| 摘要： | At-grade busways can be a major component of strategies designed to make better use of existing transit facilities with relatively low capital expenditures. The objective of at-grade busways is to attract auto drivers or other transit users from major traffic corridors by improving comfort, economy, travel time, and quality of transit services and providing express services that collect transit riders from residential neighborhoods and parking facilities. The main advantages of at-grade busway transit system include flexibility, self-enforcement, incremental development, low construction costs, and implementation speed. While it is important that the general public understands the technical aspects of at-grade busways, it is even more important that the potential users become aware of the enhanced quality of services provided by a busway system and its attractiveness in terms of shorter commuting time and minimal environmental impact. This report presents to transportation official a guideline for planning and design consideration for at-grade busway systems. The report reviews planning procedure for selected busway systems in North and South America, Europe, and other developing countries. Design issues to assure a safer operation of at-grade busway systems are also presented in this report. The information presented in this report in general and it can be modified according to the needs of each transit agency. |
