The disclosure relates to an aerial transportation vehicle including a vehicle frame. The vehicle frame includes an upper vehicle frame (3); a lower vehicle frame (4); lifting assembly (a), at least two lifting assemblies (a) opposite to each other being provided in a first direction, and the lower vehicle frame (4) and the upper vehicle frame (3) may be made to move close to or away from each other by operating at least two lifting assemblies (a); a locking device (b), the locking device (b) being disposed on the lower vehicle frame (4); when the lower vehicle frame (4) and the upper vehicle frame (3) move close to each other, the lower vehicle frame (4) and the upper vehicle frame (3) may be locked together by operating the locking device (b); a guide device (d), the guide device (d) being disposed on the lower vehicle frame (4); when the lower vehicle frame (4) and the upper vehicle frame (3) are separated from each other, the containers of different specifications may be quickly assembled and connected onto the lower vehicle frame (4) by operating the guide device (d). The disclosure can realize the assembly and connection of the containers with the aerial transportation vehicle by means of the devices of the aerial transportation vehicle itself with a simple operation. In addition, the disclosure also relates to an aerial rail container transportation method.

The electric vehicle can include: a payload interface, a payload suspension, a chassis, a set of bumpers, a sensor suite, a controller, a chassis suspension, and an electric powertrain. The electric vehicle 100 can optionally include a payload adapter, a power source, a cooling subsystem, and/or any other suitable components. The electric vehicle functions to structurally support a payload, such as a cargo container (e.g., intermodal container, ISO container, etc.), and/or to facilitate transportation of a payload via railway infrastructure.

An IBC storage box assembly is elevated from a railcar. A vertical beam is used to elevate the storage box off the railcar so that the storage box is more easily accessed from a rail platform. Additionally, the vertical beam may provide some clearance for the storage box so that the storage box is not impacted by the railcar coupler during transport.

A Rail Drone can include: a payload interface, a drivetrain, and a rail platform 515. The Rail Drone can additionally or alternatively include any other suitable set of components. The Rail Drone can integrate a standardized payload interface and an autonomous electric road vehicle platform into a rolling stock architecture. The Rail Drone can be a stand-alone, payload-agnostic, motive element which can be independently or cooperatively capable of carrying heavy loads across long distances at various cruising speeds.

A high-speed mass transport system having a monorail track disposed along a travel path and a monorail car with a driving unit suspended from the monorail track and a commuter car selectively attached to the driving unit. The high-speed mass transport system having also having an omnidirectional wheel transporter being adapted to selectively raise and lower to engage the commuter car, thus allowing the commuter car to detach from and reattach to the driving unit.
