Development of Analytical Tools for Evaluating Operations of Light-Rail At-Grade Within an Urban Signal System

Provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art review of the operation & control strategies of light rail transit systems (LRTS). Intended to serve as a basis for further research in the goal of developing an analytical tool for evaluating the operations of light rail at-grade within an urban signal system. Identifies the various at-grade crossing types that can exist for a LRTS, the operating characteristics of light rail vehicles, & the use of control devices at at-grade crossings. Summarizes both the priority strategies used by transit agencies & the methods of evaluation used to assess the impacts of LRTS.Walters, Carol H. is the author of 'Development of Analytical Tools for Evaluating Operations of Light-Rail At-Grade Within an Urban Signal System', published 1995 under ISBN 9780788116742 and ISBN 0788116746.
