1 Newton Fund Researcher Links - Brazil The Role of Metros and Light Rail in Addressing Congestion Thursday 3 August :00hrs 15:00hrs Dr. Emmanuel Matsika NewRail, UK Theme: How the Railways contribute to improving quality of life?

2 NOW START! Footnote

3 London Underground World's first underground railway, opened in Jan1863 Paddington & Farringdon using gas-lit wooden carriages Hauled by steam locomotives 38,000 passengers on the first day vs 4.8 million today Footnote

4 Footnote From 2 stations to a network

5 London Underground Number of lines 11 Number of stations 270 served (260 owned) Daily ridership 4.8 million Annual ridership 1.34 billion (2015/16) Began operation 10 January 1863; 154 years ago System length 402 km Track gauge 1,435 mm Footnote Average speed 33 km/h (21 mph)

6 CrossRail Line length 118 km Number of tracks 2 Track gauge 1,435 mm Number of stations 40 Operating speed 140 km/h Footnote

7 Manchester Light Rail Number of lines Number of stations Annual ridership million (2016/17) 10.2% increase 6 April 1992 Began operation Number of 120 M5000s vehicles Train length 28.4 metres System 92 km length Track gauge 1,435 mm Top speed 80 km/h Footnote

8 Manchester Light Rail 2012 Footnote

9 Manchester Light Rail 2017 Footnote

10 Gautrain Light Rail South Africa Line Length: 80 km Gauge: 1435mm Stations: 10 Footnote Cut the number of cars on the N1 Ben Schoeman Highway by 20%, with 100,000 daily passenger trips

11 Addis Ababa Light Rail Ethiopia Line Length: 31.6 km Gauge: 1435mm Stations: 39 Throughput: 60,000 passengers/h Footnote

12 Brazil GDP = $8,727 Ethiopia GDP = $846 1,104,300 km 2 8,515,767 km 2 S. Africa GDP = $5,101 1,221,037 km 2 Footnote

13 Footnote Addressing Congestion using Metro and LR Guided Transport Railways Trams Metro Urban HSR MagLev ITS Tram Mass Transit BRT (Road)

14 Options Mass Transit A solution to Transport Congestion? Metro Tram BRT Footnote

15 Interior Characteristics Metro Tram Footnote BRT

16 Special Cases? Special Mass Transit A solution to Transport Congestion Footnote MagLev ITS Railess Train

17 MagLev

18 Railess Train - by CRRC Speed of 70 km/h and up to 500 passengers, range of 40km

19 Passenger comfort Comfort vs Standing Capacity HSR Urban Rail BRT Comfort vs standing line LRail Metro Standing capacity

20 Xiamen BRT, China 67.4km; 60km/h Number of lines 3 Number of stations 47 System length 67.4 km (41.9 mi) Top speed 60 km/h (37 mph)

21 Curitiba BRT, Brazil Number of lines 6 Number of stations 21 Daily ridership 2,300,000 per day System length 81.4 km

22 BRT

23 Role of ITS in Addressing Congestion ITS provides an opportunity to end congestion while cutting the cost of motoring by around a third and reducing accidents by 90% mylns

24 BRT Challenges Xiamen Xiamen Dehli

25 Xiamen s Shift from BRT to Metro Xiamen city government plans to build an urban-suburban metro network comprising six lines, kilometres (153.0 mi) in length, with 138 stations. Line 4 with 31 stations and 40.4 kilometres (25.1 mi) length will be reconstructed from BRT line mainly.

26 Human Factors in Modal Shift Perception Safety Vs Security

27 Human Factors in Modal Shift Preferences We are humans!

28 Human Factors in Modal Shift Needs PRMs Persons with Reduced Mobility

29 Comparison selected KPIs KPI Metro Tram BRT Land use Passenger Capacity Emissions System performance Initial cost Running costs Favourable Mid range Not Favourable

30 Choice of Mass Transit Solution

31 The Total/Bigger Picture E.g. Easy movement for work, social event and leisure E.g. Land use GHG emissions Pollution E.g. Commuters (workers) Tourism

32 Concluding Remark If metros and trams have improved the quality of life of people in UK, wider EU, the rest of the world (Ethiopia included), they can improve the quality of life in Brazil!

33 NOW STOP!

34 Obrigado! Thank you! Questions are welcome Dr. Emmanuel Matsika NewRail, UK

35 Questions for Discussion 1. How can metro/light rail be part of the solution to decongest Brazilian roads 2. What challenges need to be overcome to promote metro/light rail? 3. What are your views about: Metro vs Light rail vs BRT? 4. What should be the way forward?
