C801 FEASIBILITY STUDY OF A PEOPLE MOVER

抄録

The feasibility study of a vehicle for a people mover transport system is presented. The vehicle was conceived for obtaining minimum life cycle cost, i.e. minimum operating (maintenance) costs and minimum construction costs. The cab is a two axle vehicle driven by two LIM (Linear Induction Motors). The two linear induction motors are carried respectively by two mini-bogies, positioned under the two main wheelsets. This allows to keep the needed clearance between the motor and the stator without increasing the stiffness of the vertical suspension.
