What Is The Difference Between A Trackless Train And A Rubber-Tyred Bus?

Compared with modern trams, trackless trains use rubber tires to replace traditional steel wheels and rails and do not need to lay special tracks. This so-called trackless train actually has a virtual track called the "smart track".

Smart rail trains seem to have no tracks, but they actually have 'tracks'. This is using a technology called "virtual track following control". To put it simply, it identifies the virtual track lines on the road surface through various sensors on the vehicle and transmits the operation information to the train "brain", that is, the central control unit. According to the instructions of the "brain", while the train realizes normal actions such as traction, braking, and steering, it can precisely control the driving on the established "virtual trajectory" and realize intelligent operation.

Compared with the rail train in the traditional sense, its track has changed from the previous real track to the current virtual track. The two white dotted lines in front of you are a track that it needs to follow when it is moving. In addition, there are 12 tracks in the whole train. Such a rubber tire with a diameter of nearly 1 meter replaces the original steel rail (wheel).

It's so long, will it get stuck if you turn around like a bus?

The quasi-rail train is about 32 meters long, 2.65 meters wide, and 3.4 meters high, which is two to three times the length of an ordinary city bus. It is like a greedy snake. It shuttles on ordinary roads. Will it not get stuck when turning around? ? This is another new technology: the train adopts a "multi-axis steering system" and other design methods to intelligently track and control the virtual trajectory. In this way, the turning radius of the entire train is equivalent to that of ordinary buses, and the aisle width is smaller than that of ordinary buses, making super-long turns no longer a problem.

The white dotted line on the test site is the virtual track of the whole train, and the train will run strictly according to the dotted track like a train. The turning radius of the whole train is equivalent to that of ordinary buses, and the aisle width is smaller than that of ordinary buses, which solves the turning problem of a super long body and a flexible "fat man". At the same time, the smart rail train adopts a double-head design similar to the high-speed rail, which saves the trouble of turning around.
