Its maker, Chinese rail transit firm crrc, is calling it a "smart bus,"
it's modular and carriages can be added on like a bus, it runs on the road.
The carriage will follow a preset path and won't need a driver - but it won't need tracks to be laid, either.
The train is equipped with sensors that'll allow it to follow white-dotted lines on the road.
"it is like having a virtual rail for the bus," said feng jianghua, chief engineer of crrc.
The 30 metre long bus is able to fit 300 passengers across three carriages. More carriages can be added or removed if needed.
The smart bus, or autonomous rail rapid transit (art), is touted to be much cheaper than subway or tram systems, since it doesn't require infrastructure to be laid down.
This could prove to be the solution for many medium or small cities in china that can't afford to build train lines.
It costs up to $102 million to build a kilometre of a subway track, as compared to about $2 million for a standard length art bus, according to a report by chinese state media xinhua.
A 6.5km art line will be built in the chinese city of zhuzhou, with operations starting in 2018.
Let me explain to those that are confused: it is a bus, because it does not travel on rails, not virtual rails, as in steel rails. It would need these to be a tram. It is not a train because of all of these points, it would also need real rails.
It’s a bus. Put a driver inside when it needs to be manual and it can go anywhere where there is a road.
Looks like someone would troll this hard with new painted lines
10% cheaper than a subway sounds weird,
either this system is super expensive or miles of tunnle-digging is cheaper than i thought
Wow a bus!! I'm so impressed!!
Seems like a bus but with extra steps
And then it snows..
PiCARONEONE lool true
Then it’ll be perfect for Australia where it very rarely snows haha
Yeah....But...but, the globe is still having 40% more land masses called Equatorial Zone where Snow can't be snow, my man??
And it stops operating when there is snowfall? That's a good concept... I don't know, why you should take this system instead of a regular tram
It's a bus with two cabs and covered wheels .
well it is better than a bus, because it goes to and fro
This technology has been around for a long time. It is a Translohr, with an optical guidance system instead of a guiderail, & batteries instead of overhead power.
There is already a bus line like this in Rouen France. It uses a mounted camera that follow the same kind of "tracks" on the road
bs, its new idea came from china, it is called vitrual rail, not optical guidance , also its smart train
@@xinyiquan666 The "virtual rail" being a painted line which the bus uses cameras to identify i.e. optical guidance. Same as the Translohr. It's a neat idea but not a new one. Also trains have metal wheels and metal rails, not rubber tyres and asphalt roads, which make them more energy efficient. This bus is most useful on routes which wouldn't justify a full heavy or light rail service.
So basicly a Bus that is limited to certant streets🤣
ALL WE HAD TO WAS FOLLOW THE DAMN TRAIN, CJ!
I think someone invented it it’s called a Bus
doesnt need driver one scene shows a driver driving the tram
Nice idea. I think this is even better than BRT's. BRT are just bus anyways, so lame. This one looks more cool
Such a cool concept!!
So basically it's a long bus?
It's called trolleybus ...LOL a trolling-bus XD
@@WadcaWymiaru umm actually trolley bus is a bus that gain electricity power from overhead wire while long bus is called articulated bus 🤓
So its a bus with more carry capacity?
in the uk we used to have long buses (basically this except they were red and u could see the wheels)
They got removed because of congestion and they caused a lot of problems around roundabouts and junctions
still, have them in Leeds
They probably know what they doing.i hope they test it enough in every bad situation.is the sensor stil will detect the lines when is too much rain falling?or what if one of the tires blow up?maintance is a big deal with this new hybrid vechiles.
How is it only 10% cheaper than an underground system! With underground systems, you have to have a massive, expensive tunnelling project - where does all the money go with this?
It does not make sense, thank's
Ben Jacobs replacement parts manufacturing.
Ben Jacobs this is cheaper than subway projects in China by 10% in the US tunneling projects are far more known for wasteful spending
qjtvaddict And they say its cheaper to build a regular subway than a subway with this in it?
What about traffic jams & cars cris cross
It's not a train it's a rechargable tram with color cencors 😒
Phaidon verras It’s not a railway vehicle at all. It’s a bus. It’s possible you can replace the rubber tires with steel wheels and then operate as a train.
wow! they invented trolley bus
This is just a fancier articulated bus.
If it does not have tracks then it is not a train.
Is it accessible meaning can prams and wheelchairs get on it easily
Georgia Loughran yes
Some people are just no brains, they should study more and get knowledge of how an optimized tram could serve a transport route is better than an ordinary bus.
So basically a Bus
0:49 rlly dude? an LNER A4 PACIFIC can reach 126mph
This is a bus, not a tram or a train. It is supposed to be used for intercity travel. China is just *really* bad at product placement.
only 10% cheaper? I think Ill just go drill a tunnel then
I meant 3rd place
why they hate driver? driver can be very useful if anyhing else failed
china just made a longer bus
Oh wow China made a bus
we'd place like a maglev
One word! Tram! 🚃
*no, bus: TRAMS HAVE RAILS TOO.*
it still follows a line, even if its virtual. It could be a land tram. like a land train, you get at the seaside.
Watermillfilms It’s just an automatic bus. In theory, it can run without guidance.
QuarioQuario54321 but it does follow a track?
Watermillfilms Yes, but it’s lines in the road, not a real track. It might be able to run without those.
WOW!!! CHINA INVENTED A BUS!!!
Doubt it will run in snow.
no rail backwards is liar on
This is a bus.
I like those electric buses, they're pretty cool! 🚐⚡️🚐⚡️🚐
A big bus
It's a copy of Solaris Metrostyle
Can you not just make new dotted lines lmao
A train without rails!?!?
Daredevil It’s a bus
I don't know the US might be known as a technology giant but the chinese are catching up faster and they cities are looking like they being build for the 23rd century.
1.china doesnt look like you think it does
2.thats a bus
11 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxfdddssxxccssddd😅😅😂😂😂😊😊❤😊😊😊😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅aododld
It a tram not a train
It's a bus not a tram
ITS JUST A BUS
So it's a bus with no driver
how amazing china did
everyone its a tram without rails
*IT'S A BUS!!!*
Typical Hakim All trams have rails. It’s defined that way.
What if it hit a car?
train plane spotting ! It has a protection system
@@QuarioQuario54321 what about person ? If it hit a bike ?
@@nikhilbansal1365 Same protection system
I don't like this idea.
When a tram catches some fire, the passenger compartment is safe (non- flammable, self-extinguishing materials are used there). Instead, this bus turns into a mobile crematory when its huge Samsung like LITHIUM batteries start TO BURN. I would not go in a big cellphone ;>
nothing but trams without an overhead wire,and an overhead pantograph
It's a bus, trams have rails.
0:59 ..."10 per cent cheaper to build than a subway..."
That implies it costs 90% of the cost of a subway = expensive IMO...!!
Think the writer meant - it costs 10% of the cost of a subway...???
MelCanuck Cheaper isn't always better.
ff
It is just a bus!
first dislike
True electric road Train Without a ground Rail when charging an electric road train with a fatal flaw tragic if disembarking passengers got electrocuted by 1kw in wet weather ! The third wire of most electrical outlets is a safety conductor to ground. the road train must be grounded when charging batteries. Chinese engineers need to understand why the additional conductor rail is needed. same gos for most electrical appliances! the Good news is the not so smart line following devices will also work in Pod Cars like the UK Ultra Pods so they can leave the guideway's & enter the streets.
JONOVID you butthurt and jealous bro
First please reply
Hamish Murray no, stop asking people to sub ur channel. That means ur channel isnt doing that well if u have to ask
Captain TimTam why have you done it
So technically its a bus that look like a train. Some say Bus dont hav several carriages.
Bus with more than 3 carriages already existed in Europe in the 70's
Plus this automatic system still needs a driver so no so much a automatic self drive train
And automatic vehicles are already tested by all majors car companies succesfully, and truly without driver
So not much of an invention.
I'm always so disapointed in this silly projects that are so much hightlighted for nothing and that make China lose face.
