THE FUTURE TRANSPORTATION CONCEPT: STRADDLING BUS (CHINA)
Abstract
The main purpose is to aware people the technology used in straddling bus movements are which used in most of the developed countries. This train is equipped with a controller that enables the automatic stopping of the train from station to station. This paper presents the development process of a prototype for a driver-less straddling bus implemented using a ARM micro-controller. Simulation for the system's circuits is done with the aid of Proteus software. At present, there are mainly 4 types of public transits in China:subway, light-rail train, BRT , and normal bus. They have advantages and disadvantages, for example, subway costs a lot and takes long time to build; BRT takes up road spaces and produces noises as well as pollution to the air.In the current transportation system , the main problem faced by the people is ‘traffic’ and the overloading of public transport.Also the lots of accident occur due to human errors.High building cost and large settling time is required in current transportation systems. So we have decided to design a system which will play the main role to overcome all these problems.Our proposed system has an elevated platform to avoid problem of traffic jam. It has high public carrying capacity than regular buses , monorail. It does not required special tracks like BRT , mono , metro. Also doesn’t require large construction and can be implemented within short time.
INTRODUCTION
As we know city population increases day by day, an innovative means of public transportation with high efficiency and large capacity.my blogger information will inspire you by a Chinese innovation named as Straddling Bus. The main feature is the structure of this new conveyor. The lower part is like a tunnel through which cars can freely pass, while people stand at the upper deck. Besides the novel structure, my blogger also features in its autonomous navigation system. Also, as far as the public transportation is concerned, safety precaution measures are necessary.
Construction
Interior looks like: it has huge skylight that will eliminate passengers’ sense of depression when enter. The straddling bus combines the advantages of BRT, it is also a substitution for BRT and subway in the future. As you all know, the majority vehicles on the road are cars, the shortest vehicles are also cars. Normally our (4) overpass is 4.5-5.5 m high.
The highlight innovation of straddling bus is that it runs above cars and under overpass. Its biggest strength is saving road spaces, efficient and high in (5) capacity. There are also two ways in dealing with station platform. One is to load/unload through the (6) sides; the other is using the built-in ladder so that passengers can go up and to the overpass through the (7) ceiling door.There are two parts in building the straddling bus.One is remodeling the (8) road, the other is building station (9) platforms. Two ways to remodel the road: we can go with laying rails on both sides of car lane, which save 30% energy; or we can paint two white lines on both sides and use auto-pilot technology in the bus, which will follow the lines and run stable.Another strength of straddling bus is its short construction life cycle: only (10) 1 year to build 40 km. Whereas building 40-km subway will take (11) 3 years at best. Also the straddling bus will not need the large parking lot that normal buses demand. It can park at its own stop without affecting the passage of cars.
Straddling bus is completely powered by municipal electricity and (12) solar energy system. In terms of electricity, the setting is called relay direct current electrification. The bus itself is electrical conductor, two rails built on top to allow the charging post to run along with the bus, the next charging post will be on the rails before the earlier one leaves, that is why we call it relay charging. The set here is super (13) capacitor, a device that can charge, discharge and store electricity quickly. The power it stores during the stop can support the bus till the next stop where another round of charging takes place, achieving (14) zero toxic gas throughout the process.
Nowadays many big cities have remodeled their traffic signaling system, to prioritize public buses, that is to say when a bus reaches a crossing, (15) red light on the other side of the fork will turn on automatically to give buses the right of way.Our straddling bus can learn from this BRT method. The bus is 6 m in width and 4-4.5 m high. How will people get off the bus if an (16) accident happens to such a huge bus? Here I introduce the most advanced (17) escaping system in the world. In the case of fire or other emergencies, the escaping door will open automatically. I believe many of you have been on a (18) plane. Planes are equipped with inflated ladder so people can slide down on it in emergency. I put the escaping concept into the straddling bus.The bus can save up to 860 ton of fuel per year, reducing (19) 2,640 ton of carbon emission. Presently we have passed the first stage demonstration and will get through all of the technical invalidation by the end of August. Beijing’s Mentougou District is carrying out an eco-community project, it has already planned out (20) 186 km for our straddling bus. Construction will begin at the end.
working
This proposed system is an autonomous straddling bus and it eliminates the need of any driver in short it driver-less. Thus, any human error is ruled out. In this project micro-controller from ARM family has been used as CPU. Whenever the train arrives at the station it stops automatically, as sensed by an IR sensor. Then the conveyor starts automatically so that the passengers can go inside and outside the bus. The movement of the bus is controlled by a motor driver IC interfaced to the micro-controller. The train incorporates a buzzer to alert the passengers before staring. As the bus reaches the destination the process repeats thus achieving the desired operation.In this RFID based automatic fare collecting system using RF ID card Ticketing explained that a system that uses the station based location information. Card is sensed twice while entering the bus and while leaving the bus. The deduction of travelling fare is based on the number of stations covered between two punching. Using the station count we can find the distance traveled and amount. The amount can be deducted from the card. A micro-controller can be used to program this system by interfacing RFID card. By implementing this system the usage of loose cash can be reduced and efficient ticketing can be implemented.
