• Abstract:
  This report represents the results of computer simulation work using Federal Highway Administration's NETSIM model of evaluate the delays incurred by automobile traffic when light rail transit (LRT) vehicles cross arterial streets at-grade. The operation simulated indicates the upper bounds of delay that would occur when light rail transit vehicles operating in street medians, and special signal phasing are not considered.
