its much cheaper, much more flexible... with todays tire tecnology runbbing is nearly no problem... its nearly same efficient as tracks... but much easier to build...
New tram lines are money pits because of the infrastructure required, and their positions on the road will create massive traffic disruptions when stations and tracks are being built, which could take years. This has nearly all of the quality of trams with minimal infrastructure investment, and superior to buses in terms of ride quality and capacity (you can add 3/4/5/6 cars onto these road trains, which buses couldn't do.). This is a hybrid solution that combine the best of both trams and buses in an urban environment, where there's a need for a specific high-capacity public transit route with high rider comfort and low costs.
The main advantage is that you can go around obstacles. If there is someone parking at the tracks, go around it. If there is an accident, go around it. If another tram breaks down, go around it.
@@zidriz07ID Thank you! Nothing wrong with using the "trackless tram" as a higher-capacity, driverless bus on grade-separate BRT lanes or busways, but the way it's being marketed as a magic tram that doesn't need the capital expenditure of rails and doesn't need dedicated lanes separate from car traffic is, to be frank, BS.
I am having serious doubts regarding its behaviour in snow, due to it's very low clearance. Here in Québec, Canada, we have overall... quite good quantity of snow...
What is price for this trambus? Maybe it is cheaper to buy those ART-2019 than build new railroads for traditional tram lines? We need this in Riga, Latvia!
A very interesting rail-less virtual train concept to consider, but has it been tested or a proof of concept vehicle been produced and proven to work in urban and sub-urban settings as yet?
Well it differs from bus in several ways : way of guidance , fixed trajectory, dedicated track. Needless to say, like your phone, mp3, camera, etc are all coming together in your smartphone, the traditional road can now serve more types of transportation.
I wonder, is it possible to even eliminate the virtual track lines and rely solely on lane markers and curbs? P.S. This is what new cities requiring new surface-level mass (Rapid or Conventional) transit systems need #NotLRT not overglorified, expensive, outdated, less flexible, service disruption-prone trams, streetcars, and surface-level Light Rail and LRTs. #SayNOtoLRT #NOtoLRT #SkyTrain4Surrey #SkyTrain4Langley #StopSurreyLRT #LangleyNext
Yes, you´re right. And I hope, the new cities which are requiring this nice new not overglorifiedmass transit system get the money for their extravaganze from people like you..... ;) Interestingly, all of these new track-guided rubber trams can NOT handle a variety of things and end up costing the same amount of money as a standard tram. 1) These trains run on rubber tires, and these always run in the same lane. This leads very quickly to ruts, which then need expensive repairs, in some cases high quality concrete tracks are necessary, the production of which can easily approach the costs of normal track systems. This information is nothing new, it originates from the days of the first autonomous material handling vehicles in logistics companies and / or the guided bus programs - so this problem is known almost 50 years! If the suppliers of such systems were to charge the high price for the permanently operated infrastructure, a rubber tram would not be cheaper than a standard tram 2) The rubber bus systems are not suited to be easily adapted to the increase in passenger numbers when the system reaches its capacity limits, because the trains can not be easily extended due to the lack of fixed tracking. You only have to imagine how this works when a 50 or 70 meter long train navigates through public traffic. The train is so long that the driver can no longer see the end when cornering. He can not be sure that the end of the train is on track, as is the case with a tram on rails. (It's not for nothing that Australia's RoadTrains are not allowed to enter many cities.) This leads to the rebuilt of several rubber bus systems which - at least parts of the lines - now rebuilding them as normal trams.
1) Depending on the route, but otherwise you can actually put the bus in its own lane separate from traffic like tram/LRT. Have you seen BRT with dedicated lanes (operating like trams/LRT) using bi-articulated buses like this (czcams.com/video/i448D6ZX8Zs/video.html )? 2) If length is such a concern, how come trams/LRTs cannot be as long as MRTs/#SkyTrain and trams/LRTs are limited to the size of a city block (dailyhive.com/vancouver/vancouver-broadway-extension-skytrain-lrt-opinion )? Why even have trams/LRTs in the first place instead if the net value is poorer (at least for a particular alignment) than with BRT or MRT (or even BRT and MRT combination; e.g. www.translink.ca/-/media/Documents/plans_and_projects/rapid_transit_projects/SRT/alternatives_evaluation/Surrey_Rapid_Transit_Study_Phase_2_Alternatives_Evaluation.pdf ) and trams/LRTs will require grade-separation later?
Brisbane City in Australia has made a Mass order of these beautiful machines. Zero emissions during its lifespan.
ガイドウェイ付きの連接バスみたいなもの？
かわいいね
Awesome!
Asphalt isn't free, concrete lanes aren't free. Include that cost and this is more expensive than simple electric streetcars or LRT on rails..
Why I should buy a tram without tracks? Trams are existing on tracks because it reduce rubbing.
It is designed to be used in small cities that can't pay a metro line
its much cheaper, much more flexible... with todays tire tecnology runbbing is nearly no problem... its nearly same efficient as tracks... but much easier to build...
They are using a digital guide track

Nice graphic
I literally laughed out loud when it went off track because of traffic rerouting hahahahaha
America is so behind in Technology The Future is Now
What is wrong with tram tracks. They are easy and off the road. To me their simple and definitely not apart of traffic
Yeah
One of the keys to a good transit is a journey that isn't mixed with traffic, like dedicated lanes imo

@@mattbear4802 yeah
👍️
Wow
Which company manufactured it?
Why do you need 2 cabins when the thing can turn around anywhere?
Isn't this same as a bus

So.. basically what they have in france and germany already minus the guides? Also, the design looks a uk tram design.
the train is cute
Yeah, like a gigantic caterpillar without sound, so cute.

I was searching and found that the price is around $2.2 million per kilometer, while the Tram lines costs around $25 millions per kilometer :D
What is the autonomy after 10min charging?
25Km
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
We know the tram is trackless. But is it electric or ran by fuel
It's running on re-charging batteries, so it's electric !
Its electric but uses way more electricity becouse it runs on rubber wheels and not on a track

A very interesting rail-less virtual train concept to consider, but has it been tested or a proof of concept vehicle been produced and proven to work in urban and sub-urban settings as yet?
just start to run in one city to test
ART has already in operation in China, meanwhile in Qatar it still testing. South Malaysia is almost to start testing.
Un favor quiero mas información de ésto por.
chinese the best

Right on the spot, nicely put Archie.10 thumb-ups !!!
Is It Driving On Tires
Its a motor mrt
Has this concept been tested in the real world yet?
Yes. In Qatar and several provinces in China.East Malaysia is also looking to implement it soon.
