Brampton’s LRT Plan The latest idea of building the 23 kilometer Light Rail Transit System which planned to run from Port Credit to the Brampton Go Station has created a huge division between some of the residents of Brampton’s downtown core and the City of Brampton’s Council Committee. “Light Rail Transit is a transportation system based on electrically powered trains, designed to be easy, reliable, frequent, comfortable and convenient.” (Fausto, 2015) The design phase began in December

is an important factor to consider for safety, convenience and comfort. One of the main sources of discomfort related to illumination is glare. Glare occurs when the eyes are exposed to a source of light greater than that for which the eyes are adapted. Glare can either occur from the artificial lights inside the train carriages or externally from the sun with complications ranging from mild discomfort and annoyance, to an impediment to vision and reduction in safety (Oborne, 1978).

The security of rail transportation in the United States Rail Security falls into two categories, namely, passenger rail and freight rail. Passenger rail together with the mass transit is among the transportation subsector networks that provide numerous means of transportation from access points to end destinations connecting to other modes of transportation (Department of Homeland Security, 2007).

urged the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) – which transformed into the Surface Transportation Board (STB) in 2003 – to support the merger, declaring that it would make liberal cost diminishments and organization updates and in this way invigorate rail contention in the West.

Rail This mode of transport is reliable and fast and one of the most important ways by which people and goods are transported. (Train History , 2017) Rail transportation is referred to as ‘movement of on guideways’ and rails are the most common guideways. However technological progress made monorails and magnetic levitation trains now available and although railways are a result of the industrial revolution, they have been affected by continuous innovations, technical, regulatory and commercial
