A line of LRT with five (5) stations will be constructed in a city. A forecast passenger demand is given
below.
(a) Compute the number of passengers between each pair of the stations for both directions.
(b) In this LRT project, headway must not be less than 120 seconds and must not be greater than
300 seconds. All stations are designed to cater a train of 6 couches. The capacity of each couch is
280 passengers. Based on the maximum passengers in (a), compute headway possibilities and
corresponding number of couches per train. You may use rail utilisation factor of 0.75 and load factor
of 0.9.
