An Application Of The Traffic Technology PRT In The City And Its Effects On Architecture

In the course of urbanization, city transportation gives rise to a series of problems such as heavy traffic, energy consumption, traffic pollution and so on, more and more attention should be paid to the research and discussion of new traffic technology. PRT is the very kind of transportation technology, with the characters of safety, energy-saving, economical, land-saving, environmental protection, fast, convenient, nonstop, unmanned. After introduce the development of PRT in the word, collect numbers of patents , realize the problems of urban traffic, and combine with the latest developments of our research project The Suspended Road and Track Dual Mode Monorail Technology and three Chinese patents, we bring up a new traffic technology. The Suspended Road and Track Dual Mode Monorail Technology can changes freely between the road and the track. It has not only all the advantages the cars has, but also the characters that the convenient and fast of the rail transportation as well as the characters that safety, fast, energy-saving, land-saving, easy to build, can fend against the bad weather, without limit to the natural topography and general configuration of the earth's surface, not to occupy the city transportation land. What is more , make a brief introduction to the feasibility and the necessity of the application in the city, and do some conceptual designs for the track construction, parking station, running mode and so on. Besides that, make a introduction to the architecture design after this new technology applied in our city. Therefore, to use The Suspended Road and Track Dual Mode Monorail Technology in the big city to overcome the nowadays traffic technology flaws has a bright future, and it can provide a new reference and a new choice to the problems of the urban transportation.
