Costs and benefits of green tramway tracks

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Green tramway tracks have been increasing installed as an alternative to standard rails placed on concrete sleepers or grooved rails during the last decades in many cities since vegetated tracks bring benefits for society. In this article, we summarize and compare the benefits of grass and low-maintenance tramway tracks and link them with their investment and maintenance costs in two cities in the Czech Republic. We conclude that grass surfaces deliver slightly higher rainwater retention capacity while the rest of the benefits is similar for grass and low-maintenance surfaces. The investment costs are similar for grass and low-maintenance surfaces but maintenance costs are 30x higher for grass than for low-maintenance surfaces.
