Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) Fact Sheet February 2016
Oasis Rail Transit Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) Fact Sheet February 2016 Approximately 17 miles in length, the proposed Oasis Rail Transit corridor extends between downtown Cincinnati and the City of Milford and would initially be served by seven stations. In addition to providing a new rail-based regional transportation option serving Eastern Corridor communities, the Oasis line would also offer new opportunities for community enhancement and development. PREFERRED RAIL VEHICLE TYPE: DMU One of the most prominent features considered for the Oasis line is the actual rail vehicle (or train) that would transport passengers to their destinations. Early studies completed for the Eastern Corridor Program recommended that self-propelled passenger coaches be considered as the preferred rail vehicle type. Further studies explored in more detail the technologies available for the line including: • Diesel-powered locomotives pulling single or bi-level passenger coaches • Electrically-powered streetcar-type vehicles • Electrically-powered light rail vehicles call Electric Multiple Units (EMU/LRT) • Diesel-powered passenger cars (Diesel Multiple Units or DMUs) The results of those studies confirmed that diesel-powered passenger cars, or DMUs, would be the most appropriate technology for the Oasis Rail Transit line. Features of DMUs that made it stand out beyond other rail vehicle choices included: • DMUs are flexible in terms of operational capabilities and can efficiently serve the 17-mile Oasis corridor – which is too short for traditional “push-pull” locomotives and coach cars but More information about rail generally too long for streetcar-type vehicles – and efficiently vehicles is available in the Oasis manage the spacing between stations. -

C for a separate locomotive. Although various designs of ORNILLIE vehicles powered by steam- and gasoline-fueled engines came into service starting in the 1890s, “diesel multiple unit” (DMU) emerged as a term-of-art in the late 1930s to describe vehicles that could operate as single cars or be combined to form a longer train. For the past 60 years, the rail diesel car (RDC) has epit- omized DMU technology in North America. The Budd Company of Philadelphia built nearly 400 RDCs between 1949 and 1962. These cars quickly gained a reputation for The Denton County Transportation Authority operates DMU vehicles between Denton, Texas, and a connection with the reliability, for adaptability to a range of services, and for Dallas Area Rapid Transit System at Carrolton.

First, edge conditions discussed. Then, the drivetrain’s potentials and drawbacks such as drivers and roadblocks for the implementation of in terms of technical, economical and operational aspects alternative propulsions in railway vehicles are discussed. For are briefly addressed with a particular focus on battery operations on a non-electrified railway route, the required electric multiple units (BEMU) and fuel cell multiple units main propulsion components of a battery electric multiple unit and of a fuel cell multiple unit are roughly dimensioned (FCMU). and economically compared with a benchmark diesel In the subsequent case study, the drivetrains of a multiple unit, the BR 612 of Deutsche Bahn. The non- BEMU and a FCMU are roughly designed and electrified route from Ulm to Oberstdorf was considered as a economically evaluated against a conventional diesel reference route for the simulation and drivetrain layout.

Applying Life Cycle Assessment to Analyze the Environmental Sustainability of Public Transit Modes for the City of Toronto
Applying life cycle assessment to analyze the environmental sustainability of public transit modes for the City of Toronto by Ashton Ruby Taylor A thesis submitted to the Department of Geography & Planning in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada September, 2016 Copyright © Ashton Ruby Taylor, 2016 Abstract One challenge related to transit planning is selecting the appropriate mode: bus, light rail transit (LRT), regional express rail (RER), or subway. This project uses data from life cycle assessment to develop a tool to measure energy requirements for different modes of transit, on a per passenger-kilometer basis. For each of the four transit modes listed, a range of energy requirements associated with different vehicle models and manufacturers was developed. The tool demonstrated that there are distinct ranges where specific transit modes are the best choice. Diesel buses are the clear best choice from 7-51 passengers, LRTs make the most sense from 201-427 passengers, and subways are the best choice above 918 passengers. There are a number of other passenger loading ranges where more than one transit mode makes sense; in particular, LRT and RER represent very energy-efficient options for ridership ranging from 200 to 900 passengers. The tool developed in the thesis was used to analyze the Bloor-Danforth subway line in Toronto using estimated ridership for weekday morning peak hours. It was found that ridership across the line is for the most part actually insufficient to justify subways over LRTs or RER. This suggests that extensions to the existing Bloor-Danforth line should consider LRT options, which could service the passenger loads at the ends of the line with far greater energy efficiency. -

IT’S JAM TOMORROW (WITH TOMORROW BEING 2022 ONWARD) SAYS THE WELSH GOVERNMENT KeloisAmey “win” the Wales and Border franchise contract After waiting nearly 15 years for some common sense to be injected into the railways of Wales and the Borders, we finally got to find out the culmination of the Welsh Government’s secretive procurement process for the franchise to replace Arriva Trains Wales much maligned operation on Monday 4th June. If you want to read the waffle about how great it all is and what jolly good chaps the Welsh Government and KeolisAmey are, then the official press releases and Ministerial Statements can be found online.
