Light rail transit: Cost and output
Journal of Urban Economics, 1980Abstract Growing concerns about environment, oil depletion, and traffic congestion call for a fresh look at mass transit—specifically non-polluting, low noise, nonoil-consuming, high-speed electric transit. This article attempts to relate cost to output, both for light rail and the alternative transit mode, i.e., the express bus.

LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT SHARING THE RAILTRACK SYSTEM.
Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Transport, 1996Development of light rail transit in the UK has been impeded by the high costs of creating new rail alignments in urban areas. This paper sets out the basic requirements for track sharing and then discusses issues of special relevance to civil engineering. The rail profiles and track standards of light rail transit are different from those of Railtrack.

Quantification of Rail Displacements Under Light Rail Transit Field Loading Conditions
2017 Joint Rail Conference, 2017While timber crossties are widely used in North America, the popularity of concrete crossties has increased significantly in recent years. Concrete crossties require the use of premium elastic fastening systems to have a proper and stable system. The primary role of fastening system is to attach the rail to its support preserving track ...

Light rail transit in the United States
Transportation, 1980In recent years interest in light rail transit has grown substantially in the United States. The concept of LRT is increasingly viewed as a possible answer to the search for a less costly rail transit technology that could reduce America's dependency on the private automobile and put the country on the road to a more secure, self-sufficient energy ...

Hudson-Bergen Light Rail Transit System
2002Research Assistant Kai Wang prepared this case under the supervision of Professor John B. Miller as the basis for class discussion, and not to illustrate either effective or ineffective handling of infrastructure development related issues. Data presented in the case may have been altered to simplify, focus, and to preserve individual confidentiality ...

Does light rail transit increase physical activity? [PDF]
, 2013 Moderate walking between home and transit stops can be a significant portion of daily physical activity. Yet, we know little about the role of public transit in promoting physical activity at the neighborhood level. Using a pre-post treatment-control research design, we examine whether new Expo light rail transit has any impact on physical activity ...

Bus transit interface with light rail transit in Western Canada
Transportation Research Part A: General, 1984Abstract New light rail service usually calls for routing feeder buses at the outer rail stations. This implies early service planning for revisions to an existing bus network—Part I analyzes bus or trolley revisions in Northeast Edmonton, by comparing the before and after conditions.
