THE
STRADDLING
BUS

Nowadays, there are many problems concerning the transport network we are trying to solve with ecological means to travel faster and easier. A new mean of transport has been created to make it possible. Thanks to Shenzhen Hashi Future Parking Equipment Co, a futurist bus has been innovated in Peking

A. Product’s presentation:

A new model of bus has been invented to take care of the environment and to reduce the traffic. It measures 4,5 meters, by this way, cars can go below the bus and don’t have to avoid it by doubling it or being blocked and so waste a lot of time. Its speed is 60km/h, it can transport from 1200 to 1400 passengers with 300 per cabin.

This is an ecological bus because it needs municipal electricity and solar energy. At each stop, it will stock energy to go to the next station.

To avoid accidents, the bus is equipped of many alarm system and so prevent collision between cars and the bus. We can find:

* Ultra sonic waves at the end of the bus prevent too high vehicles to not go below it * A scanning laser triggers the alarm if cars are too close to the passage * Indicator lights indicate cars below the bus it will turn * A scanning radar prevent vehicles below the bus if they are too close to the bus
If passengers have to go out, the system of evacuation is similar to plane’s, blowing slides would allow people to slip on and be safe.

B. The necessary resources:

To establish this model of bus, we will have to modify the road to allow the bus to circulate, the road must be enough wide for the bus and cars.
There are 2 possibilities: * On the one hand, we can install rails and in this case, 30% of energy would be saved * On the other hand, we can paint 2 white lines and use auto-piloting and the bus would follow those lines
We will also have to build the station to places which are the most frequented.
