Comparison of Light Rail Transit With Bus Semirapid Transit
Selection of transit modes is one of the most important decisions in the transit planning process. A particularly important decision is the selection between bus and rail modes, because it influences the type of service that will be offered and, more importantly, the role transit will play in the city. Ultimately, such a decision has an impact on the quality of life in the city. It is therefore...
متن کاملThe Highlight of Growing Light Rail Transit
Light Rail Transit (LRT) is a kind of rail vehicle form which includes from modern tramcars to speed transport. These vehicles go on special road, underground, floor or specific altitude. Today the number of active serving LRT systems in 50 countries is more than 400. Moreover, a forceful increase has been expected for next years. It is clear that this growing up has certain reasons. In this st...
متن کاملDesign of a rail transit line for profit maximization in a linear transportation corridor
This paper addresses the design problem of a rail transit line located in a linear urban transportation corridor. The service variables designed are a combination of rail line length, number and locations of stations, headway and fare. Two profit maximization models, which account for the effects of different transit pricing structures (flat and distance-based fare regimes), are proposed. In th...
متن کاملThe Effect of Light Rail Transit on Physical Activity: Design and Methods of the Travel-Related Activity in Neighborhoods Study
BACKGROUND Use of mass transit has been proposed as a way to incorporate regular physical activity into daily life because transit use typically requires additional travel to access and depart the stop or station. If this additional travel is active, a small but potentially important amount of physical activity can be achieved daily. Although prior research has shown that transit use is associa...
متن کاملEstimating the effects of light rail transit on health care costs.
In recent years, there has been a proliferation of research on the effects of the built environment, including mass transit systems, on health-related outcomes. While there is general agreement that the built environment affects travel choices and physical activity, it remains unclear how much of a public health benefit (in dollars) can be derived from land use policies that support walking, bi...
