Integrating Urban Public Transport Systems and Cycling Summary And
CPB Corporate Partnership Board Integrating Urban Public Transport Systems and Cycling 166 Roundtable Summary and Conclusions Integrating Urban Public Transport Systems and Cycling Summary and Conclusions of the ITF Roundtable on Integrated and Sustainable Urban Transport 24-25 April 2017, Tokyo Daniel Veryard and Stephen Perkins with contributions from Aimee Aguilar-Jaber and Tatiana Samsonova International Transport Forum, Paris The International Transport Forum The International Transport Forum is an intergovernmental organisation with 59 member countries. It acts as a think tank for transport policy and organises the Annual Summit of transport ministers. ITF is the only global body that covers all transport modes. The ITF is politically autonomous and administratively integrated with the OECD. The ITF works for transport policies that improve peoples’ lives. Our mission is to foster a deeper understanding of the role of transport in economic growth, environmental sustainability and social inclusion and to raise the public profile of transport policy. The ITF organises global dialogue for better transport. We act as a platform for discussion and pre- negotiation of policy issues across all transport modes. We analyse trends, share knowledge and promote exchange among transport decision-makers and civil society. The ITF’s Annual Summit is the world’s largest gathering of transport ministers and the leading global platform for dialogue on transport policy. The Members of the Forum are: Albania, Armenia, Argentina, Australia, Austria, -

Intercity Bus Transportation System and Its Competition in Malaysia

Among these modes, bus transportation continues to be the top choice for intercity travelers in Malaysia. Bus offers more flexibility compared to the other transport modes. Due to its relatively cheaper fare as compared to the air transport, bus is more affordable to those with low income. However, bus transport service today is starting to face higher competition from rail and air transport due to their attractive factors. The huge challenge faced by intercity bus transport in Malaysia is the management of its services. The intercity bus transport does not fall under one management; unlike rail transport which is managed under Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB), or air transport which is managed under Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB). -

Success lies in the details and advance technology www.roco.cc H0e Diesellokomotive Diesel locomotive Rh 2095, ÖBB 2 www.roco.cc H0e Von den Simmering Graz Pauker Werken wurde im Jahr 1958 auf der sogenannten „Wie- ner Herbstmesse“ erstmals eine dieselhydraulische Schmalspurlokomotiven: mit 760 mm Spurweite vorgestellt. Unter der Bezeichnung LDH 600/s wurde die 600 PS starke und rund 60 km/h schnelle Lok präsentiert. Die Konstruktion sah einen Antrieb über die mittleren Radsätze sowie Treibstangen vor. Die Österreichischen Bundesbahnen (ÖBB) testeten die Lokomotive noch im gleichen Jahr ausgiebig auf den Strecken von St. Pölten nach Mariazell und Gresten. Bereits im Dezember 1958 wurde mit der 2095.01 die erste, im Vergleich zur Prototyp-Lok umge- baute, Lok in Dienst gestellt. Damit war bei den ÖBB eine neue Loktype unter der Rei- henbezeichnung 2095 vorhanden. Weitere zwei Dieselloks folgten der ersten Maschine. Die Loks der Reihe 2095 bildeten über Jahrzehnte das Rückgrat der ÖBB auf den dieselbetriebenen Schmalspurstrecken. Sie beförderten alleine im Waldviertel täglich eine Vielzahl an Arbeitern zu ihren Betrieben. Doch auch im Güterzugverkehr und insbe- sondere im Rollbock-/Rollwagenverkehr wussten die Stangenloks zu überzeugen. Heute werden einige der Lokomotiven auf touristisch betriebenen Strecken wie der Krimmler- bahn, zwischen Zell am See und Krimml sowie auf der durch die NÖVOG betriebenen Waldviertelbahn von Gmünd aus eingesetzt. Straight from the Simmering Graz Pauker factories, a diesel hydraulic narrow gauge locomotive with a gauge of 760mm was shown for the first time at the “Vienna Autumn Fair” in 1958. -

Railway Locomotive and Rollingstock Drawings
Railway locomotive and rollingstock drawings Research Guide to Railway locomotive and rollingstock drawings records at Queensland State Archives Research Guide to Railway Locomotive and Rollingstock Drawings Records This research guide provides an overview of the drawings produced by or for the Chief Mechanical Engineer’s Branch (or Locomotive Branch) of the Railway Department. The drawings are available on microfilm at Queensland State Archives (QSA). These railway drawings trace the development of Queensland railway locomotive and rollingstock from 1864. Most of the drawings consist of general arrangement and working drawings for the construction of rollingstock. The QSA references for these records are in the Queensland State Archives’ catalogue. Note: QSA does not hold all drawings proposed for or adopted by Queensland Rail (QR). Queensland Rail Heritage Collection The Queensland Rail Heritage Collection consists of 72 series of records transferred to Queensland State Archives from the Workshops Rail Museum, Ipswich, in 2019. The QRHS spans the years 1864 to 2007. All the records are open. These holdings give us a glimpse into Queensland’s past with railway brass bands, railway refreshment rooms and clock repair registers. There are many treasures in the plans, drawings, photographs and audio-visual material. A search of our catalogue using the keywords - Queensland Rail Heritage Collection - will find all the series of records including hyperlinks to descriptions. Interested researchers are welcome to visit Queensland State Archives to request and view the records. Each series has a Queensland Rail/Queensland Museum catalogue number. A list in numerical order by catalogue numbers is in the Research Guide to railway records at Queensland State Archives. -

Abstract. The article presents result of computational modelling of container dynamic load during transportation as a part of trains of intermodal transport on a railway ferry. The computational models were developed which account the movement of the container with regard to the frame of the flat wagon while moving of the railway ferry. It was assumed that there is no movement of the flat wagon with regard to the deck, since these movements were limited by fastening means. The obtained acceleration rates, as components of the dynamic loads acting on the container, were accounted while determining the containers stability coefficient with regard to the flat wagons. The railway ferry heeling angles which ensure the stability of the containers were determined. The researches will ensure safety of transportation of containers as a part of trains of intermodal transport on a railway ferry, as well as increase the efficiency of operation of intermodal transport in the international transport.
