  • Countdown to Launch of France's First Urban Cable
    International Edition – 14 November 2016 Countdown to launch of France’s first urban cable car On Saturday 19 November, Keolis will launch France’s first urban cable car in the city of Brest in north-west Brittany. The system features the vertical crossing of cabins – a world first – and will link the left bank station, situated on a hill above the naval base, to the right bank station located inside the Ateliers des Capucins. The new Capucins eco-district, structured around former French Navy workshops, will house shops and restaurants as well as cultural and leisure facilities. The cable car is operated automatically and the system is supervised by Keolis Brest teams at the Bibus network control room. The two, 60-passenger cabins provide breath-taking views of the harbour during the three- minute crossing over the river Penfeld. This new, economical and environmentally-friendly urban transport mode will be integrated into the city’s existing public transport network, and passengers can access the tram, bus and cable car with a single Bibus transport ticket. Contact: [email protected] Operational Excellence AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND Germany: Quality Week 24-28 October as well as the addition of CCTV and a roof. Over 60 cycle surgeries have been held at stations across G:link trackside at the network: a total of 1,332 bikes were security marked and 397 high security bike locks were GC600 Super Car Championship given to passengers, contributing to a 19% reduction in cycle crime network-wide.

  • Parramatta Light Rail Fact Sheet
    Fact sheet Enabling Works We’re building the Parramatta Light Rail, one of the NSW Government’s major infrastructure projects to serve a growing Sydney. In early 2019, you will start to notice some changes to Parramatta roads and traffic intersections as we prepare for construction. The Parramatta Light Rail project team will continue to keep you updated before and during the work. LATE 2018 2019 2023 • ENABLING WORKS SITE • MAIN ENABLING WORKS BEGIN • STAGE 1 BEGINS OPERATING INVESTIGATIONS BEGIN • MAJOR CONSTRUCTION BEGINS Enabling Works ‘Enabling Works’ is the term used for construction works such as the relocation of underground utilities, the modification or installation of traffic lights, road widening, the redirection of traffic flows and changes to parking, to modify and improve the capacity of the existing traffic network. The Parramatta Light Rail team will engage with residents and local businesses to communicate changes to property access as a result of the changes. Why is this work being done? Transport for NSW is conducting these works to enable the building and operation of Parramatta Light Rail Stage 1, and to mitigate the impacts of construction. Most of the Parramatta Light Rail Enabling Works What is Parramatta Light Rail? are being undertaken along roads that do not form part of the Parramatta Light Rail route. The works are Stage 1 of Parramatta Light Rail will connect intended to increase road capacity to ensure traffic Westmead to Carlingford, via Parramatta CBD can move in and around the Parramatta area during and Camellia.

Sveučilište u Zagrebu Fakultet prometnih znanosti ZAVRŠNI RAD ANALIZA TEHNIČKO – EKSPLOATACIJSKIH ZNAČAJKI TRAMVAJA ANALYSIS OF TECHNICAL AND EXPLOITATION FEAUTERS OF TRAMS Mentor: doc. dr. sc. Željko Šarić Student: Maja Ćuk JMBAG: 0135210885 Zagreb, svibanj 2018. SAŽETAK U ovom završnom radu analizirale su se tehničko-eksploatacijske značajke tramvaja. Također, navedeni su i različiti svijetski primjeri prijevoza putnika u javnom gradskom prometu kao što su autobusni prijevoz, trolejbusni, tramvajski, metro, uspinjača, taksi.... Razlike među navedenim sustavima su velike, a najviše se očituju u prijevoznoj sposobnosti, brzini te količini financijskih ulaganja koja su potrebna za njihovo uvođenje. Funkcioniranje prometa ovisi i o strukturi i veličini grada. Javni gradski prijevoz u Zagrebu uključuje podsustave za čije je funkcioniranje uglavnom odgovoran Zagrebački električni tramvaj (ZET). Svaki od podsustava javnog prijevoza u gradu Zagrebu ima svoja obilježja i način na koji pruža uslugu prijevoza građanima. Najveći podsustav u Zagrebu je tramvajski sustav. Cilj analize ovog tramvajskog sustava je pružiti sigurnost, udobnost i točnost kako bi svi tramvajski putnici stigli na svoja planirana odredišta u planirano vrijeme te kako bi korisnici javnog prijevoza bili zadovoljni uslugom vožnje. Kako bi se poboljšao sustav javnog prijevoza u Zagrebu i u budućnosti, bitno je redovito nastaviti pratiti i analizirati prometne i tehničke karakteristike tramvajskog sustava u gradu Zagrebu. KLJUČNE RIJEČI: tehničko-eksplotacijske značajke tramvaja, javni gradski prijevoz u Zagrebu, podsustavi javnog prijevoza SUMMARY In this final thesis were analysed technical-exploitation features of trams. Also, in this final thesis are mentioned different world-wide examples od city public transportation systems like bus transport, trolley-bus, water-bus, tram, metro, funiculars, taxis..

  • Saarbahn Mit Einsystemfahrzeugen Und Elektrifizierung Von Lücken
    G. Stengel: Schienenverkehr 21.08.2018 Seite 1/4 Schienenverkehr in der Region: Saarbahn mit Einsystemfahrzeugen und Elektrifizierung von Lücken Inhalt Saarbahn mit Einsystemfahrzeugen 1 Saarbahn endet in Brebach 2 Saarbrücken Hbf - Saargemünd mit RB (15 KV) 2 RB bis Wadgassen 3 Saarbrücken - Illingen - Lebach 3 Saarbrücken - Zweibrücken 3 Streckenkombinationen 3 Nahestrecke elektrifizieren 3 Niedtalbahn elektrifizieren 3 Elektrifizierung von Bahnstrecken allgemein 4 Quellen 4 Zielsetzung 4 Saarbahn mit Einsystemfahrzeugen Das Konzept von Klimmt/Ried 2010, modifiziert und erweitert von Ried/Stengel 2014 beschäftigt sich mit der Erweiterung der bestehenden Saarbahnlinie (TramTrain, Stadtbahn). Nach Neuordnung der Gleise im Bereich der Achterbrücke wäre eine vom Fernverkehr getrennte TramTrain-Trasse möglich. Ferner könnten die vorhandenen Trassen links der Saar in einen kleinen Ring über Grossrosseln bis nach Forbach und einen großen Ring über Wadgassen - Überherrn einbezogen werden. Gewissermaßen ein Nebeneffekt dieser Überlegungen war die Erkenntnis, dass die bislang eingesetzten in Anschaffung und Betrieb teuren Zweisystemfahrzeuge nur für Teilstrecken benötigt werden. Die 15 KV- Bahnstromtechnik ist bei vielen Fahrten nur auf dem Abschnitt Römerkastell - Brebach und zukünftig, d.h. nach Elektrifizierung der Bahnstrecke bis Lebach, auf dem Abschnitt Lebach - Lebach-Jabach erforderlich. Nur für die Fahrten bis Hanweiler bzw. Saargemünd ist die Zweisystemtechnik auf einer längeren Strecke erforderlich. Um bei einem Großteil der Fahrten auch 750 V-Fahrzeuge einsetzen zu können, wurde in Ried/Stengel 2014 vorgeschlagen, die Linien an der Haltestelle Römerkastell enden zu lassen und von dort einen Zugang zur Werkstatt unter der Brücke durch über die Brebacher Landstraße zu bauen. Damit können auch Fördergelder für den Brückenbau gesichert werden. G. Stengel: Schienenverkehr 21.08.2018 Seite 2/4 Saarbahn endet in Brebach Einen Schritt weiter geht folgender Vorschlag: Das Durchgangsgleis 2 wird in Brebach komplett abgebaut.
