◗ TPF GETINSA EUROESTUDIOS Implementation of a Tramway Line in the Avenida Diagonal of Barcelona: In Avenida Diagonal, Barcelona, we are facing the challenge to replace bus services by a tramway line, as buses have reached their maximum capacity and operate at a commercial speed that barely reaches 10 km/h. It is a corridor that could even host an underground subway line with a commercial speed of 30 km/h. To that end, the tramway, which will run on the surface and will not have an impact on vehicle and pedestrian traffic as it will be subject to traffic lights, must operate at a commercial speed of about 20 km/h, with vehicles up to 60 m in length (buses are 18 m long). For this purpose, the avenue section will be restructured to ensure that the tramway runs on a reserved right of way. Additionally, new traffic signals must be implemented to create a “green wave” for a passage interval of 120 seconds in each traffic direction.
