PNEUMATIC PROPULSION SYSTEM FOR HIGH CAPACITY TRANSPORT OF PASSENGERS AND/OR CARGO
A propulsion system is composed of vehicles with four wheels having one of the axles connected to a pylon attached to the propulsion plate. The vehicles move over rails of elevated guideways supported by pillars. The top of the elevated guideways has longitudinal slots for allowing passage of pylons of propulsion plates. The elevated guideway is dual and has two power propulsion units for propulsion operation in a push and/or pull mode, one for each elevated guideway. The power propulsion units are installed inside the machine rooms under the pavement of the sob passenger stations supported on pillars. The power propulsion units are connected to the elevated guideways by means of connection ducts. Secondary propulsion ducts are disposed in parallel with the propulsion duct and integrated with its respective flow direction valve which allows that the air flow generated by the power propulsion unit is discharged in the propulsion duct in two distinct positions. The pneumatic propulsion arrangement is completed by isolation valve sets of the guideway section, atmospheric valve sets, set of four air flow control valves mounted in the connection ducts of the power propulsion units and flow direction valves.
Information display structure, and vehicle station and barrier equipped with the structure
An information display structure includes a stationary part to be secured upright on or against a support; securing means for securing the stationary part; and at least one information display screen connected to the stationary part, extending in front of same, and having a visible front display face.
Train made up of a plurality of rail vehicles having two levels for passengers and freight
A train made up of a plurality of rail vehicles, each rail vehicle including a body defining an upper level able and intended to accommodate and transport passengers, and a lower level intended to load, transport and unload freight, the lower level having a lower floor defined by the body. An assembly of such a train, and a station able to receive the train in a stopped position allowing travelers to embark and disembark.

HYDROGEN SUPPLY SYSTEM, TRAIN AND HYDROGEN SUPPLY METHOD
A hydrogen supply system comprises a hydrogen station placed near a railroad track and configured to supply hydrogen to a moving body that is driven with a fuel cell used as an electric power source; and a train provided with a hydrogen tank and configured to run along the railroad track and transport hydrogen to the hydrogen station.
NON-STOP TRAIN WITH ATTACHING AND DETACHING TRAIN CARS
A non-stop train system including a plurality of train cars in communication with one another and in communication with an electronic control module. The train system includes a track or any number of parallel tracks having a plurality of drop off and pick up locations. A prepositioned train car is stopped at one of the drop off and pick up locations. A non-stop express train approaches and passes by the drop off and pick up location on the track initiating the prepositioned train car to begin departure. The electronic control module is used to adjust the speed of the non-stop express train and the prepositioned train car based on a detected distance such that a rear coupler of the non-stop express train couples to the front coupler of the prepositioned train car while moving along the track.
Roadway conduit systems and methods
A roadway conduit system includes a roadway conduit section that includes a floor portion with roadway surface configured to receive traveling vehicles, a ceiling portion, and at least one sidewall portion coupled to the floor portion and the ceiling portion such that the floor, ceiling, and at least one sidewall portions define a roadway conduit volume through which the traveling vehicles traverse the roadway conduit section. The roadway conduit section includes at least two fixedly connected preformed segments. The roadway conduit system also includes a roadway conduit ingress coupled to a first location of the roadway conduit section; a roadway conduit egress coupled to a second location of the roadway conduit section; and at least one air mover configured to circulate an airflow in the roadway conduit volume in a direction of at least one of the traveling vehicles.
Combination parking structure, roadway and train station
The combination parking structure, roadway and train station is a commuter-based system for relieving traffic congestion.
