thanks to Dr. Grant Saff without whom I would never have taken on such a project. His belief in me, coupled with quite a bit of coercion, was the only thing that made me go through with it. Words can barely express how grateful I am that you pushed me to undertake this. I am also grateful to Dr. James Wiley who helped me through the initial phase of defining my project and narrowing down the necessary research. Thank you for your constant enthusiasm. I want to thank Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue, my academic advisor for this project; thank you for your feedback and for helping me incorporate certain theoretical aspects into my research. Mom and Dad, thank you for always being supportive of what I do and for believing in me. Thank you mom for that last week of intensive editing; I couldn’t have done it without you. Victoria Lauren Cocolaras, thank you for putting up with my ‘crazy’ these past few years and especially this last semester. You have been there and have been supportive no matter what. I also wish to thank Lee Wonsuk for translating the survey in Korean and helping me conduct it in Seoul. I am grateful to all the people in New York, Paris and Seoul who so graciously took the time to fill out my survey. Finally, I take this opportunity to thank Johan Thomas Salin, the thought of whom kept me going on many of those late night, coffee-and-Redbull-induced research and writing sessions. Thank you to all my friends and family who had to hear me complain for a whole four months. What can I say, I’m French! ii Glossary of Acronyms ADA: Americans with Disabilities Act BMT: Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Corporation BRT: Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company CCTV: Closed Circuit Television CMP: Compagnie du Chemin de Fer Metropolitain de Paris CPTED: Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design GPSR: Groupement de Protection et de Securite des Reseaux IND: Independent Rapid Transit Railroad IRT: Interborough Rapid Transit Company KORAIL: Korea Railroad Corporation KPI: Key Performance Indicators KSCC: Korea Smart Card Company LIRR: Long Island Rail Road LCD: Liquid Crystal Display LED: Light Emitting Diode MDBF: Mean Distance Between Failure METEOR: Metro Est-Ouest Rapide MMTOA: Metropolitan Mass Transportation Operating Assistance Tax MTA: Metropolitan Transit Authority MTAPD: Metropolitan Transit Authority Police Department NFC: Near Field Communication NYPD: New York Police Department NYCTP: New York City Transit Police OTP: On-Time Performance PSD: Platform Screen Door RATP: Régie Autonome des Transports Parisiens RER: Réseau Express Regional SDRPT: Sous-direction Regionale de la Police des Transports SMG: Seoul Metropolitan Government SMRT: Seoul Metropolitan Rapid Transit SNCF: Société Nationale des Chemins de Fer Français STIF: Syndicat des transports d'Île-de-France USCTC:

  • ESCAP PPP Case Study #1
    Public-Private Partnerships Case Study #1 Traffic Demand Risk: The case of Bangkok’s Skytrain (BTS) by Mathieu Verougstraete and Isabelle Enders (March 2014) The following case study examines the issue of traffic demand risk and sheds light on how the problem of inaccurate ridership forecasts can impact a PPP project by using the example of the Bangkok SkyTrain. TRAFFIC DEMAND RISK FIGURE 1 : ACTUAL/FORECAST TRAFFIC Even though literature is rich about theory and practice of traffic forecasting, insufficient attention has been paid to the predicted accuracy of traffic forecasting models and the consequences of occurring errors. Emperical studies suggest however that traffic forecasts in the transport sector are characterized by large errors and considerable optimism bias.1 This statement goes in line with the review conducted on PPP projects financed by the European Investment Bank which states that major issues in road projects BANGKOK BTS: CASE SUMMARY occurred because of traffic performance has been overestimated. Findings disclose that Bangkok covers about 606 square miles 1/2 of toll road projects failed to meet their and is densely populated. By 1990 it was early-year forecasts; often by some margin renowned for its chronic traffic congestion, 2 (errors of 50% - 70%). and over the subsequent decade vehicle ESCAP supports govern- ownership more than doubled.

  • Functional Allocation and Door Control of ATO for the Korean Radio-Based Train Control System
    Recent Advances in Circuits, Systems and Automatic Control Functional Allocation and Door Control of ATO for the Korean Radio-based Train Control System MIN-SOO KIM, YONG-KI YOON, SEH-CHAN OH and YONG-KYU KIM Radio-based Train Control Research Team, Korea Railroad Research Institute 360-1 Woram-dong, Uiwang-si, Gyeonggi-do, 437-757, KOREA [email protected] http://www.krri.re.kr Abstract: - The Communication Based Train Control (CBTC) performs train position report immediately and movement authority transmission through wireless communications between a wayside control center and on- board vehicle computers. And it has effect of increasing the railway capacity by allowing the high-density train control through a high capacity of information transmission between the on-board and the wayside. Also, it reduces the maintenance cost because it does not use the existing track circuits. The Automatic Train Protection (ATP)/ Automatic Train Operation (ATO) is fundamental train control system for driverless operation in urban rail and metro rail, and it is important role in the communications based train control system. Especially, the ATO acts as a key role for automatic operation in urban rail with short distance between stations stopping and frequently stops. This paper describes the door control including platform screen door (PSD) and functional allocation of ATO which is responsible for the automatic operation and the door control as a subsystem of the Korean Radio-based Train Control System (KRTCS). Key-Words: - Korean Radio-based Train Control System, Automatic Train Operation, Door Control, Automatic Train Protection 1 Introduction offers safety and conveniences of passengers Railway systems are group of individuals with through the safe operations such as an accurate stop vehicles, tracks and signals, and therefore the on the station, train door/Platform Screen Door effective interaction among the subsystems is a core (PSD) controlling, and so on.
