RAIL TRANSIT CAPACITY

Tom Parkinson, Ian Fisher

This study investigated and quantified the variables that affect the maximum passenger carrying capacity of rail transit in four categories--rail rapid transit (heavy rail), light rail transit, commuter rail, and automated guideway transit (AGT)--in North America. A comprehensive survey of existing literature …

TRANSIT COOPERATIVE RESEARCH PROGRAM PROJECT A-8: RAIL TRANSIT CAPACITY

Tom Parkinson, Ian Fisher

Before the final report is completed in late 1995, the Transit Cooperative Research Program Project A-9, Rail Transit Capacity, is summarized with emphasis on the light rail content. The project investigated and quantified the variables that affect the maximum passenger carrying capacity …

Urban Transit Guides Application of Advanced Train Control

Sesto Vespa, Tom Parkinson

North American railway authorities are concerned about the introduction of processor‐based equipment, which often does not fit existing rules, into vital or fail‐safe functions. This situation has already been faced in the railway industry abroad, where processor‐based controls are steadily being introduced, …

RAIL TRANSIT PERFORMANCE

Tom Parkinson

Rail transit can deliver higher performance, offer lower operating costs, and have less environmental impact than other transport modes. Comparing heavy rail, light rail, and an automated, driverless rail system demonstrates how well new rail systems meet these goals.

THE JOYS AND SORROWS OF EXPORTING TRANSIT CARS TO AMERICA

Tom Parkinson

The problems which virtually forced all U.S. manufacturers out of the transit car market are detailed as well as those experienced by foreign suppliers and how they are fairing. Also noted are the Urban Mass Transportation Administration's efforts at standardization.
