Watch out for the light rail, it's a test drive (2017)Aarhus Light Rail has just begun test runs in Aarhus. We spoke with director Claus Reld Mosehøj about these test runs. We are now conducting on-site tests. Our supplier is currently testing the fog system. They are testing the infrastructure, and in July, we will proceed to the first phase of our trial run. This involves testing timetables, our operating organization, and all the drivers who will control the traffic. We then test the entire system, and just before the official launch, we enter a formal test period. During this period, we run the timetable for about 14 days, then start taking passengers. How long is a train like this? We have one here. It is 32 meters long. We are buying two types. One is the biobar you see here, and the other is a Tango, which is a bit longer at 39 meters. These are some sizable vehicles, weighing between 42 and 50 tons without passengers. When passengers board, they weigh about 50 tons. Yes, yes. How many trains do we have? We are purchasing 14. They are a type of tram capable of reaching up to 80 km/h, mainly seen on the Odderbanen and throughout central Aarhus. The other type, the Tango, can reach speeds up to 100 km per hour. When you look at them, you notice some differences; the larger one is a bit more elongated. It has fewer doors per meter of running length, but they still resemble each other, showing their family resemblance. I'm not sure, but overall, 26 are larger, and 14 are smaller. How many passengers can each train carry? As for the operational schedule, we expect there to be a train in the workshop in reserve at all times; the rest, approximately 24 trains, will run continuously. That's quite a number. Some trains will operate during morning rush hours, then fewer during midday when traffic is lighter. In the afternoon, we run coupled trains and then manage the entire fleet again. Nearly all trains are in use daily. Someone mentioned to me recently, when I was in that area, that it's pretty wild, and wondered if a railing would be erected to prevent access to the track. Not really, because this isn't a railway. We learned from railways that trains run automatically with the aid of fences and barriers. This is a light rail system that interacts with other traffic at the harbor. We've worked to make it blend into the cityscape, changing zones where walking or passing is allowed but not stopping. This makes the train a new type of road user, similar to bicycles and cars. Aarhus needs to get used to this. Yes, we all need to adapt, especially when crossing areas where the train appears unexpectedly. We also need to learn to use Havnepladsen fully. I've noticed that many people have started frequenting the area, drawn to the new fountain and the view of the dock; it's becoming an integral part of Aarhus. The area involves different traffic flows. For instance, drivers can't risk staying in the left lane when they need to turn left. Instead, they remain in the middle of the railway, like at the Øringe Rade intersection. The light rail operates in three ways: on the harborfront, where it runs independently; from Randersvej and Nørrebrogade, where it runs separately but still shares the road with other traffic; and in certain areas, bicycles, pedestrians, and cars cross the tracks, requiring extra caution. When cars swerve left, a train might come from the opposite direction, but usually, drivers adhere to traffic laws. Still, if someone tries to keep pace or run a red light, they risk being overtaken from behind. It's essential to respect these rules. We have two methods to produce sound.By atvdenmark - July 5, 2017.
