Abstract

(57) [Summary] (Corrected) [Purpose] The establishment of a bus system adapted to an aging society that avoids traffic jams in the city center and restores bus routes, and at the same time, can make round trips to suburbs without changing trains. [Structure] It consists of a single-mode guideway bus with dual-mode characteristics, which allows guide running in the city center and general road running in the suburbs by means of a route bus and a guide device attached to the road.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention secures a bus route (one lane: 2.5 m in the illustrated example) and a general automobile route (one lane for each round trip: 2.25 m x 2) mainly on a narrow road such as a small and medium-sized city. It runs smoothly and you can arrive in a suburban housing estate without changing trains. The present invention relates to a bus system suitable for an aging society (including traffic vulnerable people).

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Buses and ordinary cars run on mixed roads on many roads in small and medium-sized cities, and buses and cars interfere with each other, resulting in a heavy dumpling on a specific day (Saturday, Sunday, and public holidays), resulting in a long time. All traffic often stops. There is no effective technology for this, and at most signal control is not possible, and drastic countermeasure technology (such as the introduction of a new transportation system) is infeasible, and it is almost the same as there is no means for clearing traffic congestion. Is.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

Car ownership amount of our country more than 63 million units in 1993 the end of the year (the world's second largest), car ownership vehicle divided by the land area (table / km ²⁾ is the first in the world, that is the world's best automobile over-dense countries Became. Buses in cities are caught up in traffic congestion, bus travel becomes unsuccessful, the number of users decreases, and bus management is in the red and is declining. It has been hurt by cost increase. Pollution and safety problems caused by traffic congestion were serious, and the revival of bus routes became an urgent issue.

The present invention secures a bus route even at a traffic jam location that occurs on a narrow road (7 m in the illustrated example) which is mainly seen in small and medium-sized cities, preferentially smoothes the bus travel, and causes the bus to jam. Provide a workaround. For this reason, we adopted a one-lane guideway bus that is particularly effective on narrow roads (7 m or less), and tried to make the bus move effectively even on narrow roads.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 Road width is narrow In this case (7m width), the central guide system is used to secure the driving lane of general automobiles (2.25m width in this example) and the central guide girder attached to the track fixed on the road surface. With (4) and the eight guide wheels attached to the front and rear axles, the travel lane of the guideway / bus can be fixed to the road surface, and the bus lane can be occupied and secured even in congested areas. Therefore, it will not be disturbed by ordinary vehicles. The dual-mode driving method is effective for the aged society (including traffic vulnerable people). The city center near the railway station (19) is the guideway driving, and the residential complex (20, 21) is running on the general road. . Passengers can arrive in the city center within a short period of time (without being obstructed by traffic congestion) without changing trains (or vice versa), and get two birds with one stone, speeding up and eliminating the inconvenience of changing trains.

In this example, the central guide system (FIG. 1) is adopted, but a double guide system (double guide beams and double guide wheels) can also be used.

Depending on the city and road environment, the lane (2.5 m in the illustrated example) that the guideway bus occupies can have a step (8) with the road surface, either positive or negative.

In the case of a double lane, the same effect can be obtained by the same means as in (5), but the required road width is wider than that of a single lane.

[0009]

[Action]

 It is safe for ordinary cars to drive at low speed in a line (incapable of passing) between the bus-only route and the sidewalk (2.25 m in this example). Since the guideway bus runs in a proprietary lane, the vehicle speed can be increased, and in terms of speed, the guideway bus is given top priority, and general automobiles are considered as second priority. Therefore, if the guideway / bus lane of the present invention is installed on a narrow road (7 m wide in this example), bus driving will not be disturbed, but general vehicle driving may cause traffic congestion, but recently This is in line with the tendency of "automobile regulation". As mentioned above, the guideway bus that runs in dual mode is convenient not only for seniors but also for general commuters.Therefore, as the number of bus users increases, the number of private cars will decrease, and traffic congestion will be improved. Connect

[0010]

【Example】

 Explaining with reference to the drawings, a large route bus (width of 2.5 m) in Fig. 1 is passed through a narrow lane (7 m road in this example), and a regular automobile (maximum width of passenger car = 1.9 m) is also used. It is possible to drive in the lane (1 lane x 2). If you use a medium-sized or small-sized bus instead of a large-sized bus, the roadway width (7 m) will be reduced to 6.2 m, which is suitable for a narrow road (see below).

[0011]

(Equation 1)

[0012]

[Effect of the invention]

A) The guideway bus according to the present invention is a dual mote that can be driven on a general road without a road step (8) by storing the guide wheels on the bottom surface of the vehicle body without the guide travel. Because of its driving characteristics, it can arrive in the city center in a short time without changing from a suburban housing complex, and is suitable for an advanced society. B) The lanes of buses and ordinary cars are separated in the city center. (A) Guideway buses can avoid traffic congestion caused by ordinary vehicles. (B) The average speed of guideways and buses will increase, and passenger travel time will be shortened. (C) Fuel efficiency and exhaust gas characteristics of the guideway bus engine (diesel for the time being) are improved. (D) Bus use will be comfortable, passengers will increase, bus management efficiency will increase, and management will be in the black, which will lead to the revival of bus routes. (E) Since the number of passengers on the bus increases, the number of private cars tends to decrease, which is effective in eliminating traffic congestion. (F) General vehicles are not affected by the start and stop of buses and travel smoothly, so fuel efficiency and exhaust gas of general vehicles are also improved. (G) Traffic accidents are reduced because ordinary cars cannot get out of speed in the city. (H) It is possible to apply a low-pollution engine that is being developed as power for guideways and buses, and clean the atmosphere in the city. Hereinafter, a low-pollution engine will be exemplified. a) Electric vehicle (ZEV = Zero Emissim Vehicle) b) Equipped with a hybrid engine = (internal combustion engine + electric motor), it runs on an electric motor in a city center where exhaust gas concentration is high, and an internal combustion engine in a suburban area where exhaust gas concentration is low The engine is used, and the surplus output is used for charging the battery as well as for running. However, there is also a method of supplying electric power to the electric motor from an overhead line or a ground line without using a battery, which is more energy efficient than an electric vehicle using a battery. In the case of a bus, the overhead line system that does not use a battery is considered to be suitable because the problem is that many batteries are installed and the driving lane is almost fixed. c) Other low-pollution engines Gasoline engines: Classification by the California Department of Atmospheric Resources TLEV (Transitional Low Emission Vehicle) LEV (Low Emission Vehicle) ULEV (Ultra Low Emission Vehicle) Methanol engine Compressed natural gas (CNG) engine Liquefaction It is not possible to install elevated guideways in cities where oil and gas (LPG) / engine (i) landscape and environment are important (due to the Preservation Law of the Ancient City). Since the present invention relates to a roadway guideway / bus, it does not harm the landscape or the environment. Therefore, it can be applied to ancient cities and cities of the same type. (Nu) Construction cost is low. Roadway Guideway buses have no elevated parts, so compared to underground railways (30 billion yen / km), new transportation systems (60 to 10 billion yen / km), and guideway buses (3 billion yen / km). At a much lower cost. (Note) Hiace Commuter and Fuso are registered trademarks in the detailed description of the device.
