However, traffic measurements are undertaken only for a part ofthe Clustering road network with minor roads usually excluded. This paper suggests a methodology to estimate AADT in K-prototypes England and Wales applicable across the full road network, so that traffic for both major and minor roads canbe Support Vector Regression (SVR) approximated. This is achieved by consolidating clustering and regression modelling and using a comprehensive Random Forest set of variables related to roadway, socioeconomic and land use characteristics. The methodological output GIS reveals traffic patterns across urban and rural areas as well as produces accurate results for all roadclasses. Support Vector Regression (SVR) and Random Forest (RF) are found to outperform the traditional Linear Regression, although the findings suggest that data clustering is key for significant reduction in prediction errors. 1. Introduction boundaries of urban areas (e.g. Doustmohammadi and Anderson, 2016; Kim et al., 2016), or on particular types of roads (e.g. Caceres et al., 2012). Annual average daily traffic (AADT) is a measure of road traffic Secondly, most studies estimate AADT on major roads, while minor roads flow, defined as the average number of vehicles at a given location over are repeatedly excluded, with only a few studies incorporating them (e.g.

    Stakeholder Reopening Update – May 2021

    STAKEHOLDER REOPENING UPDATE | 14 MAY 2021 BIRMINGHAM WESTSIDE METRO EXTENSION Progress photos - May 2021 What businesses can expect when they return on 17 May 2021 From Monday 17 May, indoor hospitality venues and attractions along Broad Street will be welcoming back customers as England enters the next stage of the Government’s Covid-19 roadmap out of lockdown. The Midland Metro Alliance have continued to work closely with partners at Transport for West Midlands (TfWM), Birmingham City Council and Westside BID to ensure the area is ready to accommodate the safe return of customers. A considerable amount of activity took place in the weeks preceding 12 April when venues were planning to open for outdoor service, and, despite inclement weather, finishing works have been ongoing throughout April and May allowing additional outdoor space to be provided to venues who are reopening their doors next Monday to welcome customers again. Just past the edge of Broad Street, on the way to Edgbaston, another milestone for the project was reached last month with the final tracks for the Birmingham Westside Metro extension welded into place signalling that the project is truly entering its final stages (see overleaf). We recognise that every business is different and you may have some specific questions about our activities as you continue to plan your re-opening. You are able to get in touch with Shervorne Brown, your dedicated Stakeholder Liaison Officer, on the details on the last page.

  • £56 Million Package to Support Light Rail Through Recovery Period

    £56 Million Package to Support Light Rail Through Recovery Period

    £56 million package to support light rail through recovery period July 16, 2021 Light rail operators across England will benefit from up to £56 million in government funding to help ensure they continue to run vital services as coronavirus (COVID-19) restrictions are lifted, Transport Minister Baroness Vere has announced today (16 July 2021). The funding will run from 20 July to April 2022, and will support the following operators across the north and the Midlands: Manchester Metrolink Tyne and Wear Metro Sheffield Supertram Nottingham Express Transit West Midlands Metro Blackpool Tramway It comes as the government invests billions of pounds to build back better from the pandemic and improve transport links across the country. Transport Minister Baroness Vere said: “Light rail and tram services provide an essential service in our towns and cities, ensuring people can get to work, school or to see friends and family. “This £56 million funding package will allow operators to keep running these vital services as normal in those initial months, as restrictions are lifted and passengers begin to return in higher numbers.” Chief Secretary to the Treasury Steve Barclay said: “As our economy reopens, we’re continuing to support people and businesses – and making sure people can get to work and use public transport easily is crucial. “Today’s funding means that thousands of people across England can continue to travel on public transport when they need to, and regular services can continue as the country comes out of restrictions.” Andy Street, the Mayor of the West Midlands, said: “Our West Midlands Metro service has operated throughout the pandemic and has seen patronage return very quickly each time restrictions have been lifted.

  • Finished Vehicle Logistics by Rail in Europe

    Finished Vehicle Logistics by Rail in Europe

    Finished Vehicle Logistics by Rail in Europe Version 3 December 2017 This publication was prepared by Oleh Shchuryk, Research & Projects Manager, ECG – the Association of European Vehicle Logistics. Foreword The project to produce this book on ‘Finished Vehicle Logistics by Rail in Europe’ was initiated during the ECG Land Transport Working Group meeting in January 2014, Frankfurt am Main. Initially, it was suggested by the members of the group that Oleh Shchuryk prepares a short briefing paper about the current status quo of rail transport and FVLs by rail in Europe. It was to be a concise document explaining the complex nature of rail, its difficulties and challenges, main players, and their roles and responsibilities to be used by ECG’s members. However, it rapidly grew way beyond these simple objectives as you will see. The first draft of the project was presented at the following Land Transport WG meeting which took place in May 2014, Frankfurt am Main. It received further support from the group and in order to gain more knowledge on specific rail technical issues it was decided that ECG should organise site visits with rail technical experts of ECG member companies at their railway operations sites. These were held with DB Schenker Rail Automotive in Frankfurt am Main, BLG Automotive in Bremerhaven, ARS Altmann in Wolnzach, and STVA in Valenton and Paris. As a result of these collaborations, and continuous research on various rail issues, the document was extensively enlarged. The document consists of several parts, namely a historical section that covers railway development in Europe and specific EU countries; a technical section that discusses the different technical issues of the railway (gauges, electrification, controlling and signalling systems, etc.); a section on the liberalisation process in Europe; a section on the key rail players, and a section on logistics services provided by rail.
