Railway vehicle and train

Abstract

The invention provides a railway vehicle and a train. The railway vehicle comprises a brake system, and further comprises a carriage, a left-side support, a right-side support, at least one left-side walking portion and at least one right-side walking portion, wherein the carriage comprises a left carriage wall and a right carriage wall and is used for containing people or goods; the left-side support is located on the left side of the left carriage wall and connected with the left carriage wall through at least one left-side lifting mechanism to enable the carriage to lift along the left-side support; the right-side support is located on the right side of the right carriage wall and connected with the right carriage wall through at least one right-side lifting mechanism to enable the carriage to lift along the right-side support; the left-side walking portion is provided with the left-side support; the right-side walking portion is provided with the right-side support; the brake system is used for braking the left-side walking portion and the right-side walking portion; each walking portion comprises a walking frame and at least two metal wheels installed on the walking frame to enable the railway vehicle to be suitable for running on a railway; the railway vehicle is in an inverted U shape in the running direction so as to allow other vehicles to pass through from the position below the carriage.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to vehicles, especially rail vehicles and trains. Background technique [0002] Modern public transport generally includes buses, trams and subways. Buses are the main form of transportation in most cities. Although the operation cost of the bus is low and the driving is flexible, a lot of exhaust gas and noise will be generated during its driving. Trams include trolleybuses and railcars, which have the advantages of zero emissions and low noise, but their driving routes are limited. The operation of buses and trams requires a lot of road resources. The subway has a large passenger capacity and fast travel speed, but its investment and operating costs are relatively large, so it is difficult to build. [0003] Now, some people have proposed the design of the elevated tram, the tram is elevated and widened, and the space above the urban road is used as a transportation platform, so that small vehicles such as cars can run under...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, this elevated tram is only suitable for driving in open and unobstructed areas

Since the body of the elevated tram is very high, when there are aerial obstacles such as power lines, billboards, bridges, etc. on the road, or when passing through areas with limited height such as tunnels, the running of this elevated tram will be restricted

Also, to remove these obstacles, or to get around them, road construction can become costly
