Central Washington Passenger Rail Feasibility Study

The project involves conducting a ridership feasibility study for a proposed passenger rail service in Central Washington State. The study will focus on the Cascade and Columbia River railroad right of way, stretching from Okanogan/Oroville to Wenatchee, Washington, and connect to BNSF and AMTRAK Empire Builder services. The primary goal is to analyze demographic and economic data to assess the potential demand for passenger rail service in the region. The project will also evaluate existing transportation infrastructure and its capacity to support the proposed service. This study aims to inform economic development and tourism initiatives, providing valuable insights for local stakeholders, including government agencies, businesses, and community groups. The project offers learners an opportunity to apply classroom knowledge in transportation planning, data analysis, and stakeholder engagement.

Optimizing Manufacturing Processes

Conduct a comprehensive process mapping or value stream analysis to optimize production efficiency. Compare "stick built" home construction versus factory built home construction. Is there waste reduction via factory home construction versus on site - stick built home construction? When manufacturing a home in a factory - does impact contractor and employee workers compensation claims? If so, which method has the lower rate of injury? Analyze the production process, from raw material acquisition to product delivery, using process or value stream mapping techniques. Identify waste areas, such as overproduction, excess inventory, or unnecessary transportation, and propose lean solutions to streamline operations and reduce costs.

Rio Grande Valley Passenger Rail Feasibility Study

The Rio Grande Valley Passenger Rail Feasibility Study aims to evaluate the potential for a new passenger rail service in the Rio Grande Valley region. The project will involve conducting a comprehensive needs assessment to identify the most beneficial and cost-effective routes for the rail service. Students will analyze population data to determine the best areas for ridership and assess the environmental impact of the proposed rail routes. Additionally, the project will require identifying suitable locomotives and estimating overall project costs. The goal is to provide a detailed feasibility study that will help Integrated.Travel Research and Development make informed decisions about the viability of the passenger rail project. This study will involve close collaboration with the project administration team to ensure that all goals and timelines are met.

Vancouver Island Rail Ridership Analysis

The Vancouver Island Rail Corridor, spanning from Courtenay to Victoria and intersecting at Parksville, requires a comprehensive ridership potential analysis to justify the significant investment needed for its restoration. The project aims to apply modern ridership prediction methods, such as direct-demand modelling (DDM), to forecast travel demand based on factors like population density, socioeconomic conditions, land use, and existing transportation infrastructure. This analysis will provide evidence-based insights to support strategic decisions on service frequency, capacity planning, and marketing efforts, ultimately aiding in the revitalization of the rail corridor. The goal is to enhance regional connectivity and contribute to sustainable transportation solutions by identifying key areas with the highest ridership potential.
