I didn’t want to embark on a product where there were too many first-of-a-kinds,” he explained.

  • National Code of Practice
    I SEPTEMBER 2007 NATIONAL CODE OF PRACTICE Retrofitting Passenger Restraints to Buses Prepared by Vehicle Design & Research National Transport Commission National Code of Practice for Retrofitting Passenger Restraints in Buses Report Prepared by: Vehicle & Design Research ISBN: 1 921168 04 8 2 NATIONAL CODE OF PRACTICE: RETROFITTING PASSENGER RESTRAINTS TO BUSES FOREWORD The National Transport Commission (NTC) is a statutory body established by an inter-governmental agreement to progress regulatory and operational reform for road, rail and inter-modal transport to deliver and sustain uniform or nationally consistent outcomes. Following the research that was commissioned for the NSW Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) into the retrofitting of seatbelts for buses and coaches, as well as advice from the Bus Industry Confederation, it was concluded that the original guidelines (“Guidelines for the Voluntary Modification of Existing Buses and Coaches to Improve Occupant Protection”) needed to be revised. These guidelines were originally developed in 1994 by the National Road Transport Commission, the Federal Office of Road Safety and the Australian Bus and Coach Association. The NTC led the review and a Bus Seatbelts Steering Committee was involved in providing key input and overall direction on the review. A Code of Practice, which is intended to replace the original guidelines, has been prepared. It sets out requirements for modification of existing buses with the intention of improving occupant protection in crashes. The Code of Practice has been endorsed by the Bus Seatbelts Steering Committee and by Transport Agency Chief Executives after a period of public/stakeholder consultation. It was approved by the Australian Transport Council in August, 2007.

  • Buses – Global Market Trends
    2017 BUSES – GLOBAL MARKET TRENDS Markets – Competition – Companies – Key Figures Extract from the study BUSES – GLOBAL MARKET TRENDS Markets – Competition – Companies – Key figures In all regions across the globe, buses remain the most widespread public transport mode. Their demand goes hand in hand with several, mostly region-specific factors, including demographics, increasing mobility of people and environmental awareness, as well as public funding. Buses are comparatively to other transportation modes cheap and easy to use, since their use does not necessarily require the implementation of a specific infrastructure. This makes buses ideal vehicles for both short- and long-distance services. Based on the current developments, this Multi Client Study offers a comprehensive insight into the structure, volumes and development trends of the worldwide bus market. In concrete terms, the market study “BUSES – GLOBAL MARKET TRENDS” includes: A look at the worldwide market for buses differentiated by region An analysis of the relevant market data including present and future market volumes Information concerning the installed fleet and future procurement potential until 2022 An assessment of current developments and growth drivers of the worldwide bus markets in the individual regions An overview of bus manufacturers including an analysis of the market shares, financial backups as well as a brief description of the current product portfolio and strategy outlook A list of the major production facilities in each of the regions including product range as well as production capacities Presentation of the development stage of alternative propulsions, their manufacturers and their occurrence worldwide The study is available in English from the August 2017 at the price of EUR 3,400 plus VAT.

  • Digital Starting Blocks: the Sydney Metro Experience Samantha Mcwilliam1, Damien Cutcliffe2 1&2WSP, Sydney, AUSTRALIA Corresponding Author: [email protected]
    Digital starting blocks: The Sydney Metro experience Samantha McWilliam1, Damien Cutcliffe2 1&2WSP, Sydney, AUSTRALIA Corresponding Author: [email protected] SUMMARY Sydney Metro is currently Australia’s biggest public transport project. Stage 1 and 2 of this new standalone railway will ultimately deliver 31 metro stations and more than 66 kilometres of new metro rail, revolutionising the way Australia’s biggest city travels. Once it is extended into the central business district (CBD) and beyond in 2024, metro rail will run from Sydney’s booming North West region under Sydney Harbour, through new underground stations in the CBD and beyond to the south west. Sydney Metro City and Southwest (Stage 2) features twin 15.5km tunnels along with 7 new underground stations between Chatswood and Sydenham. The line is extended beyond Sydenham with an upgrade of the existing Sydney Trains heavy rail line to Bankstown. The adoption of a digital engineering approach on the Sydney Metro City and Southwest project resulted in an unprecedented level of collaboration and engagement between designers, clients and stakeholders. The use of tools such as WSP’s bespoke web based GIS spatial data portal Sitemap allowed geographically mapped data to be made securely available to all stakeholders involved on the project, enabling the team to work off a common data set while simultaneously controlling/restricting access to sensitive data. Over the course of the project this portal was enhanced to act as a gateway to all other digital content developed for such as live digital design models, virtual reality and augmented reality content. This portal was the prototype for what is now called ‘WSP Create’.
