Office of the Commissioner for Road Transport and Tramways, Sydney, 3rd November, 1950. To the Honourable the Minister for Transport. Sir, In accordance with the provisions of Section 207 of the Transport Acts, 1930-50, and Section 50 of the State Transport (Co-ordination) Act, 1931-50, I have the honour to submit a report covering the operations of the Department of Road Transport and Tramways for the year ended 30th June, 1950. During the year for which this report is submitted, the Department was administered by Mr. C. N. Neale, who retired from the position of Commissioner for Road Transport and Tramways on the 11th September, 1949, by Mr. R. Winsor who succeeded him and who subsequently resigned on the 21st May, 1950, to take up appointment as Director of Transport and Highways, and by myself on and from 22nd May, 1950. TRAMWAY, TROLLEY BUS AND DEPARTMENTAL OMNIBUS SERVICES. The tramway, trolley bus and Departmental omnibus services, Sydney and Newcastle areas combined, sustained a loss of £804,030 in the year. After allowing for the receipt of a grant of £200,000 from the Government towards losses sustained during the general coal strike, there was an operating loss of £439,194 to which is added £350,210 for interest, exchange and sinking fund, and £14,626 for the writing off of abandoned assets. In the years 1947-48 and 1948-49, losses of £675,891 and £309,513, respectively, were recorded. The loss of £804,030 is made up of £688,666 in the Sydney Metro­ politan area and £115,364 in Newcastle. During the year expenditure increased by £1,052,799 of which sum £678,700 was attributable to basic wage increases, award variations and additional leave granted to employees. The balance of £374,099 was due principally to increases in capital debt charges and costs of stores and materials, provision for accruing maintenance on omnibuses and other costs such as pay roll tax, superannuation and compensation payments, 5 6 The following statement compares the results for 1949-50 with those for the previous year:— 1948-40. 1949-50. | Increase.

    MAKING TAXIS SAFER Managing road risks for taxi drivers, their passengers and other road users May 2016 About PRAISE Using the roads is a necessary part of our working lives. But it’s an ordinary activity that leads to an incredibly high level of injury and death. ETSC’s PRAISE (Preventing Road Accidents and Injuries for the Safety of Employees) project addresses the safety aspects of driving at work and driving to work. Its aim is to promote best practice in order to help employers secure high road safety standards for their employees. The project is co-ordinated by the ETSC secretariat with the support of Fundación MAPFRE, the German Road Safety Council (DVR), the Belgian Road Safety Institute (IBSR-BIVV) and the Dräger Foundation.

  • Interior Noise Reduction Approach for Monorail System

Nine samples out of three materials were subjected for noise test and the performance of each sample was observed. It is found that all of these samples have proved to reduce a significant amount noise at low and high frequencies even though the amount reduced differ from one sample to another. It is also been noticed that this reductions were denominated by means of absorption for some samples such as those from rubber material, and it was dominated by means of reflection for some others such as those from aluminum composite and paper composite. Moreover, from these different acoustic properties of each material, the whereabouts to install every material is different as well. It was suggested that, the rubber material should be installed on the upper floor of the monorail while, the paper composite should be installed under floor, and the aluminum composite should be installed at the outer parts from the monorail such as the apron door, ceiling, etc. However, despite their promising potential to reduce noise, there were few uncertainties with some samples at certain frequency, for example samples from aluminum composite could not reduce noise at 1250 Hz which denotes that it is not a good practice to use this material at that frequency.

  • Road Transport Infrastructure
    © IEA ETSAP - Technology Brief T14 – August 2011 - www.etsap.org Road Transport Infrastructure HIGHLIGHTS TECHNOLOGY STATUS - Road transport infrastructure enables movements of people and goods within and between countries. It is also a sector within the construction industry that has demonstrated significant developments over time and ongoing growth, particularly in the emerging economies. This brief highlights the different impacts of the road transport infrastructure, including those from construction, maintenance and operation (use). The operation (use) phase of a road transport infrastructure has the most significance in terms of environmental and economic impact. While the focus in this phase is usually on the dominant role of tail-pipe GHG emissions from vehicles, the operation of the physical infrastructure should also accounted for. In total, the road transport infrastructure is thought to account for between 8% and 18% of the full life cycle energy requirements and GHG emissions from road transport. PERFORMANCE AND COSTS - Energy consumption, GHG emissions and costs of road transport infrastructure fall broadly into the three phases: (i) construction, (ii) maintenance, and (iii) operation (decommissioning is not included in this brief). The construction and maintenance costs of a road transport infrastructure vary according to location and availability of raw materials (in general, signage and lighting systems are not included in the construction costs). GHG emissions resulting from road construction have been estimated to be between 0.37 and 1.07 ktCO2/km for a 13m wide road – depending on construction methods. Maintenance over the road lifetime (typically 40 years) can also be significant in terms of costs, energy consumption and GHG emissions.

  • Sector Assessment (Summary): Transport (Road Transport [Nonurban])1
    Additional Financing of Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation Corridors 2, 5, and 6 (Dushanbe–Kurgonteppa) Road Project (RRP TAJ 49042) SECTOR ASSESSMENT (SUMMARY): TRANSPORT (ROAD TRANSPORT [NONURBAN])1 1. Sector Performance, Problems, and Opportunities 1. Development challenges. Tajikistan is a landlocked mountainous country in Central Asia bordered by Afghanistan, the People’s Republic of China (PRC), the Kyrgyz Republic, and Uzbekistan. Despite its strategic location, the country had a gross domestic product per capita of just $819, with 32% of the national population living below the poverty line in 2017. Almost 70% of the population lives in rural areas, in territory that is largely mountainous. Tajikistan depends heavily on its road transport corridors to support investment, job creation, trade, and ultimately economic growth and poverty reduction. Ailing transport infrastructure and geographic isolation result in high transport costs and limited access to markets and services, posing significant barriers to the country’s economic and social development. 2. Transport sector overview. The Ministry of Transport (MOT) is responsible for roads, railways, and airports; transport sector policy; and related regulation, planning, operations, and investment. The MOT is headed by a minister and three deputy ministers, and divided into seven departments that include 90 staff at MOT headquarters. The MOT’s subordinate organizations include six state enterprises for transport management and 61 state enterprises for highway maintenance. The country’s transport network comprises approximately 27,000 kilometers (km) of roads, 680 km of railway tracks, and four international airports. Demand for road transport is outpacing demand for other transport modes, with approximately 68% of cargo and 90% of passenger traffic carried by road.

  • Oxford Road Transport Roads
    Oxford Road Transport Roads Reading’s position on the main road between London and Bath was central to its economic growth. After Queen Anne visited the spa town in 1702 ‘taking the waters’ at Bath became popular and fashionable for the wealthy. Stagecoach services on the London- Bath road stopped at Reading and inns such as the Angel, Broad Face, George and Saracen’s Head flourished. By 1840 there were 110 inns in Reading. They provided food and accommodation for travellers and venues for social and political meetings, dinners and entertainments for people living in Reading. The George, the Turk’s Head and the Sun are still trading today. The volume of coach traffic hinted at the future growth of commuter traffic. It was observed that the new coach services enabled ‘the Reading man who leaves home in the morning to transact what business he may have to do in London and to return the same evening’. Road journeys remained slow, cold and uncomfortable. The cost of travel by coach to London from Reading was around 8 shillings, more than an average week’s wage. Frequent roadside robberies made this form of transport increasingly perilous. These factors combined to have negative impact on Reading’s trade and industry in the decades before the arrival of the railway. Horse and Carriage This image depicts Reading’s bustling Market Place. Until the 12th century the market was originally situated near St Mary’s Church further to the west. However, under the commands of the Abbot the market was moved closer to the Abbey and its main Gate.
