PROBLEMS OF SO CALLED GUIDE WAY SYSTEM AND A COUNTERMEASURE
There are many places where there is no efficient transportation, though they are worried about traffic jam. To solve this problem we studied qualities and quantities of urban transport, and located some kinds of transportation to the adequate positions in the spectral field of traffic demand. Consequently we noticed that the construction cost is too expensive when the density of traffic is under some degree. In order to reduce the construction cost and business expenditure, we propose a light vehicle and high frequency system. To lower axle load, width of the car is contracted. This means reduction of axle load, and at the same time, of carrying capacity. So high frequency system of trains is adopted. It will also present good service to the passengers. (Author abstract)
