Passenger Transport System of a Trestle Type for City Electric Transport

Abstract:

During the years of evolvement traditional modes of transport actually have depleted reserves intended for their further development. However, the growing population in major cities, massive migration, economic and social processes bring forward absolutely new passenger transportation requirements, which can’t be satisfied to the fullest extent nowadays, and in the nearest future they will serve as a powerful factor in its development. Fundamentally new technical solutions, which would tackle the whole complex of problems (security, a distance range, travel time, cost of transport; one-time investment, etc) more efficiently, are required. The use of separate track structures solves these problems most effectively.
Having analyzed various options of passenger transport complexes with separate track structures, the authors concluded that the track structure in the form of the elevated trestle of a pipeline type is the most rational for urban conditions.
