Significant increase in the number of passengers served
UrbanTwinTrain allows to increase the number of passengers by 2 times in the city general traffic flow without a significant impact on the road situation.
Up to 16,000 people/hour for the city trams in the total traffic flow.
Reduced travel time due to priority traffic at intersections
When a pair of UrbanTwinTrain trams approach the intersection, a traffic light is turned on enabling signal for a non-stop intersection with an advantage over the rest of the traffic.
Reduction of congestion at intersections with increased carrying capacity
Two separate vehicles of large total capacity can move parallel to each other in the same direction. Due to this and the possibility of increasing the intervals between groups of vehicles, UrbanTwinTrain saves space on the road and time to overcome intersections without creating additional traffic jams. The total employment time of intersections during their passage UrbanTwinTrain for other participants in the movement is comparable to the classical scheme, but at the same time, double the number of vehicles is ensured through these intersections.
Сonnection with the suburbs
Due to a decrease in traffic intervals and the absence of a transfer (now the traffic intervals in the suburbs are much longer than in the city so that trams do not catch up with each other due to low speed and a large number of stops in the center).
Pedestrian accessibility of stops with high carrying capacity
Tram stops are located on the land, in convenient places, reduce travel time, increase the convenience and attractiveness of the surrounding real estate.
Relative ease of implementation
UrbanTwinTrain does not require a substantial overhaul of the road land infrastructure, construction of expensive overpasses and interchanges. This is an innovative transport idea.
Economic efficiency. Environmental friendliness
Low cost of integrating and maintaining infrastructure. UrbanTwinTrain initially focused on the Tram and LRT as the most popular and convenient types of urban rail transport (the absence of harmful emissions into the atmosphere, small particles of oil and rubber dust from tire wear). Eco friendly means of transport
Universal application for different types of urban transport
This system works perfectly for all types of rail transport (Trams, LRT), as well as for transport on rubber wheels, for example, BRT, ART.
Improving pedestrian safety and reducing pedestrian flow
Through the use of UrbanTwinTrain pedestrian crossings are unloaded, due to the lack of the need to cross to another platform for landing.
Boarding and disembarking passengers on any nearest platform
The platforms of stopping points operate in reverse mode, in which cars moving in different directions alternately arrive to the same platform.
Uniform loading of wagons in the group
An additional "option" of the UrbanTwinTrain system is the equipment of cars and landing platforms with counting devices that determine and coordinate the number of passengers that are already in the cars and waiting on the platforms. The system independently determines that the emptiest car should be sent to the busiest platform. As a result, the cars in the group are uniformly loaded, excluding cramping or, conversely, low loading.
Possibility of entering tickets without zoning
A single low ticket price for any direction, regardless of the number of stops, encourages to use UrbanTwinTrain. UrbanTwinTrain makes it possible to transfer passenger flows from personal cars, buses, taxis to UrbanTwinTrain, significantly increasing simplicity and convenience of use.
