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, at least one left-side walking portion located on the left side below the carriage, and at least one right-side walking portion located on the right side below the carriage, wherein the carriage is used for containing people or goods; the brake system brakes the left-side walking portions and the right-side walking portions. Each walking portion comprises a walking frame, at least two metal wheels and at least one lifting mechanism, wherein the metal wheels are installed on the walking frame and used for enabling the railway vehicle to be suitable for running on a railway, and the lifting mechanism is connected to the position between the walking frame and the carriage to adjust the distance between the carriage and the walking frame. 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
