EYE ON STOCKHOLM - Enjoying Beautiful Metro Art

Subways need not be boring or dreary! On the contrary, many operators of metros, subways or underground railways want to attract passengers with good station design. This often means extra effort and cost for the metro operators, but it seems to pay off when a metro is more than just a means of transport but something the residents can be proud of.

INDUSTRY SPOTLIGHT— Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) | DEFINED

This updated 2011 industry description has been prepared by the Advanced Transit Association Industry Group PRT is an energy-efficient, electric, (typically) elevated transit system with many four-person vehicles. Working as circulator transit for job centers, airports, and universities, PRT has a higher average speed than a car. In these applications, PRT makes carpooling, light rail, commuter rail, and bus more effective, by solving the "last mile problem."

INDUSTRY PROFILE – DUBAI - PODCARS IN THE MIDDLE WORLD

Dubai – little more than a fishing village along the southern coast of the Persian Gulf some fifty years ago – is today a booming city of 1.5 million residents with a driverless metro that is shaping its future in a more sustainable way. The nearby capital of the United Arab Emirates is Abu Dhabi, where a modest podcar system runs. Both advanced transit projects are drawing the attention of officials from throughout a region known for a deep urban history and modern energy wealth.

GET TO KNOW: Jan-Erik Nowacki

Podcar developers and thinkers in Sweden are familiar with the work of Jan-Erik Nowacki, formerly with SwedeTrack and one of the co-founders of the GTS Foundation. But many do not know that Nowacki has long been working on heat pumps. Those who do often count him as a major force in the recent significant switch from oil-heating to heat pumps. In Sweden one millions houses out of 1.8 million are in some way heated by heat pumps. Around 400,000 collect heat from the ground (geothermal). The amount of heat ta

BREAKING NEWS – NEW FUNDING SOURCES COMING FORTH (EEUU)

For those researching PRT/ATN, a new range of funding sources are emerging. The largest ever research program for transportation from the EU was recently launched with a vast range of possibilities. The EU is very clear in that projects including a mix of SMEs (Smalll & Medium Enterprise), sustainable energy sources, several EU and adjacent countries with innovative ideas in many transportation areas are very welcome to come with program ideas.

LETTER FROM CHRISTER — For our children - today we are all Norwegian.

As I write this I have just been informed about the shocking tragedy in Norway. While planning to draft an article about the importance of promoting transformation through innovation rather than throwing good resources after poor planning and insufficient technology (a scenario that plagues most cities), I am now focused on why it is essential for our children, and their future, that we employ well-formed holistic strategies that aim to develop a more sustainable and caring world – it’s not just about impro
