  • Technological Evolution of Manila Light Rail Transit System
    International Journal of Advanced Science and Technology Vol.89 (2016), pp.9-16 http://dx.doi.org/10.14257/ijast.2016.89.02 Technological Evolution of Manila Light Rail Transit System Tomas U. Ganiron Jr IAENG, Hongkong College of Architecture, Qassim University, Buraidah City [email protected] Abstract This study focuses on the different elements of Manila Light Rail Transit System Line 1 in Metro Manila with the aim of characterizing its technological evolution and putting in context its impact in terms of what it is best designed for and what it can deliver. The study provides the concept of understanding the recent operation and developmental resolutions that the management of LRTA line 1 is providing as a preparation to uplift the socio-economic conditions of the commuters. Through the application of technology and scientific principles by means of transportation engineering for managing the facilities of the LRTA line 1 system, the system can provide safer, more rapid, more convenient, economic and environmental friendly way of transportation for the increasing demand of commuters. However, LRT 1 is best designed to substitute conventional railway services on routes where much higher capacity is required and to reduce travel time, further improving the railway service, also against other modes, therefore leading to mode substitution. Keywords: Highway engineering, railway transit, road engineering, transportation engineering 1. Introduction The traffic jams in Manila are staggering. Only a few traffic lights often disregarded separate the combatants. Every one force his way across the junctions, thus blocking everyone else and so the government decided to find a solution.
