Flowing City: Solving The Urban Traffic Issue With Low Cost Substitution Of Subway

摘要

Nowadays urban traffic is one of the most serious urban issues deeply influencing the normal operation and sustainable development of metropolitans. Despite many practices being implemented to solve this problem, none of them could work as a set of core schemes with high efficiency and low cost. Based on the technology of conveyor belt, the paper will discuss a new public transportation system, which has significant advantages in terms of space, time, energy consumption, investment and safety and is best applied in a large urban area where subways are not yet fully developed.
