Abstract:
This paper introduces two types of articulated monorails. The vehicle model of the traditional monorail is set up first, and a genetic algorithm is used to modify the parameters with the experimental data. Then, the two types of articulated monorail vehicle models are set up with the components and parameters of the model of the traditional monorail. By comparing the dynamic properties of the traditional monorail with the two types of articulated monorails, the advantage of the latter is realized. Finally, it has been concluded that the “non-bolster type” structure will be a better choice for vehicles passing a small radius curve. This analysis can be helpful in selecting the appropriate monorail system for particular conditions.

Abstract:
Analysis of the Chongqing monorail shows that there is no relationship between wheel wear and radial force, which means the radial force cannot be used to evaluate the wheel wear of monorail. Due to the same physical significance of the Schallamach tire wear model for automobiles, the wear index of railway wheels, which represents the creep power of unit wheel–rail contact area, is proved to be effective in evaluating the wheel wear of railway vehicles, automobiles, and vehicles with both properties, namely, monorail. Parameters of Chongqing monorail, modified through genetic algorithm, are used to build the model of the articulated monorail. Through co-simulation of the MATLAB and UM software, the wheel wears of two types of articulated monorail are calculated. For both types of monorails, correlation analysis shows that the variation of driving wheel and guide wheel wear of the inner bogies with the track curvature radius are roughly the same. The variation of the wheel wears in the two end bogies is a little different from that of the inner bogies. Comparison indicates that the wheels of the bolster type monorail wear more than that of the non-bolster type. Regardless of the monorail type, the wheels in the inner bogies wear more.

Abstract:
Introduction. Currently, mine suspended monorails are becoming more common in coal mines for auxiliary cargo and people transportation. Compared to ground transport, monorail has significant differences, which does not allow to fully use the previously obtained results of braking modes studies. Research aims to establish regularities in the processes that occur during the mine suspended monorail road rolling stock braking mode, taking into account clearances in the couplings. Methodology. To substantiate the parameters and designs of brake and coupling devices of a mine suspended monorail, a mathematical model of rolling stock movement along the monorail has been developed. Results. Dependencies are established that describe the process of rolling stock braking on a monorail. Motion parameters for different values of stiffness, damping and clearances in the couplers are analyzed. It is established that the gaps in rolling stock coupling influence the value of undercarriage and suspension units longitudinal vibrations amplitudes. Conclusions. A mathematical model of rolling stock movement is developed with allowance for clearances in the coupling making it possible to simulate mine suspended monorail braking mode.

Abstract:
The method of increasing the efficiency of using one of the most common means of auxiliary transport in underground coal mines—suspended monorails—is presented. Increase of velocity is one of the key parameters to improve the efficiency and economical effect related with the underground auxiliary transport. On the other hand, increasing the velocity results in bigger value of force acting on the suspended monorail route and its suspensions. The most important issue during increasing the velocity is ensuring the required safety for the passengers and not overloading the infrastructure. In order to analyze how increasing velocity influences the level of loads of the route suspension and the steel arch loads, the computational model of suspended monorail was developed. The computational model included both the physical part (embedded in the program environment based on the Multi-Body System method) and the components of the monorail control system. Two independent software environments were cooperating with each other through the so-called co-simulation. This model was validated on the base of results obtained on the test stand. Then, the numerical simulations of emergency braking with different values of velocity were conducted, which was not possible with the use of physical objects. The presented study can be used by the suspended monorail’s producers during the designing process, and leads to increase the safety on underground transportation routes.

Abstract:
The paper uses a variety of primary and secondary sources to analyse why monorail proposals initiated by Goodell, Alweg, Lockheed and other manufacturers during the 1950s and 1960s failed to gain preference among transport planning authorities over alternative modes of transport such as conventional rail, subways, buses and eventually light rail. The article examines the ways in which improved versions of the monorail models developed during these two decades. In time, these changes led to a more dynamic market in which monorails continued to be built not only for use in amusement parks and exhibitions but also as ‘intermediate-capacity’ transit, airport commuting and other special-purpose applications.

Abstract:
Abstract Method for identification the effects of dynamic overload affecting the people, which may occur in the emergency state of suspended monorail is presented in the paper. The braking curve using MBS (Multi-Body System) simulation was determined. For this purpose a computational model (MBS) of suspended monorail was developed and two different variants of numerical calculations were carried out. An algorithm of conducting numerical simulations to assess the effects of dynamic overload acting on the suspended monorails’ users is also posted in the paper. An example of computational model FEM (Finite Element Method) composed of technical mean and the anthropometrical model ATB (Articulated Total Body) is shown. The simulation results are presented: graph of HIC (Head Injury Criterion) parameter and successive phases of dislocation of ATB model. Generator of computational models for safety criterion, which enables preparation of input data and remote starting the simulation, is proposed.

Abstract:
This paper investigated dynamic responses of steel monorail bridges incorporating train-bridge interaction under strong earthquakes. Two types of steel monorail bridges were considered in the study: a conventional type with steel track-girder; an advanced type with composite track-girder and simplified lateral bracing system. During strong earthquakes, monorail train was assumed standing on the track-girder of monorail bridges. Observations through the analytical study showed that considering the monorail train as additional mass rather than a dynamic system in numerical modeling overestimated effect of the train load on seismic performance of monorail bridges. Earlier plastic deformations at the end bracing of the girder system absorbed seismic energy and reduced the stress at the pier base.

Abstract:
In the world practice of recent decades, monorail transport systems have been actively developing as an element of the mass passenger transport system. There is a monorail line in Moscow, which has exhausted its operational reserves and needs reconstruction. The article discusses the possible directions of development of the monorail in Moscow. Five possible directions of development have been identified, including the transformation of the line into other modes of transport (tram), the construction of an extension of the monorail line in various directions, the arrangement of urban public spaces and the renewal of rolling stock. Construction of an extension of the existing monorail line, rebuilding the system into a tramway, arrangement of a linear fleet — these are very costly options that require a significant amount of time to discuss projects. The most promising direction in the development of the system is the renewal of the rolling stock or its complete replacement while preserving the linear part of the monorail.

Abstract:
The overall objective of this thesis is to assess the financial, technical and social feasibility of investing in modern Automated People Movers (APM) transportation systems, generally known as monorails, in METU campus which presents a unique opportunity to fulfill the modern-day transportation needs of METU campus. This study complements the Presidency Office&rsquo
s long term goal to integrate environmental, social and economic sustainability into the policies, practices and culture of the university and ultimately reduce the consumption of all resources on campus and traffic congestion and accidents. In this context, the consequent cost-benefit effects of the proposed monorail system on campus life were quantified in monetary expressions and the corresponding multi-criteria feasibility assessment including: Break-even Analysis, Cost Effectiveness Assessments and Cost Benefit Analysis have been done successfully. According to these analyses the overall capital cost of system is $46.5 million which covers the 24 months project construction period, and an additional annual operating and maintenance cost of $2 million will span the 30 year project life time. Three different scenarios were proposed for financing the project and relevant break-even points were determined for each of the scenarios. Eventually, it appears that based on the evaluations, constructing such a transit system in METU campus will be cost effective and will certainly enhance the transportation, and will contribute to the institutional improvements and environmental preservation schemes of METU campus.

Abstract:
Gyroscopic stabilization can be used to maintain an otherwise unstable body in an upright position. Devices equipped with gyroscopes can balance upon a small area or point without falling over when the gyroscopic stabilizing force is greater than a rotational force or moment from an out-of-balance load that causes the device to tip. A new concept for a gyroscopically stabilized platform has been proposed in the form of a schematic diagram. The proposed system comprises of four interconnected gyroscopes that react to the tipping of an inherently unstable external body. The purpose of this research is to evolve a design for, and establish the feasibility of building the proposed stable platform using available materials and technology. If feasible, the gyroscopically stabilized platform will be made at the most practical and economic size. Louis Brennan developed a 37 tonne monorail that was maintained in the upright position with two 3 tonne counter rotating gyroscopes. The Brennan monorail is analysed to better understand the behaviour of a similar coupled gyroscopic stabilization system. The reactions between the components that maintain the monorail in the stable position are studied and comparisons are made between the proposed stable platform and the Brennan system. A mathematical analysis of the proposed system is presented. The equations of motion for the system are derived using the Lagrangian Formalism. The characteristic equation of the system is then determined and from this a set of stability conditions imposed on the design of the physical parameters of the stable platform. The general solutions to the equations of motion are then derived. Expressions that model the behaviour of two of the variables that describe the motion of the stable platform are determined. A systematic approach is adopted for establishing a new concept for the proposed system. Testing of the initial stable platform prototype (Prototype A) showed the system did not behave as intended. The platform was optimised further and this resulted in a second prototype, Prototype B. Prototype B exhibiting the desired oscillatory motion about the vertical of the platform. Predictions made using the mathematical model are compared with empirical results. The mathematical model was found to be an accurate method for predicting the response of the stable platform.

One of the approaches of the term mobility lays upon the link between urban planning, transit and transportation, and the elements and technologies that facilitate the commuting of people and goods throughout the city. Lately, transportation and traffic have become in both, mid-sized and big cities, a barrier to urban and regional development, due to various antagonistic situations experienced when commuting. Management efforts are engendered by the government in an attempt to find solutions for the matter have proved ineffective so far. The city of Goiânia is a city-center hub of activities of a Metropolitan Area, a region with a population of an estimated 2,206,134 residents (IBGE, 2011), and 1,000,000 vehicles cruising its road system (DETRAN, 2001). The struggle for room in the lanes, among passenger cars, freight and passenger transport, is already noticeable during peak hours. The saturation level of the system undermines the effective public passenger transportation. In turn, the management of a Passenger Public-Transportation System that is effectively integrated has failed to reach satisfactory results, considering the organizational traits that have been put in action up to now. This paper proposes an analysis of the deployment of the monorail technology in the Integrated Passenger Public-Transportation in the metropolitan area of Goiânia, by means of a methodology of cost-benefit analysis, depicting a brief characterization of monorail technology, a database on the transport system and the definition of a basic layout of metro route in territorial space. As a product, the result of cost-benefit analysis proposes a basic model of monorail technology implementation in the Metropolitan Public Transport Network in Goiânia, noting advantages and disadvantages of such a model. Last, but not least, final considerations about the methodology and the proposed model will be discussed.
Uma das abordagens do termo mobilidade tem como parâmetro a relação entre o espaço urbano territorial, o trânsito e os transportes e os elementos e tecnologias facilitadoras de deslocamentos de pessoas e bens. Os transportes e o trânsito têm se tornado atualmente, em cidades de médio e grande porte, um entrave ao desenvolvimento urbano e regional face às diversas situações antagônicas vivenciadas no contexto dos deslocamentos. Modelos de gestões são engendrados com a finalidade de buscar soluções, por parte da administração pública. Na cidade de Goiânia, município pólo-concentrador de atividades da Região Metropolitana de Goiânia, região com população estimada pelo IBGE, em 2011, de 2.206.134 habitantes e estimados 1.000.000 de veículos circulando em seu sistema viário, o embate pelo espaço nos leitos das vias entre veículos de passeio, de cargas e de transporte de passageiros, já permite uma visualização, nos horários de pico e em algumas regiões, do nível de saturação do sistema, o que compromete o transporte público de passageiros. Por sua vez, o modelo de gestão do Sistema de Transporte Público de Passageiros, efetivamente metropolitano e integrado, não tem conseguido alcançar metas satisfatórias em seus planos de ações tendo em vista suas características organizacionais. O presente trabalho propõe uma análise da inserção do uso da tecnologia monotrilho no Sistema Integrado de Transporte Público de Passageiros da Região Metropolitana de Transporte Coletivo de Goiânia, através da metodologia de análise custo benefício, a partir de uma caracterização sucinta da tecnologia monotrilho, de uma base de dados sobre o sistema e da definição de um traçado básico de itinerário no espaço territorial metropolitano.

Abstract:
Essa pesquisa tem como foco a tomada de decisão para a escolha de modais de transporte urbano coletivo e analisa os desempenhos operacionais e funcionais dos sistemas Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), Veículo Leve sobre Trilhos (VLT) e Monotrilho. Um modelo de apoio multicritério à decisão (AMD) em cenários complexos é utilizado na análise e tem como dados de entrada as preferências subjetivas de agentes de decisão (stakeholders) e os desempenhos objetivos e subjetivos dos três modais com relação a um sistema de cinco critérios e 22 subcritérios. Tal sistema cobre os eixos de eficiência energética, custo, viabilidade econômica e financeira, qualidade da viagem e impactos ambientais. Stakeholders selecionados com perfis de operador, vizinho, usuário, fornecedor de equipamentos e serviços e consultor em transportes urbanos atribuem suas preferências, pontuando-as em escala numérica de 1 a 9. Visando a aplicação do modelo na região da cidade de São Paulo, foram coletadas 138 opiniões de preferências através de formulários de avaliação e entrevistas conduzidas nessa região. Cada um dos três modais, após ser configurado para atender aos requisitos operacionais e funcionais do serviço de transporte definido por uma unidade funcional comum, tem os seus desempenhos com relação ao mesmo conjunto de critérios e subcritérios pontuados em uma escala numérica. Um índice global (IG), que define a prioridade de cada alternativa, é obtido pela agregação das preferências e desempenhos com uma função aditiva. O modelo foi aplicado em um estudo de caso que simulou a operação dos três modais no trecho entre as estações Vila Prudente e São Mateus da Linha 15 do Metrô de São Paulo, cujos requisitos definiram a unidade funcional. Dentro dos limites e premissas estabelecidas para o estudo de caso, os índices globais calculados indicaram a preferência pelo modal Monotrilho, seguido, na ordem, pelo VLT e BRT.
This research focuses on decision-making support methods to choice public urban transport modes and analyzes the operational and functional performances of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), Light Rail Transit (LRT) and Monorail systems. A multicriteria decision aided model (MDAM) in complex scenarios is used in the analysis and has as input data the subjective preferences of stakeholders and the objective and subjective performances of the three modalities in relation to a set of five criteria and 22 subcriteria. This system covers the axes of energy efficiency, cost, economic and financial feasibility, travel quality and environmental impacts. Stakeholders selected with profiles of operator, neighbor, user, equipment and service provider and consultant in urban transport assign their preferences, scoring them on a numerical scale from 1 to 9. In order to apply the model in the region of the city of São Paulo, 138 opinions were collected through evaluation forms and interviews conducted in that region. Each of the three modes, once configured to meet the operational and functional requirements of the transport service defined by a common functional unit, has its performances against the same set of criteria and subcriteria scored on a numerical scale. A global index (GI), which defines the priority of each alternative, is obtained by aggregating the preferences and performances according to an additive function. The MDAM model was applied in a case study that has simulated the operation of the three transport modalities in the stretch between the stations Vila Prudente and São Mateus of the Line 15 of the São Paulo Metro, whose general requirements did define the functional unit of the case. Within the limits and assumptions defined for the case study, the calculated global indices indicated the first preference for the Monorail modal, followed, in sequence, by the LRT and BRT.

Abstract:
Abstract The growing mobility demand on large and medium world’s cities has been continually pressing transport authorities and urban planners to provide transit solutions with the required capacity, reliability & service level, safety and affordability. Matching all these requirements in a dense and constrained urban environment has not been an easy task, as the higher capacity solutions (i.e. rapid rail transit - RRT) often face technical (alignment constraints) and/or funding issues, while lower capacity solutions (both light rail transit - LRT and Bus Rapid Transit - BRT) generally face capacity and reliability constraints. While the former — generally underground — might counteract alignment and public utilities infrastructure incompatibilities, the latter often faces space (traffic interference), reliability and environmental constraints, that ultimately results in a constrained capacity and an unsatisfying service level. Monorail technology is a transport system whose vehicles run on or suspended from a single track or beam, which is usually on an elevated and segregated structure. This technology was initially utilized to provide passenger transportation solutions for amusement parks and convention centers, but has now become a mature medium capacity transit solution for high density areas in cities around the world. Given its aerial concept, generally running above or bellow linear beams and, hence, above the ground, its structure is generally supported on vertical columns (poles), spaced up to 30 m (98.4 ft) along its alignment, requiring a reduced right of way (RoW), compared to conventional alternatives, which ultimately enables it to be fit in the median strip between the opposite lanes in the road system. Moreover, given the monorail’s technology vertical (grade) and horizontal (curve radius) alignment flexibility, it is able to provide medium capacity & high service level transit solutions, with a reduced land expropriation requirement, compared to the traditional transit solutions. Furthermore, its segregated right of way, associated with a driverless approach, makes feasible the use of smaller headways, with an inherent operational flexibility, in terms of capacity and service level, with lower operational costs. Monorail operational features — generally running on rubber tires in contact with concrete or steel structures — provide a smooth and externally silent ride, for both passengers and the neighborhood. Moreover, the lighter vehicles allow the possibility of both a lighter support infrastructure and an improved energy performance. Finally, different from the bulky and noisy elevated rail structures, the monorail’s elevated structure is thin and light, which ultimately avoids the well known shadow effect, allowing an aesthetic friendly (or less intrusive) structure, to cope with the urban environment. This work presents an overview of the monorail technology, with a review of its technical and operational features, based on the current available technical literature, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of this promising technology for transit applications. The work also presents case studies, reporting some of the well known and successful monorail projects implemented around the world.

Abstract:
Long the iconic transportation symbol of Seattle, the monorail system was constructed for the 1962 World’s Fair. Seattle’s monorail vehicles were the last and most technically advanced vehicles designed and built by the firm of Alweg-Forschung, GmbH (Alweg) of Cologne, Germany. The primary train operating systems and components were supplied by major US transit system equipment vendors of that era, including G.E., WABCO, and Rockwell. The two, 4-car train’s original layout and function generally conformed to US transit rail equipment standards and design practices of the early 1960s. However, during 45-years of near-continuous, revenue operation that included upgrades, piecemeal refurbishment projects and accident/incident repairs, many changes were made to the original design with varying levels of success and documentation. In 2007, a small team of Seattle Monorail staff and consultants identified the vehicle systems and components that were most urgently in need of replacement or overhaul given the limited funding and time available for completion of design work, preparation of contractor bid documentation and construction. Project funding was primarily via a grant from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), supplemented by the City of Seattle. The historical significance of the Seattle Monorail was at the center of the refurbishment program, with great care in functional design, aesthetics and construction being exercised throughout the program until completion in 2010. The modernization included the installation and integration of: communications-based train control; programmable logic controllers (PLC’s) for auxiliary systems; redundancy and interlocking of key safety-related components; streamlined controls that lead to significant weight savings and increased reliability; modern components to address ADA compliance; and ergonomic Driver Cabs. This report discusses the Seattle Center Monorail Refurbishment Program given the unique opportunity to modernize two historic pieces of transportation rolling stock that is anticipated to run in revenue service for the next 45 years.
