• Abstract:
  A methodology is developed for relating cost to ride quality in elevated guideway ; system design, based upon directly relating guideway structural properties and ; construction tolerances to both cost and ride quality. It is illustrated in detail ; for group-rapid-transit precast concrete elevated guideway systems. These deta iled ; cost-ride quality studies include an assessment of span properties, construct ionrelated ; tolerances such as joint discontinuities, pier height variations, camber, ; and local surface roughness, and the effect of vehicle properties on cost and vehicle ; ride quality .
