AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

At certain boarding points, after a PRT vehicle leaves the station, subsequent passengers need to wait for vehicles from other locations to arrive before they can board, resulting in a common situation where people are waiting for vehicles.

Method used

Design an island-type station structure, including berth areas, up-line tracks, and down-line tracks. Buffer lanes are set between the berth areas and connected to the berth areas for temporary vehicle storage, solving the problem of supplementing vacant berths and reducing passenger waiting time.

Benefits of technology

By setting up buffer lanes, vacant parking spaces can be replenished in a timely manner, solving the problem of vehicle replenishment in island-style station structures, reducing passenger waiting time, and improving the coordination difficulty of station scheduling.

Abstract

This invention relates to the field of PRT technology, and in particular to an island station structure based on PRT vehicles. The structure includes a berth area, an up-line track, and a down-line track. The berth area connects the up-line and down-line tracks. At least one end of the berth area is provided with a buffer lane, located between the up-line and down-line tracks and connected to the berth area. This island station structure based on PRT vehicles allows for the placement of a certain number of PRT vehicles in the buffer lane during normal operation. When a PRT vehicle departs from the berth area, vehicles in the buffer lane can promptly fill the vacant berths in the berth area. This eliminates the need for PRT vehicles from other locations to enter the station and move to the boarding point before subsequent passengers can board, thus solving the problem of replenishing vacant berths in island station structures and effectively alleviating the problem of people waiting for trains.
