It discusses the nature of rail systems, and how this impacts upon the design of rail stations. The different types of stations are identified. Also the configuration of rail stations, and how they are structured, is identified and discussed. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book also discusses passenger flow modelling. This involves the calculation of the speed of movement of people through a rail station; what impacts that movement, and how to maximise the flow of people. The impact to rail operations is also dicussed, such as the increase in headways that comes from poor station design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany examples and photos are provided for different station designs. Photos awere taken from across Australia and South East Asia. Many examples are drawn from Hong Kong.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso discussed is station design for light rail. Light rail stations are defined through their relationship to the roads that are commonly nearby, and the position of light rail stations should be optimised with reference to the nearby roads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book described many of the different engineering systems that accompany a rail station. This includes passenger information screens, lifts and escalators, as well as platform screen doors. This book also discusses the design of rail systems around stations, which affects how a station can be used to manage the movement of trains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.55 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 18, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45397085257830,"sku":"9780648309345","price":23.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/V0FlVFk0UzVPTTB0NlJtWkwxcFBQUT09.webp?v=1775401246","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/design-of-rail-stations-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
