Concept and Feature of “Eco-Ride”--Unmanned Energy-saving Public Transport System
Test track and prototype vehicle of “Eco-Ride”, a novel unmanned energy-saving public transport for short-distance trips, have been developed applying roller coaster technologies. A designing simulator for vertical curves of track geometries for the Eco-Ride to deploy real fields to flexibly fit land shapes has also been developed.
