Abstract

FIELD: transportation.

SUBSTANCE: tram contains the passenger car, mounted on two bogies and upper positioned the electric load. The bogies with wheels are adapted to travel on rails. The bogies are made with one-track wheel arrangement. The wheels axis are parallel to the longitudinal axis of the car. The bogies are attached to the car at its face ends. The electric load receives the electricity along the electric cable. The cable is suspended on the movable bearings, uniformly distributed on the steel rope. The rope is stretched across the highway or street in the immediate vicinity of the traffic light, controlling the traffic.

EFFECT: ability to transport the pedestrians across the highways or streets.

Description

The invention relates to rail passenger transport, mainly urban, and is intended for the transport of pedestrians from one side of the highway / street to the other.

With the growth of cities and, accordingly, cars, the problem for pedestrians in the cross-crossing of streams (sometimes continuous) of cars on the highway is growing. In attempts to unload this stream (so far unsuccessful), they follow the path (where possible) of highway expansion. At the same time, problems are growing both for pedestrians and those who are called to take care of them. Underpasses, which have no alternative yet, are becoming longer and more expensive. Abroad, they have already begun to practice the installation of moving walkways in underground passages, which accordingly makes them even more expensive.

An alternative to the underpass can be the proposed "cross" tram.

This goal is achieved by the fact that in a tram containing a passenger car mounted on two bogies, with wheels adapted for movement on rails, and an overhead power receiver, according to the invention, the bogies are made with a single-track arrangement of wheels, with axles parallel to the longitudinal axis of the car, and attached to the car at its ends. At the same time, rails laid across the highway / street are used to move the tram. The top-mounted tram power receiver receives electric power through an electric cable suspended on movable, evenly distributed supports to a steel cable stretched across the highway / street, in the immediate vicinity of the traffic light regulating the movement. The tram also contains one or more electric drive winches, with a rewindable cable, the free ends of which are fixed on opposite sides of the highway / street, providing tram movement and limiting the extent of this movement.

In FIG. 1 depicts a plan of the action of the tram. In FIG. 2 - the same side view. In FIG. 3 shows a simplified illustration of a tram arrangement.

The tram includes a passenger car 1, made similar to a subway car (with automated doors on both sides), two single-track carts 2, equipped with steel wheels with flanges 3, attached to the ends of car 1 from different sides, and an electric drive system. The latter consists of one or more electric drive winches 4, with a cable 5 rewound by them, the ends of which are fixed on opposite sides of the highway / street and devices for receiving electric power from external sources. To do this, use an electric cable 6, suspended on movable supports 7 to a cable 8, stretched across the highway / street, in the immediate vicinity of the traffic light 9. On top of the roof of the car 1 is a longitudinal truss 10, which takes all the load from the weight of pedestrians / passengers (with the goal of minimizing the height of the floor of the car 1) and on which the mast of the power receiver 11 is installed.

The tram operates as follows. Being on the edge of the carriageway (optimally, on a lane for public transport), close to a traffic light and with doors open from the sidewalk, the tram is gradually filled with pedestrians / passengers. Having reached a certain degree of filling or after a certain time (determines the on-board computer), a signal at the traffic light 9 lights up, stopping the movement of transport along the highway / street. Next, the doors in the car 1 are closed and the tram with the help of electric winch 4, rewinding the cable 5, is set in motion. In this case, the tram goes through the first half of the way accelerating and the second slowing down (winch 4 electric motor works as a generator - recovery). After the tram stops completely on the other side of the motorway / street, the doors on the side of the sidewalk open and passengers / pedestrians change to pedestrians / passengers. At the time of disembarkation, the traffic on the motorway / street resumes. Winch 4 is equipped with a braking device (not shown) in case of emergency stop. This tram must be robotic (i.e. operate without a driver).

The operation of this transport using a central computer should be coordinated with the operation of public transport (if there are lanes specially allocated for it) in order to minimize the interference it creates. At the same time, in contrast to the capital and long-term underground passage, the “cross" tram is mobile and can easily change the place of its functioning (for example, temporarily installed in the venues of major competitions, etc.) and rail tracks do not need to be dismantled for this.

Claims (4)

1. A tram containing a passenger car mounted on two bogies, with wheels adapted for movement on rails, and an overhead power receiver, characterized in that the bogies are made with a single-track arrangement of wheels, with axles parallel to the longitudinal axis of the car, and are connected to the car by its ends. 2. The tram according to claim 1, characterized in that for the movement it uses rails stacked across the highway / street. 3. A tram containing an overhead power receiver, characterized in that the power receiver receives electricity through an electric cable suspended on movable, evenly distributed supports, to a steel cable stretched across the highway / street, in the immediate vicinity of the traffic light regulating the movement. 4. Tram according to claim 3, characterized in that it contains one or more electric drive winches with a rewindable cable, the free ends of which are fixed on opposite sides of the highway / street, providing tram movement and limiting the extent of this movement.
