Concept and Feature of “Eco-Ride”: Unmanned energy-saving public transport system

摘要

Test track and prototype vehicle of “Eco-Ride”, a novel unmanned energy-saving publictransport for short-distance trips, have been developed applying roller coaster technologies. Adesigning simulator for vertical curves of track geometries for the Eco-Ride to deploy realfields to flexibly fit land shapes has also been developed.
