1SYSTEM SCIENCE AND ENGINEERINGExecutive SummaryThis project is based on the development of a new light rail system in the city of Canberra,Australia. The two terminal points of the route will be Central Canberra and Gungahlin and theentire route will be 12 km long. The main focus for the route design is that the route will passthrough all the important commercial and educational sectors as well as the main points of othertransport terminals like bus depot, railway stations, ferry ghats and airport. In this report, thedifferent design features of the proposed light rail system have been critically analysed andpublished.

3SYSTEM SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING1.0 IntroductionCanberra is the capital and one of the biggest cities in Australia. Due to the extreme rushof the passengers during the peak office hours, the traffic gets extremely congested and themovement becomes slow considerably. In order to solve this situation, the government hasproposed to develop a light rail system that will be able to reduce the load of passengers usingother transportation modes (Birdsall 2016). However, for the implementation purpose, theproject must go through a large number of phases spanning over 20 years of design, developmentand hard work of all involved personnel. According to the proposed plan, the light rail systemwill be able to reduce vehicular traffic by 30% in the first five years of operation.In this report, the detailed plan and the design aspects of the project have been criticallyanalysed and discussed.2.0 Preliminary DesignIn this project, a new light rail system will be developed for Canberra where it isexpected to lighten the excessive load of passengers in other transports mainly during the rushoffice hours. The preliminary design features of the light rail system will be as follows.Initial Purpose– The initial purpose to be fulfilled through this project is to reduce theheavy traffic from other transport vehicles like cars and buses during the rush hours. Hence, theroute must be placed such that it passes through the main arterial zones within the commercialsector as well as some of the important residential zones so that the commuters can easily reachtheir destinations from their living places during the office hours (Ney and Gray 2014). Hence,the initial purpose of the project is to design the route through the most populated and the
