“TEOR” Transport Est-Ouest de Rouen(Rouen East-West Transit)
Objectives:Improve access to districts with high
population densities
Enable access to the congested shopping mall
Enable access to frequently used facilities (Government center, University Hospital center, University faculties)
Background of the East-West transport scheme
1994 (December): North-South light rail (with downtown subway) commissioned
1996 (December): Request for Proposals based on performance forecast for east-west light rail line
1997 (December): RFP declared unsuccessful due to high cost of rail option
1997 (December): New RFP for BRT-based system
1999 (July): Declaration of Public Utility (i.e. Project approved for National-level funding)
2001 (February): Lines T2 and T3 West enter service
2002 (April): Line T1 West enters service2003 (February): Launch of work in Rouen
city center and to the East2007 (January – December): TEOR gradually
enters service eastwards

Dealing with Narrow Rights-of-Way
Two-way lanelength: 4.5 mi.
One-way lanelength: 3.7 mi.
Unmarked lanelength: 10.2 mi.
Vehicles travel on a two-lane busway with a concrete barrier separating them from general
traffic
Vehicles travel on a single (central or lateral), with a crossable concrete strip
separating them from general traffic
Vehicles circulate with general traffic, but with fully equipped
stations
Lane StructureTEOR operation with a single center bus-lane:
• Direction of bus travel alternates by sections
• Station is always in a reserved lane so stopped bus does not block traffic

Optical guidance
Operation: The camera reads coded marks on the ground indicating the required route
A computer analyses the vehicle's position relative to the lane and transmits the required corrections to the steering wheel

Optical guidance
5 categories of alerts • Guidance malfunction: failure of the optical guidance system (OGS): system reset. • Loss of guidance: momentary loss of guidance during operation: system reset.
• Vigilance: markings misread by the OGS.• Operational: alerts caused by operating conditions and the immediate environment of the vehicle during the guidance: system reset.
• Unclassified
Alert rate per 10,000 landings in 2011
