Embodiment Construction

[0019] The Electrical Guide Rail Chain Bus (EGRCB) is a train like bus (FIGS. 1 & 2) by connecting several of buses together and guide by a rail and run as whole. Each bus will have two sets of tires one in the front one in the back of bus and each set of tires will have two control guide arms attached to its central rotated axial, at another end of control arms will have two set of pulley wheels which will run along the guide rail (FIG. 3). Each set of tire can rotate freely at its mid axial point relative to bus support frame and its control arm can rotate freely at each rotational joint to adjust the different road condition (FIG. 4). Electrical motor will be embedding in side the each wheel and run independently, Motor will become part of wheel to provide the driving power for the bus. Each control arm will has a sensor to measure the how many reaction between the guide rail and control arm and send this information to power distribute control device unit so that electrical powe...

Abstract

Electrical Guide Rail Chain Bus (EGRCB) is a train like buses (or vehicles) that use a modify existing freeway center divider as its guide rail system. EGRCB will travel along the most inner freeway lane. EGRCB will run by following the both horizontal and vertical curvature of freeway center divider. Each individual bus will have two sets of wheels, each wheel set have two control guide arms attached to it for guiding the bus and also acts as a bridge to transmit the electrical power from guide rail system to the bus. Bus electrical motor will embed inside each wheel so that it power output can be control independently for balance the traction between the wheels.

Description

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION [0001] Our national freeway system has become increasingly congested with traffic and it is getting worse and worse each year. One way to solve this problem is to build a public mass transportation system. Usually when we talk about the mass transportation system we talk about something like subway or metro link where these type of system has high carrying capacity with no worry about the traffic congested. But these type of transportation system will cost too mach to build and maintain. What about bus? When we think about individual bus we consider it is public transportation vehicle but not a mass transportation vehicle because its low carrying capacity and short travel distant and it is subject to traffic also. Is there any other solution there? Electrical Guide Rail Chain Bus (EGRCB) may consider as an alternative solution to the traffic problem. EGRCB basically is a train like bus several buses chain together and run along a guide rail in each major free...
