    The document describes the sky bus system, a proposed elevated public transportation system. [1] The sky bus would travel along an elevated concrete track supported by pillars above road level to avoid issues with ground-level trains like derailment and collisions. [2] It would use automated sky stations that require only electronic card access with no drivers, and would be faster and use less land than traditional metros while avoiding their safety issues. [3] The sky bus could reduce infrastructure costs compared to metros by 50-75% by carrying more passengers relative to its weight.

    Skybus metro
    General-
     The Sky Bus travels along the road, but at higher level.

     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
    What is sky bus?
    Skybus metro: Skybus metro is the new rail
    System which consists of an elevated track with car
    suspended below the track

    Description:
    Heavy 52 / 60 kg/m rails,

    8m x 2m box enclosure,

    supported by 1m dia columns (15m c/c),


    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
    likederailments, collisions, capsizing and crushing people.
    •Noise free and pollution free
    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.

    •Sky Way,

    •Sky Bogie,

    •Sky Coach,

    •Sky Station,

    •Traverser Arrangements.

    Components
    Skyway Sky bogie
    Sky station
    • The skybus requires small sky
    stations

    • Totally automated without


    drivers or guards and access
    control is also electronic by
    prepaid cards being swiped in
    • Smaller area consumption,

    • Fully computerized – entry by


    electronic swiping cards,

    • Lifted 5.5 – 6m above G.L


    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.
    Strauctural 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).
    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…
    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.
    Advantages of skybus
    • Fast transportation
    • No land acquisition
    problem.
    • No demolition
    • No vandalism
    •No capsizing
    •Tourism
    •Low capital and running cost
    •Flyover
    •Luxury
    • No deaths due to trespassing.

    • Low maintainance cost.

    • interference with normal traffic.

    • can be built on existing flyover.

    • No pollution.

    • Comfort to passengers.

    • No derailment problem.
    DISADVANTAGES OF SKYBUS
    1. It requires skilled labor for maintenance of it.
    2. When the any problem will occur and train will stop then
    very difficult to repair it .
    3. It is more cost able.
    4.To start skybus metro project flyover is required.
    5.It is not suitable for small city.
    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.
    Technology Of Sky Bus

    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.
    Conclusion
    This research confirms that the maximum advantages of sky bus technologys.

    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 tracktests, sky bus

    will become the solution for urban public transportation in 21st century,

    at least for India.
