railway tracks and rubber-tyred tracks Explanation: A rubber-tyred metro or rubber-tired metro is a form of rapid transit system that uses a mix of road and rail technology. The vehicles have wheels with rubber tires that run on rolling pads inside guide bars for traction, as well as traditional railway steel wheels with deep flanges on steel tracks for guidance through conventional switches as well as guidance in case a tyre fails. Most rubber-tyred trains are purpose-built and designed for the system on which they operate. Guided buses are sometimes referred to as 'trams on tyres', and compared to rubber-tyred metros.[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber-tyred_metro Rail transport (also known as train transport) is a means of transferring passengers and goods on wheeled vehicles running on rails, which are located on tracks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rail_transport The track on a railway or railroad, also known as the permanent way, is the structure consisting of the rails, fasteners, railroad ties (sleepers, British English) and ballast (or slab track), plus the underlying subgrade. It enables trains to move by providing a dependable surface for their wheels to roll upon. For clarity it is often referred to as railway track (British English and UIC terminology) or railroad track (predominantly in the United States). : The technology of rail tracks developed over a long period, starting with primitive timber rails in mines in the 17th century. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Track_(rail_transport) en Term: railway track fr Term: voie ferrée Term reference: Lex ferrov https://iate.europa.eu/entry/result/1601073/all In context: There are two types of tracks: railway tracks and tyre tracks". |
