SPECIALISED OVERHEAD PUBLIC TRANSPORT Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC B61B1/00 B61B3/02 B61B13/00 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to an overhead public transport system. Bidirectional public transport system is suspended on a series of column supports and does not interfere with the movement of vehicles and pedestrians down on the streets. System provides continuous movement of independent cabins along a tubular rail mounted on fixed ropes stretched between column supports. It also comprises overhead stations for passengers, where they can get into suspended cabins, driven by autonomous and independent electric motors, which rotate a drive pulley, swinging along the upper side of the horizontal tubular rail, passing above the ground or tilted thereto, depending on topographic features. Each cabin, designed only for two passengers, is directed strictly to the station indicated as the destination, where it deviates from the main traffic flow to the station, so there is no need to stop the entire main traffic of cabins.

EFFECT: travel time is reduced, despite low or moderate speed; improved simplicity and safety of the public transport system, the system can be used by people of all ages and capabilities in any conditions.
