Hayword Navigator Problems

lanes for cars and taxis



As the cars and taxis to use the lanes for buses in Santiago, surface public transport will be slow and unreliable in terms of regularity in the travel times latter fundamental attribute of travel to work early in the morning. While a bus trip in Alameda or Providence can last 20 or 40 minutes with the same probability, the bulk of users will still prefer the metro line 1 by the confidence that gives them the power to predict more accurately how long take time to get to work, despite the jostling to get on the train and 6 per square meter, with the possibility of a more comfortable journey by bus.

bus routes to operate more efficiently through the center of the arteries, as in TransMilenio in Bogota and Santiago Avenue Greece-situation in which minimizing friction with other modes and pedestrian activity trails. The ideal in Alameda-Providencia axis is to leave two lanes of buses by the middle of the road and two other vehicles on the right track. If this is impractical, the minimum may be required under current conditions is to bring to light vehicles and taxis in the segregated way, whose presence is one of the predominant factors in the slowness of the buses, even in these pathways presumably separate them from other traffic to give them more choice and justice in the use of road space. Such measures and that other to give more speed and regularity of the buses would:

- Improve service quality
- Increase the carrying capacity of the system, since the same buses would increase the frequency of their past.
- Attracting users from the underground, helping to shedding during peak hours (idealistically, from the car as well.)

That is, only good news. It first requires a political decision to get the taxis of segregated roads, and motorists for more control on the ground and through the cameras, besides studying the removal of several right turns (non-trivial issue for all re-routings that take place) or regulation without allowing their entry into the segregated way (for example, a third phase light).

Daycares In Murfreesboro Tn

Metro Information Desk


Tuesday, 18.45 am, arrived at the Metro station Universidad de Chile, passing through the turnstile, walk under the direction San Pablo, came to the platform ... three rows of people waiting for me to walk all over, waiting for the train (plus even more numerous groups outside the gates). Reaches the first train, crowded, no more than three people can get on each door. For "line problems", the train runs over a minute at the station, before continuing its course. Comes next, the situation is repeated. Extrapolating, they quickly calculated that I'll linger around Only 15 minutes to board a train.

The impact of rush hour on a transport system operating at capacity, as the subway, simple measures can reduce management (no more trains because the system is inefficient and not resist). Information to users is a good tool for this. For example, on the freeway can use the electronic message boards that have to warn motorists when there is congestion, before entering the tracks. So they have better information to decide whether to enter a path that temporarily lost its character as expressed, or follow the local roads (urban highways, on the physical segregation Inputs and outputs, each a mile, for example, amplify the phenomenon of congestion, because once put in a plug there is no escape).

The same principle can be used in subway stations during rush hour, when it is forecast to hold and / or inside the train journey itself will take considerably longer than the user expects. This is a result of high demand, usually attached to the arrests that often occur in the service of trains (on the platform or inside the tunnel), whose occurrence increases just at peak times when the system operates at capacity and its maximum frequency. These arrests effectively reduce the frequency of service, and therefore reduced transport capacity and increase the overcrowding of passengers (in platforms and trains). Perfectly Metro could have variable messaging boards at their stations, such as those in platforms and trains, but located in the ticketing area, before passing through the turnstile, so as to inform users situations as "slow running train "or" estimated wait time in dock: 15 minutes). Thus, they have better tools to decide whether to enter the platform anyway, take a bus (if available) or otherwise.
The problem is that the optimization of resources Transantiago as a whole can go against the interests of Metro in particular, as their income increases proportionally with the number of passengers it carries. However, with a vision system and users in mind and quality of service that they perceive is a measure to consider.
