They each have different catchment sizes depending on the ments of the community they serve This part of Assignment 2 is worth 15% of your total grade for subject 48370 Supports expert orientated activities that e the city one Global activity centres location of businesses and jobs Involved in exprecated global trade, Teinig to wore median and workforce This part of the assignment sets a series of tasks relating to the operating characteristics of different transport modes and the affect these have on patterns of land-use development and activity centre structure Stratek ty centres de distribution points in the city hasogatic centres Provide service for local resident populations Primary thycentres providing the dation, recreation and clic services pus diverse of office and for regional resident populations Secondary activity centre providing access to read compimentary come officering multorposes for local po asubreponavel Local activity centres businesses provincess to convenience pods and services for local resident populations . The aim of these tasks is to provide you with an opportunity to consolidate your grasp and knowledge of these key relationships that underscore all transport and land use systems, and which are essential to framing transport problems in ways that will benet users 1. Draw a set of indicative travel time contours at 10- minute intervals that start from the same geographic location for the following transport modes Bicycle (average speed Skm/h) Bus/light rail average speed 25km/h . Car (25km/he in peak hour and the signalised speed limit in off-peak periods) Metro and suburban heavy rail (average speed 40km/h) High-speed train (200km/h) You will need to consider the relative speed, carriageway configuration and route configuration and stopping pattern for public transport) and capacity. From a user perspective, describe one comparatively positive feature and one constraining feature of each mode given the morphology for shape of the areas that can be accessed 15 Marks) . 1 + Fitto page Pagevies Part 1 (continued) Guide to assessment and allocation of marks to Part 1 Smarts smaries 2 Building on your descriptions from Question and given the relative scale of the catchments for each mode, briefly outline how you think each of the modes could best serve the following two activity centre types: A heavily congested global activity centre (like the Sydney CBD) A local activity centre with less than six shops/services located within a largely residential neighbourhood When answering, take into account that when users are making decisions about which transport mode they will use for a trip, they'll most often take whichever models quickest Briefly describe what access conditions would need to be present in order to make each transport mode more attractive for that activity centre type, Where a transport mode is imoractical tell me that its impractical and why s Marks) 3. The land-take needed to make a transport mode viable, varies between different modes, Discuss the different land-take requirements for the two types of activity centre listed above and explain why a global activity centre is better served by low land take mode while a local activity centre, under certain conditions, con more easily accommo higher and take modes (5 Marks What is meant by catchment area for a transport mode? Catchment we refers to the areas that people can access within given time periods from an activity centre Your drawing of indicative travel time contours should show the comparative areas that can be accessed by each of the five modes and possible use a similar scale to highlight the comparative differences. This section should show sketches (hand drawn and photographed with a phone is OK with the differences for each added bullet points 1 markassigned for each mode Answers for question will be awarded marks for consistency between your depiction of travel time contours from question mark for each center type) and how you relate this to your description of catchment area for different types of activity centre i mark for each centre type. The reminine mark ww be awarded for how well you justify your explanation of what makes each mode attractive to users. This section should answered in short sentences and bullet marks Answers relating to relative and take for different transport moderQuestions will be awarded marks for your son of and take requirements (0.5 marks for en model, with the remaining 25 mackwarded for your explanation of ww the two different activity centres can tolerate the high or low capacity transcort modes. The section should be ondwered in short buite What is meant by land-take? Land take refers to the land are needed to build supporting infrastructures such catraceways roads and railway track and vehicle housing car parking and Durel depots The amount of land take for different transport modes dependent on the relative carrying capacity of the mode, which is needed to serve the activity centre Part 2 Reducing end-to-end run times to improve public transport operational efficiency and customer experience Gulpill light rail service optimisation The light al service in Gulpild city h2ong line that he 19 stops Parts of the line operate on a dedicated track while other sections provide on street services The main features of the line are described in the diam This part of Assement 2 is worth LOK of your totalrede for stject 48370 below This part of the silenment asks you to undertake an evaluation of what could be done to improve the operational efficiency of light rail service and then assess the impacts tositive and negative this methove on customer experience Imagine you have been asked to evaluate possible changes to light rail service that operates between an outer suburb of a city called Outpil and a terminus located in the Central Business District (see diagram on right) At present, services have an end-to-end run time of 39 minutes and require 1 minute to turn around in the CD and two minutes at the outer suburban and The service operates at a 12-minute frequency (5 per hour) during morning and evening per periods, reducing to a 15-minute frequency (4 per hour during o penk periods 1.
