ELECTRICALLY POWERED PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS

ELEKTRISK KOLLEKTIVTRAFIK I MEDELSTORE STAEDER: EN DOKUMENTATION

In December 1977 a seminar was conducted at the University of Linkeoping on the subject of electrically powered public transportation systems. During this seminar a general discussion took place on the various aspects of such systems, and the resulting report deals with the following topics: demand specification for public transportation systems in medium sized cities; energy and environmental aspects on city traffic; the Gothenburg tramcar study; tramcar traffic in Norrkoeping (a report); development of light railway vehicles; the Linkoeping case - light railway system; the uppsala case - a trolleybus study; trolleybus system in Linkoeping - cost estimation. In the last three chapters of the report, a detailed economic comparison is made with other conventional bus systems, in regard to fixed costs, running cost of the various vehicles, depreciation of assets etc. Finally, a detailed technical description is given of some of the vehicles discussed at the seminar. /TRRL/
