Summary of Projects
Metro Railway Benchmarking CoMET and Nova
R.J. Anderson, G. Kwan, B.J. Condry, M. Trompet, D.J. Graham, N.G. Harris, R.C.d’A. Hirsch, W.E. Adeney T.M. Ridley and S. Glaister.
The objectives of these two ongoing studies are to collate and disseminate best practice in a number of key aspects of urban rail operations and planning. The CoMET study is undertaken on behalf of a consortium of eleven of the world’s largest urban rail operators (Berlin, Hong Kong MTRC, London, Madrid, Mexico, Moscow, Paris, New York, Sao Paulo, and Tokyo). The study, now in its eleventh year, assists metro railways to identify and implement best practice through benchmarking comparisons and analytical case studies. Nova has similar overall objectives to those of CoMET, but consists of a consortium of eleven medium sized urban rail systems (Buenos Aires, Dublin DART, Glasgow, Hong Kong KCRC, Lisbon, Montreal, Naples, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Singapore, Taipei and Toronto). The results of all CoMET and Nova studies have been made available to consortium members via the CoMET and Nova websites.
Metro railway benchmarking (Nova).
W.E. Adeney, G. Kwan, R.J. Anderson, D.J. Graham, B.J. Condry, N.G. Harris, R.C.d'A. Hirsch, T.M. Ridley and S. Glaister
The overall objective of this project is similar those of the CoMET benchmarking study described above. However, the NOVA group consists of a consortium of 9 medium sized urban rail system operators. Three new metros joined in 2001 (Montréal, Naples and Dublin DART) to make a total of 9 members (also including Glasgow, Hong Kong KCRC, Lisbon, Madrid, Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Singapore). The case studies for Nova in 2000-2001 included a benchmarking study of ‘Passenger Information Systems’ and another concerning the ‘Reliability of Signalling and Points-Related Assets’.
Metro railway benchmarking (CoMET)
W.E. Adeney, G. Kwan, R.J. Anderson, D.J Graham,B.J. Condry, N.G. Harris, R.C.d'A. Hirsch, T.M. Ridley and S.Glaister
The objective of this ongoing project was to collate and disseminate best practice in a number of key aspects of urban rail operations and planning. The study is the sixth in a series of projects undertaken on behalf of the CoMET group, a consortium of nine of the world’s largest urban rail operators (Berlin, Hong Kong MTRC, London, Mexico, Moscow, Paris, New York, Sao Paulo, and Tokyo). The study, now in its seventh year, assists metro railways to identify and implement best practice through benchmarking comparisons and analytical case studies. The analyses undertake in the last year focused on productivity improvement methods and safety management systems, with summary comparisons of new line construction, automatic train supervision, ticketing and station personnel. Work was also carried out on quantifying the benefits of some of the previous years’ analytical case studies. The results, which revealed substantial differences between difference operators, have been made available to CoMET consortium members via the RTSC web site.
Deprivation and Road Safety
Noland, Robert B., Daniel J. Graham, and Marco Porretta
This project will examine the link between area-based deprivation, as measured by various social welfare indicators, and the incidence of road traffic injuries and fatalities in those areas. Recent research has established an unexplained association between deprived areas and increased risk of road traffic injuries and fatalities. This occurs both for pedestrians and for vehicle drivers and occupants. Several hypotheses may explain this linkage. First, these areas may have higher population densities and thus more pedestrian activity, leading to increased exposure to risk. Secondly, these areas may receive inadequate funding to improve their road infrastructure to modern safety standards, including traffic calming. Third, these areas may suffer from larger flows of high speed traffic, either because they are lower income areas or the large flows of traffic may have led to them being lower income areas due to the external effects of the traffic. Finally, lower income groups tend to engage in riskier behaviour patterns and may also receive indadequate or poor medical coverage, which could increase both the frequency of accidents and their severity when they occur. These issues will be examined using spatial econometric modelling of UK data.
The impact of transport investment on regional employment
Jiwattanakulpaisarn, P., Noland, Robert B., Graham, D.J. and Polak, J.W.
The objective of this research is to empirically investigate whether highway investment has an impact on regional employment. This will be accomplished by developing and estimating econometric models that control for effects associated with employment growth and that can disentangle the causal nature of these effects. In theory, reduced travel times and costs of travel associated with improved transport facilities could yield long-term economic benefits by influencing firm and household decisions that affect the overall productivity of various sectors of the economy. This can effect employment in several ways. This research will examine the impact on different sectors of the economy, and how transport infrastructure may increase employment in some sectors while reducing it in others.

Summary of News Items
February 2006
CTS recognised for postgraduate training by ESRC. The Centre for Transport Studies has been awarded recognition as a postgraduate training outlet by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) for the period 2006-9. Professor John Polak commented “We are delighted to receive this recognition from ESRC. CTS has a long tradition of multi-disciplinary work in transport and ESRC recognition will enable us to extend the scope of this work further”. In a related development, Dr Dan Graham has been awarded an ESRC PhD studentship to enable him to recruit a PhD student to further develop Dr Graham’s work on the agglomeration and productivity impacts of transport infrastructure investment.
January 2007
Piyapong (Joey) Jiwattanakulpaisarn was invited to give a talk on his recent work at the Northwestern University Transportation Center. The seminar was entitled “Transport Infrastructure Investment and Its Effects On Employment: Theoretical Linkages, Estimation Issues, and Recent Evidence”.
December 2007
Congratulations to Zia Wadud who successfully defended his PhD thesis on 13 December 2007. The topic of his thesis was “Personal tradable carbon permits for road transport: Heterogeneity of demand responses and distributional analysis". Zia was supervised by Dr. Robert Noland and Dr. Daniel Graham and supported through a Commonwealth research scholarship. Zia is now a post-doctoral student at Cambridge University and will be spending six months at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology beginning in April.
July 2007
Congratulations to Daniel Graham on his promotion to Principal Research Fellow (Reader). This is in recognition of his outstanding work in the area of transport economics and econometrics.
June 2006
Dr Dan Graham has been awarded funding for two new PhD scholarships to investigate the relationship between major transport investments and economic productivity. One studentship is funded by Transport for London and the other by the Department for Transport in collaboration with the Economic and Social Research council.Home, Top of page and photo, Publications, Projects, news items
