- Summary
- "TRB's Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 2275 consists of 14 papers that examine light rail turf tracks, light rail crashes, streetcar dwell time, determinants of light rail mode choice, tram-train systems in Europe, urban rail in China, and rail transit travel time reliability and estimation of passenger route choice behavior. This issue of the TRR also explores proactive recovery from rail disruptions, optimization of rail transit alignments, personal rapid transit as feeder-distributor to rail, sketch-level feasibility analysis of commuter rail service, lessons learned from former electrified commuter railroads, competences gap in European railways education, and commuter rail level boarding"--pub. desc.
