brief
3 trambus lines
consortium
Systra + Richez _Associés
The Douai Transport Syndicate wants to be equipped with a trambus network to eventually comprise 3 lines for a total of 30km. Our proposal is based on two factors. The agglomeration road network is marked by many breaks and discontinuities in profiles whilst the urban tissue is composite. Two main principles in response: a palette of materials that associates exposed aggregate concrete, red and Hainaut blue stone road surfaces in different locations, a «spatio-temporal» dedicated lane locally enables implantation within the site.
