Resumo
[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 example of
this fact is related to the requirement of avoiding visual intrusion in some areas of cities which are more sensitive
to visual impact.
This fact has led to the implementation of new solutions that try to avoid the need for overhead contact
wires through the whole network or through the lengths between stations. These solutions are based, generally,
in the use of new embedded third-rail systems; the use of on-board energy storage devices; or the use of electric
energy produced on-board the vehicle.
This paper is focused in the explanation of these technologies, their applicability, as well as their
advantages, risks and inconveniences, in an attempt to clarify available options and their reliability.
