A proposed new approach to light rail safety management in Spain and other countries
Novales, Margarita; Bertrand, Dominique; Fontaine, Laetitia (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 ... -
Alicante light rail: improving the use of existing railway lines
Novales, Margarita; García Cerezo, Juan Antonio; Ortega, Román (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 ... -
Analysis of the Relationship between the Characteristics of the Areas of Influence of Bus Stops and the Decrease in Ridership during COVID-19 Lockdowns
Montero-Lamas, Yaiza; Orro, Alfonso; Novales, Margarita; Varela-García, Francisco-Alberto (MDPI, 2022)[Abstract] This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the characteristics of the areas of influence of bus stops and the decrease in ridership during COVID-19 lockdowns and subsequent initial reopening ... -
Bus with high level of service in Nantes, France: Characteristics and results of the bus way in relation to light-rail transit
Conles Barrera, Emilio José; Novales, Margarita; Orro, Alfonso; Anta, Javier (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 ... -
Environmental Impact of Mobility in Higher-Education Institutions: The Case of the Ecological Footprint at the University of A Coruña (Spain)
Pérez-López, José-Benito; Orro, Alfonso; Novales, Margarita (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 ... -
Evolución de los sistemas tranviarios
Bugarín, M. R.; Novales, Margarita; Orro, Alfonso (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. ... -
Experimental verification of the methodology to estimate transit dwell time from the Transit Capacity and Quality of Service Manual
Montero-Lamas, Yaiza; Orro, Alfonso; Novales, Margarita; Currie, Graham; Reynolds, James (Elsevier, 2023)[Abstract:] This study compares the theoretical and actual dwell times of urban buses in A Coruña, Spain, and trams in Melbourne, Australia, to evaluate the accuracy of the Transit Capacity and Quality of Service Manual's ... -
High speed turnouts’ geometry
Bugarín, M. R.; Orro, Alfonso; Novales, Margarita (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 ... -
Identifying and understanding determinants of regional differences in light-rail patronage and performance
Ramos-Santiago, Luis Enrique; Novales, Margarita; Varela-García, Francisco-Alberto (Elsevier, 2022)[Abstract:] For the past three decades light-rail transit has been a key strategy for advancing sustainable mobilities in cities around the globe. International comparative studies, however, are few and infrequent, and the ... -
Impact on City Bus Transit Services of the COVID–19 Lockdown and Return to the New Normal: the Case of A Coruña (Spain)
Orro, Alfonso; Novales, Margarita; Monteagudo, Ángel; Pérez-López, José-Benito; Bugarín, M. R. (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 ... -
Increasing Boarding Lost Time at Regular Bus Stops during Rainy Conditions: A Case Study
Novales, Margarita; Orro, Alfonso; Pérez-López, José-Benito; Feal García, Jorge; Bugarín, M. R. (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 ... -
