Railevo

RailEvo is an innovative, autonomous, on-demand, non-stop rail transportation system. Vehicle A dual-mode, fully autonomous vehicle, capable of travelling fast and efficiently on rails and maneuvering in any direction on the station’s flat surfaces with additional mecanum-wheel. RailEvo is a fully autonomous system, sharing technologies already used for autonomous metro systems and AGVs ( Autonomous Guided Vehicles ) while travelling on rails and maneuver on the surface station respectively. Line Network RailEvo provides an on-demand and non-stop service between stations on a rail network. Some stations can be also used as nodes so that vehicles can autonomously change from one line to the other. Station Vehicles get into the station through the vertical rail switch. They deploy their mecanum wheels to move omnidirectionally to parking bays, where passengers can alight safely in their own time, away from the main traffic. Vehicle maneuvering speed in the station is about 5-6 km/h. The station max capacity is about 600 vehicles/h or more. Traffic Capacity Very high traffic capacity despite the small infrastructure. Up to 1500 vehicle/h per direction. User Experience On-demand service 24/7: Since RailEvo vehicles are fully autonomous and can move independently on the network and at the stations; the service is personalized and can be offered any time 24/7 from any station to any other station on the network. Users are free to move around the RailEvo network whenever they want. This is an enormous improvement on current rail systems’ user experience, such that many more citizens will use rail instead of their private cars.
