Abstract
1.1 Problem Definition
Ramses Square as the focal point of major movement for transportation modes and networks in Cairo, has different zones of influence, suffers from population increase, traffic congestion, confusion of uses and functions, therefore a different negative impacts of existing physical elements like:
The intersection between 6thOctober flyover, Roads Network, Metro Line, and buses line create Noise, traffic, and chronic accidents.
Negative physical impacts on the space of the square from the 6th Of October flyover.
Negative impact of the new overhead pedestrian bridges.
Disorganization of pedestrian traffic in the square.
Bad condition of the current parking lots, in terms of location, capacities, their entrances and exits
1.2 Research Scope
The research will review the theoretical background of the central station hubs with special focus on the case study of Ramses Station. The study will then explore three main examples that were able to overcome relevant negative changes in the city center in the international experience and support their development plans and criteria focusing on the socio-economic impact of the different tools. The study will conclude the gained benefits from the application relating to the hub objectives on the case study.
2. Part 1 - Chapter 1: Principles of Central Station Design
This chapter aims to explore the key issues related to station design. It examines a number of Principles, which intended to enhance and complement existing operators’ design and service delivery standards and other legal and discretionary requirements. The aim of this examination is to assess the sets individually, to declare a definitive approach can be identified, also to provide frameworks used for formulating the indicator sets, highlight pitfalls and problems facing such kind of projects, point out to the areas where projects fail to fulfill the guidelines.
Design Framework and Themes
Principle 1 - Station Usability: discussing all the issues of Station Movement, Station Accessible and Inclusive, Wayfinding and Passenger Information, and Comfort & Attractiveness.
Principle 2 - Station Operability: discussing all the issues of Station Operations, Management and Maintenance, Safety, and how the station to Be Secure by Design.
Principle 3 - Station Quality: discussing all the issues of the ability for the stations to be Integrated within the context, how to achieve or Promote a good design
Conclusion
3. Part 1 - Chapter 2: Approach to Design Sustainable Transportation Hub
This chapter describes the optimal design elements and conditions for the eight typical hub types. Hub Design Guidelines begin by describing the primary framework for station design and introduce the different station types. The guidelines stress the importance of accessibility and functionality by incorporating diagrams that indicate basic relationships and components of the various station types.
Discussing the following issues:
About Central Station Hub ( Definitions and theoretical background)
Station Hub Typology and Hierarchy
Conclusion
4. Part 1 - Chapter 3: Analysis of International Central Station Hubs
This chapter focuses on the physical application of transportation hub principles on the central transportation stations planned and designed worldwide, three case studies were chosen by the researcher.
Discussing the following issues:
Study Area Background
Site Location and Community Context
Transportation Context
Hub New Proposal Project
King-Victoria Station Hub, Waterloo, Canada: The site is situated at the northeast corner of the King Street and Victoria Street intersection at the northern end of Downtown Kitchener, as a principal intersection of two arterial streets within the city that is geographic heart of Waterloo Region. It is located within the Kitchener Urban Growth Centre, as per the Places to grow legislation, and is intended to accommodate a significant proportion of the Region’s future population and employment growth in a compact, dense and transit-supportive fashion. The site is well connected to the surrounding transportation network, including transit, driving, cycling and walking options, with a number of central neighborhoods within an 800 meter walking distance.
Stuttgart 21 Central station, Stuttgart City: It is a railway and urban development project in Stuttgart, Germany. Its core is a renewed Stuttgart Central Station; Construction works began on February 2010 As of March 2013.
Squamish Station Hub, British Columbia: The District of Squamish is located between the Vancouver metropolitan area and the Resort Municipality of Whistler. Squamish is located at the meeting point of the Squamish River with Howe Sound, and is surrounded by a beautiful natural environment. Once dominated by resource-based industry, Squamish is now also capitalizing on its recreational and other assets.
5. Part 2 - Chapter 4: Ramses Station Theoretical Background
This chapter introduces the theoretical framework and understanding the theories and concepts for Ramses Square area. The theoretical framework stresses the importance of urban context and location.
Discussing the following issues:
Ramses Square Area Location and urban context
Ramses Area Historical Background
General Traffic Flow at Ramses square
SWOT Analysis of Ramses area and its surroundings
6. Part 2 - Chapter 5: Testing Central Hub Principles on Ramses Station
This chapter focuses on testing the Central hub Design and Principles on Ramses station, the critical station in the Public transportation system. The station was chosen according to certain criteria based on the following: (1) Ramses station is one of the most important public transport stations in Cairo. (2) A number of transport facilities exist within Ramses Square. (3) Ramses station is directly connected to the central Cairo.
Discussing the following issues:
Ramses Station Analysis: Design and Evaluation
Ramses Station Analysis: Station Operation
Ramses Station Management and Maintenance proposed police
The International Competition for urban design and harmony of Ramses square, Cairo, Egypt.
Design Recommendation & Conclusion
