This was a year in which COVID-19 left its mark on society in terms of both health and the economy. The CAF Group's response to the pandemic was swift and decisive, and was conducted in close cooperation with its stakeholders. The safeguarding of human health and safety was prioritised at all times through the adoption of measures such as fact, an unstoppable trend. Zero-emission buses are now being remote working and flexibility.

I want to give special recognition to the exemplary conduct of CAF's team of professionals, who have demonstrated Consequently, the backlog at year-end stood at EUR 8,807 million, extraordinary commitment and responsibility throughout this representing a slight decrease on the figure recognised in 2019 but difficult and uncertain year.

Llorca Copyright © 2018 Mariano Gallo. Tis is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. A hedonic model for estimating the efects of transit systems on real estate values is specifed and calibrated for the city of Naples. Te model is used to estimate the external benefts concerning property values which may be attributed to the Naples metro at the present time and in two future scenarios. Te results show that only high-frequency metro lines have appreciable efects on real estate values, while low-frequency metro lines and bus lines produce no signifcant impacts. Our results show that the impacts on real estate values of the metro system in Naples are signifcant, with corresponding external benefts estimated at about 7.2 billion euros or about 8.5% of the total value of real estate assets. 1. Introduction lower environmental impacts produced by less use of private cars, investments in transit systems, especially in railways Urban transit systems play a fundamental role for the social and metros, may generate an appreciable increase in property and economic development of large urban areas, as well as values in the zones served; this beneft should be explicitly signifcantly afecting the quality of life in such areas.

  • Particulate Matter Concentrations in a New Section of Metro Line: a Case Study in Italy
    Computers in Railways XIV 523 Particulate Matter concentrations in a new section of metro line: a case study in Italy A. Cartenì1 & S. Campana2 1Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering, University of Naples Federico II, Italy 2Department of Industrial Engineering and Information, Second University of Naples, Italy Abstract All round the world, many studies have measured elevated concentrations of Particulate Matter (PM) in underground metro systems, with non-negligible implications for human health due to protracted exposition to fine particles. Starting from this consideration, the aim of this research was to investigate what is the “aging time” needed to measure high PM concentrations also in new stations of an underground metro line. This was possible taking advantage of the opening, in December 2013, of a new section of the Naples (Italy) line 1 railways. The Naples underground metro line 1 before December 31 was long – about 13 km with 14 stations. The new section, opened in December, consists of 5 new kilometres of line and 3 new stations. During the period December 2013– January 2014, an extensive sampling survey was conducted to measure PM10 concentrations both in the “historical” stations and in the “new” ones. The results of the study are twofold: a) the PM10 concentrations measured in the historical stations confirm the average values of literature; b) just a few days after the opening of the new metro section, high PM10 concentrations were also measured in the new stations with average PM10 values comparable (from a statistical point of view) with those measured in the historical stations of the line.

Historically smaller cities that did not develop early public transit networks are less concentrated today and have prime locations farther away from their historic cores. We rationalize these findings in an agent-based model that features extreme agglomeration, multiple equilibria, and path dependence. Both city size and public transit networks anchor city structure. Exploiting major disasters and using a novel instrument—subway potential—we provide causal evidence for these mechanisms and disentangle size- from transport network effects. JEL-Codes: R380, R520, R580. Keywords: prime services, internal city structure, agent-based model, multiple equilibria and path dependence, transport networks. Gabriel M.

Het afbouwcontract van de Noord/Zuidlijn wordt ook wel het TT&A contract (Transporttechniek en Afbouw) genoemd. Het betrof 10 kilometer tweesporig spoor, en 7 stations. De totale oppervlakte van de stations die weden gerealiseerd is 28.854 m2 bvo. Het tracé loopt dwars door het hart van Amsterdam, en verbind daarmee Amsterdam Noord met Amsterdam Zuid. Van het Buikslotermeerplein in Amsterdam-Noord (bij de ring A10) tot aan station Zuid in de middenberm van de A10, net voorbij de RAI. Aan het station Zuid is aangesloten op de bestaande Amstelveenlijn. Het tracé Het tracé passeert bekende punten zoals het IJ, Centraal Station en Rokin. De totale lengte van het tracé is circa 10 kilometer met twee sporen Feiten & cijfers waarvan circa 7,1 kilometer aan ondergrondse verbinding. Voor het RAI complex loopt het traject nog ondergronds, maar daarna wordt het Plaats bovengronds om aan te sluiten bij station Zuid.
