A new way of transport in urban context.
China has also come up with a trackless train technology, which follows painted dots on the road. The innovation is a cheap and environmentally friendly substitute to the conventional rail systems.
The Operation of the Trackless Train.
The train will have sensors detecting white painted dots on the road. These dots provide tracks similar to virtual tracks which make the vehicle steer with accuracy and stability without the use of metal rails.
Reducing Cost by Intelligent Engineering.
The conventional railway building requires massive steel, concrete, electrification and years to develop. These expenses are eradicated by the trackless train, and thus, it makes transportation in urban areas cheaper.
Eco-friendly Mobility Solution.
The trackless trains are powered by electricity as opposed to diesel engines. This greatly cuts down the emissions so that the system is cleaner and safer to the urban set-ups.
Elastic paths to Urban Economic Development.
The virtual tracks can be changed unlike the fixed rail systems. Cities can repaint new dotted lanes and immediately new routes are formed without any significant construction.
Less Construction Process and Upheaval.
The development of railways usually interferes with traffic and local companies. Trackless trains do not require long construction period hence they easily integrate in the city roads.
Perfect in the formation of urban locations.
Trackless trains can be used by the cities that plan to increase the number of the public transport in the shortest time possible. They present the advantages of trams without suffering the great cost of laying rail lines.
Energy Saving and Power Battery.
Trackless trains operate on rechargeable batteries which give long distances of recharge. This saves cost of operation and favors the clean energy policy of China.
Medical Light Rail Design.
The trams look like the modern trams, with the interiors spacious, doors wide, accessible, and easy to accelerate without tracks.
Autonomous movement is made possible by Smart Sensors.
The existence of advanced sensors identifies dots, tracks the environment, evades obstacles, and keeps a perfect alignment. This provides semi autonomous operation that has enhanced safety.
Appropriate to City and Suburban commuting.
Trains that do not have tracks link city centers and the expanding suburbs. They are less maintenance-intensive and run well in normal asphalt highways.
Higher Passenger Transport Capacity.
The trains have the capacity to transport hundreds of people and this congestion in buses is minimized as well as reliance on personal cars.
Convenient in the case of emergencies and change of route.
In case some roads are closed or being repaired, the operators are able to divert quickly the virtual track. The great strength of dynamism in urban settings is flexibility.
International Cutting-edge of Virtual Track Technology.
Similar systems are being explored in the countries of Europe, Asia and Africa. The success of China has prompted the world cities to rethink the cost effective means of transport.
Improving Urban Beauty and Urban Accessibility.
The city roads are cleaner because there are no overhead wires or metal tracks. Trackless systems have an easier way of access amidst the disabled passengers and the seniors.
A Smart City Future-Ready Solution.
Trackless trains become part of the smart city networks, which allows coordination through GPS, synchronization of the traffic signals, and real-time information about the passengers.
Conclusion: Trackless Trains are Redefining Modern Urban Mobility.
The painted-dot train in China shows that transit systems of the future can be even cheaper, cleaner, flexible, and efficient, as well as have significant benefits in terms of growing cities across the world.
