Prioritisation of public transport in Cape TownStrategy to save energy Presentation by: Stevan Manojlovic Notes
Organisational measures External • 1.Prioritisation • 2.Traffic management Internal • 1.Bus technology • 2.Ticketing system • 3.Drivers behaviour • 4.Organisation of the routes (express)
Prioritisation 1 • Why Klipfontein corridor? • The latest survey, high volume of the PT vehicles. Table 1
Prioritisation 2 • World standards 1500 pass bus /day • Cape Town 180 pass/bus/day • Ratio between buses and individual motor car usability is 1:10
Prioritisation in Cape Town 1 • Woodstock PM peak
Prioritisation in Cape Town 2 • Traffic on dedicated line
Prioritisation in Cape Town 2 • The basic assumption (very conservative) in the report is that a public vehicle in a strictly dedicated lane can achieve, in peak hour and in the peak direction, the same speed as in the off peak on the not dedicated lane
Traffic management • Cape Town has one of the most sofisticated programs for optimisation of traffic lights (SCOOT) • What has be done for PT. • What we prioritised number of the people or number of the individual car. • Klipfonten- SCOOT-equlize bus and individual car. • Twenty two signalised intersectios
Surplus of the vehicles • With the same number of vehicles savings of energy or higher Level of service • 100 vehicles spent 2 000 000 litres per annum. • 15% is 3 00.000
Internal Organisational measures 1 • Bus technology
Internal Organisational measures 2 • Drivers behaviour - Cleaning of internal combustion system on Potsdam interchange
