  • Urban Public Transport Service Co-Creation: Leveraging Passenger’S Knowledge to Enhance Travel Experience
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences 111 ( 2014 ) 577 – 585 EWGT2013 – 16th Meeting of the EURO Working Group on Transportation Urban public transport service co-creation: leveraging passenger’s knowledge to enhance travel experience António A. Nunesa,*, Teresa Galvãoa, João Falcão e Cunhaa aFaculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto, Rua Dr. Roberto Frias, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal Abstract Mobile devices are increasingly pervasive and are transforming information distribution paradigms. A rapidly growing segment of urban public transport passengers carry mobile computing devices, permanently and on the move. In a context of thinning financial resources, getting customers involved in the actual delivery of a public transport service as real-time information consumers and providers, may be a powerful method to enhance travel experience while reducing operational costs for the service operator. Each and every customer travelling on a public transport network has unique knowledge about the service operation as it unfolds. This paper proposes a framework that aims to unify public transport passengers’ collective intelligence through crowdsourcing, using their mobile computing devices and dedicated web services. It strives to intensify win-win relationships between public transport passengers and operators. The structured exchange of information is sustained by a validation mechanism for data reliability, and an incentive mechanism to encourage passenger participation. Passengers benefit from rich real-time data tailored to their profiles, to ease their journeys and improve travel experience, in exchange for their own participation providing and validating information. Operators gain access to rich customer generated data, which in an aggregated format may provide a real-time assessment of customer experience and of local performance across the entire network operation.

  • 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.

  • EBP-TBM Face Support Control in the Metro Do Porto Project
    1 Proceedings 2005 Rapid Excavation & Tunneling Conference, Seattle EPB-TBM Face Support Control in the Metro do Porto Project, Portugal S. Babendererde, Babendererde Engineers LLC, Kent, WA; E. Hoek, Vancouver, BC, Canada; P.G. Marinos, National Technical University of Athens, Athens, Greece; and A.S. Cardoso, Universidade do Porto, Porto, Portugal Abstract The highly variable nature of the deeply weathered Oporto granite posed significant challenges in the driving of the 8.7km long Metro tunnels with 2 EPBTBMs. Early problems were encountered due to over excavation and face collapse in that extremely heterogeneous geology. Because of the last collapse with fatal consequences the project was interrupted. The difficulties were finally resolved by the introduction of an additional Active Face Support System which involves the injection of pressurized bentonite slurry to compensate automatically for deficiencies in the face support pressure. The project has now been completed with minimal surface subsidence and no face instability. 1. INTRODUCTION The planned integrated Metropolitan Transport System of Porto includes 70 km of track and 66 stations and excavation of the first section of the C and S lines started in August 2000. This first section, with 6.3 km tunnel and 11 stations, is located under the centre of the picturesque and densely populated city of Porto. The tunnel has an internal diameter of 7.8 m and accommodates two tracks. It was driven by two Earth Pressure Balanced (EPB) TBMs with outside diameters of 8.7 m and 8.9 m. The alignment has a maximum cover of 32 m and a minimum of 3 m.
