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 ...
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 ...
Analysis of the Relationship between the Characteristics of the Areas of Influence of Bus Stops and the Decrease in Ridership during COVID-19 Lockdowns
(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 ...
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 ...
Experimental verification of the methodology to estimate transit dwell time from the Transit Capacity and Quality of Service Manual
(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 ...
Identifying and understanding determinants of regional differences in light-rail patronage and performance
(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 ...
A New Big Data Approach to Understanding General Traffic Impacts on Bus Passenger Delays
(Hindawi, 2023)
[Abstract:] This paper presents a new method to quantify the potential user time savings if the urban bus is given preferential treatment, changing from mixed traffic to an exclusive bus lane, using a big data approach. ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
