The document discusses Sky Bus, a new mass transit system that can provide safe transportation in congested cities. Some key points:
1) Sky Bus is elevated on concrete columns 9m tall, addressing safety issues of derailment and collision seen in traditional metros.
2) It uses a concrete box structure 8.4m wide supported every 10-15m to carry passenger coaches.
3) Sky Bus is proposed to cost 50-75% less than traditional metros due to carrying fewer non-passenger loads.
4) Initial proposals seek to set up Sky Bus lines in Mumbai, Chennai, and Goa to provide affordable public transit.

B.Sathya Final Year civil 2 INTRODUCTION The sky bus technology offered by Konkan railway corporation . It redefine the thinking and planning for urban transport being a eco-friendly.
It is the patented technology developed for new
millennium and will cause a paradigm shift in urban transportation all over the world. . SKY BUS “A unique mass transit system which than can be put up within any two years in any crowded and congested city for safe transportation without loss of time.” Why sky bus is safe The present Railway Technology used in metros- defect of derailment. Sky Bus- eliminating the problems of existing metro rail systems like derailments, collisions, capsizing and crushing people. Compared to conventional railway systems, the centre of gravity of the mass being carried on the wheels is brought down to be closer to the wheel support. Hence dynamic safety is many times improved. Components Skyway Sky bogie Sky station Working Principle of Sky Bus
•As long as the wheels are on the
rails, the coach runs. •But failure of rails / obstruction by a heavy wind force may create dangerous situations.
When the wheels climb 25 to 30
mm flange, then derailment occurs.
7 Cont..
If derailment occurs, then there is
nothing to hold the coach, then the coach just topples .
Such falling of coach can kill people
inside the coach and also people on the road, if any.
8 Evolution Of Sky Bus Technology
Suppose a standard railway
coach running on a railway track…
The under frame with standard
railway wheel – set running on a railway track… Structural Link • There are two possible ways of doing this:
The First Concept, The Load Can Be Transferred From The
Platform By A Tensile Member, the load can be transmitted by a portal frame.
The Second Concept Allows For More Freedom In
Configurations But Is Less Efficient As It Results In High Bending Moments.
. The Sky Bus Coach Was Designed For Various Specified
Loads Including This Condition And Analyzed Using The Finite-element Method (Fem). Technology Of Sky Bus The median in the middle of road : 9.4 m wide,2.4 m high The typical structural configuration : 1m dia concrete columns, 9m tall, spaced 10-15m apart supporting a continuous box structure about 9m wide, cantilevering equally on both sides of the columns. Sky way It consists of a concrete box structure 8.4*2.4m. Carried over a series of piers at height of 9-10m above the road level. In middle roadway it supports by pile foundation about 1m depth. There are no points and crossings. Performance

Financial viability Why Sky Bus saves 50% to 75% in costs
Conventional railway provides for heavy steel
coaches to protect people from derailments and capsizing. So carry more steel and dead weight instead of people.
The capital cost per km is Rs. 50 crores.
The energy in Sky Bus, is used to carry more people than
in Metro Rails, which carries more dead loads. Proposals For Establishing Sky Bus The authorities in Mumbai are sufficiently taken up with the idea to consider setting up a sky bus system on a 9.8 km stretch between Adhere and Ghatkopar.
To the Tamil Nadu Government, has presented a
possible route network between Muthialpet in North Chennai to Tippet in the west — via Koyambedu — and Mahabalipuram 45 km South of the city. Konkani railway corporation would soon begin work on construction of a 1.6 km running track of Sky bus in Goa. Conclusion This research confirms that the advantages of sky bus technology are tremendous. For overpopulated Indian urban areas, sky bus seems to be the best solution for safe, quality, and inexpensive mass public transportation.
Indian state governments and metro city corporations are
waiting for final approval from experts. If sky bus project receives approval by experts for its track tests, sky bus will become the solution for urban public transportation in 21st century, at least for India.
