Novanews on the Web: Merete Tøndel www.novapoint.com 3 Novapoint GeoSuite Toolbox offers a wide range of tools for geotechnical engineers for the modelling and pre- sentation of ground investigations. The program pack is the result of a Norwegian/Swedish cooperation financed by NFR and via funds provided by the Norwegian project partners in the GeoSuite project. The partners represent both the private, public, univer- sity and college environments within geotechnical engi- neering in Norway and include NGI, Multiconsult, The Directorate of Public Roads, GeoVita, NTNU and SINTEF and the IT companies Vianova Systems AS, Vianova GeoSuite AB and the AutoGRAF associa- tion in Sweden. The AutoGRAF association brings together around 90% of the geotechnical environment in Sweden. The project began with phase 1 which started in 2003 and has moved on from 1 January 2007 to phase 2, which will be completed in 2009. 4 Jan Ludvigsson, Vianova GeoSuite Vianova GeoSuite AB is the company in the Vianova The central product in the program package is GS network which has geotechnical engineering as its Presentation.

Punctuality has never been better, rail traffic is growing, and in summer 2004 the Norwegian Parliament took the historic decision to invest NOK 26.4 billion in developing a competitive rail network over the ten years from 2006 to 2015. In other words, the anniversary year not only provided the opportunity for a nostalgic look back, but also confirmed that the railways will continue to play a central role in the years ahead.

  • Ride-Sharing On
    Ride -Sharing on PRT Prof. Ingmar Andréasson LogistikCentrum, Taljegardsgatan 11, SE -43153 Molndal, email: [email protected] Abstract The name Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) indicates that passengers are served on an individual basis. It is an important quality of PRT that passengers do not have to wait for vehicles to be filled up. They travel alone or in company of their own choice. PRT vehicles like taxis are designed for small parties, typically for 3-5 passengers. In this paper we will discuss pros and cons with non-puristic PRT where some passengers are matched to share the same vehicle. Simulation results are given for a proposed PRT network for Fornebu Oslo. Why bother with ride -sharing Even if PRT vehicles are small in size it is tempting to try to increase their load factor at least during peak demand. More passengers in each vehicle would reduce the required fleet size and increase the capacity of both guideway links and stations. In this paper we will look at ways to increase vehicle load without giving up the short waiting-time for PRT passengers. The required fleet size is determined by the passenger demand during the peak hour, the average passenger load and the average time for a vehicle mission (travel with passengers plus empty travel). We can save on the fleet size by utilizing shorter distances, higher speeds, shorter empty trips or higher passenger load. In this paper we will focus on increasing the passenger load.
