Metrocable in Medellin, Colombia The Medellin Project in Colombia Philippe Adrien Export Director Pomagalski SA Page – 13.1 Abstract: The Medellin Project in Colombia Philippe Adrien1) The municipal council of Medellin has chosen the gondola lift solution to connect the hillside district of Santo Domingo to the city's overground metro network. The MetroCable project, as it is called, is jointly funded by the city and the mass transit company, Metro Medellin. The system is an ARIANA 8-10 gondola lift from the SATELLIT range, equipped with aluminum DIAMOND gondolas made by SIGMA. The line is scheduled to run 18 hours/day, all year round. It is 2 km long, with a vertical rise of 400 meters, three sections and four terminals, including two intermediate stations, the first of which includes a 15° turn. Ground on which the lift is built calls for extremely deep anchoring for the single-shaft towers, each of which rests on four piles, with a diameter of 2 m, driven down to a depth of 8 meters. 1 Export Director, Pomagalski SA, 109 rue Aristide Beregs, BP 47, Voreppe Cedex, F-38341, 33 4 7628 7146, Fax 33 6 7399 5702, [email protected] Page – 13.2 A New Application of the Aerial Ropeway Transportation Technology METROCABLE in MEDELLIN - COLOMBIA Philippe ADRIEN1 A. PRESENTATION: 1. MEDELLIN: a. Located at an altitude of 1,200 m, Medellin is COLOMBIA second largest city and a major economic center of this country of 50 million people. b. MEDELLIN is famous for its coffee its clothes manufacturing along with an important role played in the fashion business. The city also hosts some large foreign companies such as car manufacturer Renault which activities cover the whole Andes Community of Nations (CAN). c. The city is located along a river and stretches for 25 km from North to South surrounded by high crests some 800 meters. d. In order to cope with this specific mountainous environment of the city some important infrastructures have been realized lately. Most of • The Metro Medellin network after the them are dedicated to traffic completion of the cable car extension and urban infrastructure improvement. 2. METRO MEDELLIN: a. The mass transportation system is an over-ground metro linking various places and suburbs along 3 main lines. b. The Metro counts 30 km of tracks, some 25 stations. c. It is supported by the City of MEDELLIN and the Government of COLUMBIA since it is considered as a very important tool of social development. 1 Export Director, POMA, BP 47 F-38341 VOREPPE Cedex, T: 33-0476287146, Fax: 33-0476287191 E-mail : [email protected] Page – 13.3 3. HISTORY of the PROJECT: a. One of the major problems the Metro has to face is the lack of passenger traffic at its northern part of the network. Populations in these areas are poor and leave in typical “barrios”. They prefer to use traditional means of transportation such as taxis and small buses, only capable to cope with the narrow and tortuous streets. In addition, ground profile does not allow using any traditional and viable solution to reach potential clients. b. This is why the Municipal council of MEDELLIN has chosen the gondola lift solution to connect the hillside district of Santo Domingo to the City Metro Network. The MetroCable project, as it is called, is co- funded by the City and the mass transit company, Metro Medellin. The contract was signed with POMA on March 31st, 2003 for the supply of an ARIANA 6-10 gondola lift from the SATELLIT range, equipped with aluminum DIAMOND gondolas made by SIGMA. With a ceiling height of 2.10 m, each of the 93 gondolas has room for 8 seated or 10 standing passengers, and includes a radio and battery-solar powered lighting for nighttime operation. The line is scheduled to run 18 hours/day, all year round. It is 2 km long, with a vertical rise of 400 meters, 3 sections, 4 terminals, and 2 intermediate stations, the first of which includes a 15° angle. 4. THE SANTO DOMINGO AREA: Located in the SANTO DOMINGO built-up area, construction of the lift required the issue of a number of compulsory purchase orders on various properties. In addition, the ground on which the lift is Page – 13.4 built calls for extremely deep anchoring for the single-shaft towers, each of which rests on 4 piles, with a diameter of 2 m, driven down to a depth of 8 meters. Three companies have formed a Joint Venture to complete the project: • POMA to supply the lift, the supervision of erection and necessary training for maintenance and technical operation. • CONCONCRETO for all civil works. • TERMOTECNICA for the erection and supply of local fabrication (structure, roofing…). B. LIFT MAIN TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS: The line is scheduled to operate 18 hours/day, 365 days/year. Even though there is no specific requirement by Metro Medellin for POMA to guarantee a minimum availability, the lift has been designed so that it is capable to remain operable in case of a problem in the drive machinery. 2 electric motors in tandem configuration are ensuring the maximum service (base/degraded). The maintenance has also been rescheduled to fit with the large number of hours the lift is expected to operate every year. The lift consists in: 1. Mechanical Equipment: o 4 stations, single loop, single drive located at the lower terminal o Tensioning located at upper terminal o Garage for the 93 cabins located at lower terminal o Length: 2,000 m 6,000 ft o Vertical rise 4,000 m 1,320 ft o Number of stations 4 o Capacity (base/degraded): 3,000 pph / 1,500 pph o Rope diameter: 51 mm 2” o Angle at the level of station Nr. 1: 15° o Number of cabins: 93 o Type of cabins: DIAMOND 8/10, 2.10 m ceiling height o Installed power: 2 x 455 kW o Volume of concrete in civil works: 17,000 m3 o Rope speed (base/degraded) 5 m/s / 2.5 m/s Page – 13.5 o Power is taken from the rope for acceleration and deceleration ramps in both terminals o Transfers in intermediate stations are electrically powered o In both terminals, cabins cadencing system is electrical in base and degraded operation conditions. o Braking is standard: One service brake One emergency brake 2. Electrical Equipment: o The terminals (drive and return) are controlled by a safety automate (S7 – 400F by Siemens) equipped control system (SEMER design and fabrication). o The 2 intermediate stations are controlled by a separate safety automate (S7 – 400F by Siemens) equipped control system. o Both automate cabinets are located in bottom terminal. o The lift can be controlled from each station by remote control. o Diagnosis and trouble shooting can be performed remotely from POMA in France. o Fully automated garage is also controlled by its dedicated automate. C. MAIN ECONOMICAL DATA: o Total value of the investment: 25 Millions US Dollars o Cost of electro-mechanical equipment: 12.7 Millions US Dollars o Pre-project duration: 3 years o Project completion time: 16 months o Price of the metro passenger ticket: 30 cents D. DESCRIPTION OF THE LIFT: The metro system follows the river valley where Medellin City has developed. The purpose of the project is to create a “feeder line” connecting the area of Santo Domingo to the metro station of ACEVEDO as shown on the following picture. Page – 13.6 • The Metro Station of ACEVEDO where the existing metro network (on the bottom) connects with the Santo Domingo gondola lift line. Garage for the 93 gondolas is also visible on this picture. Page – 13.7 1. Bottom Terminal: • ACEVEDO: It is the drive terminal. It is also equipped with the fully automatic garage for the 93 gondolas with retractable platform. 2. Intermediate Station Nr 1: • ANDALUCIA: The line makes an angle of 15°. This deviation is made with sheave batteries. Embarkation / disembarkation of passengers are possible in both directions. 3. Intermediate Station Nr 2: • POPULAR: The line goes straight through this station. Embarkation / disembarkation of passengers are possible in both directions. Page – 13.8 4. Top Terminal: • SANTO DOMINGO: This is the return and tensioning terminal. Stress gauges are used to control the tension value applied by the hydraulic circuit. Embarkation / disembarkation of passengers are possible in both directions. 5. The Line: • The line is 2,000 m long with a vertical rise of 400 m and an angle of 15° at the level of intermediate station Nr. 1. It comprises: o 23 towers o Rope diameter: 51 mm o 3 sections o Double safety line 6. The Cabins: • There are 93 passengers cabins as follows: o DiamonD 8/10 type 2,100 mm ceiling height o 10 passengers standing of 8 seated o Interior lighting with batteries and solar panels o Full duplex passenger communication devices between the cabins and the drive terminal. Page – 13.9 E. SPECIAL FEATURES: There are several points, which have been reconsidered taking into account the use of this technology to be integrated in an urban transportation system. 1. Availability: a. The drive unit is designed so that the occurrence of a total shut down of the lift in case of mechanical or electrical problems is as minimized as possible. Base operation is made at 5 m/s rope speed: • There are 2 electric motors M1 and M2 used together to reach the 5 m/s rope speed in normal operation, each motor delivering half of the requested power. • These 2 motors are connected with U joint to the POMA/KISSLING main gearbox.

  • Aerial Cable Cars in Medellín, Colombia
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Transportation Research Procedia 4 ( 2014 ) 55 – 67 Mobil. TUM 2014 “Sustainable Mobility in Metropolitan Regions”, May 19-20, 2014 Public Transport and Accessibility in Informal Settlements: Aerial Cable Cars in Medellín, Colombia Dirk Heinrichsa*, Judith S. Bernetb a Institute of Transport Research, German Aerospace Centre, Rutherfordstraße 2, 12489 Berlin, Germany b Kontextplan AG, Biberiststrasse 24, 4500 Solothurn, Switzerland Abstract The MetroCable in Medellín, the second largest city in Colombia, is perhaps one of the most prominent recent expansions of public transport infrastructure in urban Latin America. This article explores the question how and in what ways the MetroCable affects accessibility of the residents in two municipalities - Santa Cruz and Popular - where it operates since 2004. The presentation combines an analysis of the influence of the MetroCable on accessibility in general with a specific inquiry on female residents and the role of security. The paper adopts a differentiated conceptualization and indicators of accessibility. The analysis draws on statistical quantitative data from the Origin-Destination surveys for Medellín of 2005 and 2011/2 and about 30 in-depth semi structured interviews with female residents conducted in 2012. The paper concludes with a discussion on the possible lessons for planning interventions for improving accessibility of residents in low-income neighborhoods and a discussion on methodological implications. © 20142014 The The Authors.

  • Ropeway People Movers for Ski Resorts
    Ropeway People Movers for Ski Resorts by Andrew S. Jakes* Abstract Las Vegas, Reno, Sun City, Foxwoods, Tunica, Broad Beach, and several other international mega-resorts, have discovered that People Movers (Automated Guideway Transit) improve their image and subsequently attract new customers. In addition to presenting the rope-propelled People Mover technologies, this paper reviews how specific installations have solved visitor circulation needs in many hotel resort complexes in Las Vegas and elsewhere. This approach can be duplicated to many ski resorts worldwide since the level of ridership in Las Vegas frequently exceeds levels typically found on ski resort shuttle bus systems worldwide. We particularly focus on existing, proven technologies and specific installations, including ropeway Horizontal Elevators (Mandalay Bay, Mirage, Primadonna, and Circus-Circus Automated People Mover installations). People Mover systems represent major changes and advances in equipment, facilities, operations, and services in comparison with conventional rail, bus, taxi, and other street modes. System performance and capacities can be tailored to match expected loads and a broad range of performance and operational requirements. Suppliers usually claim, with justification, that they can adapt their product to buyer's specific needs. Vehicle size can be expanded or reduced. Seats can be added or removed from vehicles. Various grades and curves can be accommodated by altering guideway design and speeds. Riding the circulation People Mover system can be as convenient, safe and comfortable as riding a modern elevator. Stations can be sufficiently numerous to provide development-wide access. Passengers experience little or no waiting for vehicles. The operation can be environmentally friendly with no emissions, very little noise and minimum visual impacts.

  • Transporte Público Colectivo De Medellín En El Contexto
    TRANSPORTE PÚBLICO COLECTIVO DE MEDELLÍN EN EL CONTEXTO METROPOLITANO 2 Resumen El transporte para las ciudades en sus diferentes modos: público, privado, individual, colectivo, masivo, a combustión, sostenible, etc., representa un importante indicador del desarrollo y de la calidad de vida en los territorios. En ese sentido, la movilidad en todas sus dimensiones, especialmente el transporte público, es indispensable en la tarea de la planeación y ordenación territorial. Si bien la ciudad de Medellín es reconocida a nivel nacional e internacional por su modelo de transporte, este enfrenta retos que hacen necesario revisar, no solo el funcionamiento del transporte público masivo (Sistema Integrado de Transporte del Valle de Aburrá -SITVA), sino también cómo están operando los demás modos de transporte, como el Sistema de Transporte Público Colectivo (TPC). Ello, en pro de garantizar a la ciudad y a sus habitantes una movilidad de calidad en términos de comodidad, seguridad, disponibilidad, agilidad en su flujo, integración y accesibilidad (física, tecnológica y tarifaria). El TPC como sistema complementario integrado e incluso subsidiario al SITVA, es hoy el modo de transporte de mayor uso en Medellín y el Área Metropolitana del Valle de Aburrá, representando el 18% de los viajes diarios en la región y movilizando un aproximado de 1´103,760 pasajeros al día. Razón por la cual la presente investigación se centra en este modo de transporte público, analizando su estado del arte como Sistema de Transporte Público Colectivo de Medellín, en el contexto metropolitano; identificando los avances y dificultades en la conversión tecnológica y en la renovación (y chatarrización) de flota del TPC en la ciudad de Medellín; y analizando además el funcionamiento y las proyecciones de funcionamiento de los carriles exclusivos y paraderos del Sistema de Transporte Público Colectivo (buses).
