    Media Release a First for Stadler: Trams for the Czech Republic

    HOLD -BACK Media release PERIOD 18. Januar 2017 PAGES 3 ATTACHMENTS 1 image Bussnang, Ostrava, 18 January 2017 A first for Stadler: trams for the Czech Republic Stadler won the tender to develop and build 40 trams for the Dopravní podnik Ostrava a.s. (DPO) operating company in Ostrava. The order is worth a total of approximately CHF 45 million. The Ostrava trams are being planned and constructed by Stadler Prague. Stadler will work closely with Czech suppliers. This is the first time that Stadler has received an order for trams from the Czech Republic. Daniel Morys, Executive Director of Dopravní podnik Ostrava a.s., and Peter Jenelten, Executive Vice President Marketing & Sales at Stadler, signed the contract for the delivery of 40 adapted Tango trams. The contract between DPO and Stadler covers the delivery of 30 + 10 2-car low-floor uni-directional trams for normal gauges. The order is worth a total of approximately CHF 45 million. The trams are based on the tried- and-tested Tango design, but have been tailored to DPO requirements in Ostrava with low-floor technology and other customised adaptations to fit their unique intended purpose. Stadler Praha is overseeing project planning and engineering. Signing the contract in Ostrava, Executive Director Daniel Morys emphasised the importance of the project: “I am very satisfied with the course of this public contract, and I believe that the Swiss quality of the new trams in Ostrava will bring higher comfort for travelling, which we really request, and our passengers will be happy about the new trams.” Peter Jenelten, Executive Vice President Marketing & Sales at Stadler, added: “We are proud to be able to deliver the first trams to the Czech Republic, and we are looking forward to providing passengers in Ostrava with a very high degree of comfort and a thoroughly pleasant ride.

    Gender and Computer Games/Video Games

    Gender and Computer Games/ Video Games Girls’ Perspective Orientation Authors: Yan Jingjing Subject: Master Thesis in Business Administration 15 ECTS Program: Master of International Management Gotland University Spring semester 2010 Supervisor: Bo Lennstrand Abstract The topic of this thesis is “Gender Differences in Computer games/ Video games Industry”. Due to rapid development in technology and popularization of computers all around the world, computer games have already become a kind of common entertainment. Because computer games were designed especially for boys at the very beginning, there are still some remaining barriers when training female game designers and expanding game markets among female players. This thesis is mainly based on two studies which have enormous contributions to gender issue in computer games area. A simple model is established by summarizing factors mentioned and discussed in those two books. The main purpose consists of two comparisons under Gender Differences: one comparison is between the current data with the previous one, in order to check whether there are any changes during the past 10 years. The other one compares the young people in two regions, Sweden and China, in computer games perspective. Model designing, test, questionnaire and interview methods are used in this paper aiming to collect and categorize the data, which facilitates to analyze the results of the comparisons. The results reflect that although computer becomes a familiar “friend” in modern daily life, there are not obvious changes of girls‟ perspectives in computer game industry. Certainly, there are some differences between the young people coming from two regions which will be expounded in the thesis.

    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.

    Stadler Sells Gauge Changing Facility for the City of Akhalkalaki in Georgia

    Media release HOLD-BACK PERIOD 6 June 2018 DOCUMENT 2 pages ENCLOSURES None Bussnang, 6 June 2018 Stadler sells gauge changing facility for the city of Akhalkalaki in Georgia Stadler today signed a contract in Bussnang with the Georgian company Marabda-Kartsakhi-Railway LCC for the delivery of a gauge changing facility. The system will be installed in the Georgian city of Akhalkalaki near the border with Turkey and will form part of the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars Railway, which links the countries of Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey. Special tracks need to be fitted over a distance of 30 metres to enable trains to switch from the European standard gauge to the broad gauge used in the countries of the former Soviet Union. The gauge changing facility is suitable for rail vehicles with DB AG/Rafil Type V wheelsets produced by Bochumer Verein Verkehrstechnik GmbH in Ilsenburg. This technology was authorised by the German Federal Railway Authority (EBA) in 2006. In 2014 Stadler received an order for the delivery of 30 sleeper and dining cars from Azerbaijan national railways (ADY). These cars are intended for use on the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars-Istanbul route and are therefore equipped with DB AG/Rafil Type V wheelsets. Installing this gauge changing facility is the only way to allow completion of the journey from Baku to Istanbul without interruption. Regular services are scheduled to start in the summer of 2019.

Specifically, 1,204,000 is approximately the number of boardings per contract area a winter's day in Stockholm. Since the capacity and frequency of the metro service are already quite good in this city, this thesis does not focus on improve that. Its aim is to know the assessment made by metro users of the crowding produced during rush hour. This evaluation is performed by two questionnaires, one shorter that is carried out on board and one longer, online. But before starting with the surveys, this work introduces some general information about public transport in Stockholm and it distinguishes capacity and crowding concepts. Any human behavior begins with the attitudes and perceptions that people show to any particular aspect, from which and through their preferences, they define their behavior acting in one way or another. And once they have made their decision and have chosen to use a service, they will be able to evaluate it by their satisfaction level.
