SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS • • As directed by the Contract, the "scope of work during this initial phase of the Rapid Transit Program has emphasized the screening of transit system proposals presented by manufacturers and inventors of transit systems and equipment and.the initia~ consideration of condi­ I tions existing within the· four transit corridors that would affect • ,the selection of the type of system. The purpose of this screening • of systems and initial consideration of routes, was the development of a limited number of transit systems having sufficient merit to • warrant a detailed comparative analysis. This detailed analysis, in the next phase of the program, wouldprovlde the basis for the selec­ tion of the system most adaptable to the Los Angeles Transit requirements. • • An important part of this initial phase also has been the accumulation of basic ~ta and the planning work necessary for the establishment of a master plan of ultimate transit development in order to insure the I orderly consideration of the transit system and that initial efforts w1ll be compatible with the requirements of the future. In addition, I work has begun on the collection of data.and certain of the engineering • efforts which should carry forward in the next phase, and which will • provide the basis for many of the decisions which must be made in the I next phase. - • • The team which has been assigned to this effort has been made up of in- d!viduals f:rom the various IK1M technical staf't" groups together with our Associate ED.glneer, Mason & Hanger-Sllaa Mason CompanyJ Inc. and the othl..~r consultants in the following specialities: Gibb6 & Hill Equiprrent - Elecilrical Engineering Victor Gruen Associates Community Plana1ng Colonel S. H. Bingham Transit System Operations Harold Otis Transit Equipment Lloyd A1dricb Routes • Henry Babcock Land and Rights-Of-Way Evaluation leRoy Cranda] ] & Associates Foundation Engineering and Geology These specialists have met frequently 'With the project staff for discuss­ ions on various aspects of the work. Several of the consultants have been asked to report on special problems and these reparts have been included in the appendix of the technical supporting materiaL The program has been d1vided into three general tasks with a project task group assigned to each. These task groups have operated under the direct­ ion and coordination of the Partner-In-Charge and of the Project Manager. For convenience, the reporting herein wil.l generally be done using the • same divisional framework as these tasks which are: Transit Planning and Criteria • Transit Systems Transit Facilities The following paragraphs will discuss the progress and findings of each of the groups with recommendations for further "WOrk required during suc­ • ceeding phases provided further on. - I " • • • TRANSIT PLANNING AND CRITERIA - The first task assigned to this group was that of criteria research and the development of transit system criteria. This is necessary to set the pattern for the consideration and evaluation of the various transit sys­ tems. Recommendations for criteria to be satisfied by transit systems to be considered for application to Los Angeles take the form of desirable minimums, and are set forth in later paragraphs. DE\IELOPMENr OF REQUIREMENTS FOR ULTIMATE TRANSIT SERVICE • Much progress has been made in the planning work necessary for the develop­ ment of requirements for ultimate transit service. This work 1s being carried out in connection with representatives of Coverdale & Co~pitts and using the data previously developed by them. Frequent conferences have been held with officials from City and Regional Planning agencies in order to ascertain their progress toward the develop­ ment of the Master Plan for the metropolitan area and to obtain their pro­ • jections of future growth. • The corridor layouts and traffic projections previously submitted to the Authority by Coverdale & Colpitts have been considered along with informa­ • tion from various planning agencies on future land use patterns. The possi­ • ble effects of transit service on land use patterns have been explored. This • is leading to the development of the definition of the place of rapid transit • within the over-all transportation plan and the requirements that transit • must serve within the community. • 1-3 • • I • • Our findings, to date, have led to the autlin.ing of three bI'.Qad concepts of .tr$llSitservice that may be c'onsidered as ~s of providing different level.sof service. These transit system concepts 'are: . 1. Full coverage systems which would provide means .af se.rving • the majority of origins and destinations within the Community ~th rapid transit service as adv.Qcated by George Ro~ and otherS. • 2 .• Flexible systems utilizing bus equipIIle~t to provide .for feeder • distribution ~d trunk service with a single vehicle. 3· Trunk line rapid transit ~ystems served by feeder .and distri-· bution syste.ms using buses or other eq:u.ipment. The Authority directed .our initial effort toward the t:runk line concept which was the result of the corridor recommendations of Coverdale and Colpitts. The relationship .of these transit concepts to the ultimate transit requirements will be .studied further with inf'ormation from Coverdale'and Colpitts to determine the levels of service needed now.and in the future.

  • Optimisation of Traction and Fixing Systems in Suspended Monorails
    This paper is part of the Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Railway Engineering Design and Operation (CR 2016) www.witconferences.com Optimisation of traction and fixing systems in suspended monorails J. Yunta, D. Fernandez, D. Garcia-Pozuelo, V. Diaz, B. L. Boada & M. B. Ramírez Departamento de Ingeniería Mecánica, Instituto para la Seguridad de los Vehículos Automóviles (ISVA), Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain Abstract Means of transport are a key point in the development of countries and the population interconnection, so the continuous improvement of them is an obligation and a challenge as well. The mean of transport selected for improvement is the monorail, which serves as a single rail track to transport cargo or passengers. In most cases, the monorail drives around suspension, but can also drive at ground level or tunnels. The aim of this work is the analysis of the optimisation design and technical feasibility of the traction and fixing systems of the monorail. A comparative technical analysis of these systems has been carried out to quantify them, assessing the strengths and weaknesses. Once the system idea to develop and optimise is defined, basic parameters and characteristics of the system are detailed, commercial elements are selected and a traction-fixing system model is modelled. The traction-fixing system has also been optimised with various loading limited conditions like static, modal and thermal analysis. FEM with Abaqus/CAE and CAD-CAM modelling with AutoCAD have been used in this work. Keywords: suspended monorail, optimisation, comparative technical analysis, design alternative, FEM, computer simulations, 3D modelling. 1 Introduction The monorail is a mean of transport in which carriages are moved in suspension or on a single rail structure and they are used for carrying passengers or cargo [1].

    PART II: Best Practices SUSTAINABLE MODES ROADWAY DRAINAGE INFORMATION ENHANCING & MAINTENANCE TECHNOLOGIES INFRASTRUCTURE page 24 page 46 page 60 page 70 SUSTAINABLE MODES Increasing transit capacity, extending the reach of the city’s transit network and providing new transit options to New Yorkers are some of the prime transportation goals outlined in PlaNYC 2030. These challenges are particularly pressing in New York City, where there is limited available space and where existing density and logistical challenges drive up construction costs. The best practices featured in this section are modes of transportation that could be implemented in New York City to reduce pressure on existing modes, increase the connectivity and capacity of our public transit system, and take into account rising and fluctuating fuel and oil prices. They represent innovative sustainable planning— environmental, transportation and economic—and may be able to help increase transit capacity with less extensive capital projects. This report highlights three modes of transportation and/or technologies that have increased the capacities of public transit systems around the world and can reduce traffic congestion and pollution here in New York. • Hybrid Ferries » Case Study 1: The Solar Sailor • Bicycle Share Programs » Case Study 2: Bicing & Velib’ • Passenger, Freight & Aerial Streetcars » Case Study 3: The Portland Streetcar » Case Study 4: The CarGo Tram » Case Study 5: Schwebebahn, SkyBus & AeroBus SUSTAINABLE MODES Rush hour in Manhattan.

Wingler June 2019 1 From the 1902 Mono-Rail guided Bullock Cart in India to the 21th Century Mono-Rail guided Los Angeles Airport Automatic People Mover (LAX APM) in USA I. Mono-Rail guided Carriage Transport in India from 1902 to 1927 The first Mono-Rail guided goods carriage system, a road borne railway system, had been the Kundala Valley Railway in India, which was built in 1902 and operated between Munnar and Top Station in the Kannan Devan Hills of Kerala. It operated with a cart- vehicle, built to transport tea and other goods. The initial cart road was cut in 1902 and then replaced by the monorail goods carriage system along the road leading from Munnar to Top Station for the purpose of transporting tea and other products from Munnar and Madupatty to Top Station. This monorail was based on the Ewing System (see below) and had small steel-wheels placed on the mono-rail track while a larger wheel rested on the road to balance the monorail. The mono-rail was pulled by bullocks. Top Station was a trans-shipment point for delivery of tea from Munnar to Bodinayakkanur. Tea chests arriving at Top Station were then transported by an aerial ropeway from Top Station 5 km (3 mi) down-hill to the south to Kottagudi, Tamil Nadu, which popularly became known as "Bottom Station".
