LRT for the City of Brisbane 2Executive SummaryThe continued growth and development of Brisbane city and global climate change awareness are some of the factors that make LRT a good investment decision made by Brisbane City Council. LRT is a high-tech transport mode that has proven to have numerous economic, environmental and social benefits in many cities across the world. This report analyzes preliminary design, detailed design and development, and system test, evaluation, validation and optimization phases of the proposed LRT system. These processes will enable the design team todemonstrate the feasibility of the preferred LRT system chosen in the conceptual design phase bydetermining the right specifications, creating components and subsystems, integrating the subsystems to form a unified system and optimize every aspect so as to make it the best solution.Relevant human factors that should be considered during the design process are also discussed. These processes are critical and therefore all stakeholders have to perform their roles and responsibilities with utmost professionalism, dedicated, commitment and focus.

LRT for the City of Brisbane 41.IntroductionCities across the world are growing and developing rapidly and Brisbane is one of them. Light rail transit (LRT) is one of the approaches that many governments are using to enhance building, development and revitalization of cities[ CITATION Cit10 \l 1033 ]; [ CITATION Lee171 \l 1033 ]. The city of Brisbane has experienced significant growth over the past years, in terms of population, tourism, businesses and other aspects of economy. The city has continued to attract people from different parts of the world who visit it for tourism, education, employment, etc. With a population of more than 2 million people, transportation demand is very high in the city of Brisbane and existing public transport network is overstretched. For this reason, it is a good idea and decision for Brisbane City Council to implement a new LRT project in the city. LRT has numerous benefits, including: reduced harmful emissions,[ CITATION Sha133 \l 1033 ] reduced travel time, increased property values[ CITATION Pan13 \l 1033 ], increased employment opportunities[ CITATION Rob08 \l 1033 ], reduced congestion, increased transit ridership[ CITATION Hig143 \l 1033 ], improved human health[CITATION Mac102 \l 1033 ];[ CITATION Sto07 \l 1033 ], revitalizing declining areas[ CITATION Fog11 \l 1033 ]; [ CITATION Kit12 \l 1033 ], increased accessibility, improved social life, etc.. LRT has also become more popular because of the increased awareness of global climate change and therefore governments are using this mode of transport to cut down carbon emissions caused by transportation sector in cities. Therefore LRT will play a major role in solving some of the problems facing Brisbane, which include traffic congestion and pollution. There are several factors that affect implementation of LRT projects. One of these factors is that an LRT network is usually constructed in an area that has a wide-ranging developments, including roads, railways, buildings (commercial, industrial and residential), etc. in other words,
