Continuous transport system - comprises auxiliary acceleration vehicles moving between station and principal vehicle which runs continuously on main line

摘要

The continuous transport system has principal vehicles (VP) running on a line without stopping in the stations, but allowing access from and to the stations by utilising accelerating vehicles (VA). The principal vehicles have principal carriages (CP), while the acceleration vehicles have their own acceleration carriages (CA). The VA runs only between two stations and serves for the unloading and loading of passengers. When the VP passes a station it does not stop, but the CA separates from the principal carriages and the VA separates from the VP. The VA and CA slow down on an adjacent rail (RA1). Other VA's and CA's which are in the station being loaded commence acceleration during which the first VA and CA brake. ADVANTAGE - Avoids the stopping of the main transport vehicle.
