  • PPP Projects in Israel
    PPP Projects in Israel Last update: January, 2021 PPP Projects in Israel 1) General Overview The current scope of infrastructure investment in the State of Israel is significantly lower than comparable PPP in Projects Israel countries around the world. This gap can be seen in traffic congestion and the low percentage of electricity production from renewable energy. Therefore, in 2017, Israel’s Minister of Finance appointed an inter-ministerial team to establish a national strategic plan in order to advance and expand investments in infrastructure projects. According to the team's conclusions, while in OECD countries the stock of economic infrastructure (transportation, water and energy) forms 71% of the GDP; in Israel it constitutes only 50% of the GDP. 1 PPP PROJECTS (Public Private Partnership) One of the main recommendations of the team was to substantially increase the investment in infrastructure by 2030. According to the team's evaluation, Such projects feature long-term where the present scope of infrastructure investments is maintained, the agreements between the State and a concessioner: the public sector existing gap from the rest of the world will further grow; in order to reach transfers to the private sector the the global average, a considerable increase of the infrastructure investments responsibility for providing a public in Israel is required through 2030. infrastructure, product or service, PPP in Projects Israel The team further recommended to, inter alia: develop a national including the design, construction, financing, operation and infrastructure strategy for Israel; improve statutory procedures; establish maintenance, in return for payments new financing tools for infrastructure investments and adjust regulation in based on predefined criteria.

  • ELAL Guide to Haifa Israel Frequent Flyer Club
    2 Flight Status Australia EN Passenger Information TravelELAL guide to Haifa Israel Frequent Flyer Club Login Accessibility Haifa​​​​ - A Thriving Hub of Cultures, History, and Scenery Haifa, the third largest city in Israel, and the largest one in northern Israel, is a thriving hub of cultures, history, and some of the country’s most beautiful scenery. Built along the Mediterranean and atop the Carmel Range, Haifa is dripping with greenery and natural flora and fauna anywhere you look. Get To Know Haifa Since ancient times and up until today, Haifa is one of the country’s two main port towns, with much of the Israel’s imported goods passing through its gates. Haifa’s geographical conditions - plain by the sea and hilly and steep as you head up; divide the city into two main parts - downtown and uptown, both internally divided again into many different suburbs and neighborhoods. Each area of Haifa is uniquely characterized - the city’s downtown, in close proximity to the port, is much more industrial, grubby and commerce-oriented, yet full of some of the city’s best restaurants, pubs and night clubs. Predominantly Arab, this authentic part of town preserved some of its historical nature, both in its culture and its architecture; beautiful, old, dilapidated buildings dating back to the Ottoman Empire years, are dotted all throughout, amidst some of Israel’s finest Arab restaurants and eateries. As you head up towards the city's uptown part, the stunning scenery of Haifa’s Bay is revealed in all its glory. The city’s uptown neighborhoods are relatively newer, most of which are draped in local flora and fauna, making for beautiful drives around the city, as well as a green balance for the heavy pollution downtown.

  • Manasra H. and Toledo T., Optimization-Based Operations
    Transportation Research Part C 105 (2019) 456–467 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Transportation Research Part C journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/trc Optimization-based operations control for public transportation service with transfers T ⁎ Hend Manasra , Tomer Toledo Technion, Israel Institute of Technology, Israel ABSTRACT This research develops a real-time simulation-based control framework that attempts to coordinate the operations of public transportation services to allow smoother transfers and to maintain service regularity. The control actions, which include holding and change speed, are set as the solution of an optimization problem with the objective to minimize total passengers’ time in the system within a prediction horizon. The prediction horizon is defined by a number of downstream stops and subsequent buses. The predictions made include the arrival and departure times ofvehiclesat downstream stops and the passenger demands they are expected to serve. The model is demonstrated with a case study of three lines of the BRT system in Haifa, Israel. The results show that the model outperforms headway control and no-control alternatives in terms of total passengers’ time and on-time performance. It is only slightly worst then the headway control in terms of waiting times and denied boarding at stops. The combination of holding and change speed actions provides substantially better results than each of them individually. 1. Introduction Efficient public transportation systems (PTS) are essential for the provision of sustainable and high-quality mobility inurban areas. Planning agencies worldwide are investing in the design and operation of these systems. However, even an optimally designed PTS may not perform as expected due to service disruptions, road incidents, fluctuations in demand and other unexpected events.
