Introduction to the three-dimensional express bus

In the Mentougou District in the western suburbs of Beijing, it is expected to see a "straddling bus" in the near future. It runs along the track and can carry 1,400 passengers at the top. The suspended lower part can accommodate high-rise passengers. Cars under 2 meters tall can still pass through, reducing traffic jams by 20% to 30%, and the cost is only 10% of that of the subway.

At the Science and Technology Expo site, a three-dimensional express bus transportation system is being displayed. This kind of vehicle can adopt a supervised autonomous driving mode according to the subway's operation mode. In an emergency, it can be driven immediately by pressing the brakes. However, it not only solves the high cost of subway construction, but also solves the problem of road congestion of BRT (bus rapid transit). The three-dimensional express bus made its world debut at the Beijing Science and Technology Expo. Shenzhen Huashi Future Parking Equipment Co., Ltd., which develops and designs this new type of transportation, said that the Mentougou District Science and Technology Commission has been in contact with them about this project, and the "three-dimensional express bus" is expected to be used in Mentougou.

It is also reported that Zhang Wenbo, director of the Mentougou District Science and Technology Commission, said that the "three-dimensional express bus" is only part of the green transportation system of the "Sino-Finnish Ecological Valley" and is only one of the alternatives. It may be used or not. Probably not. Zhang Wenbo emphasized that the "three-dimensional express bus" is just a planning idea and is still far from project approval, because it does not even have products or technical descriptions of various products, so it is impossible to get project approval.

For the "three-dimensional express bus" to enter Mentougou, it must first be produced and then conduct various tests, involving feasibility and safety issues such as vehicle design, performance, road settings, etc. Zhang Wenbo said, "As long as one test indicator fails, the three-dimensional express bus will not appear in Mentougou. If the car cannot even be produced, then it will be nothing." Zhang Wenbo said that if the car can be produced and meets the standards, Then, by the end of this year, the track construction in Mentougou District is expected to begin, and the first train is expected to be put into trial operation in July next year.

Jiang Hai, deputy general manager of Shenzhen Huashi Future Parking Equipment Co., Ltd., said in an interview in June 2010: "The three-dimensional express bus will be on the road and truly become a means of transportation for ordinary people. It will take about 3 years.”
