●ADVANTAGES
●CONCLUSIONS
The sky bus technology offered by Konkani railway
corporation . It redefine the thinking and planning for
urban transport being eco-friendly.
Sky bus is a suspended railway system, can never capsize
nor collide due to its design and construction technique a
eco-friendly.
A unique mass transit system which than can be
put up within any two years in any crowded and
congested city for safe transportation without loss
of time.”
● Path in which Sky Bus travels,
● Includes concrete box – supported by piers,
● Two rails – appropriately fixed – to guide the bus.
● Standard two axle bogies,
● Speed of 100 kmph (max. 160 kmph),
● Linear Induction motors – to be driven,
● Disc & Emergency brakes.
● Double walled shells – wide large windows,
●Air – conditioned travel – automatic doors,
●Audio – visual information – passengers,
● 2m x 2m space – easy entry & exit
● Stations – sky buses halt,
● Smaller area consumption,
● Fully computerized – entry by electronic swiping cards,
● Lifted 5.5 – 6m above G.L
● As long as the wheels
are on the rails, the coach
runs.
● But failure of rails /
obstruction by a heavy
wind force may create
dangerous situations
●When the wheels climb
25 to 30 mm flange, then
derailment occurs
If derailment occurs, then there is
nothing to hold the coach, then the
coach just topples.
Such falling of coach can kill people
inside the coach and also people on
the road, if any
● Derailment arresters
● Safety airbags are provided with each coach
● Compared to conventional railway systems, the centre of gravity of the mass being carried on the wheels is brought down to be closer to the wheel support. Hence dynamic safety is many times improved
● In conventional railway wind can topple the trains. In Sky Bus wind cannot topple- there is positive link between the rail guidance system and the Bus Coaches- with 400%.
This research confirms that the advantages of sky bus
technology are tremendous. For overpopulated Indian urban
areas, sky bus seems to be the best solution for safe, quality,
and inexpensive mass public transportation.
Indian state governments and metro city corporations are
waiting for final approval from experts. If sky bus project
receives approval by experts for its track tests, sky bus will
become the solution for urban public transportation in 21st
century, at least for India.
