Abstract In recent years, the development of urban light-rail transit and a new tendency advanced to the standardization of light-rail vehicles in Europe arc expounded. At the same time, a bi-system traffic system suitable for the urban construction has been introduced in this paper. For the light-rail vehicles in this system, the rubber wheel tires were used for train running, and they may be used running on the special railway line also. These vehicles possess the advantages of low cost, reducing the transfer for passengers and being both usable on highways and railways. It may be used as reference for urban planning and construction of light-rail transit hereafter.
