  • These Improvement Measures, However, Will Not Fundamentally Improve Future Traffic Congestion. Hence, the MMUTIS Proposes Two New Major Access Roads to Terminal 3
    MMUTIS Final Report These improvement measures, however, will not fundamentally improve future traffic congestion. Hence, the MMUTIS proposes two new major access roads to Terminal 3. The first proposal will provide a new interchange from the Skyway to Sales Road. The interchange has to shift slightly from the exact location of the Nichols Interchange, but contained on Sales Road as an elevated structure. This facility will connect Terminal 3 directly with the Skyway, which serves SLE near Magallanes Interchange and Pasay Road or Buendia Avenue over the Magallanes Interchange. The second proposal is an underground tunnel from C-5 South Section to Andrews Avenue to go under the main runway. Although it needs very sensitive construction technologies, it is a technically possible alternative. This facility will directly connect Terminal 3 with C-5, which serves Roxas Boulevard southbound and C-5 northbound. Table 10.18 Airport Access Improvement Projects Project Cost Project Name Length (P million) Tramo Road-Andrews Avenue Left-turning Flyover --- 120 Nichols Interchange Improvements --- 135 Alternative 1) Skyway New Airport Interchange 1.3 km 1,893 Alternative 2) Andrews Ave. Extension (underground link) 1.3 km 6,146 1) 2,148 Total 2) 6,400 Due to the cost, the better alternative would be the Skyway Interchange, while the second proposal can be for future consideration. 10.4 Proposed Public Transport Projects 1) MRT Integration This project intends to improve the integration of Lines 1 and 3 and a possible Line 6 at the Baclaran-Pasay Rotonda area. The current plan, which terminates Line 3 at Taft/EDSA Station at-grade, would create serious traffic problem in the area and restrict the opportunity to serve the reclamation area.

  • 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.

  • Technological Evolution of Manila Light Rail Transit System
    International Journal of Advanced Science and Technology Vol.89 (2016), pp.9-16 http://dx.doi.org/10.14257/ijast.2016.89.02 Technological Evolution of Manila Light Rail Transit System Tomas U. Ganiron Jr IAENG, Hongkong College of Architecture, Qassim University, Buraidah City [email protected] Abstract This study focuses on the different elements of Manila Light Rail Transit System Line 1 in Metro Manila with the aim of characterizing its technological evolution and putting in context its impact in terms of what it is best designed for and what it can deliver. The study provides the concept of understanding the recent operation and developmental resolutions that the management of LRTA line 1 is providing as a preparation to uplift the socio-economic conditions of the commuters. Through the application of technology and scientific principles by means of transportation engineering for managing the facilities of the LRTA line 1 system, the system can provide safer, more rapid, more convenient, economic and environmental friendly way of transportation for the increasing demand of commuters. However, LRT 1 is best designed to substitute conventional railway services on routes where much higher capacity is required and to reduce travel time, further improving the railway service, also against other modes, therefore leading to mode substitution. Keywords: Highway engineering, railway transit, road engineering, transportation engineering 1. Introduction The traffic jams in Manila are staggering. Only a few traffic lights often disregarded separate the combatants. Every one force his way across the junctions, thus blocking everyone else and so the government decided to find a solution.
