Case Studies. Drawing on our team’s extensive network, we will research national best practices that may be a fit for the Client based on our work on prior tasks. For each best practice identified, we will provide a brief profile outlining the approach along with any available information on how the program or initiative was implemented. The results of this task will help shape our recommendations and will be integrated into the final deliverable where appropriate.
Case Studies introduction52 The first case study concerns the genocide committed by Bosnian Serb forces in the summer of 1995, involving the killing of thousands of Bosnian men who had gathered at the Eastern Bosnian enclave of Srebrenica.53 Though the enclave had been designated a ‘safe area’ by the UNSC, acting under Chapter VII of the UN Charter, UNPROFOR’s Dutch battalion (‘DUTCHBAT’) proved unable to protect it. In 2007, in Mothers of Srebrenica, survivors of the genocide sued the UN and the State of the Netherlands before the Dutch courts, holding them partly responsible for the fall of the enclave and the ensuing genocide. The Dutch courts held that the UN enjoyed immunity from jurisdiction. Before the ECtHR, the claimants argued that the Netherlands had breached Article 6(1) of the ECHR on account of its courts having upheld the UN’s immunity. In 2013, the ECtHR declared the application inadmissible. In its contemporary case law concerning the jurisdictional immunity of international organisations, the ECtHR has consistently found that Article 6(1) of the ECHR has not been breached. Mothers of Srebrenica, however, is the only case before the Court in which alternative remedies were not available to the claimants. The ECtHR left unresolved in that case whether it deemed the UN to have breached Section 29 of the General Convention. In the immunity proceedings in Mothers of Srebrenica, the Dutch Supreme Court had found that the lack of alternative remedies was at odds with Section 29(a) of the General Convention. By implication, therefore, according to the Supreme Court, the dispute had a ‘private law character’ in terms of that provision. The second case study concerns allegations of lead poisoning due to soil contamination in camps for internally displaced persons in Kosovo. These camps, set up since 1999, were administered by UNMIK, the UN’s mission in Kosovo, which was responsible for the interim administration of Kosovo under a UNSC mandate. Former residents of the camps alleged that UNMIK had violated their human rights, including their right to life. In 2006, in N.M. and Others, the complainants submitted claims under, what the UNMIK administrative framework referred to as, the ‘UN Third Party Claims Process’, which involved the settlement of third-party claims by a claims commission. In 2011, apparently without such a commission having been established, the UN Legal Counsel declared the claims ‘non-receivable’ for lack of a private law character. The compl...
Case Studies. In the previous task, a comprehensive literature review of existing AFC systems was conducted. The literature review helped identify current practices and innovative methods and applications on the use of AFC data. This task enhances the Literature Review by identifying three case studies. These are locations where transit agencies have utilized AFC data to develop approaches, methodologies, technologies, applications, tools, etc. to help improve their efficiencies. This was based on the available information available through documentations, project reports, and research papers. The case studies focus on the use of AFC data, the analysis, and the methods used to retrieve, analyze, and visualize the data for transit planning applications. The selected locations of the case studies are New York, Massachusetts, and Utah with their corresponding transit agencies: Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA), and the Utah Transit Authority (UTA). Below is the general information of each of the agencies: MTA The MTA (Metropolitan Transportation Authority) is North America's largest transportation network, serving a population of 15.3 million people in the 5,000-square-mile area from New York City through Long Island, southeastern New York State, and Connecticut. The MTA network comprises the nation’s largest bus fleet and more subway and commuter rail cars than all other U.S. transit systems combined. The MTA's operating agencies are MTA New York City Transit, MTA Bus, Long Island Rail Road, Metro-North Railroad, and MTA Bridges and Tunnels. The MTA transit network operates 24 hours per day. The MTA subway had a daily ridership of approximately 5.5 million and an annual ridership in 2019 of roughly 1.698 billion. It includes 472 subway stations and more than 6,600 subway cars, which collectively traveled about 365 million miles in 2019. At the end of 2019, the MTA Bus and New York City Transit bus system had 327 routes: 234 local, 20 Select Bus Service, and 73 express routes. The bus fleet had a total of 5,927 vehicles, all 100% accessible to riders with disabilities. The bus daily ridership was approximately 2.2 million and an annual ridership of 678 million in 2019. MBTA The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, often referred to as the MBTA or simply “The T”, is the public operator of most bus, subway, commuter rail and ferry systems in the greater Boston, Massachusetts, area. It is the largest transi...
Case Studies. We identified existing cases of ITHIM applications for transportation projects and conducted in- depth analysis of the cases. Based on results of literature review, we selected three cases (i.e., greater Nashville area in Tennessee, five major California MPOs, and counties in Sacramento, California) of transportation health impacts assessment in the U.S. and examined the context of HIA applications, the assessment methods and data, and regional transportation plans and actions taken after the assessment.
Case Studies. After conclusion of literature review for this project, we determined that the Integrated Transport and Health Impact Tool (ITHIM) is the most appropriate tool for conducting health impact assessment in Miami-Dade county. In this chapter, we documented results from our comprehensive review of ITHIM implementation cases in the United States, including implementations in greater Nashville area in Tennessee, five major California Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO), and counties in Sacramento, California. The case studies examined details of the ITHIM implementations in terms of contexts of the applications, calibration data, assessment scenarios, health outcomes assessed, results of the assessment, and plans and actions after ITHIM implementations. Note that discussions of XXXXX case studies in this chapter cover only technical details relevant to the implementation. ITHIM methodologies are covered in the literature review chapter.

Case Studies. 2.5.1 X. Xxxxxxx (Belgium) Berchem is an area in the South of the City of Antwerp (Belgium). The district lies between two urban roads, causing a lot of cut-through traffic. The district is characterized by linear streets and very large junctions, enhancing the speed of cars. This district is home to many families with children. The area needed to be reconstructed in a more child friendly way. The idea to implement a home zone with a speed limit of 30km/h originated from the inhabitants themselves. They created a residents’ association to prepare a home zone application. - Problems/bottlenecks: • Cut-through traffic • High speed of the cars • A lot of cars parked in the area • Dangerous junctions - Objectives • Keep out cut-through traffic • Limit speed of local traffic to 30km/h • Shared space • Increase the liveability of the street • Solve parking problem of the inhabitants Two years after the inhabitants started the residents’ association, the municipality dispensed € 27.000 to restructure the area. The city servants created the design of the area. - Solutions and evaluations: the following measures were taken • Large and busy junctions became pleasant squares: ✓ The largest squares were designed as shared spaces with some green accents, benches, … ✓ The other squares were designed with bulges in the footpath. The free space is used for green accents and benches as well. ✓ The entrance of the home zone is indicated with a special sign to limit speed and to make car users aware that they are a guest in this street. • Other interventions: ✓ A little roundabout with green accents ✓ Speed limiting infrastructure such as a speed bump. - Comments of the inhabitants: • Use of materials was elementary. • Green accents: accentuate the junctions. • Current street lighting is not enough. • Street benches: there are a few street benches but more are required. - Evaluation by the inhabitants: • Safety and comfort of the cyclists increased. • The speed of the cars still remained too high. • The comfort and safety of pedestrians increased. • The street scene became more pleasant and enhanced social contact between inhabitants. The engagement of the inhabitants remained high, even though the municipality did not always communicate that clearly on its planned activities in the area.
Case Studies. In Belgium, a playing street is a public road that is temporarily blocked by crush barriers for a certain time. The crush barriers are equipped with C3 traffic signs with an extra sign displaying “playing street” (KB, 28 October 1998). The playing street is known in several municipalities and has different appearances. Here you’ll find some examples to get an idea.
