What is Monorail?

A monorail is single rail serving as a trackfor a

wheeled vehicle.

Vehicles are wider than the guide way

In most cases rail is elevated &also run atgrade or in subway tunnels

Straddle-beam monorail


7/23

Straddle-beam monorail

Common type The train straddles a RCCbeam in the

range of 2 to 3 feet wide

A rubber-tiredcarriage contacts the ontop and both sides for traction and to

stabilize the vehicles

Popularized by ALWEG


8/23

Suspended monorail


9/23

Suspended monorail

the train cars are suspended beneath the

wheel carriage

design the carriage wheels ride inside the

single beam


10/23

Advantages

Require minimal space

They are quieter

No derailing

Safe

Environmentally friendly

Cost effective

Speedy construction

More efficiency


11/23

Disadvantages

Not compatible with any other type of rail

infrastructure

Unable to immediately exist

Turnout ,especially high-speed ones tend to

be difficult.

ROUTE SELECTION


13/23

ROUTE SELECTION

Flexible route selection only new real estate required is for boarding

stations and the service yards

Inter-station footprint can often be in anexisting center turn lane, a parking lane or a

landscaped median

Many fills and cuts required for any othertransport.


14/23

CONSTRUCTION OF TRACKS


15/23

CONSTRUCTION OF TRACKS

Speed and low surrounding area impact of

the guide way erection

Columns and guide way beams are

prefabricated off-site.

Columns are located every forty to sixty feet

It does not require massive concrete

structures and foundation excavation


16/23

PLATFORMS platform and train floor are at

same levels

station will be designed to befully integratedinto thesurrounding neighborhood

a universalstation designadaptable

Most station platforms can behighly standardized so the a largepart of the structure isprefabricated.

All stations require elevators,escalators, fare dispensers,automated gates to platform andtrains.


17/23

SELECTION OF TRAINS

bus sizes are determined by the passenger

loads

Two types- suspended , straddle beam

Automated operations without a driver that

are available for monorail systems allow safe

headways of less than three minutes


18/23

OPERATION OF MONORAIL

Automated train control systems Quick response to unexpected load conditions and

automatically adjust of all units already operating.

Headways can be as little as 3minutes to allow short

wait times for riders. easily modified as situations change

resulting lower energy demand per passenger mile

have a record of over 99% reliability for the trains.

OPERATION OF MONORAIL-Switching


20/23

COST OF MONORAIL

many variables which influence the price of

building a monorail system

Cost varies from $10-65million/mile

No matter what the cost of building one is,

monorail has the best chance of all transit

CONCLUSION

Monorail proves itself technically and

economically viable

In India there is a clear Need, the technology

is available, and it could be Financed.
