    The document describes a proposed sky bus system as an alternative form of urban transportation. Some key points: - The sky bus would run on elevated tracks 8 meters above roads, supported by concrete piers every 15 meters. It would have few surface impacts and require little land acquisition. - Sky buses would be electric, using linear induction motors or third rail power collection. They would have regenerative braking and be capable of speeds up to 100 kph. - Sky buses would have enclosed double-walled carriages suspended from bogies, with air conditioning, wide windows, and automated doors/access control. Each pair of carriages could hold 300 passengers. - The sky bus network would have

    INTRODUCTION:

    • Underground Railway
    • Surface Railway
    • Elevated Railway
    CHARACTERISTICS OF IDEAL TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM

    • Should take less area of alignment


    • Safety
    • Noise free
    • Pollution free
    • Less economy
    • Should not disturb the existing transportation system
    Description of sky bus

    • 52/60 kg/m rails


    • 8m length , 2m width box enclosure
    • Supported over 1m dia piers
    • Distance between piers 15m
    • 8m above the road surface
    • Disc breaks
    Main components of sky bus

    • Sky ways
    • Sky bogies
    • Sky coaches
    • Sky stations
    Sky Way
    The sky way consists of
    a concrete box structure
    carried over a series of
    piers at a height of 8 m
    above existing road level.
    Two rails fixed with appropriate
    fastenings with the concrete
    box support and guide the
    sky boogie. There are no
    points and crossings.
    Sky Bogie
    • Standard two axle bogies used in metros for
    speed of 100 kmph are used of standard guage
    • Linear induction motor technology is
    incorporated-with 4th rail driving which is above
    the bogie/or 3 Ph AC motors with regenerative
    power capability.
    • Third rail is used for current collection
    • Regenerative
    • Disc brakes
    • Emergency mechanical brakes
    Sky Coaches
    • Double walled light shells with wide large
    windows are suspended from the sky bogies
    • Controlled banking on curves- even 100m radius
    curves can be handled.
    • Air conditioned and with automatic doors
    • Audio visual information to passengers
    • Special 4m wide sliding doors for quick entry
    and exit of passengers
    • Each pair carries 300 persons.
    Sky station description
    • Unlike conventional mass transit systems, Sky
    Bus needs smaller stations
    • Service is every 4 minutes that is virtually no
    waiting time for passengers
    • Totally automated without drivers or guards-and
    access control is also electronic by prepaid
    cards being swiped in
    • Stations act as only access facility, and not as
    passenger holding area
    Design loads:
    2 bogies AC motor 5t
    Tear weight of coach 6.5t
    Weight of equipment 3.5t
    Weight of passenger 9t

    Total load for bogie 24t

    Max axial load 12t


    Advantages

    • almost no land acquisition will be required, except for providing for right of way
    on existing roadways
    •Only at terminal points, minimum amount of land of the order of 2000 to 4000
    sqm of area will be required – that too at places away from the urban centre.
    • No demolition of structures or gardens
    •No Vandalism - Not vulnerable to persons throwing stones and track is
    inaccessible
    •No Vandalism - Not vulnerable to persons throwing stones and track is
    inaccessible
    •Aesthetically pleasing & no noise pollution.
    •Insulated against floods, rains and obstruction on track.
    • It can be built on roads with Fly over. It is not an impediment
    Conclusion

    Sky Bus system not only redefines the urban mass


    transport for cities , following existing roads and brings
    down the cost of service while improving quality. Sky Bus
    provides excellent alternative for mass transport- being
    derailment free and safer than existing rail-based system.
