Introduction 1.1 About this Planning Guide The purpose of this Planning Guide is to provide basic information on elevators for the public transportation segment (airports, railway stations, underground stations, transit centers etc.), and to help you fi nd the best elevator solution for your particular needs. 1.2 About KONE KONE is known worldwide for manufacturing, installing, servicing and modernizing elevators, escalators and automatic building doors. We have supplied elevators to thousands of public transportation buildings worldwide, from the New York metro to Beijing Capital Airport, and have over 800 service centers in 49 countries. However, KONE provides more than elevators, escalators and automatic building doors. We provide a complete solution that is greater than the sum of its parts. This means providing help in ensuring the effi cient fl ow of people throughout the entire facility. Our vision is therefore to deliver the best People Flow™ experience. By People Flow we mean moving people smoothly, safely, comfortably and without waiting. 4 © KONE Planning Guide for public transportation elevators © KONE Planning Guide for public transportation elevators 5 6 © KONE Planning Guide for public transportation elevators 2. Special demands of public transportation With new developments in technology improving the ease and accessibility of travel for everyone, it is no surprise that the volume of travelers continues to grow. This is putting greater demands on airports and transit centers, where all elements – metro station, railway station, hotel and shopping center for example – have to be seamlessly integrated. 2.1 Airports There are many types of traffic at an airport, as passengers arrive and depart by plane, train, metro, bus and car, and go to or through shopping areas, hotels and conference centers. KONE supplies a complete range of solutions for airports: passenger and service elevators, escalators and autowalks. On top of the equipment, KONE helps manage the flow of people through an airport. Our comprehensive People Flow™ solutions ensure smooth and efficient movement of people and goods, with all of the components working seamlessly together, and supported for their entire lifecycle. To ensure the best possible traffic in and through the airport, early planning of People Flow™ is essential. Our People Flow planning guide for transit centers (ref. ID 7172) provides valuable help in this respect. 2.1.1 Benefits of KONE elevators in airports • Eco-efficient™ life cycle and low lifetime costs • Accessibility: KONE equipment is easy to use – for all passengers (not only disabled users) • Easy maintenance and operation • Reliability and safety of components • Cutting-edge technology • Carefully planned placement of elevators, escalators and automatic doors ensuring efficient People Flow • Full customization of elevator design available •

  • Walking Toward Metro Stations: the Contribution of Distance, Attitudes, and Perceived Built Environment

Alemania 281, Temuco 4780000, Chile 2 Academic Researcher, Universidad Católica del Maule, San Miguel 3605, Talca, Chile; [email protected] 3 Department of Urban Studies, Apadana Institute of Higher Education, Shiraz 7187985443, Iran; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 17 September 2020; Accepted: 16 November 2020; Published: 9 December 2020 Abstract: Walking as an active means of travel is important as a sustainable mode of transport. Moreover, the level of walking in the surrounding areas of metro stations would contribute to maintaining the minimum rate of physical activity and, therefore, inhabitants’ general health. This study examined the impacts of walking attitude, walking distance, and perceived built environment on walking behavior for reaching the metro stations in Shiraz, Iran. Three metro stations were selected and a quantitative approach was used to examine the objectives. It was found that the average walking distance is less than the average in developed countries, such as the United States. People walked more when there was a shorter distance between their starting points and the metro stations. The contribution of walking attitudes and several built environment attributes to walking behavior was demonstrated. Finding the contribution of aesthetic attributes, such as accessibility to parks and housing types of the starting points of the walking trips, to walking for transport are taken into account as the novelties of this study.

  • Detecting Illegal Pickups of Intercity Buses from Their GPS Traces *
    2014 IEEE 17th International Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSC) October 8-11, 2014. Qingdao, China Detecting Illegal Pickups of Intercity Buses from Their GPS Traces * Ling Yin, Jinxing Hu, Lian Huang, Fan Zhang, and Peng Ren Abstract—In some regions, especially in developing countries Therefore, this illegal pickup behavior has to be controlled and such as China and India, intercity bus drivers would like to pick stopped. Police Department in many cities of China put in a up passengers outside the scheduled bus stations and pocket the number of traffic enforcement units to investigate the illegal bus fares. Such illegal pickups bring large safety risks. The alert pickup locations and try to arrest bus drivers who are functions offered by the current vehicle tracking systems barely conducting illegal pickups on site. An effective site can catch this illegal act, and few studies of detecting driving investigation requires long-term experience from traffic police anomaly from GPS data focus on it either. This study hereby and takes large time and labor costs, which call for assistance presents an initial effort to fill the gap. We propose an approach from modern technology of intelligent transportation systems to automatically detecting suspicious pickup locations from (ITS). intercity bus GPS traces, and implement the approach in a geographical information system. A case study demonstrates the This study develops a geographical information system for effectiveness of the system with its high accuracy of detecting traffic police (GIS-TP) to automatically detect suspicious illegal pickup locations, and its functionality to help traffic pickup locations from intercity bus GPS traces.

  • 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.
