DESIGN CRITERIA FOR URBAN PUBLIC TRANSPORT LINES. THE EXPERIENCE OF A.T.M., MILAN

CRITERI DI PROGETTAZIONE DELLE LINEE URBANE DI PUBBLICO TRASPORTO. L'ESPERIENZA DELL A.T.M., MILANO

Once the structure of a public transport network has been defined from origin-destination studies, the itineraries of the various lines must be planned in terms of the existing road and traffic situation. After a critical examination (using a computer based traffic simulation model) of public transport priority layouts in the Milan road network, the author formulates some practical micro-design criteria (lane capacity, bus trajectories on curves, bus stop location, terminus design) and makes some suggestions regarding daily highway and traffic operations.
