  • November 6, 2014 for Those of You Who Were Able to Join Us at Our
    Dear All: November 6, 2014 For those of you who were able to join us at our WB&A Members Only Semi‐Annual General Membership/Swap Meet it was good to see you and we are glad you were able to join us. Please join us in welcoming and congratulating the winners of the 2015‐16 election: David Eadie (BoD & Membership); Bob Goodrich (BoD); Bill Moss (BoD) and Dan Danielson (Eastern Rep). I extend the entire BoD thanks and welcoming to them for the 2015‐16 Term. At our meeting we took a few minutes to say “thank you” to a couple who have done so much for the train hobby, the TCA and the WB&A, namely, Mary and Pete Jackson. Your BoD presented them with a plaque in honor of their work on the BoD over the years and for their years of work running Kids Korner at York and for the countless other ways they have assisted. Mary and Pete moved to Delaware about 2 years ago and have continued to be active in all that they had committed themselves to, but it’s time for them to take time to play trains and let others step up to take on the roles they had. So to Mary and Pete we say thank you for your years of service. As a reminder, the eblasts and attachments will be placed on the WB&A website under the “About” tab for your viewing/sharing pleasure http://www.wbachapter.org/2014%20E‐ Blast%20Page.htm The attachments are contained in the one PDF attached to this email in an effort to streamline the sending of this email and to ensure the attachments are able to be received.

    September 14, 2009 Plan Background, Goals, and Safety Programs Best Practices Plan Background and Goals The City of Santa Clara’s 2009 Bicycle Plan Update is a blueprint for expanding the bicycle network that will promote safer alternative modes of transportation and help position the City for future funding for bicycle projects and roadway improvements benefiting the cycling community. The current plan was last completed in 2002. The focus of the Bicycle Plan Update is adherence to the provision of the California Streets and Highways Code, in order to remain eligible for Bicycle Transportation Account (BTA) funds for City and County projects that improve safety and convenience for bicycle commuters. The following requirements are set forth by the Code and are listed alongside the section titles discussing these requirements: 891.2a An estimation of current and future bicycle commuters (Bicycle Survey Results) 891.2b A map of existing and proposed land uses including residential neighborhoods, schools, shopping centers, public buildings, and major employment centers (Inside Map) 891.2c A map of existing and proposed bikeways (Inside Map) 891.2d A map of existing and proposed route end bicycle parking facilities (Inside Map) 891.2e A map of existing and proposed bicycle transport and parking facilities connecting with other transportation modes (Inside Map) 891.2f A map of publicly owned existing and proposed facilities for changing and storing clothes and equipment (Inside Map) 891.2g Bicycle safety and education programs, as well as California

  • Rail Monitoring from the Dynamic Response of a Passenger Train
    Rail monitoring from the dynamic response of a passenger train George Lederman1, Jacobo Bielak1, and Hae Young Noh1 1 Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, {G. Lederman [email protected], J. Bielak [email protected], H.Noh [email protected]} ABSTRACT: In this case study, we monitor Pittsburgh’s light rail-network from sensors placed on passenger trains, as a more economical monitoring approach than either visual inspection or inspection with dedicated track vehicles. Over time, we learn how the trains respond to each section of track, then use a data-driven approach to detect changes to the track condition relative to its historical baseline. We instrumented the first train in Fall 2012, and the second train in Summer 2015. We have been continuously collecting data on the trains’ position using GPS and their dynamic response using accelerometers; in addition, we have the track maintenance logs from the light-rail operator. As a validation of our system, we have been able to detect changes in the tracks, which correspond to known maintenance activity. Test Structure and Measured Data Our effective “test structure” is Pittsburgh’s 30km light-rail track network. This network has been pieced together over more than a century; the variety of assets in the system makes it a good test-bed. The network includes bridges, viaducts and tunnels, as well as both street running track and ballasted track. In addition, given Pittsburgh’s temperate climate, we have observed temperatures lower than -20oC and higher than 35oC. a b accelerometer c d e accelerometer Figure 1: Sensor Locations for (a) the train instrumented in 2012.

    Analysis of Metro rail Project selection Bias with Principal-Agent Model A case of Delhi,Bangalore,Mumbai,Jaipur and Chennai Vinod Rathod Background Urban Metro Projects have proven to be very useful in decongesting large cities. 148 cities around the world had Metro System. In World Metro systems carry 150 million passengers per day. In India, many cities are now considering the Metro system as an alternative The 12th fifth year plan Urban Transport group has recommended, Metro is only one of the Options for decongestion.

It found that most of the metro systems around the world are not financially viable. Public investment in rail transit has long been controversial (Wenling, 2006) Failures of rail projects to materialize the targeted performance in terms of ridership speed, operating costs, and development benefits, on which grounds they had been justified (Pickrell ,1989) Anticipated project objectives are moderately met but at very high costs. Under-investment on low-cost and more cost-effective transit alternatives, such as the conventional bus or Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), because resources are often allocated to light rail investments.
