Two chapters are then devoted to production and sales, and they analyse the operational and economic aspects. Railway management and decision-making is then examined.

Download or read book Villes et grande vitesse written by Gilles Rabin and published by Mardaga Editions. This book was released on 2003 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: «Outil technique» conçu d'abord pour aller vite et loin, et pour desservir en priorité des agglomérations et des régions à forte densité démographique, la grande vitesse ferroviaire n'a pas été imaginée pour faire de l'aménagement du territoire ni multiplier les gares dans les régions moins peuplées. Son développement risque par conséquent d'accentuer les déséquilibres géographiques existants et de créer de nouvelles inégalités entre villes ou entre régions. L'Association «Les villes européennes de la grande vitesse» s'efforce de proposer depuis dix ans des réponses adaptées à ces enjeux, et notamment de transformer les lignes à grande vitesse en véritable réseau, connecté à un ensemble moderne de transport multimodal. Dans le cadre de cette réflexion globale, cet ouvrage développe une comparaison approfondie entre les approches française et allemande, et critique les stratégies ferroviaires à l'œuvre dans ces deux pays. Il constitue une synthèse des informations disponibles et une contribution originale au débat sur la grande vitesse en France et en Europe
Download or read book Eastern European Railways in Transition written by Henry Jacolin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-29 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the nineteenth century, railway lines spread rapidly across Europe, linking the continent in ways unimaginable to previous generations. By the beginning of the twentieth century the great cities of the continent were linked by a complex and extensive rail network. Yet this high-point of interconnectivity, was abruptly cut-off after 1945, as the Cold War built barriers - both physical and ideological - between east and west. In this volume, leading transport history scholars take a fresh look at this situation, and the ramifications it had for Europe. As well as addressing the parallel development of railways either side of the Iron Curtain, the book looks at how transport links have been reconnected and reconfigured in the twenty years since the reunification of Europe. In particular, it focuses upon the former communist countries and how they have responded to the challenges and opportunities railways offer both nationally and internationally. Including contributions from historians, researchers, policy makers, representatives of railway companies and railway museum staff, the essays in this collection touch upon a rich range of subjects. Divided into four sections: 'The Historical Overview', 'Under Russian Protection', After the Fall of the Iron Curtain, and 'The Heritage of Railways in Eastern Europe' the volume offers a broadly chronological introduction to the issue, that provides both a snap-shot of current debates and a starting point for further research. It concludes that in an era of increased globalisation and interconnectivity - and despite the rise of air and road transport and virtual methods of communication - railways still have a crucial role to play in the development of a prosperous and connected Europe.
Download or read book Blood Iron and Gold written by Christian Wolmar and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2010-03-02 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The opening of the world's first railroad in Britain and America in 1830 marked the dawn of a new age. Within the course of a decade, tracks were being laid as far afield as Australia and Cuba, and by the outbreak of World War I, the United States alone boasted over a quarter of a million miles. With unrelenting determination, architectural innovation, and under gruesome labor conditions, a global railroad network was built that forever changed the way people lived. From Panama to Punjab, from Tasmania to Turin, Christian Wolmar shows how cultures were enriched, and destroyed, by one of the greatest global transport revolutions of our time, and celebrates the visionaries and laborers responsible for its creation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rail 2000, plébiscité en 1987, constitue le grand projet de rénovation du réseau ferroviaire suisse. Ce livre, fruit du travail d'un groupe de spécialistes, propose ici un nouvel objectif d'envergure : intégrer enfin la Suisse dans le réseau européen à grande vitesse par deux corridors Ouest-Est et Nord-Sud, qui rapprocheront du même coup toutes les régions du pays. Tandis qu'on perce dans l'orientation Nord-Sud deux tunnels de base sous les Alpes (Lötschberg et Gothard), le corridor Ouest-Est vieillit. Tous les projets sur cet axe, des années 1960 à ce jour, sont décrits dans cet ouvrage, de la France voisine au sud de l'Allemagne via Genève, Lausanne, Berne, Bâle, Zurich et Saint-Gall. Trois étapes sont proposées pour bâtir le réseau ferroviaire de demain. La première, dénommée Cadence, met en oeuvre l'horaire rythmé à l'heure. La deuxième, Fréquence, vise à lancer un train chaque quart d'heure. Enfin la troisième, Vitesse, abrège le temps entre les métropoles. Dans le Plan Rail 2050, ces trois efforts se combinent en une véritable stratégie, qui prend en compte le trafic régional et unit la Suisse. Par la grande vitesse, trop longtemps négligée, on recrée d'excellentes communications avec les pays voisins.
