  • Technological Evolution of Manila Light Rail Transit System
    International Journal of Advanced Science and Technology Vol.89 (2016), pp.9-16 http://dx.doi.org/10.14257/ijast.2016.89.02 Technological Evolution of Manila Light Rail Transit System Tomas U. Ganiron Jr IAENG, Hongkong College of Architecture, Qassim University, Buraidah City Tomasuganironjr@gmail.com Abstract This study focuses on the different elements of Manila Light Rail Transit System Line 1 in Metro Manila with the aim of characterizing its technological evolution and putting in context its impact in terms of what it is best designed for and what it can deliver. The study provides the concept of understanding the recent operation and developmental resolutions that the management of LRTA line 1 is providing as a preparation to uplift the socio-economic conditions of the commuters. Through the application of technology and scientific principles by means of transportation engineering for managing the facilities of the LRTA line 1 system, the system can provide safer, more rapid, more convenient, economic and environmental friendly way of transportation for the increasing demand of commuters. However, LRT 1 is best designed to substitute conventional railway services on routes where much higher capacity is required and to reduce travel time, further improving the railway service, also against other modes, therefore leading to mode substitution. Keywords: Highway engineering, railway transit, road engineering, transportation engineering 1. Introduction The traffic jams in Manila are staggering. Only a few traffic lights often disregarded separate the combatants. Every one force his way across the junctions, thus blocking everyone else and so the government decided to find a solution.

  • Pedestrian Simulation of Metro Rail Transit (Mrt) Line 7 Station 1-North Avenue Station, Quezon City, Philippines
    International Journal of GEOMATE, Feb., 2020, Vol.18, Issue 66, pp.156-162 ISSN: 2186-2982 (P), 2186-2990 (O), Japan, DOI: https://doi.org/10.21660/2020.96320 Geotechnique, Construction Materials and Environment PEDESTRIAN SIMULATION OF METRO RAIL TRANSIT (MRT) LINE 7 STATION 1-NORTH AVENUE STATION, QUEZON CITY, PHILIPPINES Romnick P. De Los Reyes1, Marloe B. Sundo2 and *Marish S. Madlangbayan2 1Sustainable Transport & Infrastructure Development Consulting, Inc., Philippines; 2Department of Civil Engineering, University of the Philippines Los Baños, Philippines *Corresponding Author, Received: 26 Sept. 2019, Revised: 14 Dec. 2019, Accepted: 31 Dec. 2019 ABSTRACT: Simulation of pedestrian flow represents an advanced approach in modeling and evaluating train stations. In this study, pedestrian simulation was done using the simulation software Simio to assess the passenger capacity of MRT 7 Station 1-North Avenue Station through level of service (LOS), queuing system, and train facility utilization. This paper presents the actual situation inside the train station while predicting the behavior of queuing pedestrians and provides an accurate estimate of the volume-to-capacity ratio of passengers entering the station. The study’s approach debugged the conventional assignments of pedestrians currently used in the field. The constructed three-dimensional building of the North Avenue Station served as framework for the simulation. Sources, sinks, servers, and paths of the software were the main elements of the simulation. Each library was defined by their time usage based on data gathered. Time usages of 1.21 sec. and 240 sec. for sources and sinks, respectively, were used in the simulation. Servers were defined by the train facilities utilized in the simulation, namely, automatic ticketing machines (TVM) with time usage of 43 seconds, ticketing toll gates with 1.4 seconds, and manual ticketing windows (BOM) with 20 seconds.

  • 1 the Cost of Fare-Free Public Transit in the COVID Economy
    The Cost of Fare-Free Public Transit in the COVID Economy: Looking into the Case of the EDSA Carousel Bus System in the Philippines Ivan Harris Tanyag University of the Philippines, Diliman (itanyag@up.edu.ph) Abstract Transportation costs in public transit are usually fixed to provide mobility to the largest segment of the public. Subsidies are also provided in the form of discounts to students, the elderly, and persons with disabilities. Operators are subjected to follow a fare matrix based on the travel distance between two points. Subsidizing the full transportation costs would require the government to allot funding to cover the operation costs. Businesses may also provide free transit, though most of their operation is funded through corporate sponsorships. Only a few cities in the world currently operate on this scheme, most likely due to the resistance against fare-free public transit policies (FFPT). In the Philippines, this was introduced in a newly-built bus rapid transit (BRT) throughout the Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA), one of the major thoroughfares in Metro Manila during the onslaught of the coronavirus pandemic. This paper analyzes the contributory effect of an FFPT in the country's economy through a cost-benefit analysis. As most of the stations throughout the bus line are found in central business districts across the region, it has incentivized workers who heavily depend on public transit. It has also increased the level of mobility throughout the area, thus increasing the household consumption made. However, it has affected other public transit in the area, such as the Metro Rail Transit (MRT-3), whose operation also relies on government expenditures.
