This leads to nine general LRT were assembled for the highest-accident locations in shared alignment types. operating environments. The LRT lines in each city were videotaped to provide a clear picture—from the operators' 2.2.1 Recommended Classification System perspective—of the traffic control and geometric features. In addition, special field reconnaissance investigations The three basic alignment classes are as follows: were made of the "problem" locations. These observations Type a.

Type b. Semi-exclusive alignments use limited grade crossings, thereby minimizing conflicts on those segments 2.2 LRT ALIGNMENT CLASSIFICATION where conflicts cannot be eliminated entirely. Operating speeds on segments other than those where automatic LRT has been defined as a rail mode of transportation crossing gates are installed are governed by vehicle speed "characterized by its ability to operate single cars or short limits on the streets or highways.

CNGVA’s first NGV Leadership Awards build on the collaborative efforts of industry and government in support of the NGV Deployment Roadmap: Natural Gas Use in the Medium and Heavy-Duty Transportation Sector – updated and recently released in collaboration with Natural Resources Canada. The awards celebrate market leadership in adopting natural gas as a fleet fuel and recognizing its environmental, economic and operational benefits. They recognize an operator’s investment in natural gas buses, training and infrastructure that has improved regional air quality, reduced greenhouse gas emissions and created local green jobs with an abundant, domestic resource. CNGVA applauds these fleet operators for their leadership and commitment to affordable, cleaner, quieter transportation. Calgary Transit Calgary Transit operates the public transit system in Alberta’s largest municipality. Operating a mixed fleet of LRT and bus vehicles, Calgary Transit is the first choice for getting around Calgary. The Stoney Transit Facility is a leading example of public-private partnerships (P3). The 44,300 square metre facility is the largest of its kind in North America, with the ability to simultaneously fuel six buses indoors from empty to full in about four minutes.

  • FACT SHEET: Transit Light Rail Speed and Safety Enhancements
    FACT SHEET: Transit Light Rail Speed and Safety Enhancements Project Description The Light Rail Speed and Safety Enhancements study has reviewed a series of speed and safety features designed to enhance light rail operations and efficiency. This study has developed conceptual designs and recommendations for safety, speed, and reliability enhancements in three study areas: one along North First Street, one in Downtown San Jose, and one comprised of key, low-speed zones and specific spot locations throughout the system. Project Goals • Enhance safety, mobility, and access for all travelers • Improve travel times and reliability for transit passengers • Increase transit ridership • Support community input and adopted land use and mobility policies Current Activities • Advancing project definition, technical studies, and conceptual design • Stakeholder outreach • Advancing signal timing changes on North First Street • Final design of a pilot project in Downtown San Jose • Securing additional funding North First Street The project area is along North First Street between Interstate 880 (I-880) and Tasman Drive. Light rail currently operates at 35 mph in the median of this stretch of North First Street which includes eight light rail stations and over twenty intersections. The project is focused on transit signal priority and traffic signal programming. Green lights will hold as the light rail approaches the intersection which will improve travel time. Traffic signals will be reprogrammed to adjust timing based on traffic patterns. This will reduce the time a green light is held after vehicles and pedestrians have crossed an intersection. The removal of left turns on Tasman at North First Street will reduce wait time for light rail, vehicles, and pedestrians.

  • Service Alerts – Digital Displays
    Service Alerts – Digital Displays TriMet has digital displays at most MAX Light Rail stations to provide real-time arrival information as well as service disruption/delay messaging. Some of the displays are flat screens as shown to the right. Others are reader boards. Due to space, the messages need to be as condensed as possible. While we regularly post the same alert at stations along a line, during the Rose Quarter MAX Improvements we provided more specific alerts by geographical locations and even individual stations. This was because the service plan, while best for the majority of riders, was complex and posed communications challenges. MAX Blue Line only displays MAX Blue Line disrupted and frequency reduced.
