- W2024602158 abstract "Guided bus is a transport concept which ought more properly to be termed ‘guidable bus’, because its essentlal characteristic is that the vehicles can operate steered on ordinary roads in the normal manner or can be guided wherever infrastructure is provided for this purpose. Guided bus is intended to bring together the best features of road and rail transport to provide a high-performance, highly reliable system offering origin-destination transport for the majority of users, in today's idiom, genuinely a seamless rapid transit system. Compared to ordinary busways, guided busways offer the opportunity for substantial reductions in the amount of space required and provlde an enhanced ride and performance. Buses can be guided electronically or mechanically; although research on the current generatlon of guided buses started with electronic guidance, the greatest success has been achleved with mechanical guidance. In particular, the concept of kerb-guidance where the vehicle is steered by two 180 mm dia. solid rubber wheels in a bus lane provlded wlth 180 mm high kerbs set 2·6 m apart, has achieved greatest provenance with over 12 years of continuous operatlonal use. Because guidance need only be provided where congestion or circuitous road networks would otherwise delay buses the design of any system needs to explore localized opportunities as well as the overall system performance. Introduction can be incremental, as funds allow and needs require. The operational design implications for a guided bus system therefore are that great care needs to be taken in the application of a broad range of design features in a wide variety of potential applications to achieve the most cost-effective and efficient rapid transit system." @default.
