The tram-train: a new public transport system
(Sage, 2002)[Abstract:] In response to the demand for improved mobility in metropolitan areas, the 1990s saw the development in Europe of a new transport system known as the tram-train. This system is based on the use of conventional ... -
Evolución de los sistemas tranviarios
(Universidade da Coruña, Grupo de Ferrocarriles y Transportes, 2003)[Resumen:] La revolución que ha supuesto el metro ligero en muchas ciudades europeas y americanas ha vuelto a hacer de los sistemas ferroviarios ligeros un modo de transporte atractivo para los desplazamientos urbanos. ... -
Transporte por cable
(Universidade da Coruña, Grupo de Ferrocarriles y Transportes, 2003)[Resumen:] El transporte por cable es un instrumento adecuado, en ocasiones el único, para resolver determinadas necesidades de transporte. Se emplea principalmente para transportes en pequeñas distancias con desniveles ... -
Use of a Genetic Algorithm to Optimize Wheel Profile Geometry
(Institution of Mechanical Engineers ; SAGE, 2007-07-01)[Abstract] Wear is a very important subject for Railway Administrations because it entails very important costs. So, it seems to be logical to develop a new methodology for designing wheel profiles in order to improve its ... -
Track geometry for light rail systems
(Sage, 2010)[Abstract:] As it is known, light rail systems are characterized by their running over the streets, with semi-exclusive (or “reserved”) right of way. This fact leads to the necessity of adapting the track geometry to the ... -
Overhead wires free light rail systems
(Sage, 2011)[Abstract:] Light rail systems are experiencing a revival in several countries in the world. Nevertheless, they are facing a more and more demanding market which implies continuous new evolutions and technologies. An ... -
High speed turnouts’ geometry
(Sage, 2011)[Abstract:] Turnouts are singular points of the railway track. A series of advances have been added to their design in the last 20 years, in the same way as the other elements that constitute the track structure. These ... -
Turf (grass) track for light rail systems
(Sage, 2012)[Abstract:] Light rail systems are experiencing a revival in several countries in the world. In many of the new networks, as well as in refurbished ones, turf (grass) tracks are being used as a means to get a reserved right ... -
Alicante light rail: improving the use of existing railway lines
(Sage, 2013)[Abstract:] The TRAM Metropolitano de Alicante (TRAM) is a unique metric (1,000 mm) gauge system that was born as the first Spanish tram-train, but later lost the tram-train characteristic of sharing the railway tracks ... -
LRT urban insertion and safety: European experiences
(Sage, 2014)[Abstract:] This paper provides a rough design toolkit for improving the safety of LRT (Light Rail Transit) urban insertion. This toolkit has been prepared after the analysis of more than 130 examples of good and ... -
Bus with high level of service in Nantes, France: Characteristics and results of the bus way in relation to light-rail transit
(Sage, 2014)[Abstract:] This paper is intended to identify and analyze the reasons that have led the BusWay of Nantes (France) to be one of the most – if not the most – outstanding and successful cases of setting up of a BHLS system ... -
Tranvitrén y Tren-Tranvía. Hacia una mejora del aprovechamiento de las infraestructuras ferroviarias
(Colegio de Ingenieros de Caminos, Canales y Puertos., 2016-09)[Resumen] Este libro explica qué son los sistemas de tranvitrén y tren-tranvía, estableciendo sus principales ventajas, y planteando, de forma sucinta, los retos tecnológicos y de explotación que implica su implantación ... -
A proposed new approach to light rail safety management in Spain and other countries
(Elsevier, 2019)[Abstract:] The light rail transit (LRT) has experienced considerable growth in Spain since 1994; to date, this has led to the installation of more than 200 km of light rail lines and LRT operations in 11 metropolitan ... -
Impact on City Bus Transit Services of the COVID–19 Lockdown and Return to the New Normal: the Case of A Coruña (Spain)
(MDPI, 2020)[Abstract] The COVID–19 pandemic led to restrictions on activities and mobility in many parts of the world. After the main peak of the crisis, restrictions were gradually removed, returning to a new normal situation. This ... -
The Influence of Economic Barriers and Drivers on Energy Efficiency Investments in Maritime Shipping, From the Perspective of the Principal-Agent Problem
(MDPI, 2020)[Abstract] Maritime transport stands out as a strategic sector; the increasing trend in maritime traffic makes it essential to reduce energy consumption and emissions through investment in energy efficiency. However, ... -
Residential Location Econometric Choice Modeling With Irregular Zoning: Common Border Spatial Correlation Metric
(Springer Nature, 2020)[Abstract] Residential location choice (RLC) predicts where and how people choose their residential location in the framework of land use–transport interaction models (LUTI). This paper seeks an efficient RLC model in the ... -
Environmental Impact of Mobility in Higher-Education Institutions: The Case of the Ecological Footprint at the University of A Coruña (Spain)
(MDPI, 2021)[Abstract] Ecological footprint (EF) determines the area of ecologically productive territory necessary to produce the resources utilised and to assimilate the waste produced by a given population over a year. Knowing your ... -
Increasing Boarding Lost Time at Regular Bus Stops during Rainy Conditions: A Case Study
(University of South Florida, 2021)[Abstract] Inclement weather conditions affect the behavior of travelers and transportation system operations. Understanding this influence can help improve operational planning schemes for any mode of transport, especially ... -
Spatially Correlated Nested Logit Model for Spatial Location Choice
(Elsevier, 2022)[Abstract] Residential location choice is a key component of the models for predicting land-use and transport demand in urban planning. In general, it requires to consider correlation between spatial alternatives. The ...
