Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2013
TRAM Metropolitano de Alicante, a unique, metric (1,000 mm) gage system, was the first Spanish tram–train. Later, it lost its tram–train characteristic (i.e., railway tracks shared with conventional trains) as a result of the evolution of the railway network.

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part F: Journal of Rail and Rapid Transit, 2001
Ultra light rail systems are small-scale tramways that utilize energy storage rather than continuous electrification. They have excited considerable interest because potentially they are a very cost-effective way of providing attractive urban public transport.

Light rail vehicles and running safety
ASME/IEEE Joint Railroad Conference, 2002The basic standard US LRV structural designs are virtually unchanged from those adopted 25 years ago based on a modified European subway car. With only one exception, these have not been significantly updated for or adapted to the high levels of in-street running found more and more on new light rail systems or for increased passenger safety in general.

Decision-making for light rail
Transportation Research Part A: Policy and Practice, 2009In transport literature there is an ongoing discussion on the potential of light rail in mitigating congestion and supporting mobility around urban centres. Throughout Europe and the United States, many policy makers see light rail as an interesting option to improve the accessibility of urban centres.

Long-Term Upgrade Strategy for Light Rail and Regional Rail
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2015Suburban light rail transit (LRT) and regional rail systems face similar challenges when it comes to upgrade perspectives. A particular planning process is required for upgrade measures apart from conventional alignment modifications. This study investigated the similarities between LRT and regional rail characteristics and developed a robust decision

Light Rail Vehicle Noise: Evaluation of Rail Roughness and Noise from Wheel–Rail Interface
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2016Sound Transit opened its first light rail line, the Central Link, in Seattle, Washington, in 2009. There were many community noise issues immediately after the line went into revenue service that were generally attributed to poor quality rail grinding when the initial mill scale grinding was performed. As a result of that experience, Sound Transit has

Planning for the First Light Rail Transit System in Korea: Jeonju Light Rail Transit Project
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2004Pursuing a low-cost, yet modern, high-quality, medium-capacity transit system to improve their transit services, several Korean cities have opted for automated guided transit systems. Yet in 1999 the city of Jeonju decided to introduce a light rail transit (LRT) system not only to improve its transit services but also to improve living conditions ...

Turf Track for Light Rail Systems
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2012Light rail systems are experiencing a revival in several countries. In many new and refurbished networks, turf—or grass—tracks are being used as a means to get a reserved right-of-way that entails enhancements in the city landscape. These tracks can facilitate acceptance of the system by citizens and politicians.
