4. 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

5. Skybus metro: Skybus metro is the new rail
System which consists of an elevated track with car
suspended below the track
What is sky bus?
Heavy 52 / 60 kg/m rails,
8m x 2m box enclosure,
supported by 1m dia columns (15m c/c),
Description:

6. 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

7. Working Principle of Sky Bus
7
•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.

8. Components:
•Sky Way,
•Sky Bogie,
•Sky Coach,
•Sky Station,
•Traverser Arrangements.

Skyway Sky bogie

10. • The skybus requires small sky
stations
• Totally automated without
drivers or guards and access
control is also electronic by
prepaid cards being swiped in
Sky station
• Smaller area consumption,
• Fully computerized – entry by
electronic swiping cards,
• Lifted 5.5 – 6m above G.L

11. 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.

12. 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).

13. 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…

14. 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.

15. • Fast transportation
• No land acquisition
problem.
• No demolition
• No vandalism
•No capsizing
•Tourism
•Low capital and running cost
•Flyover
•Luxury
Advantages of skybus

16. • 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.

17. 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.

18. 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.

19. 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.

20. 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.
