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 .
