Organizational and economic mechanism of the automatic underground train operation system

This work deals with the provision of underground, as one of the main modes of public transport, with automated control systems, in particular the provision of automated train management. It defines that the underground is one of the most progressive modes of transport, which is related to its environmental safety, comfort, and speed of movement, as this mode of transport does not intersect with other transport and pedestrian routes, which excludes traffic blocks. Underground is an important element of urbanized spaces, for it serves large passenger traffic. The article presents an algorithm for the creation of an automated control system for the underground train system. Based on this algorithm, a model of building an organizational and economic mechanism for automation of control systems has been developed. The diagram of organizational and technical implementation of the automated system of underground train management is presented. An economic analysis of the effectiveness of the application of the automated control system of underground trains was carried out. The recoupment on the acquisition and installation of automation systems is very high. The application of the automated system will increase the capacity of the underground by optimizing the traffic schedules, which will contribute to increasing its profitability. It is also useful to determine the reduction of electricity consumption due to the change in the dynamics of acceleration and braking systems, which is important, as the underground is a powerful enterprise. In the future, a promising direction is to streamline the coordination of train schedules and other modes of land public transport.

The Effect Of Financial Health Levels To The Indication Of Financial Statement Fraud In Transportation Sector

Because of app-based transportation, traditional transportation companies are being abandoned because in terms of practicality, they are less accessible to various groups of people. Therefore, traditional transportation companies compete difficultly and have financial pressure. One example of financial pressure is poor financial health. Based on the Fraud Triangle theory, it is said that if a company is under pressure, the possibility of committing fraud will increase. This study is conducted to find empirical evidence whether the level of financial health could affect the possibility of financial statement fraud. This study is expected to provide knowledge to investors and potential investors how to use the Altman's Z-Score analysis method as a measuring tool for financial health level and the Beneish M-Score as a financial statement fraud red flag measurement tool, in order to avoid fraud in the future. The research method used is the method of causality. The data collected is secondary quantitative data in the form of financial statements of companies in the land public transportation industry for the period of year 2015 until 2019. Descriptive and verificative analysis will be done on these data. After conducting the analysis, it can be concluded that the level of financial health has a significant effect on financial statement fraud indications. But there are many other factors that can explain changes in the likelihood of a company committing financial statement fraud such as opportunity, rationalization and various other types of pressure.

The benefits of National Intelligent Transportation Management Centre (NITMC) establishment in Malaysia

Malaysia has been embracing Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) technology and has started the effort by establishing a few traffic management centres (TMC) which are operated by different government agencies for transportation data collection. For examples, Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has been operating Integrated Transport Information System (ITIS) where traffic data is collected in Kuala Lumpur and Klang Valley area., In addition, Malaysian Highway Authority (MHA) has TMCs at all tolled highways to collect and manage traffic data and Land Public Transport Land Public Transport Agency (APAD) is in charge for public transport management including bus and light rail train. Due to the operation and maintenance of these centres are maintained by multiple agencies separately, transportation data from them are not coordinated and integrated. Therefore, the in-silo working culture causes difficulty in data collection and analysis for historical data record, real-time information and future prediction. In conclusion, National Intelligent Transport Management Centre (NITMC) is important as the centre that will coordinate, integrate, collect, analyse and disseminate these data from multiple agencies from government and private agencies. The data analysed in NITMC is expected to benefit all relevant stakeholders including the public by providing up-to-date and reliable data to them.

Design of Passenger\xa0Aerial Ropeway for Urban Environment

Aerial ropeway is an effective alternative to the conventional modes of land public transport in metropolitan areas and cities. Construction of passenger aerial ropeways in urban environment is a very costly enterprise in terms of engineering and economics, and requires significant financial resources. This article is aimed at the development of the design method of the passenger aerial ropeway, ensuring the reduction in its construction cost. For this purpose, the individual components of the construction cost are considered, and the approximate calculation dependencies are proposed. It is shown that the cost of the aerial ropeway is mainly influenced by the installation step, height of intermediate towers and carrying rope tension. The task of the conditional nonlinear optimization of the given parameters is formulated and solved in the research. This task ensures the minimum cost of the aerial ropeway. The optimization task is done by taking into account possible limitations on the ropeway laying in the severely urbanized environment (the terrain, urban infrastructure arrangement, altitude performance of the urban development, technical characteristics of the carrying rope, etc.). Implementing the solution findings of the given optimization task makes it possible to significantly reduce the construction cost of aerial ropeways in urban environment.

Restructuring the Lebanese Railway and Public Transport Authority (RPTA): From losing operator to effective regulator

The Lebanese Council of Ministers has recently endorsed a plan for the reform and organization of the Land Public Transport Sector (LPTS). The plan implies a new role for the government: it would cease being just a loss-making service provider and become the planner and regulator of the sector under a new strategy. The strategy would aim at creating the enabling environment and conditions that allow and ensure the existence of sufficient, affordable and efficient transport services provided by several private-sector operators functioning under competitive conditions. Thus, the existing autonomous Railway and Public Transport Authority (RPTA) will be restructured to serve as the effective regulator, its bus operations will be corporatized (for possible eventual privatization), and all existing private sector service providers will be regulated. Following a brief overview of the problems of the sector and the components of the reform and organization plan, this paper focuses on developing options for the restructuring of the RPTA to carry out its new role.
