A Method Using GIS Integrated Voronoi Diagrams for Commuter Rail Station Identification: A Case Study from Brasilia (Brazil)

This article describes a station location method for a commuter rail system applying a GIS integrated Voronoi diagrams. The method comes from a previously defined track line and considers the stations area coverage. As parameters to define area coverage we first used the point density representing the maximum concentrated activity area. We also use the trip generating rate weights for point density. The method was applied to Brasilia Metropolitan Area, and the final product was a “T” Trunk-Feeder framework that allows an integrated transportation system planning considering others existing transit systems. The stations were classified according to their degree of activities density and its importance for integration. The “T” Trunk-Feeder is a representation of the commuter rail network and the Trunk-Distribution is the transport network responsible for distributing the passengers in central business district - CDB. The proposed model features 69km extension, with the estimated total travel time of 62minutes, and 17 stations being integrated into 2 metro, 4 integrated into LRT stations and 3 integrated into the bus stops.

Research on the GISDK-Based Prediction System of Integrated Transport Demand

in the traditional prediction system of integrated transport, various modes of transport are predicted individually, thus they are independent of the integrated transport system due to the lack of connection, so the prediction results are relatively large. Therefore, this paper proposes the two-stage prediction method based on the integrated transport OD survey, including the prediction of the integrated transport OD matrix generation of the status quo and the distribution of integrated transport demand. Then it utilizes the GISDK development tools to develop a prediction system for the integrated transport demand in the TransCAD platform.

Calculation and Evaluation Methodology of Transport Energy Consumption and Carbon Emissions: A Case Study of Jiangsu Province

The calculation methodology of transport carbon emissions, based on the methodology recommended by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the energy consumption statistics of provincial transport industry in China, is proposed. By using the methodology, the energy consumption and carbon emissions of highway, waterway and urban passenger transport from 2005 to 2012 of Jiangsu Province are calculated and evaluated. And the developing trends and main features from the perspectives of the total amount of transport energy consumption and carbon emissions, the proportional of both various energy types and various transport modes in the energy consumption, the energy intensity and carbon dioxide intensity, are systematically analyzed. Finally, some policy implications of low-carbon transport development were conclusively put forward, including reducing energy intensity and carbon intensity as the core focus, the highway transport as the breakthrough point, optimizing the integrated transport system structure and developing of public transport in priority as the strategic orientation, developing clean and low-carbon energy as an important way, etc. The research methodology and results can provide references for decision-making and management of the relevant provinces and cities on low-carbon transport development.

(Russian Arctic Development Strategy and New Possibility for Korea-Russia Cooperation)

Korean Abstract: 지구온난화에 따른 기후변화로 이제 3개의 대륙에 걸쳐 있고 2개의 대양과 맞닿아 있는 북극은 더 이상 혹독한 날씨와 두꺼운 얼음이 지배하는 공간이 아니다. 기후변화로 인한 부정적 결과에도 불구하고, 에너지 자원의 대안적인 공급처이자 새로운 해상 교역로로 부상한 북극의 개발과 이용에 북극해 연안국뿐만 아니라 비연안국들의 관심도 집중되고 있다. 그리고 이러한 지정ㆍ지경학적 변화에 능동적으로 대처하는 국가만이 지속적인 경제성장을 위한 새로운 동력을 확보하는 기회를 얻게 될 것이다. 따라서 2013년 5월 한국이 북극이사회 상시 옵서버 자격 획득을 통해 북극 문제 논의에 참여할 기회를 얻게 되고, 2013년 7월 해양수산부가 관계부처 합동으로 ‘북극 종합정책 추진계획’을 발표한 것은 고무적인 일이라 할 수 있다. 이제 한국도 기후변화의 영향에 지속해서 관심을 기울이는 것은 물론, 북극의 잠재력을 재인식하고, 투자 기회를 포착하며, 극지에 적합한 기술 개발에도 적극 나서야 할 것이다.북극해 비연안국인 한국이 북극의 개발과 이용에 참여하기란 결코 쉽지 않다. 경계획정 문제에서 잘 드러나듯이, 기본적으로 북극해 연안국들의 이해관계가 복잡하고, 이것이 첨예한 대립으로 발전할 가능성도 있기 때문이다. 이러한 상황에서 북극지역 국가들과의 관계 증진은 물론, 상호이익을 확보하면서도 평화로운 협력을 수행할 수 있는 과제를 발굴하고 그것을 착실하게 수행하는 것은 국가적 차원에서 중요한 임무가 될 것이다.English Abstract: The Arctic is changing due to global warming. While this poses potential environmental risks, the region is also emerging as a new shipping route and an alternative source of energy supply. Recognizing the enormous potential of the region, both Arctic and non-Arctic countries are devoting increased attention to the use and development of the area. Korea, a non-littoral nation, also is moving quickly to involve itself in Arctic issues. Namely, it received permanent observer status at the Arctic Council in May 2013 and adopted the “Comprehensive Arctic Plan” in July.In fact, participation in activities in the Arctic is an arduous task for a non-Arctic country under the current Arctic governance regime. However, Korea, an energy-and-trade-dependent economy, is seeing new opportunities, because the opening of the Arctic provides an irresistible attraction. In order to actively participate in the Arctic, Korea needs to take part in tackling relevant global issues, such as environmental protection and preservation, development of technology applicable to the Arctic, etc. as a member of the global community. Building and maintaining close relationships with relevant countries should be sought as well.In this context, cooperation with Russia, in particular regarding the Arctic, has significant meaning to Korea for the following reasons. First, the majority of hydrocarbon resources in the region lay in the Russian Arctic region. Since Russia is developing fields for exploitation of energy resources through international cooperation, Korea needs to consider ways to participate in such projects. Second, when using the Northern Sea Route, it is inevitable that shipping pass through waters under the authority of the Russian Federation and employ Russian facilities, such as ports and ice-breakers. In addition, the Russian government’s plans to establish infrastructure for the development of the region including an integrated transport system and ICT network may provide chances to Korean investors. Third, Russia is an influential participant in Arctic governance such as the Arctic Council, BEAC, etc. Thus, closer cooperation with Russia can make Korea‘s participation in Arctic governance much easier.In this report, the following measures are suggested in order to strengthen cooperation with Russia. First, apart from the “Comprehensive Arctic Plan,” an “Extensive Cooperation Strategy toward Russia” should be devised. The document needs to encompass all possible forms of collaboration and opinions of experts regarding Arctic issues. Second, establishment of an “Arctic Cooperation Committee” under the Korea-Russia Joint Commission on Economic, Scientific and Technological Cooperation and “Korea-Russia Joint Arctic Research Center” will be helpful in developing constructive bilateral cooperation. All Arctic-related topics between the two nations can be discussed within the Committee and the Center will take a role as a think-tank on Arctic issues. Third, creation of Asia-Pacific-Arctic Council modeled on the Barents Euro-Arctic Council jointly with Russia will help intensify regional cooperation. Through this system, Korea may have more chances to engage in the Arctic issues earnestly as an active member. Fourth, the opening of the Arctic provides investment opportunities for Korean companies. Participating in consortium or joint investment projects, and technological cooperation with Russian organizations can be viable ways to become involved in the Arctic. Since Russia’s dilapidated ports require new construction or maintenance, investing in relevant projects could also be considered. Fifth, various civil and academic exchange programs will contribute to nurturing Arctic specialists, extending cooperation with indigenous peoples, and raising Korea’s image as a trustworthy partner in the Arctic for the long term.

SPEED COMMUTER-URBAN RAIL TRANSPORT

Transport crisis in the cities has become a ubiquitous problem. In Russia, the situation is deteriorated by the absence of the methodology of conceptual design of integrated transport systems in general, and the city-street-speed railway as part of the system. To mitigate this situation, two methodological tasks have been proposed: 1) the relevance of the use of the existing rail network in the city in order to solve the transport crisis and provide the simultaneous increase of its efficiency; 2) a way of organizing a relatively short speed transportation of passengers on the ground of the rail system of urban trains similarly to S- Bahn (Stadtschnellbahn). 1 Logistic approach to the formation of public transport Slogan of times was the integration in everything and everywhere, including public transport. Globalization, which is expressed in the transport sector through inter/multimodality, even in times of crisis and the economic downturn has changed the structure of passenger flows at all levels of transport communications. It has brought to a change in the methods of calculation of passenger traffic, the destination routing traffic and the organization of their technology. Passenger service of all types of transport communication (about 15) should be based on an integrated platform of innovative transportation systems of the two levels. Macrosystems: intermodal, international, long- distance and non-urban transport; microsystems: multimodal, commuter-urban and short transport, which further considered in details. The main type of transport service in microsystem cities and agglomerations should be multifunctional rail transport. Multidimensional solution of the transport problem requires the creation of the intelligent transport and logistics system (ITLS). Passenger logistics in the city should be based on well-developed public transport infrastructure (e.g. rail and vehicles, roads, rail and street ground transportation of all kinds, land and intermodal intercity corridors, ring roads and speed diameters). Urban passenger logistics of inter/multimodal nature should objectively determine the optimal segments of the market of certain types of transport mode and their integration into the end-to-end passenger service system.

„Hier eröffnete sich vor unseren Augen ein neues, schillerndes, von uns noch nirgendwo gesehenes Bild...“ Die gedankliche Neuvermessung des Zarenreiches im Eisenbahnzeitalter

The paper deals with discourses of mental mapping in Russia in the second half of the 19th century. The focus is on the reports of Russian railway passengers who wrote down their impressions of the travelled territory in corresponding texts. The travel reports are analysed as case studies documenting these journeys through the western provinces of the Russian Empire. It is suggested that the construction and use of railroads in the 19th century contributed significantly to the integration of nation-states and empires in the sense of their “territorialisation” (Charles Maier). Using the example of the Russian Empire, it will be shown that the construction and use of the railway had both integrative and disintergrative effects in terms of the representation of Russia in the mental maps of Russian travellers. The spatial experience of an integrated transportation system evoked notions of Russia as a large, indivisible whole. At the same time the railroad created completely new opportunities to personally experience the cultural frontiers within the multi-ethnic Empire. This promoted not only the pride felt in the size of the Empire but fears about the foreign in one’s own country. In the western regions of the Russian Empire these experiences were made above all in encounters with the Jewish population in colonized districts.

The Potential of ITS to Enhance Co-modality and Decarbonise Passenger Transport in Europe

Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) are expected to provide valuable contributions to a more integrated and sustainable passenger transport system in the future. In this paper we studied the potential role three ITS applications (personalised travel information, car sharing schemes and mobile payment devices) could have in enhancing co-modality and decarbonising EU passenger transport. Based on a thorough review of existing and planned schemes, the mobility impacts of these ITS applications were estimated for single ‘model’ countries. To estimate the EU-wide decarbonisation potential of the options, a scaling methodology was developed, taking country specific aspects affecting the effectiveness of these schemes into account. The results of our analyses showed that particularly personalised travel information and mobile payment devices could significantly contribute to decarbonising the EU passenger transport system (1 - 3% and 0.5 - 1%, respectively) although the estimated CO2 reduction figures are rather uncertain. Further research on this topic is for that reason highly recommended.

A Psychological Investigation on Public-transport Users’ Intention to Use Routes with Transfers

One of the most common strategies used by authorities to promote ridership of public transport (PT) has been to provide travelers with an integrated multimodal transport system. Effective interconnections are a key element in the success of integrated transport systems. This study seeks to explore the cognitive factors which influence travelers’ willingness to make transfers. The theory of planned behavior (TPB) was adopted to investigate the role of perceived behavioral control (PBC) in travelers’ intentions to use PT routes with transfers. PBC was measured by being decomposed into its constituting elements: self-efficacy and perceived controllability. The effect of travelers’ trip characteristics and socio-demographics on their PBC and intention was assessed. A survey was undertaken in two major transport centers in Auckland, New Zealand. Overall, the analysis demonstrated that the TPB is capable of explaining PT users’ intention to use routes with transfers. Travel patterns related to gender, frequency of PT use and current use of transfer routes were seen to have an effect on intention. PT users need to feel capable (strong PBC) of making the transfers. Authorities need to focus on developing attractive transfer routes with comfortable transfers, from a user perspective, to encourage ridership of PT.

Development of the Nirex Generic Transport Safety Assessment to Assist in the Provision Advice of Waste Packaging

AbstractThe current Nirex mission is to provide the United Kingdom with safe, environmentally sound and publicly acceptable options for the long-term management of radioactive materials. As part of this role, Nirex has developed a phased deep geological disposal concept which is defined by six ‘generic documents’ that describe systems, processes and safety assessments that are not specific to anyone location or geology. These generic documents give access to detailed information about the ideas and approaches that underpin the phased disposal concept, and have been published with an invitation to enter into dialogue with Nirex regarding these issues. The generic documents identify the requirements for an integrated transport system that would be necessary for the management of the intermediate-level (ILW) and low-level (LLW) wastes within Nirex's remit — the so-called reference case volume. This has involved Nirex in the development of transport hardware and associated safety reports and modelling and ass...

NECESSITY OF INTEGRATED TRANSPORT SYSTEM TO NAMMA METRO AT BYAPANAHALLI – A STUDY

Mass Rapid Transit is one of the major Transportati on system proposed in metropolitan city like Bangal ore in order to be beneficial in reducing various traffic problems and result in reduction of Travel time etc. The efficiency of thi s system can be increased by attracting more number of Trip makers by a suitable Integrated Transport System. Feeder system is one of these techniques proposed for Namma Metro in Bangalore which includes Feeder bus (Minibus) operating throughout the radial areas of Metro stations. The present study includes the necessity of these buses as par with Public Transport Buses currently opera ting in these areas with respect to the willingness of commuters, Frequency and Trav el Time. -------------------------------------------------------------------***Bangalore is the fifth largest metropolis in India. It is not only the administrative and commercial capital of the St ate but also the IT capital of India. Due to the rapid growth of major cities there has been vast increment in population which h as resulted in the traffic growth rate. There has been a 10% fo ld increase in the number of vehicles in the last 20 years. The se have lead to various traffic problems like Narrow roads heavi ly congested with a mixed type of traffic and little p ossibility of widening of these roads or laying new roads due to heavily built-up area, frequent traffic jams at road inters ections, high atmospheric pollution levels and high rate of accid ents. Therefore Mass Rapid Transit is one of the major tr ansport systems which have been proposed in metropolitan cities. The system leads to several positive impacts like Reduc tion in traffic density on road, Reduction in Travel time a nd safety, fuel consumption, urban air pollution and road acci dent, Employment opportunities and improvement in rural economy, Enhanced rural economy, saving in productive manhours due to rapid mode of transport, reduced need for expansion of roads, laying new roads. The commuters using these systems can then be increased by using proper Transport Integration Technique. Feeder system is one of the Integration Techniques have been implemented to attract more number of commuters from the surrounding radial area so as to increase the revenue of the MRT system and to reduce the tra ffic problems.

A Survey of Taxi Drivers’ Aberrant Driving Behavior in Beijing

Taxis are an important component in Beijing's urban integrated transport system. They provide passengers with convenient, comfortable, and efficient service. However, aberrant driving behaviors occur frequently among Beijing taxi drivers, leading to frequent violations and passenger complaints. This study explores Beijing taxi drivers’ aberrant driving behaviors and the factors influencing them. Questionnaires were designed to obtain different views of taxi drivers’ aberrant driving behaviors from taxi drivers, traffic police, and passengers, and to sample problems in the Beijing taxi industry. Responses from 52 professional taxi drivers, 40 traffic police officers, and more than 500 taxi passengers were obtained. The results show that taxi drivers generally under-report their own aberrant driving behaviors, whereas passengers and police appear to have a very negative impression of taxi drivers’ driving behaviors. Environmental influences such as economic pressure, ownership of taxi management, and the nature of the complaint system were found to contribute to taxi drivers’ aberrant driving behaviors. Some suggestions to increase the efficiency and safety of the taxi system in Beijing were proposed, such as improving drivers’ working and economic conditions, developing a better passenger loading system, establishing more effective license and termination policies for drivers, and improving the complaint system.

Along with this, the level of understanding and public acceptance (especially local) of this concept should be developed because the people adaptation to something new is different, so it will takes time for the TOD concept can be embedded within them as a solution to solve the transportation problem,</p>

Energy Consumption Driving Factors and Measuring Models of Regional Integrated Transport System

To identify the energy consumption driving factors and measure their corresponding contributions in energy consumption, the paper classifies the factors into scale effect, structure effect and technique effect according the driving mechanism. It then analyzes the correlations between these factors by ASIF data structural principles and the time series regression. The contributions of these factors are measured via the expanded LMDI decomposition model based on the LMDI method. The result indicate that: (1) the impacts from scale effect and technique effect are weakening, while that from structure effect is increasing; (2) the transport supply structure needs to be further optimized, and there exists plenty of space for reducing the impact on energy consumption; (3) the energy efficiency has increased a lot in recent years, but its contribution to energy consumption is shrinking. Improving the transport intensity exerts significant effect on saving energy. The reliability of the models and its conclusions is proved by empirical studies, which provides scientific supports for the policy making of regional low-carbon integrated transport.
