Dymola / modelica. Simulation and modelling of the NOWAITTRANSIT car in cooperation with The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Lund Tekniska Högskola and Modelon AB.
The NOWAITTRANSIT® mechanical system behavior has been simulated during 2004/6. The dynamic analysis has been performed together with Lund Tekniska Högskola, The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm and Modelon AB. The study has been supported by the Swedish Vinnova research government agency. More detailed simulation work has been completed in September 2008. The simulations have been subject to a technical assessment at the Royal Institute of Technology.
The NOWAITTRANSIT® mass transit system solution, which is protected by patent rights according to the Patent Cooperation Treaty, has been designed in detail covering the complete vehicle with all associated subsystems.
It is the result of a systematic review of a great number of various existing and some new technologies and system criteria. The target has been to find an overall better balance between technical and economical performance compared to conventional mass transit systems. Station distances can be reduced, the weight of especially elevated structures is drastically reduced and the available space for passengers is increased due to considerably higher transport capacities.
These technical differences are leading to lower construction costs as well as lower operation and maintenance costs. It is a driverless system. The result of this is that the system is much easier to finance. A typical elevated system can be made profitable based on normal mass transit fees alone.
