Characteristics of the Bimodal Tram in terms of Traffic Engineering

교통공학적 측면에서 바이모달 트램의 특성 연구

Recently, a variety of new transportation systems have been developed or introduced, but there has been a lot of confusion in the selection process of systems because there is no such domestic cases, and a lack of information on the systems. It does not make sense to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the systems in a single frame because each system has different characteristics and purposes. It is important to compare the relative values of the systems considering the status of the project site, transport demand, costs, and environmental aspects of cities. In the present paper, the operational system and infrastructure technologies of the bimodal tram developed in Korea were investigated. Based on this, the values for the bimodal tram was compared with similar new transportation systems through several practice cases. It is expected to promote in the practical use of the bimodal tram through this study.
