Intelligent Rubber Tired Tram with Flexible Service

초록

The bimodal tram, one of new transportation systems, is driven by electric power and guided by automated system on the track with magnets inserted into the ground. Its power source is obtained from engine generator or fuel cell system. It is designed to provide railway service without rails and overhead wires. Application of fuel cell system to railway is planned to start with light train or tram to relieve traffic congestion and air pollution in urban areas. The bimodal tram is currently powered by hybrid of CNG engine generator and lithium battery for practical use, but will be reshuffled with fuel cell.
