6 futuristic projects that will change public transport

Every year travel by private transport takes more time, and the roads replacing the pedestrian zone. In these conditions need reliable public transportation that will take from point A to point B quickly and without inconveniences. Engadget has compiled six futuristic projects — from the vacuum of the Hyperloop trains hinged to the bus portals.Flying trains, Caterpillar Train


Created by Indian engineer, Ashwani Upadhaya concept work tool caterpillar train was the winner of the contest at MIT Climate CoLab. Trucks, buses and cars will stand in traffic jams and Caterpillar Train (cTrain) will be zipping for two-level hinged arch over the main flow of traffic. Unlike other similar projects, the transport system will not disturb the urban landscape is designed taking into account features of the urban landscape.

Hanging buses portals of TEB


The concept of the bus in the form of a portal that covers the roadbed and allows you to pass over the tubes, was introduced in 2010 and some delighted, and others — mistrust. In August, the TEB passed the first test in China, and although the questions to the logic of the system has proved its viability. The bus moves on special rails, and the vehicle is made in the form of an arch. Thus the TEB covers the roadway, creating the illusion of a tunnel. The column may consist of four buses and to accommodate 1,200 passengers. The developers claim that the construction of such a system will cost the same amount as the normal line of the subway.

The Future laboatory Bus from Mercedes-Benz


In July, Mercedes-Benz has tested its futuristic bus. Future Bus drove 20 km on the road in offline mode. For recognition of obstacles, pedestrians and traffic signals he used GPS, radar and a set of cameras. Predictable driving habits of the vehicle can reduce fuel costs and to reduce risks of accidents on the roads. The bus also communicates with a connected city infrastructure and know in advance about the potholes and other hazards.

Hyperloop


Although the construction of the vacuum tunnel between San Francisco and Los Angeles so far, the benefits of the innovative transport is already impressive. Conceived by Elon Musk, the system will allow you to carry passengers and cargo with a record speed of 1126 km/h. last year the head of Hyperloop Transportation Technologies — one of the startups that implement the idea of a Mask, Dirk, Albarn noted that perhaps a trip on the Hyperloop will be free. First vacuum way is to appear in Dubai not later than 2021.

Floating underwater tunnels in the fjords


In Norway fjords 1100 is focused, and the majority of the population uses to move around the country a network of ferries, but this kind of transport is time consuming and creates a lot of inconvenience. The country has long been building underwater tunnels, but the new draft represents something radically new. The floating bridge will be submerged to a depth of 30 m and will include two lanes for traffic. The project, which will invest $25 billion, will be built by 2035. Modular aircraft Clip-Air with compartments for cargo


The concept of a modular aircraft with detachable compartments for passengers and freight was introduced in 2013, and now the team from the Federal Polytechnic school of Lausanne started to create a prototype.

The modules will be transported by special trucks so that passengers can stay in the cabin for the entire trip using different modes of transport. Carriage to Clip-Air will also be thought out more logically and will save time and energy. published by P. S. And remember, only by changing their consumption — together we change the world! ©
