PROFESSIONALLY DESIGNED

1. Technical Seminar on Presentation by AKSHAY P B

2. CONTENTS INTRODUCTION NEXT GENERATION TRANSIT SYSTEM FEATURES OF TEB COMPARISON WITH CURRENT TRANSIT SYSTEMS KEY STEPS FOR IMPLEMENTATION POWER SUPPLY TO BUS WHY IN INDIA ? CONCLUSION REFERENCE

3. Traffic jams Pollution Fuel cost INTRODUCTION

4. The concept of Transit Elevated Bus(TEB) was introduced in China in 2010, which is the world’s largest polluter. Currently, four types of public transport systems are used in China. That are, Subway Light rail train BRT(Bus rapid Transit) General bus INTRODUCTION

5. 5 High initial cost Long time to build High maintenance SUBWAY

6. 6 Reconstruction of roads Chances of accidents Comparatively slow LIGHT RAIL TRAIN

7. 7 BUS RAPID TRANSIT(BRT) Takes more road space Pollution Noise

8. 8 GENERAL BUS Noise Pollution Less capacity Parking space

9. 9 NEXT GENERATION TRANSIT SYSTEM The model looks like a subway or a light-rail train bestriding the road on both sides. Powered by electricity or solar energy. Reduces the traffic jams by 20%-30%.

10. 10 TRANSIT ELEVATED BUS [TEB] Huge elevated public bus. Straddles on two road lines. Can Carry 1200 passengers. Allows smaller vehicles to pass under it. Takes no road space. Reduces traffic jam by 30%. Powered by electricity or solar power. Can reach speeds up to 37 mph(60 kph ).

11. 11 Costs about 5.36 billion rupees to build the bus and a 40KM long path for it, approximately 7% cost of metro system. Its 4 - 4.5 M( nearly 15 feet) high with a passenger deck and 7 M in width while other vehicles lower than 2 M( nearly 7 feet) can move under it. FEATURES OF TEB

12. 12 FEATURES OF TEB Warning alarms are provided underneath to warn cars from getting too close to the bus (radar scanning). Cameras are fitted at the bottom which can be used to monitor from the driver cabin. Large windows are provided to avoid backward illusion for the vehicles passing below it.

13. 13 Big cities can be modernise their traffic signalling system to prioritize public buses. Emergency braking system is provided incase of accidents or emergency situations. FEATURES OF TEB

14. 14 Escaping doors (similar to inflated ladder in planes) are in-built. Built-in slides engage when necessary during any emergency situations. FEATURES OF TEB

15. 15 Ultrasonic waves are put forth from the end of the bus, that is to keep high cars or trucks away from entering under the bus. Indicates light when any obstacles are in the path of the vehicle. FEATURES OF TEB

16. 16 Metro costs a lot and takes a long time to build. BRTs takes up road spaces and produces noise and pollution. General buses have less capacity. Large parking spaces are required. 16 It is cheaper and construction takes less time. It saves road spaces, efficient and high in capacity. Traveling with these buses will consume less time so its more sophisticated and time efficient. Large parking spaces are not required and can be parked on roads without affecting other vehicles. Present Transit Systems Straddle Bus System

17. 17 Re - modelling of the road : Laying Rails - The rails will be laid on both sides of the road and the bus can run on the rails and saving 30% energy due to less wheel rolling resistance. KEY STEPS INVOLVED IN IMPLEMENTATION Paint White Lines - The white lines are painted on both sides of the road and buses will have auto pilots which will follow these lines and run stable while moving.

18. 18 There are also two ways in dealing with station platform. load/unload through the side platforms. Using the built-in ladder at stations, so that passengers can go up and to the overpass through the ceiling door. BUILDING STATIONS

19. 19 MUNICIPAL ELECTRICITY The setting is called relay direct current electrification. Bus itself is electrical conductor. Two rails built on top. Allow charging post to run along the rails of the bus. PARTLY SOLAR POWER Use super capacitor. It can charge, discharge and store electricity quickly. Charging is done when bus stops on station. Achieving zero toxic gas on the process Solar panels provided on the stations POWER SUPPLY TO BUS

20. 20 20 Metro rail transit system Straddle Bus system It requires huge infrastructure, which incurs more initial investment It requires more land to build. elevated structures. It runs only on electricity. It can carry 1000 passengers at a time. It does not require elevated structure It does not require more land, as rails will be laid on the road itself. It runs on electricity as well as solar energy. it can carry up to 1200 passengers at a time. Eco-friendly

21. 21 India is second largest in population. Because of High population density, India's major cities are facing traffic jams. 30% of traffic jams can be avoid by using straddle bus. As a developing nation India facing air pollution. Straddle bus can prevent 2640 tons of carbon emissions that 40 buses emit annually. Fuel cost in India is high comparing with other nations. 860 tons of fuel can be save by using straddle bus. Shortest construction life cycle of nearly 1 year to build for a 40kms path. Can be implemented in most of the Metropolitan cities. WHY IN INDIA ?

22. 22 It runs above cars and other road vehicles, saves road space. It uses electric or solar power and thus reduces the air pollution. It reduces up to 20-30 % of traffic jams. It is safe, efficient and has high capacity. It is eco- friendly CONCLUSION

23. 23 The Straddling bus was first exhibited on the 13 th Beijing international high-tech expo in 2010. The basic idea was proposed by Shenzhen Hashi Future Parking Equipment Company. First trial run was done in  Beijing's  Mentougou district by late 2016. The city of Manaus, Brazil is planning to install this bus on their streets. APPENDIX
