Title: DEVELOPING TRAM-TRAIN SYSTEMS - TECHNICAL ISSUES ON TRACK SHARING (NL SITUATION)
Abstract: The development of a light rail system sharing track with heavy rail has been under development in the Netherlands for about ten years. Because of the historical development, the technical issues on track sharing in the Netherlands differ from other countries. The extensive use of the track is an important parameter in the discussion of safety. This paper will explain the situation in the Netherlands, specifically relating to specific issues to be solved relating to track sharing. Technical issues that need to be discussed include: platform heights; wheel-rail interfacing; traction-voltage; interference; train protection/train detection.
