ROLLING STOCK | PERWAY | INFRASTRUCTURE | SIGNALLING | OPERATORS | LOGISTICS ISSUE 1 // 2016 EDITOR’S COMMENT RAILWAYS AFRICA 1-2016 Luck Of The Irish A guy called Murphy has this well-known law: if anything can go wrong, it will. For instance, if a train from East London hits a cow early in January, damaging the locomotive, a 17-coach express heading for the coast with anything up to 1,200 passengers on-board won’t be able to get past. If the passenger train has already spent five hours in a heatwave at Burgersdorp, standing face-to-face with another train in the middle of nowhere, it will have run out of water and the toilets will be overflowing. Not all that far away, Murphy seems to have had his hands full, with a train from Port Elizabeth that was Photographed this in the municipal transport supposed to take 20 hours to Johannesburg. It was workshops at Seattle. battling with binding brakes, overflowing toilets and no water. In the end it was to take 33 hours to complete its journey. Attempts to contact Shosholoza Meyl offices were unsuccessful. Nobody answered (Murphy again). The train manager said there was nothing she could do. Eastern Cape area operations manager for Shosholoza Meyl, Nosipho Mancotywa wasn't aware of any complaints regarding the lack of water but she confirmed the lengthy delays with News24. Mancotywa said the signals were not working at Cradock because the electricity was off. Murphy can be a real devil where electricity is involved and he is a dab hand with cockroaches. -

Africa 2016 Latin America 2016 Latin America 2015-2016
In 2016 a large catch-up* in infrastructure investments is being confirmed by several Latin American countries, driven by the knowledge that economic growth relies heavily on quality infrastructure. The transport sector is going to firmly benefit from the expected increase in public and private funds. The continent being one of the most urbanized regions in the world, a large focus goes into urban rail projects: Mexico, Guatemala, Paraguay, Colombia, Chile, Brazil… are planning new projects for metro, light rail, high speed rail, monorail and passenger trains. One country is clearly taking the lead: Argentina. Besides boosting its investment climate and PPP laws, Argentina made public the ambitious 8-year 14.187 m USD investment in Buenos Aires` commuter network. Related key projects are the city`s RER and tunneling of the Sarmiento line. The Latin America Passenger Rail Expansion Summit will bring together local and international stakeholders, government officials, operators, developers, architects, consultants and equipment plus solution providers to discuss the current rail sector. *300.000 m USD is what Latam should be investing annually, versus the 150.000 m USD spent annually on infrastructure in the previous 20 years. http://latinamerica.railexpansionsummit.com OUTLOOK SOME OF THE TO BE INVITED DELEGATES Argentina foresees 14187 m USD ANPTrilhos INCOFER, Costa Rica Ministerio de Transporte y Comunicaciones, Peru 14187 investment in AFE Uruguay VLT Carioca Consortium Directorio de Transporte Público Metropolitano, Chile suburban network.

Asset Management in Rail Public Transport Sector and Industry 4.0 Technologies
Bruno Teixeira Cavalcante de Magalhães Daniel Machado dos Santos Débora Cristina Faria de Araújo Gustavo Henrique Lucas Jaquie ASSET MANAGEMENT IN RAIL PUBLIC TRANSPORT SECTOR AND INDUSTRY 4.0 TECHNOLOGIES Brasília, Brazil November 2020 Bruno Teixeira Cavalcante de Magalhães Daniel Machado dos Santos Débora Cristina Faria de Araújo Gustavo Henrique Lucas Jaquie A Final Educational Project Submitted to Deutsche Bahn AG in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Rail and Metro Rail Transportation Systems Management Certificate Program This Final Educational Project was prepared and approved under the direction of the DB Rail Academy, Mr. Marcus Braun. Brasilia, Brazil November 2020 ABSTRACT Industry 4.0 is the concept adopted to refer to new technologies that have been deeply impacting the entire industry, in practically all sectors. The development of technologies associated with the internet of things (IoT) and intelligent systems is driving the industry towards digital transformation. In this scenario, many possibilities arise for the rail public transport sector, mainly for Asset Management, considering that Asset Management represents a significant portion of the operator's efforts and costs to keep the commercial operation running. This work presents the traditional asset management concepts currently used in the public transport sector on rails, as well as some opportunities for using Industry 4.0 technologies in this sector. Then, a methodology for implementing these opportunities is proposed, with the agile methodology being suggested as an implementation strategy, considering a cost- benefit analysis, risk analysis, project plan, implementation plan and financial plan. It is expected that the ideas presented in this work can stimulate other sectors of the industry to move towards Industry 4.0, which is an inevitable trend and will certainly determine in the medium and long term who will survive in an increasingly competitive environment. -
Press Release
Press release 27 October 2011 Contract worth €325 million Alstom to supply line 2 of Los Teques metro in Venezuela « Consorcio Linea 2 »1 has awarded a contract globally worth €530 million to the Alstom-led consortium “Grupo de Empresas” to build the second line of Los Teques metro in Miranda State, Venezuela. The line, 12 km long and served by 6 stations, will enter service in October 2015. Alstom’s share of the contract is worth around €325 million. Alstom – which has a share of the consortium of over 60%, along with Colas Rail (22%) and Thales (17%) - will undertake the global coordination of the project, including engineering, integration and commissioning of the electromechanical works on a turnkey basis. In addition, the company will supply 22 metro trains of 6 cars each, medium voltage electrification, traction substations and part of the signalling equipment. The metro trains are from the Alstom’s standard Metropolis platform. Los Teques metro is a suburban mass-transit extension of the Caracas metro system (opening of the first line in 1983, 4 lines currently in commercial service, 600 cars supplied by Alstom). It has been designed to connect the Venezuelan capital to the city of Los Teques. The contract for the supply of the electromechanical system for the line 1 (9.5 km, 2 stations) was signed in October 2005 during a bilateral meeting between France and Venezuela in Paris. This line was inaugurated before the last Presidential elections in November 2006. Line 1 of Los Teques metro currently carries over 42,000 passengers per day. -
The Urban Rail Development Handbook
DEVELOPMENT THE “ The Urban Rail Development Handbook offers both planners and political decision makers a comprehensive view of one of the largest, if not the largest, investment a city can undertake: an urban rail system. The handbook properly recognizes that urban rail is only one part of a hierarchically integrated transport system, and it provides practical guidance on how urban rail projects can be implemented and operated RAIL URBAN THE URBAN RAIL in a multimodal way that maximizes benefits far beyond mobility. The handbook is a must-read for any person involved in the planning and decision making for an urban rail line.” —Arturo Ardila-Gómez, Global Lead, Urban Mobility and Lead Transport Economist, World Bank DEVELOPMENT “ The Urban Rail Development Handbook tackles the social and technical challenges of planning, designing, financing, procuring, constructing, and operating rail projects in urban areas. It is a great complement HANDBOOK to more technical publications on rail technology, infrastructure, and project delivery. This handbook provides practical advice for delivering urban megaprojects, taking account of their social, institutional, and economic context.” —Martha Lawrence, Lead, Railway Community of Practice and Senior Railway Specialist, World Bank HANDBOOK “ Among the many options a city can consider to improve access to opportunities and mobility, urban rail stands out by its potential impact, as well as its high cost. Getting it right is a complex and multifaceted challenge that this handbook addresses beautifully through an in-depth and practical sharing of hard lessons learned in planning, implementing, and operating such urban rail lines, while ensuring their transformational role for urban development.” —Gerald Ollivier, Lead, Transit-Oriented Development Community of Practice, World Bank “ Public transport, as the backbone of mobility in cities, supports more inclusive communities, economic development, higher standards of living and health, and active lifestyles of inhabitants, while improving air quality and liveability. -
