Definitions
- the invention is part of the regular passenger transport sector
- the main disadvantage of the system is the enormous investment necessary to generate the necessary infrastructures to put the system into operation and the high maintenance price of them. It is necessary to drill tens of kilometers of underground tunnels, dig and build dozens of underground stations. In addition to the acquisition of expensive train cars, with complex machinery, safety systems, ventilation, kilometers of tracks, kilometers of catenaries and dozens of power supply substations. These systems may require the investment of more than 1,000 million Euros for every 20 km of line.
- the Metro by rail system is sufficiently developed and standardized so that any major city risks making this huge investment in highly complex projects with a high level of success.
- the present invention focuses on developing an industrial passenger transport system using the waterways of large cities with the reliability, quality and efficiency of an underground Metro transport.
- the system would be applicable in cities such as London, Paris, Seville, New York, etc. Most of the big cities have developed over rivers and are by the sea.
- the present invention relates to an urban and interurban Metro system that uses the waterways available in many of the major cities of the world to reduce the necessary investment up to 90% without reducing the quality, efficiency and reliability of the transport system.
- the new transport system which we will call from now on MetroR ⁇ o, needs a number of inventions and modifications of the current Metro model which, taken together, represent a novel and repeatable invention as a perfectly modeled industrial exploitation of waterways and seaways of big cities and not existing today.
- the MetroR ⁇ o system proposes the following changes and modifications to the current concept of the metro and passenger transport by ship:
- the catamarans will have electric motors as a propulsion system, but to eliminate the investment in the catenaries they will use an interchangeable battery system.
- the batteries will be recharged at the central stops and exchanged to the ship when they run out. This process will be done in seconds, without hindering the normal operation of the boat.
- the catamarans will have solar panels, wind generators and other systems that extend its autonomy.
- the catamarans will have an additional platform for transporting bicycles. This, together with its large automatic doors, will allow the transport of bicycles even at peak times.
- the catamarans will be of one or two floors according to the needs of the line, of the height, disposition of the bridges and obstacles to overcome in the used waterway.
- the size of the catamaran and the number of people it can transport will be determined by each model implementation.
- the frequency of passage through the stations will depend on the specific line of application but should be less than 6 minutes at peak hours and twelve minutes at normal time
- the catamarans will have an automatic docking system that reduces the time needed for the stop and exchange of passengers below the minute, similar to the stop times of modern meters.
- the automatic docking system is the main invention of the model that allows stopping in seconds and reducing the number of operators needed only to the pilot of the boat.
- the automatic berthing system is one of the claims of the current patent application and involves the development of inventions on the ship and on the jetty.
- the automatic docking system will have a set of automatic doors on the dock and on the boat that will open simultaneously and in coordination to prevent accidents or falls of users to the water.
- the doors will be large to facilitate the exchange of passengers, baby carriages, wheelchairs and bicycles even at peak times.
- the catamarans will have a special design that minimizes the generation of waves to avoid damage to the margins of the river channels and favors the playful and private use of the waterway.
- the system foresees the creation of channels reserved for MetroR ⁇ o traffic on waterways by building walls that separate traffic and isolate waves.
- VTS Maritime and River Traffic control systems (definition of the IALA) will be installed that will use radars, AIS (Automatic information System) systems and surveillance cameras to locate and control all vessels on waterways. These systems will be used to provide information to the traveler information system that will be available at all stops and boats. It will install a TETRA communications system to communicate pilots, employees and vessels with the control and operations center
- Navigation simulators will be installed with the models of the boats and the scenarios of the waterways and sea for the continuous training of pilots and employees
- the ticketing systems will have transport titles with magnetic strips without standard contact and will have a QR code printed for access to the online services for charging and recharging transport tickets
- the stops (Fig. 1 - 1) will be closed buildings with access to a floating platform (Fig. 1 - 3) by mobile ramps that correct the height difference of the water level (Fig. 2-4) due to the effect of the tides or level changes controlled by locks.
- the boat (Fig. 1-2) will enter the building and will exchange passengers on deck, after the automatic doors are opened (Fig. 1-4) of the platform (Fig. 1-3), as if it were of an underground station.
- This is a fundamental improvement of the current system of transport by ship along with the automatic docking, which makes the system similar to the underground subway.
- the lathes (Fig. 2-5) placed in the station guarantee that the cancellation of the ticket is made before boarding the ship and improves the speed of the passenger exchange maneuver.
- the floating platform will be large to guarantee access to the high number of people who can get on and off a boat
- the location of the stops will be made according to a previous study of mobility, being advisable to place it near the bridges and walkways to approach both banks of the river in case of waterways. It is also advisable to place the stations near the current conventional metro stations, bus stations or bike lanes.
- the metropolitan or external stops to the cities will have ample deterrent parking lots to attract the users who come by car from their populations of non-riparian origin and thus avoid the massive entry into the centers of the big cities.
- the mobility analysis carried out before the implementation of the model will determine the modification to be made in current road transport systems, such as bus lines, to take passengers to these stops and manage to decongest urban traffic.
- the automatic doors of the platform and of the boat can be of vertical opening, which would give a width of doors of almost all the length of the boat and improve the efficiency of passenger exchange with respect to an underground subway, in which users must first exit through narrow doors before the new can enter.
- the Guadalquivir River as it passes through Seville has two arms: the living channel that passes from north to south through the west of Seville, bordering the grounds of Expo'92, Triana, Los Remedios and the commercial port; the inner dock (it is a lake of controlled level), closed to the north by the Alamillo buffer and to the south by the new sluice. Both channels make up a jam-free waterway to visit Seville from north to south through the historic center and the most important neighborhoods and linking all the riverside towns and the Aljarafe of Seville with its capital.
- the outer channel can have strong currents and is subject to the effect of the tides.
- the price of the ticket will be exactly the same as the current urban subway and will be integrated into the pricing system of the Seville Transport Consortium.
- the platforms will have a useful surface of the main float of 25X6 square meters, a docking channel of 8.30 meters and a float of 25X2 square meters for the automatic docking system.
- the platform will operate with water level differences of up to 4 meters.
- the construction of a separate 3 km channel is planned. in the inner dock to allow private use of the river and not influence the high-performance rowing center.
- This canal will be built between the Alamillo bridge and the Barqueta gangway. It will be built as a concrete wall 3 meters deep on stilts, with two meters submerged and one meter above the surface at its medium level.
