The tram, still a priority in Arad 03-13-2009 16:59 The development and improvement of the public transport service in Arad represent the priorities of the strategy for 2008 - 2020. The main objectives include: encouraging the use of public transport, increasing service quality and efficiency, ensuring the financing necessary for development, extending and modernising the existing rolling stock fleet, elaborating transport programmes that ensure a balanced and efficient development, as well as extending electric transport in the pre-urban area (the metropolitan area), in order to increase the transport capacity and to lower the pollution level, which stimulate the development of the current tram network. Arad Local and District Council have approved a Business Plan for the development of the urban transport system. This project requires investments of EUR 25.5 Million for the next five years. To that effect, Arad municipality asked for financing from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). “In the first six months of this year, we should purchase 10 new and 10 second-hand buses. We also plan to acquire four new trams. Aside from the investments made in the development of the vehicle fleet, we plan to use some of these funds in order to implement an electronic ticketing system. This system will be installed on a trial basis on Line 3, the longest line, which crosses through the centre of the city”, declared for Club Feroviar Cãtãlin Baltã, Head of Rolling Stock at CTP Arad. The long-term development strategy includes the premise of extending the tram line in the south of the city by approximately 5 km of double-track. In this area, Arad municipality plans to build a new district hospital and school campuses, as well as several industrial objectives. Rehabilitation and modernisation The programme entitled “Urban Transport in Arad”, which stood at the basis of the ample rehabilitation of the tram infrastructure in the past few years, is financed through a foreign EBRD bank loan, as well as from budget sources from Arad Local Council (40%) – EUR 44.67 Million, in two stages (Stage I – EUR 35.95 Million and Stage II – EUR 8.72 Million). The execution period is of two years. The investments made concern the entire road and tram line ensemble on a length of 18.004 km. As part of this programme, the overhead contract line was completely rehabilitated, with elastic tense wire suspension and automated compensation. The power supply was realized through energy centres, which were connected to three recovery substations through cables placed inside protection piping that ran through the platform of the line. The cathodic protection was realized through a cable that runs along the running rail and which is located inside the line reservation. The rehabilitation process focused on making the tramway a priority for the other traffic participants. “To that effect, we managed to automatically reverse switches in the frequently circulated sections (for some of the switches installed on certain shunt lines we chose a manual command), the route – line along the road - was configured in such a way to allow trams to run at a commercial speed of 15 km/h. We also managed to draw up timetables based on running sequences”, said Cuvineanu. These works concerned the rehabilitation of all the stations, including the access ramps, the priority of trams in intersections and the traffic light command system, which is activated automatically when the tram enters the intersection. The project also includes the implementation of automated ticket vending machines on tram station platforms. As for the rehabilitation of the running rail, during 2004 – 2008, Arad Local Council financed the rehabilitation of 6.035 m of tram line, of which 650 m simple track, and the rest double-track. In 2004, works on 3.700 m of simple track were financed through PHARE funds. The current tram network in Arad includes 100.7 km simple track, 30 of which are on the outskirts of the city. The 67 km of simple track were added 3.7 newly-built kilometres of simple track. The new tram line in the West Industrial Area was also finalized. 2009 will be heading in the same direction Aside from these projects, C.T.P. Arad plans to continue the projects financed by the local authorities as part of the programme entitled “Modernisation of the public urban transport system”. Hence, tram lines Piaþa UTA – Piaþa Podgoria (2002 m double-track) and Piaþa Podgoria – Piaþa Romanã (525 m double-track) will be finalized. The running rail for these sections is built on its own platform, on a bed of crushed stone, Ri 60 tracks in curves and S 49 tracks mounted on concrete sleepers through elastic fastening. For the roadway sections, including level crossings, the running rail is mounted on a platform of reinforced concrete, where Ri 60 tracks have been elastically fastened, with sound absorbent elements. The overhead contact line in compensation solution is made of S=100 mmp conductors, installed on the pole brackets placed in the line reservation, except for the situations generated by the route geometry, when the poles of the network are located on the sidewalk and the contact wire is mounted on sleepers. The contact wire supply is realized through “energy centres”. The power supply wire network has been mounted on the platform of the running rail inside protection piping. The sections under construction use a number of 35 switches, 12 of which with automated command, activated from inside the tram. In the intersections, the traffic lights are installed in such a way as to give priority to the trams. The work is scheduled to be finalized during the second semester. “In 2009, 2.450 m of roadway double-track will be rehabilitated through financing from Arad Local Council, EBRD sources and EU structural funds. Another 750 m of double-track on Renaºterii Street is possible to be rehabilitated from Local Council funds. Other investments financed by the local authorities also include the rehabilitation of several streets in the old centre of Arad, a programme developed through EU structural funds. In this context, the 1.350 m simple tram line on Preparandiei and Dornei Streets will be rehabilitated in roadway solution, with sound absorbent elements; the tracks will be mounted on the reinforced concrete plate”, added Petru Cuvineanu. Preparations for the new trams As for the investments made in rolling stock, “we will initiate tender procedures for a number of 10 new low-floor tram wagons, with delivery deadlines scheduled for 2015. We have been thinking about modernising several T4D wagons in order to create a new low-floor wagon from two T4D units. This project is developed by Skoda – Ganz”, said Petru Cuvineanu, Technical Director at CTP Arad. The current tram fleet includes second-hand vehicles acquired from Germany and Austria. This year, Timiº 2 and Tatra T4R will be put out of service completely. The number of trams currently in service is of 175 wagons, 151 of which motor wagons. The fleet also includes Tatra T4D, 6 and 8-axle DUWAG and GT4 – Esslingen wagons. Pamela Luicã

Offenbar erreicht man dort mit 25 Mio. Euro wesentlich mehr als bei uns... jedenfalls sehr erfreulich zu lesen, das Ganze. Die ersten zehn Niederflur-Neuwagen werden für 2015 angepeilt.

Allerdings verwundert es angesichts des offenbar vorhandenen Budgets, dass die 100.000 Euronen für die letzten vier doch nicht gekauften IVB-Wagen nicht vorhanden waren.

Na ja heuer will man doch laut Aussage vier neue??? Strassenbahnwagen kaufen... Eher komisch das ganze, da erste Niederflurwagen ja erst 2015 angepeilt werden...

Vielleicht meinte man damals doch die Innsbrucker, ist nun aber aufgrund der grossen Zukunftspläne davon wieder abgekommen, da es für sechs Jahre Übergangslösung nicht rentiert... Vielleicht liefert ja Skoda die neuen Niederflurwagen und vielleicht sind diese günstiger als der "West" - Standard... In Kosice hat man zudem bewiesen, dass man aus alten Tatra - Trappeln mit wenig Budget wirklich schöne (wenn auch hochflurige Bahnen) machen kann - in Arad vielleicht mit Niederflurmittelteil eine Option... Oder bekommen am Ende noch die alten Innsbrucker ihr lange ersehntes Niederflurmittelteil... Die Wagen sind ja noch recht frisch in Arad und müssen sich erst ihre Sporen verdienen... Wobei so selten ist das heute im Ostblock nicht, dass man etwas kauft und wegstellt mangels Bedarf oder wegen zu grosser Arbeit für die Adaption... Ähnliches zeigte sich doch auch im Nachkriegsösterreich, als man die Bestellung für neue Trams in Innsbruck cancelte und auf gebrauchte Schweizer Fahrzeuge umsattelte (ein Glück, weil dadurch hat die Strassenbahn 1976 überlebt!) Manche davon (die Thunerseetrieb- und z.T. Beiwagen) gingen nie in den Planbetrieb... wohl ein ähnliches Schicksal, wie es so manches Fahrzeug dzt im Osten erleben muss. Und wenn wir rekapitulieren: auch so mancher gebrauchter Zukauf der IVB brachte es gerade einmal auf zehn Einsatzjahre (Remscheider, Winterthurer...)
Lassen wir uns überraschen was im Angesicht der weltweiten und besonders den Ostblock betreffenden Finanzkrise von dem ganzen umsetzbar ist...
Vielleicht wäre man in ein paar Jahren froh um die noch verbliebenen Innsbrucker Wagen 72, 38, 40 und 52...

Ich glaube, mit den vier Wagen sind (die IVB-?)Gebrauchtwagen gemeint, die ja für den dortigen Betrieb "Neu"zugänge wären. Hochflur-Neufahrzeuge werden die ja kaum kaufen - gibt's sowas überhaupt, abgesehen von diversen Stadtbahntypen?

ich glaube nicht mehr wirklich, aber gebaut wird ja was der Kunde will...
Nein ich habe es auch so verstanden, dass wohl damit die vier Innsbrucker Trams gemeint waren...

Na ja... vielleicht wird ja noch was...
