Transcription

1 20 s 1/18 ComplexTrans I an important part of Complex Mobility disruptive global land transportation system of persons and goods in cities and between cities BASED ON RAIL-ROAD MARRIAGE with many further features based on existing technologies in new combinations only. A little bit different Jiří Hofman and much better SKODA TRANSPORTATION land transportation Pilsen, Czech system Republic and life style

2 20 s 2/18 In direct competition the road won over the rail but the society and environment have lost But the result is not good We have many nice and perfect road and rail vehicles and wide infrastructure

3 20 s 3/18 It means - we need another transport solution Solution A Shift to Rail Public and railway transport support and private CARs and LORRIEs transport restriction restricted Advantages: less energy demand, less oil need, less pollutions, less traffic jams etc. Disadvantages: less comfort, LESS FREEDOM, more complicated, more expensive

4 20 s 4/18 Let s take one more step forward Solution B Shift to Rail and Road Mutual adaptation of road and rail vehicles and their close cooperation Advantages: as SOLUTION A, BUT MUCH MORE + more comfort, more FREEDOM, less complicated, less expensive etc. Common re-development of existing vehicles ComplexTrans Railroad can become SELF-FINANCING AGAIN

5 5/ s Four main vehicle types of ComplexTrans system Coupemobiles adapted private cars for 5 person and luggage Goods (and personal) mobile transportation modules Mixed (goods and passengers) double-deck railway coaches Short but not small ( 2x2x2) Extendable axles New Electrical personal drive cars 3,2 m Additional features - parking by lifting - garnitures ride - public transport support - non ride usage New lorries (transportation modules) 4,5 x 2,55 m, 3,5 t 8 europalettes Features - self loading/unloading to the ComplexTrans coaches - garnitures ride behind the towing vehicle New trains Upper deck - sitting/lying passengers 46/22 Lower deck - coupemobiles (crew inside) 6 pcs - personal modules with sitting passengers 3 pcs - goods modules 3 pcs - eventually standard cars 3 pcs 200 km/h 20 m On train end connected fast freight waggons solo or small groups Fast freight waggons

6 6/18 30 s Lots of work has already been done in cooperation with technical universities EU-FP5 UIC?

7 7/18 30 s Railway City 1 Railway Highways Example with COMMON transfer terminal LOCATION OF TERMINALS NEAR CITIES, WHERE TWO COMPLEXTRANS LINES AND TWO HIGHWAYS CROSS

8 4650 mm 8/18 30 s Two-story railway platform for double-decker coaches WAITING GOODS TRANSPORT MODULES Door opening Upper deck Lower deck 2800 mm Goods modules waiting Loading platform Coupemobiles coming Unloading platform Tractor waiting

9 9/18 80 s ComplexTrans what, how and why Mixed Transport Mobility, Efficiency, use as conventional car cooperation with AIR transport City transport improvement and reduction Speed, Comfort, Safety, Independency high train frequency Multiplication effect Cooperation road/railway Multiplication effect + no more train schedules Significant decrease of traditional freight trains Liquidation of railway yards Common transport of cars, persons, goods CARS + LORRIES new forms and arrangement New development of road vehicles Electric drive Oil dependency reduction Free roads. No lorries. Much more safety. ride in garniture new forms of parking E-Network inclusion Renewable resources support Emissions (CO 2 ) reduction parking places sufficiency non ride use public transport implementation travel at home at work saves time, energy and costs brings long-term economic growth supports social security links continent s nations respects sustainable development

10 10/18 80 s ComplexTrans what, how and why Mixed Transport Mobility, Efficiency, Everything Other is new use as conventional car cooperation with AIR transport City transport improvement and reduction Speed, Comfort, Safety, Independency high train frequency Multiplication effect Cooperation road/railway Multiplication effect + no more train schedules Significant decrease of traditional freight trains Liquidation of railway yards Common transport of cars, persons, goods CARS + LORRIES new forms and COUPEMOBIL arrangement New development of road vehicles Electric drive Oil dependency reduction Free roads. No lorries. Much more safety. ride in garniture new forms of parking E-Network inclusion Renewable resources support Emissions (CO 2 ) reduction parking places sufficiency non ride use public transport implementation travel at home at work saves time, energy and costs brings long-term economic growth supports social security links continent s nations respects sustainable development

11 11/18 80 s ComplexTrans what, how and why Mixed Transport Mobility, Efficiency, Speed, Comfort, Safety, Independency high train frequency Cooperation road/railway Significant decrease of traditional freight trains Liquidation of railway yards existing feature Persons- Multiplication effect and goods- Multiplication effect + no more train schedules land transport Common transport of cars, persons, goods friendly existing feature use as conventional car CARS + LORRIES new forms and COUPEMOBIL arrangement New development of road vehicles Electric drive Oil dependency reduction Free roads. No lorries. Much more safety. Energy cooperation with AIR transport City ride in garniture new forms of parking E-Network inclusion and Renewable environmentally resources support friendly Emissions (CO 2 ) reduction friendly City transport improvement and reduction parking places sufficiency non ride use public transport implementation travel at home at work saves time, energy and costs brings long-term economic growth Society supports social security links continent s nations friendly respects sustainable development

12 50 12/18 s 50% decrease of energy demand in land transport 20% decrease of energy demand in road transport Acceleration of road transport electrification Full electrification of land transport and oil independence Support of renewable sources of electric energy Sigificantly reduction of CO2 pollutions in land transport Establishment of continual powerfull transport system 20 benefits of system ComplexTrans transport, energy, sustainability, people, money INCREASE OF MANPOWER MOBILITY AND SOCIAL SAFETY SUPPORT OF ECONOMICAL GROWTH NATIONS COMING TOGETHER Close cooperation TIME AND MONEY SAVINGS with AIR transport ENSURE OF RAILWAY SELF-FINANCING Increase of road transport quality Increase of transport safety, comfort, speed, independency Big transfer of personal road and air transport to railway Usage of cars outside of transport Resolving of parking problems in cities 50% decrease of city transport density Creation of additional comfortable public city transport system Big transfer of goods transport from road to railway and reduce of goods trains

13 Distance (km) 13/18 50 s 2000 ComplexTrans First class travel ONE DAY RETURN TRIP by ComplexTrans All velocities are travel velocities 1500 with maximum safety for economy price THE TRIP STARTS ONLY HERE AGGREGATE ACCESIBILITY for one way YOU ARE HOME ON THE RAIL Duration (hours) 7

17 17/18 30 s Logical step in transport development ComplexTrans road-rail global land transport system What else? There is only one big BARRIER in our heads. And there is one big DANGER something similar (ever not so good) can be done by road vehicles and without railroad, if we hesitate. And it will be a big PITTY for both road and rail. Think about it! When does start the future? hofman.ji@gmail.com jules.verne.ppmc@gmail.com
