Rail Transit Integration
The potential for rail transit to accomodate extremely high numbers of people in a limited space allows a network designer develop a system with many route choices requiring few or no transfer stops, a high probability that any tranfer can be accomplished at a cross=patform to a waiting train and only a limited station area is required at expensive to construct dense urban locations. The influence of basic parameters such as train length, close-up and dwell times plus the use of split trains extensive passenger information displays and platform gates for depature control on that extraordinarily high passeger capacity will be examined.
