OPERATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF URBAN MONORAIL SYSTEM
Monorail systems are one of many different types of fixed guideway transit systems available for application in urban environments. While monorail systems have been in revenue service for nearly one hundred years, only recently have some of the operating characteristics been upgraded to be comparable to those of other driverless urban systems. This paper highlights some of the operational characteristics of urban monorail systems that already have entered or will in the near term enter service, using representative examples from the Bombardier product line and experience.
