Pendulum passenger and luggage transport train - has only last vehicle stopping for rapid boarding and alighting in containers

摘要

Travelling time is reduced on a rail system with no additional acceleration sectors needed, and passenger disembarkation and luggage unloading are simplified. This is achieved by stopping only the last coach of a train at each station. Passengers and luggage, accommodated in containers, are unloaded. Simultaneously, new ones, previously mechanically loaded into other containers, are loaded on and the vehicle starts, catches up with the train, and is coupled to it again. The system is also designed to save energy as only a part of the train is decelerated and accelerated.
