Advances in Earthquake Source Physics Workshop 1St - 2Nd September 2014 Gustave Tuck Lecture Theatre University College London Advances in Earthquake Source Physics Workshop 1st - 2nd September 2014 Gustave Tuck lecture theatre University College London In the following, the directions from every London airport, and from King's Cross/St. Pancras station, are detailed. Useful web links are also provided. UCL Department of Geography provides a very helpful interactive map of UCL and its surroundings, displayed at the end of this document. In the following text, references to this map will be used (e.g. UCL main gates: C3). Travelling in London can turn out to be quite expensive, especially if you intend to stay a little more than two days in London. Buying an Oyster card might be a good way to save some money. It only costs £5, and whatever the amount you want to top up at the beginning, and is quickly recovered. Then, you will just have to charge it whenever you need to. You can purchase an Osyter card at any airports and stations, or on the Transport For London website.

Once you connected to the railway station, you can take any train to Brighton, as they all stop at London St. Pancras station. It takes from 40 to 60 minutes to connect to London St. Pancras from Luton Airport. Use directions in the next section to reach UCL from King's Cross/St. Airport website Interactive route (Google Maps) From King's Cross/St. Pancras station to UCL If you are joining us via Eurostar, you will be arriving at London King's Cross/St. Pancras station. From Eurostar arrivals, find your way to Midland Road exit, and then turn left up to Euston Road. Once in Euston Road (G1), head towards West to reach Euston Square station (C1), turn left in Gower St., walk past UCLU Lewis's café (C2), and the main gates to UCL (C3) will be on your left, facing the Cruciform building (B3).

Station website Locating Gustave Tuck lecture theatre in UCL Gustave Tuck lecture theatre is located on the third floor of the South Junction of UCL (D4). Head towards the grand Wilkins Building (the one with the big dome; D3) and turn right (do not climb the stairs). There will be a door way leading into the South Cloisters building, ignore this and take the second door which will be in the far right-hand corner. Upon entering this door turn right and walk through a second set of doors keeping to the right again. There will be a staircase in front of you with signs leading to the Gustave Tuck lecture theatre. Walk up the stairs (two flights), and the lecture theatre will be on your right-hand side. Additional links UCL website Workshop website Transport For London website .

The excellent outcome Transport for London (TfL) secured from the 2010 Spending Review, which enabled Crossrail and the Tube upgrade to proceed and protected London’s extensive bus network, reflects both London’s position as the engine of the UK economy and TfL’s reputation for effective delivery. In March 2011, following the Spending Review, TfL published a Business Plan to 2014/15 setting out its plans to modernise London’s transport system, supporting the Mayor’s vision for London as a world-class city. This Business Plan update, for consideration as part of the Mayor’s Budget for 2012/13 - 2014/15, reflects TfL’s latest financial forecasts, and highlights progress made towards achieving the milestones set out in the published Business Plan together with any new developments. TfL remains on target to deliver against all its key milestones. By reaffirming TfL’s ongoing commitment to operational delivery and investment in London’s infrastructure, this update provides vital stability and continuity for customers, business groups and other stakeholders.

  • Systems Integration at London Heathrow Terminal 5
    CMR 420, 02/01/09 Winter 2009 | Vol.51, No.2 | REPRINT SERIES CaliforniaReview Management Innovation in Megaprojects: Systems Integration at London Heathrow Terminal 5 Andrew Davies David Gann Tony Douglas © 2009 by The Regents of the University of California Innovation in Megaprojects: SYSTEMS INTEGRATION AT LONDON HEATHROW TERMINAL 5 Andrew Davies David Gann Tony Douglas growing number of infrastructure projects are being proposed and built throughout the world. A megaproject is an investment of $1B or more to build the physical infrastructures that enable people, resources, and information to move within buildings and betweenA locations throughout the world. Organizations responsible for produc- ing megaprojects face a “performance paradox.” Despite the growth in number and opportunities to benefit from learning, megaprojects continue to have poor performance records.1 Most are unsuccessful measured against their original time, cost, quality, and safety objectives, as well as their expected revenue predictions. The construction of airport infrastructure provides examples of how megaprojects can go wrong. When Denver’s $5B international airport opened in 1995, it was almost 200 per cent over the original budget, 16 months late, and passenger traffic achieved only half the predicted revenues. The opening of the airport was plagued by problems with the baggage handling system, which was eventually abandoned in August 2005. Although Hong Kong’s $20B Chek Lap Kok airport opened on time in July 1998, severe disruptions were experienced for six months after opening due to computer problems with the baggage han- dling system. The authors thank Jennifer Whyte, Catelijne Coopmans, and Tim Brady, who worked on a larger study of the T5 project with us, and four anonymous referees who helped to develop our conceptual approach.

  • Methodical Approach to Determining the Capacity Utilisation of Airports: the Development of the European Air Traffic System Between 2008 and 2012
    Deutscher Luft- und Raumfahrtkongress 2014 DocumentID: 340138 METHODICAL APPROACH TO DETERMINING THE CAPACITY UTILISATION OF AIRPORTS: THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE EUROPEAN AIR TRAFFIC SYSTEM BETWEEN 2008 AND 2012 C. Schinwald, Munich Aerospace, Faculty of aerospace engineering e.V., Lyonel-Feininger-Str. 28, 80807 Munich, Germany M. Hornung, Institute of Aircraft Design, Technical University of Munich, Boltzmannstr. 15, 85748 Garching, Germany Abstract The global air transport system has seen significant growth rates over recent decades. The exponential increase in passenger numbers were only interrupted by periods of stagnation caused by the negative effects of unpredictable crises. In the future, the total number of aircraft movements is expected to grow further at rates between 4 and 5% per year. As seen in the past, the growth of the air transportation sector is highly asymmetric, which means that it varies strongly from region to region. This forecasted increase in demand is mainly caused by the augmented travel needs of the world's population and the rising wealth of its peoples. Because airports and, more precisely, the runway systems usually represent the bottleneck of the entire air transport system, this paper will focus on these elements. Due to local constraints, many airports haven’t been able to expand their infrastructure at the same speed traffic has grown. Therefore, more and more airports are operating close to their maximum capacity. This development is confirmed by continuously increasing average delays. This paper demonstrates a methodical approach which allows the determining of the degree of capacity utilisation of an airport. The Basic Load Index (BLI) and the Peak Load Index (PLI) were defined as indicators for the capacity situation of an airport.
