Abstract

The paper presents the concept of transport technology with a use of the super-light rail vehicles. Mechanical and service parameters of these vehicles are determined. In the structure of the vehicles many typical road car elements are used. Firstly, in 1995, the model of the vehicle as an adaptation of two typical road microbuses was developed. In the second step the prototype of the super-light vehicle has been established. This vehicle is passenger and environment friendly. Energy consumption is two-time less than in the typical tram. Due to weight the degradation of the rail infrastructure is decreased. Non-conventional control systems, as well as traffic safety problems, have been analysed. (A) For the covering abstract see ITRD E114352.
