Essential Design Points of Traffic Engineering Design for Modern Tram

Modern tram is a new type of rapid transit system, more and more cities have built or are planning to build tram systems. Traffic engineering design is crucial to ensuring safe operation and smooth coordination of pedestrians, social vehicles and trams. However, current traffic engineering design along tram lines is lacking unified standard, and existing traffic engineering designs along tram lines are also uneven. Therefore, it is necessary to integrate trams into the three elements of traditional road traffic, to define the objectives and main principles of traffic engineering design, and to put forward main design contents, overall design process, as well as essential design points of traffic organization design and traffic facilities design, providing useful reference for future tram traffic engineering design.
