The sky bus technology offered by Konkani railway

corporation . It redefine the thinking and planning for

urban transport being eco-friendly.

Sky bus is a suspended railway system, can never capsize

nor collide due to its design and construction technique a

eco-friendly.

A unique mass transit system which than can be

put up within any two years in any crowded and

congested city for safe transportation without loss

of time.”

Sky Way

Sky Bogies

Sky Coaches

Sky Stations

Traverse arrangements at terminals

● Path in which Sky Bus travels,

● Includes concrete box – supported by piers,

● Two rails – appropriately fixed – to guide the bus.

● Standard two axle bogies,

● Speed of 100 kmph (max. 160 kmph),

● Linear Induction motors – to be driven,

● Disc & Emergency brakes.

● Double walled shells – wide large windows,

●Air – conditioned travel – automatic doors,

●Audio – visual information – passengers,

● 2m x 2m space – easy entry & exit

● Stations – sky buses halt,

● Smaller area consumption,

● Fully computerized – entry by electronic swiping cards,

● Lifted 5.5 – 6m above G.L

Traverser is a system which automatically shifts sky

bus unit from one track to another

● As long as the wheels

are on the rails, the coach

runs.

● But failure of rails /

obstruction by a heavy

wind force may create

dangerous situations

●When the wheels climb

25 to 30 mm flange, then

derailment occurs

If derailment occurs, then there is

nothing to hold the coach, then the

coach just topples.

Such falling of coach can kill people

inside the coach and also people on

the road, if any

● Pollution – free

● Noise – free

● Economical

●Air – conditioned travel

● Derailment arresters

● Safety airbags are provided with each coach

● Compared to conventional railway systems, the centre of gravity of the mass being carried on the wheels is brought down to be closer to the wheel support. Hence dynamic safety is many times improved

● In conventional railway wind can topple the trains. In Sky Bus wind cannot topple- there is positive link between the rail guidance system and the Bus Coaches- with 400%.

● Performance

● Safety

● Low Capital & Running Costs

● No demolition

● No waiting for passengers

● Low operational cost

● Low charges

● No problem of traffic jams

● High capacity

● Luxury comfort

This research confirms that the advantages of sky bus

technology are tremendous. For overpopulated Indian urban

areas, sky bus seems to be the best solution for safe, quality,

and inexpensive mass public transportation.

Indian state governments and metro city corporations are

waiting for final approval from experts. If sky bus project

receives approval by experts for its track tests, sky bus will

become the solution for urban public transportation in 21st

century, at least for India.
