The specific embodiment

Traffic system 1 according to the present invention is illustrated among Fig. 1-7, and is included in the electrically driven vehicles 2 that moves on get on the right track 3a and the lower railway 3b of underground in being arranged in tunnel structure 4, preferably uses in city traffic.Vehicle 2 has collapsible legs 5 etc., and it can getting on or off the bus of 7 places raises between the position and reduction passenger vehicle or vehicle body (coachwork) 6 in the advanced positions on other vehicle with on ground.The tunnel structure 4 interior extensions that track 3a and 3b are being lower than ground 7.Have respectively two couples of upper wheel 9a and two couples of lower wheel 9b such as the actuating device 8 with the rail compartment (railbound wagons) of electrical motor preferably, and comprise that device 10 is used for raising and reducing vehicle body 6.Wheel 9a, the 9b of actuating device move under the 3a that gets on the right track and at lower railway 3b.

Collapsible legs 5 be arranged as can be in parallelogram based system forward and fold back, when moving in the opposite direction in the rail compartment of actuating device 8, collapsible legs 5 also can fold in the opposite direction, has reduced thus vehicle body 6.This regulation must accurately be carried out, because will be maintained in the level attitude in rising and reduction operating period vehicle body.The paired compartment 8 of vehicle 2 can be provided with detouchable unitor 12a, 12b, in order to keep together in operating period chien shih compartment.

Collapsible legs 5 can have the design different from the design shown in the accompanying drawing.They can for example be designed to so-called Nuremburge scissors (Nuremberg scissors), at least one adjustable telescopic hydraulic efficiency gear, decentralizing device or in the hinged collapsible legs of the centre portion of shank.Collapsible legs may be molded to U-shaped, and wherein the intermediate rib of U extends through the slit in the ground facial plane, and wherein the end rib of shank is arranged at respectively passenger vehicle and actuating device place.

Collapsible legs 5 extends through the slit 11 of vertical setting, and extend above track 3a, the 3b of actuating device 8 in slit 11, and in guiding between the environment above the ground 7 and described tunnel structure 4.

Traffic system 1 has all advantages of electric car, such as environmental protection, quietly electric drive and comfortable, without jolting operation; But the disadvantage that does not have electric car, the entity contest at traffic peak period and other vehicle causes the traffic potential problem especially.

Thus, traffic system 1 also has the advantage of subway, and namely it reaches when being independent of all other vehicle; But the shortcoming (advancing at underground is accompanied by all problems, and this produces the passenger: walking is dark and silence on the road in neutralization impressions such as tunnel, stair, escalators) that does not have subway.

Traffic system 1 also has the advantage of bus, i.e. its alerting ability and accessibility that directly obtains from the street; And do not have the shortcoming of bus, such as polluting and congested problem.

From the angle of finance, compare traditional electric car, traffic system must become more expensive investment, but it is more than subway and more cheap in the heavy construction of below ground.

In addition, the design of the constructing part that is lower than the street height of traffic system can be in conjunction with permanent construction, this permanent construction manufactured for other based on underground system, such as electric power, telecommunications, wire television, district heating, district cooling, draining and water supply etc. is so that these systems can constantly and easily obtain.Thus, the method for excavating for various reasons and frequently the street can become ancient history.

Traffic system can also be replenished in densely populated built-up areas loading transportation, for example is used for being transported to shop and company.

Traffic system comprises passenger vehicle or vehicle body, it can be increased to more than the ground by means of so-called collapsible legs, so that the downside of passenger vehicle itself is positioned on the highest normal height (about 3.40 meters) that all other vehicles allow, and track moves at underground, namely moves under the height of street.

Collapsible legs is designed so that they are attached to a side of passenger vehicle, as far as possible near the centre in street.Shown in the accompanying drawing is that when driving vehicle under right-hand traffic, collapsible legs is placed to so that their left sides at vehicle body below passenger vehicle are outstanding downwards; Traffic is next opposite leftward.When two vehicle meetings, collapsible legs approaches thus to be passed through each other.Collapsible legs on each vehicle is passed in the narrow slit in the street and is extended down to down following rail system.When vehicle by the time, or when two vehicles meet, occupy altogether to be no more than about 25 centimetres street width in the thin collapsible legs of centre, street.

Thus, in one or more tracks, all other the vehicle can move as usual well, and the up reposefully operation of the passenger vehicle of traffic system does not have obstacle.Thus, even vehicle can carry whole passenger on public transport of a part, consequently this bus does not need to take space, street commonly used.

Owing among built-up areas, the suburb etc., vehicle can be driven as traditional electric car; In the street or on the road that separates especially, wherein the wheel on vehicle body, motor bag and the bogie truck with common mode on the ground the side track on driven.Then, during the metropolitan district that builds up when vehicle approach is more intensive, at run duration, vehicle body can rise to the position of all other vehicle tops, and the wheel on its bogie truck and motor bag slide into underground simultaneously under track, and keep operation in underground traffic.

According to the vehicle of traffic system 1 of the present invention in its basic regulations, mean for public transport want driven relatively little vehicle at time gap frequently, wherein size equals conventional city bus, enough about 50-60 the passenger usefulness in space.But also can use long vehicle; Alternatively, a more than vehicle can be connected to longer train.

Passenger's transportation condition will be unique.Among suburb, green opening space etc., a people locates to get on or off the bus at common railway platform etc. as travelling in traditional electric car.Then, when vehicle sailed in the more intensive built-up areas, passenger vehicle or vehicle body were thus lifted to a position of raising.In addition, vehicle body can be provided with the tilted window that leaves floor level, and the extra visual field is provided downwards.In a word, this provides a kind of very special travel mode.

At some station, passenger vehicle is reduced to the street height and is used for getting on or off the bus, and at other station, depends on city environment, and station itself is seated in the higher height and is connected to escalator/elevator in addition.This is the possible maximum height of vehicle body highly not necessarily.

Traffic system is easy to directly obtain from the street, just as bus or taxicar.User or passenger needn't use downward escalator or walk in the tunnel of below ground, the situation during as the use subway.

About 13 meters long usually of normal buses that are used for public city traffic.The vehicle body that the vehicle of traffic system has can be lacked a bit in its normal regulation a little, and about 10 meters, space enough approximately 50-60 passenger is used.Alternatively, can use longer distortion, have more door and more collapsible legs.

Be used for raising and be positioned in the embodiment shown the collapsible legs 5 (when using long vehicle body, should use three collapsible legs) of two parallel interconnection with the power transmission that reduces vehicle body.

In vehicle body itself, do not have motor, but the actuating device with motor is positioned at underground, especially is in the tunnel/culvert of construction for this reason.Collapsible legs is connected to actuating device by the slit of the closed conduit that leads to construction in ground.The wheel of vehicle and possible bogie truck are arranged in the culvert below ground.Utilization is to the control of driving, light etc., and chaufeur is from his/her very forward these vehicle of position operation at passenger vehicle.

But traffic system also can be developed into so that the complete computerization of these vehicle and need not chaufeur and drive vehicle.

Vehicle can be equipped with the detector of the possible obstacle of camera below vehicle body and sensing.

As traditional electric car, be useful on passenger's window at the passenger vehicle sidepiece, and in the bottom of sidepiece the window of inclination arranged, thereby provide the diagonal angle the downward visual field.

In normal situation, vehicle body is equipped be used to two doors of getting on or off the bus.Preferably, these are placed in each centre of long sidepiece.When using long vehicle, every side can be used two-door.

With reference to Fig. 7, love seat the sidepiece that faces leg attachment be placed in the door the front and back, at direct of travel for forward or backward.

On the opposite side of facing from leg attachment, in the front and back of door, settled high transverse and longitudinal seat.In the space under these seats, when travelling in lower position, collapsible legs can fold in the vehicle body.

Otherwise, as required, vehicle body is equipped with the facility/security details of all expectations/information possibility in the inboard, it also is used for traditional rail transit, such as the space that is used for perambulator and wheelchair, the seat that is fit to the disabled person, safety strap, advertising signboard, the TV screen with information, advertisement etc.

The actuating device that comprises at least one motor during low plain cloth is put is positioned on its direct placement compartment in orbit, and links to each other with the bottom of collapsible legs in uncomplicated mode, and its middle orbit extends in culvert.Thus, when driving in intensive city traffic, motor moves in culvert at subsurface, and vehicle body crosses on ground.

Motor is preferably electronic, and the utilization technology identical with traditional subway system obtained its power from independent conductor rail.Vehicle is equipped with from motor and is upward through the cable that collapsible legs arrives chaufeur.Alternatively, can use wireless system for this reason.

In the situation of engine failure, motor can easily break away from collapsible legs, and replaces to another motor.Switching engine is arranged in the public service station of underground special construction.Thus, in the situation of engine failure, there is no need car load is all stopped using, but it can be easily and is provided with simply a new motor.

In intensive city traffic, wherein to wish passenger vehicle is risen on all other vehicle, rail system is based on mixed principle, turns to respectively and puts upside down towards mutually positioning railroad track, in order to be controlled in power from the turning to side action.Traditional track is used in any other vehicle.

Rail system, exchange etc. make up in common mode.This means that the vehicle of traffic system can be driven on underground railway track and tram line, and can be driven on regular railroad track.When along long during apart from transport vehicles, for example the very first time from the destination that factory is delivered to use, preferably use the latter.

At underground, below track, be located the preferably service tunnel of pitchy road, have the space for the small-sized electric servicer.

In the fixing distance of each interval, be located the special use that is positioned at underground enlargement, parked the public service station of exchange motor.Utilize battery-driven car via service tunnel, these can reach easily quickly, do not have traffic problems.

In every side of service tunnel, can be installed in as required in vertical interlayer of special construction such as other local government service of electric power, telecommunications, wire television, district heating, district cooling, draining and water supply etc.This means that the maintenance of these systems or change can directly enter to carry out from service tunnel, namely no matter when do not need again to excavate in principle the street.

The exploitation that has in the inner city of intense traffic is that a street a street ground carries out.In the suburb, exploitation can be carried out gradually; System can set up first and operate to common ground rail transit, more afterwards, in needs, develops bit by bit underground installation.

At subsurface, the culvert system segment have have service tunnel, the ready-made caisson shape concrete element of draining etc.In these concrete elements, then technological system is placed for track and is used for electric power/TV/wire television/district heating/district cooling/draining and water supply etc.

After the street has been filled in the concrete element top, these systems can be installed.By this way, must close the street can reduce with the time that is used for traffic.

The street that traffic system will be used must be adapted in some mode.At first, about other traffic, especially pedestrian and bicycle rider must be selected according to the type in street for the safe profile of gap opening.

Centre in the street exists the vertical railing, refuge, curb or the just selection between the steel side seam (steel edged slits) that substitute.The opening in slit also can be covered by flat or analogue, and it is configured so that they cover the opening in slit usually, but when vehicle passed through, they can open (be pulled on one side, or folded up or down) automatically.

The special adjustment that is used for operation under overpass etc. does not need usually, and then, traffic system is reduced to the street height simply with passenger vehicle, and is not higher than common city bus.For this reason, can use specific detector, when when run duration approaches and adjusts, the height of any obstacle of these detector sensings.

Street lamp must be placed on the lamppost, or is placed on the house wall, rather than hangs on the electric wire that strides across the street.

According to particular case, the station can provide many different designs.When the street height moves (for example, in the suburb), as usual, railway platform can be positioned between every side of track or on.When moving in the position that is promoting, the station can be positioned on the higher height, or the location on the ground.When higher height uses the station, railway platform be positioned between every side of track or on, scheme as an alternative, the station can be arranged in building, its microbus approaches builds stop (in all these situations, getting to the station by stair/elevator or elevator from the street height).When using the station on the ground, passenger vehicle is down to the street height from the position that promotes, and is used for getting on or off the bus.

In existing busy city, a rear solution should be modal, and in the railway platform of location, many replacement schemes are arranged, all these select all be used in the common bus traffic today: wherein between every side of track or on the refuge of building up be positioned in the middle of the street, or be positioned at the street facing to the sidepiece place on footway, be arranged in addition the footway chamfering " pocket " (chamfered'pockets') among.

Must be down to the street height at passenger vehicle is used in the situation of getting on or off the bus, after the station preferably can directly be positioned four corners.Then, traffic lights may be adjusted to so that traffic system obtains its light is used for currently, and this allows passenger vehicle to reduce during passing four corners actual, does not have any other vehicle on its road, after this, the passenger vehicle that has been reduced to the street height slides into the station.Some crossing intersection part in Stockholm, this class station that directly has the signal of special adjustment after four corners has been used for bus in today.

When using other building to be used at the At The Height used during taking train that promotes/electric car, when taking monorail, magnetic suspension train or similar tool, always there are the fixed building of interference, such as post, beam, hanger rail etc. for those nigh people that live.Traffic system does not have these fixed buildings more than ground.Therefore, passenger vehicle only have when it by the time can have influence on surrounding environment.

But, when vehicle by the time have influence on surrounding environment, for example might must observe contiguous house from passenger vehicle in some cases among.

In responsive especially place (for example AT STATION, wherein vehicle is as you were), for fear of this class visual field, can use a kind of chemical glass of specific type, bus window was covered in the moment that it passes through, thereby as the one or both sides at passenger vehicle of expectation limited to see through certain window or see through all windows and observed.This can carry out automatically.

Traffic system has proposed a kind of new vehicle for city traffic, therefore, importantly will be for this system provides a series of new solutions, it proposes best possible safety traffic.

The example of this respect is: build special refuge in suitable place, and railing or other prevention building are built in the place of wanting of what is the need in office;

If someone throws into (mischief in the slit with little or large object, even sabotage), then what can not occur, and becomes so that any things that falls all drops to lower height with straight line and disappears at the System Construction of below ground, and it can be eliminated at this;

At some crossing intersection part, traffic system has its oneself light, does not wherein allow other vehicle to pass through at one time, adopts the employed mode of some public bus network today;

When travelling, vehicle body, the collapsible legs that especially is in the street height are provided with the alarm flashing lamp;

Because vehicle is so undisturbedly driven, and also can use artificial sound, adopt the employed mode of some electronlmobil today;

Collapsible legs is provided with special-purpose wipe contact in front separately on the height of street, leave any possible obstacle as a kind of snow removing machine rises " flap ";

Traffic system is provided with the detector of some, when reducing passenger vehicle, and any possible obstacle below its sensing, thus activate special-purpose automatic cut-off system, interrupt immediately descending motion.

Safety is provided well, so that chaufeur obtains good traffic overall picture, has had downward widening the vision.Vehicle below passenger vehicle and sidepiece camera can be equipped with, on all directions, provide fully control to situation via monitoring device for chaufeur.All passenger seats should be equipped with safety strap.

Environmental advantages is apparent:

Only use electric power, this means according to traffic system of the present invention to be equal to subway, train, commuter train and electric car fully;

Public bus network along same route can be eliminated, and this means less pollution and is used for less the crowding of all other vehicle;

Improve comfort of passenger, had the range of driving and the better prospect of jolting hardly.

Only use electric power, given the energy advantages identical with other rail transit instrument.The zero-emission of the toxic substance of infringement city environment occurs.

Make track at underground and make vehicle body allow these vehicle be subjected to hardly the impact of main weather in the air, avoid such as heavy snow, in orbit the problem of humidity fallen leaves etc.

Except considering this fact of interval of traffic lights in the distance, traffic system almost is independent of all other vehicle, and this particularly is an advantage during traffic peak.Public bus network along same route can be eliminated, and this means that more spaces are used for all other vehicle.

Except considering traffic lights, almost be independent of all other vehicle according to traffic system of the present invention, this so that it be easier to reduce hourage and be on time.This system can also make service frequency increase in needs, and can not affect all other vehicle.

In inland city, this system also can be used for solving loading to the large problem of shop and other company.

For this purpose, the passenger vehicle unit can comprise substrate, does not just have vehicle body.On substrate, can drive the lorry that carries cargo.Also can develop special-purpose new system, wherein some small-sized electric vehicles are driven on for example horizontal substrate, in order to picked by the chaufeur/accepter of indult for this reason.Utilize for the complication system that drives into and leave, all these type of loadings transportations can move between other vehicle on schedule.

Compare the structure electric car system, it may be more expensive making up traffic system, but want considerably cheaper than building new subway.In addition, it is in order to tackle ever-increasing volume of traffic, and is more cheap than making up new traffic route, bridge etc.And from more long-range angle, it is a kind of cheap and lasting solution for Urban Areas/city/area, the Infrastructure problem that relates to electric power, telecommunications, wire television, district heating, district cooling, draining and water supply etc. to solve it.

Basically be a kind of mass transit system according to traffic system of the present invention.
