Automatic Guided Transit
High Speed Systems and Trains
Technical, economic and
environmental features
| Conventional LRT: | Dual mode LRT: |
| - intermediary technology between bus and
subway - highly versatile and easily integrated - best suited for the urban environment - high quality of service provided by efficient and attractive rolling stock and operating methods: easily accessible, efficient in speed and regularity, safe - limited impact on the environment (non-polluting, noiseless, limited visual impact) - serves as a backbone for an urban area network. |
- compromise between modern LRT and
suburban railway - transport system running without transfer on a tram line and on railway infrastructures - takes advantage of opportunities available on the conventional railway network to cover greater distances - reduces overall average infrastructure costs - reduces traveling times and passenger transfer between urban and peripheral areas. |
- optimize decisions regarding infrastructure, system performances and costs to best fit socio-economic environment
- best integrate the system to fit in highly restricting urban environments
- forecast the system capacity to be operated and its efficiency
- optimize rolling stock selection given the cost limitations and the required technological and comfort levels
- analyze possible limitations with the setting up of the system.
