[0041] As shown in FIGS. 1-5, a low-altitude orbital high-speed vehicle includes a track 1, a car 2, and a general control system.

[0042] According to the demand, a plurality of tracks are set to form a traffic network, the car 2 is connected with the track 1 and moves along the track;

[0043] A plurality of cars 2 are provided on the traffic network, and the general control system plans the running path of the car according to the passenger riding demand and the running state of the car.

[0044] In the present embodiment, the car 2 is connected with the track 1, and the car 2 moves under the control of the general control system. Such a traffic system does not occupy ground space, and the car 2 automatically runs according to the planned route under the control of the general control system, without intervention throughout the journey, and has a high degree of intelligence.

[0045] The high-speed vehicle means that the appearance of the device is similar to the existing car, and the difference is that the existing car runs on the road, and the high-speed vehicle provided by the embodiment runs at low altitude along the track. In particular, the high-speed vehicle does not rely on mechanical equipment such as an engine for operation, and the size of the high-speed vehicle is smaller than that of the existing ordinary car. The inside of the car 2 is only an intelligent interaction system and a seat, and the mass of the car 2 is also relatively light compared with the existing ordinary car. Moreover, the high-speed vehicle is not affected by the ground environment during operation, and the running speed of the high-speed vehicle is higher than that of the existing car.

[0046] In addition, the car 2 can run in both directions, and the seats in the car 2 are arranged in a face-to-face manner. Due to the running speed of the car 2, the speed is increased, and the safety belt is a three-point safety belt.

[0047] The running state of the car 2 includes state information such as running speed, running position, start and stop.

[0048] The total control system includes a cloud end and a car end. Each car 2 is provided with a car end, and the car end is in communication connection with the cloud end.

[0049] The car end includes a collection unit, a local control unit and a driving unit.

[0050] The collection unit is used for collecting the state information of the car, and sending the state information of the car 2 to the cloud end.

[0051] The cloud end formulates a running strategy of the car according to the state information of the car 2, and sends the running strategy of the car 2 to the local control unit.

[0052] The local control unit controls the running of the driving unit according to the received car running strategy.

[0053] The collection unit and the local control unit are in communication connection. In an emergency, the local control unit formulates a car running strategy according to the car state information collected by the collection unit, and controls the running of the driving unit according to the formulated car running strategy.

[0054] In summary, the driving unit is used for controlling the running of the car. The car 2 is automatically running under the control of the local control unit. The control of the car by the local control unit includes two forms. One is to control the running of the driving unit according to the received car running strategy, and the other is to control the running of the driving unit according to the car running strategy formulated by the local control unit in a specific situation. The specific situation can be an emergency, such as a communication failure between the cloud end and the car end.

[0055] It should be noted that the driving of the driving unit on the car includes speed control, direction control, parking control and other controls related to the running of the car.

[0056] The acquisition unit includes a camera, a radar, a position sensor, and a speed sensor, and is configured to acquire visual, distance, position, and speed information around the car 2.

[0057] Specifically, the acquisition unit can acquire visual information around the car through the camera.

[0058] The acquisition unit determines distance information of the car through the radar, which includes distance information between the car and adjacent cars, tracks, and obstacles, and the cloud or local control unit controls the running state of the car according to the position information of the car. For example, when the distance information exceeds a safety setting value, the cloud or local control unit controls the car to stop running or run at a reduced speed according to the position information of the car 2. The radar enables the car 2 to predict dangers in advance and adjust the running state of the car in a timely manner.

[0059] The acquisition unit acquires position information of the car through the position sensor, and determines whether the car is on a reasonable running path by acquiring the position information of the car in real time.

[0060] The acquisition unit acquires the running speed of the car through the speed sensor, and determines whether the car 2 is at a preset running speed by acquiring the running speed of the car in real time. If the running speed of the car 2 deviates from the preset running speed, the running speed of the car 2 is adjusted according to the preset running speed.

[0061] The track includes a track body and a support structure 4.

[0062] The track body is erected on the support structure, and the track body and the support structure 4 are connected by assembly.

[0063] Specifically, the track includes a plurality of track bodies, and the plurality of track bodies form a complete track by assembly.

[0064] The support structure 4 and the track body can be manufactured in advance according to design requirements, installed by assembly during construction, and repaired by replacement during later maintenance.

[0065] The ride demand includes a ride starting point and a ride destination, and the general control system dispatches the car closest to the ride starting point according to the ride starting point of the passenger. The general control system plans an optimal path and an alternative path according to the ride starting point and the ride destination of the passenger, and when the optimal path does not meet the same ride condition, the car can run on the alternative path.

[0066] Specifically, passengers can also make reservations in advance. For example, if a customer needs to travel at a certain time, he or she can make a reservation through the operation program. The car will run to the designated location according to the customer's reservation information. The designated location can be a station. Several stations are set up on the traffic network for passengers to get on and off the car.

[0067] Specifically, stations are set up on the traffic network to facilitate travel. People can make reservations in advance through their mobile phones (with an operation program installed on the phone). However, to prevent congestion, the car will only wait for a certain period of time. Alternatively, passengers can use the car that has just arrived at the station, which is convenient and efficient.

[0068] There are idle cars and reserved cars at the station. The idle and reserved cars at the station will have obvious signs. Reservations can be identified through facial recognition or other methods. For example, an indicator can be installed on the car, which can display the car status and car number. The car status can be reservation information, idle status, or use status. There can also be a guide device at the station. Users can find their reserved car or idle car through the guide device. When searching for their reservation information, users can use facial recognition, scanning, or card swiping to find their car. When the user finds the reserved car or idle car, he or she can enter the car through facial recognition, scanning, or card swiping.

[0069] Further, the traffic network includes a main network and a station network connected to the main network. The main network and the station network are two independent networks, both of which are provided with tracks. When the car stops at the station network, it will not affect the operation of the car on the main network. Thus, the running efficiency of the low-altitude track high-speed car can be improved.

[0070] The traffic network is designed and planned based on the shortcomings of the existing road network, the characteristics of different regions, and the flow of different people. For example, in areas with heavy traffic and sufficient space, more traffic networks can be set up.

[0071] The total control system controls the running state of the car, including controlling the running speed of the car. The total control system controls the running speed of the car according to the state of the car's running path.

[0072] The total control system uses an intelligent AI system. The intelligent AI system uses big data for total control. Passengers only need to inform the destination without driving. The total control system will balance the speed and route of each car through big data calculation based on the existing car route speed and destination, so that all passengers can reach their destination quickly and safely. The total control system will also automatically allocate the number of cars and routes based on reservation data.

[0073] The car includes a drive unit, which is driven by electricity, and a power supply system is provided on the transportation network to supply power to the drive unit.

[0074] The car can be set as a single-person, double-person or multi-person box according to the scene needs.

[0075] The low-altitude rail high-speed vehicle does not use batteries and gasoline as power, greatly reducing the weight of the vehicle body, and completely solving the problems of spontaneous combustion and petrochemical energy consumption and environmental pollution caused by the use of batteries and petrochemical energy (polluting the environment during mining, use and recycling). The use scene is flexible, and there are many sites, whether in urban areas or across cities. The construction and use cost is low, and the operation is simple. As long as the old and the young can speak clearly, they can ride alone and shuttle at will. The number of cars can be increased or decreased according to demand. The car is maintained at regular intervals at designated maintenance sites. Multiple maintenance sites can be set up in each area. The maintenance site is equivalent to a honeycomb to ensure the quality and quantity of running cars. Each maintenance site is equipped with a mechanical arm. The car is powered off after arriving at the maintenance site. The mechanical arm can easily remove the car for maintenance or installation and operation.

[0076] Because there is no red light and no traffic jam, plus multiple safety systems and the support of double tracks, its speed will be very fast (can exceed high-speed rail). The design speed has higher efficiency compared to existing transportation methods. In order to ensure safety and make the best use of clean energy, protective covers can be installed on both sides of the track. Solar panels can be used on the top of the protective cover and the side facing the sun, which not only provides protection but also saves energy.

[0077] The drive unit includes a moving device that runs along the track. The moving device includes an upper moving device and a lower moving device.

[0078] The track includes an upper track and a lower track, and the moving device includes an upper moving device and a lower moving device. The upper moving device and the lower moving device are respectively arranged at the upper and lower ends of the car, and the upper moving device and the lower moving device respectively run along the upper track and the lower track.

[0079] The moving device is floatingly connected with the track. The floating connection between the moving device and the track can be achieved through damping devices and the like. The floating connection between the system and the track can provide buffering performance during the operation of the car, so that the car has better riding comfort.

[0080] As shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 4, the upper track and the lower track can be a single track, or can be a double track. Specifically, as shown below, referring to FIG. 4, in the present embodiment, a structure is provided in which the upper track and the lower track are double tracks. Both the upper track and the lower track include a left track and a right track, and the left track and the right track are symmetrically arranged. Both the upper moving device and the lower moving device include a left moving device and a right moving device, and the left moving device and the right moving device are connected to the corresponding left track and right track, respectively.

[0081] The connection between the moving device and the track allows multiple support points between the car and the track, which makes the car more stable.

[0082] The moving device includes a wheel carrier and a wheel arranged on the wheel carrier. Specifically, the wheel is connected to the wheel carrier through a positive steering device.

[0083] Specifically, a shock absorber is arranged on the wheel carrier. By arranging a shock absorber on the wheel carrier, floating connection between the moving device and the track can be achieved, which can improve the comfort of the car.

[0084] When the car changes tracks or turns, the positive steering device can drive the wheel to deflect at an angle, so as to change the track of the car and turn the car. As shown in FIG. 5, two intersecting tracks are shown. If the car needs to change from one track to another track, the positive steering device drives the wheel to deflect, so as to change the car from one track to another track.

[0085] In order to facilitate the car to run from one track to another track, a turning baffle 5 is arranged at the intersection of the tracks and at the entrance end of the track. The turning baffle can move from one track to another track to open the entrance end of different tracks, and provide a guiding effect during the turning of the wheel, facilitating the turning of the wheel. The dashed line position in FIG. 5 is the two different positions of the turning baffle 5. It indicates that the turning baffle 5 can be at the entrance end of one track or at the entrance end of another track. The specific position can be changed according to actual needs.

[0086] A track groove is arranged on the track, and the wheel travels along the track groove. The cooperation between the wheel and the track groove can facilitate the installation of the wheel and can limit the wheel to prevent the wheel from detaching from the track.

[0087] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and are not limited thereto; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that: it can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement to part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
