CVE30003 | Light Rail Network_1
1LIGHT RAIL NETWORKExecutive SummaryThe paper focuses on a hypothetical case study in which light rail is developed within the city ofCanberra. The main aim of this paper is to reflect the advantages of light rail network within acity. It is identified that Canberra is one of the busiest city within Australia and thereforedevelopment of light rail system is found to be advantageous for the people of Australia. Thelight rail system helps in providing proper travelling experience to the people and in addition tothis, it is also considered environment friendly as it does not create pollution. In this assignment,conceptual design of the project of light rail development has been elaborated. The paper alsodiscusses significant information like route alignment and delivery model that are found be verymuch useful for the development of light rail network.

3LIGHT RAIL NETWORK 1. Introduction Light rail is one of the transport systems that assist in providing numerous opportunitiesfor solidifying the entire structure of the city. The main purpose of the light rail network is toreduce pressure from rush hour traffic like busses, office cars and more (Chandler 2015). In thispaper, a hypothetical case study on light rail system is considered that is mainly proposed inCanberra. The project is mainly developed in order to provide the facility of light rail to thepeople of Canberra including all districts. It is analyzed that Canberra is one of the busiest cityand thus the development of light rail is very much advantageous for the people of Canberra. Thetopography of the city is quite helpful in creating ridges across the roadways and thus very muchless space is utilized for the implementation of light rail network (Capital Metro Agency 2014).Creation of ridges for the light rail network also avoids road blockage and provides properopportunity to the passengers of the light rail to enjoy the travelling experience without anytraffic congestion. The assignment elaborates the usefulness of light rail network. The paper illustrates theconceptual design of the project that is mainly proposed within the city of Canberra. Theconceptual design of the project includes route alignment, delivery model, financialconsideration and benefit cost ratio. The details that are provided in this paper are quite helpfulin the development of light rail network.2. Definition According to Birdsall (2015), light rail network is referred as electric borne transportsystem, which is generally developed in different stages in order to enhance both speed as well
