this form of public transit has returned in many cities including, for example, Dallas, Cincinnati, Kansas City, and Portland. As streetcar services have returned to prominence, so too has the debate about their utility as a form of public transit, the function they serve in a city, and who they serve (Brown 2013; Culver 2017). These debates are evident in the case of Detroit. Proponents of the QLine – most prominently the individuals and organizations that advocated for its creation and provided the majority of the start-up capital – have praised the streetcar for acting as a spur to development, for being a forward-thinking transit system and for acting as a first step towards a comprehensive regional transit system in Metro Detroit (see M-1 Rail 2018).

INTRODUCTION DEFINATION AND MEANING Inventory is a list of goods and materials, or those goods and materials themselves, held available in stock by a business. Inventory are held in order to manage and hide from the customer the fact that manufacture/supply delay is longer than delivery delay, and also to ease the effect of imperfections in the manufacturing process that lower production efficiencies if production capacity stands idle for lack of materials. The reasons for keeping stock All these stock reasons can apply to any owner or product stage. Buffer stock is held in individual workstations against the possibility that the upstream workstation may be a little delayed in providing the next item for processing. Whilst some processes carry very large buffer stocks, Toyota moved to one (or a few items) and has now moved to eliminate this stock type. Safety stock is held against process or machine failure in the hope/belief that the failure can be repaired before the stock runs out. This type of stock can be eliminated by programmes like Total Productive Maintenance Overproduction is held because the forecast and the actual sales did not match.

    Energy Saving Strategies in Diesel Railcars

    POLITECNICO DI TORINO Collegio di Ingegneria Energetica Corso di Laurea Magistrale in Ingegneria Energetica e Nucleare Tesi di Laurea Magistrale Energy saving strategies in diesel railcars Relatore: Prof. N. Bosso Co-relatore: Ing. N. Zampieri Tutor aziendale: Ing. A. Tosetto Ing. D. Gerardi Candidato Giuseppe Boccardo Matricola: 221059 Aprile 2018 1 ABSTRACT This thesis aims to analyze different energy recovery strategies available on an existing Diesel Multiple Units (DMU) railway vehicle, developed by Blue-Group, in order to improve its efficiency and environmental impact. Since the vehicle makes available three different energy recovery opportunities that include exhaust gas or cooling water heat recovery as well as regenerative braking, firstly a pre-feasibility study has been conducted in order to identify the most feasible and effective energy recovery opportunity among those available. Exhaust gas heat recovery for power production has been briefly analyzed but it resulted in low efficiency (11%) of the process and high complexity of integration in the existing vehicle and, thus, no further investigated. Exhaust gas heat recovery for hot water production has been analyzed also, resulting in high efficiency of the process but still too complex to be integrated into the existing vehicle since it requires a substantial modification of the vehicle layout and electrical system. Cooling water heat recovery combined with Organic Ranking Cycle (ORC) for power production highlights low cycle efficiency (13%) and very low energy production (5% of the total energy demand) and, therefore, it has been not further investigated. Once regenerative braking has been individuated as the most promising energy recovery strategy, the second part of the thesis is focused on sizing, design and modeling the onboard battery pack capable of harvesting braking energy of the vehicle, making it electrically propelled when it is necessary.

    Siemens AG Governance & Markets Investor Relations GM IR 2 Werner-Von-Siemens-Str

    Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, We are very thankful for the possibility to introduce our viewpoints in the dialogue you have invited us to participate in. As a German Issuer, we are predominantly speaking for the German market with its highly developed and specific standards regarding share issuance request proposals. From our market perception, there is no particular need to reduce the applicable limit for general share issuances without preemptive rights from 20 percent to 10 percent in Germany, as there are no cases known to us where issuers have abused their authorizations to the disadvantage of their shareholders. As a general rule, issuers in Germany rely on § 186 para. 3 sentence 4 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG), where there is a clear legal limit of 10 percent for cash capital increases without preemptive rights. Should the existing, well balanced system be additionally burdened by different rules in the European Policy, there will be mismatches between the 10 percent proposed by ISS and the 10 percent as stated in the law, not least due to the fact that most issuers have various authorizations for different types of Authorized Capital and Conditional Capital (in Germany primarily used for the issuance of convertible and warrant bonds) in place that customarily are not proposed in one AGM but in different AGMs with different authorization periods applicable as a result. One example may highlight this: in 2015 we exchanged bond with warrant units issued in 2012 under an authorization of 2010 in order to substitute warrants relating to Siemens and Osram shares with new warrants exclusively relating to Siemens shares under an authorization of 2015.
