Battery Powered and Hybrid Drive Opportunities in Heavy Duty, Large Capacity, People Mover Applications.
Electric and hybrid passenger vehicles are no longer a vision or a trend. Their increasing numbers in our roads today signify a change in the mobility space. Yet, commercial heavy-duty and off-road vehicles have the potential to exceed passenger vehicles adoption rates. The main reason is that commercial heavy-duty and off-road vehicles, in most cases, have a more predictable driving routes and duty cycles. Heavy Duty, Large Capacity, People Mover such of those designed and manufactured by Southern California based Trams International, benefit from extensive vehicle design experience proven by actual vehicle performance and constant heavy-duty usage. Trams International’s methodical application analysis is especially critical when implementing advanced vehicle electrification technologies. By defining, measuring and analyzing the vehicle application, Trams International establishes realistic vehicle performance which in turn also defines viable fleet financial models.

3. What makes it possible to implement a
Battery Powered - Hybrid Drive
opportunity in Heavy Duty, Large
Capacity, People Mover Application?
4. Heavy Duty, Large Capacity
People Mover in most cases,
have a more predictable application
5. By defining, measuring and analyzing the
vehicle application, Trams International
establishes realistic vehicle performance
which in turn also defines viable fleet
financial models
7. One key to successfully implementing
advanced vehicle electrification is having
a sound understanding of the
application’s drive and duty cycles
8. TI People Movers Drive and Duty Cycles
In very simplistic terms…
A drive cycle represent where the people mover is
driven
A duty cycle, is how and how much the people
mover is used
9. Most clean vehicle technologies reach
optimum performance in specific Drive
and Duty cycles
10. Drive and Duty Cycles
A drive cycle represent where a vehicle is used
11. How a vehicle is used takes many forms – Route Analysis Report
16. Speed – Gradient – Dwell time – and Turns!
Starts to paint the picture of a drive cycle
17. Drive and Duty Cycles
A duty cycle, how much a vehicle is used
18. Typical vehicle’s duty cycle parameters
• Hours / shifts per day
• Days per week
• Total miles per measurement cycle
• Typical (average) load profile
• Peak load profile
19. TI’s Electric People movers duty cycle
parameters
• Hours and distance per measurement cycle
• Per vehicle load and GCVW studies
• People mover system capacity
• Duty cycle variances over time from:
o Environmental
o Critical system’s life cycles
21. Tram System Capacity Analysis Methodology
• Determine the weak link of the system
• Calculating for route time constraints
• Assigning operations margin –
the tram system capacity and the greater the probability of even performance
• Selecting and calculating load levels
• Selecting load diversity –
account for load special factors such as wheelchair movements and others
• Final figures of achievable capacity at closest spacing permitted or desired frequency
23. Determining the weakest link
Calculating the capacity of a tram is a complex process because of the varieties of rights-of-way and road conditions affecting the
mode. The basic approach is to find the limiting factor or Weakest Link on the tram path and base the capacity at this point. The
limiting factor for each path could be street slowing or blocked traffic, a section of single path etc.
BI-DIRECTIONAL ROAD
UNIDIRECTIONAL
27. Loading Diversity
Loading Diversity (.80-.75-.60) Affected by Peak Hour Factor (PHF)
• Passengers do not load evenly into trams
• Uneven loading among trailers of trams
• Passengers do not arrive evenly and uniformly
Note:
• The calculations assumes peak times of lower resolution of 60 min
• Station design, station dwell and station constraints are not part of the scope of
the analysis
28. Factors Affecting Duty Cycle
• Availability – Percentage measure of operable and committable state
• Reliability – Probability of continuous operation without failure under stated conditions
• Maintainability – Characteristic of design, installation and operations
• Scheduled Preventive Maintenance Programs
• Unscheduled Maintenance
• Vehicle Parts and Supply Management
• Shop Productivity
• Managing Equipment
• Staff and Fleet Facility Design
29. Worth sharing?
Every mobility sector is being dynamically changed by
the integration of disruptive technologies like drivetrain
electrification, connectivity, data analytics and
automated driving. How heavy duty electric vehicles are
intersecting with these technologies in a way, creates a
disruptive trend. One that Trams International believes
worth sharing its best-practices to benefits all as an
industry.
Good morning……… Thanks to the organizers OF THESE EVENTs and to ALL OF YOU for spending your VALUABLE time here today.
Perhaps YOU have taken a RIDE on our PEOPLE MOVERS… perhaps in the EAST COAST, THE MID WEST, CANADA, THE CARIBBEAN or at far away places… SINGAPORE, VIETNAM OR IN THE BEAUTIFUL RAIN FOREST OF SOUTH AMERICA!
WE ARE TRAMS INTERNATIONAL… we design and manufacture EFFICIENT…….. ROBUST……. ADVANCED PEOPLE MOVERS.
I have 3 goals with my presentation: 1- Communicate the importance of studying vehicle applications, 2- Share a brief overlook of our methodology, 3 – Making your time worth listening to me and advancing our industry’s knowledge base. There are more slides in this deck that those I can spend time talking about. However, I hope that when you download the presentation from the conference you will find it useful because it stands on its own. So, for many of them, those that serve as outlines, I will just click right over to the next to spend few more seconds on others that drive my goal number 1
So…. What makes it possible to implement Battery Powered - Hybrid Drive opportunity in Heavy Duty, Large Capacity, People Mover Application?
What makes it possible IS THE more PREDICTABLE APPLICATION!
The meaning of the word PREDICTABLE: behaving or occurring in a way that is expected
in a way that is expected! NOT BY GUESSING BUT BY
DEFINING, MEASURING and ANALYZING
So what DEFINING, MEASURING and ANALYZING really is…. Is a methodology!
FOLLOWING a well developed methodology is especially critical when implementing advanced vehicle electrification technologies!
Not because electrification technologies are difficult to implement, require more extensive design, or are troublesome in someway. It is critical because at the center of wanting to design an electric vehicle is having a profound desire for attaining the maximum efficient possible
READ SLIDE… why related, both terms have different meanings

READ SLIDE
Why we care to understand drive and duty cycle… because it affects components and technologies selection
So lets’ discuss Drive an duty cycles ….. READ SLIDE
How a vehicle is used takes many forms – Route Analysis Report
Explain a typical People mover application
The data needed to be extracted from a drive cycle is in most cases needed for an specific goal
In this case, can we improve capacity without greatly affecting time
Other times such in this case of Scheduled stop service… NEXT SLIDE
There can be several layers of data on top of each other… NEXT SLIDE
One example of this approach is to to normalize or adjust the data to eliminate units of measurement, making data easier to compare to other data from from the same route or other set of data from different droving cycles with the intention to get closer to real-life driving cycles and not necessarily a particular driver behavior.
The dashed line in the graph represent such a normalized data sample
Once all the analysis is completed… the data set is truly useful and it become the foundation for many critical design decisions…. the greatly simplified table in the slide is the summary of an intensive data analysis performed for a future highly advanced people mover.
Worth sharing… a big dilemma for a company that works all the time in stealth mode… READ SLIDE
To end with the same idea I started my presentation… We make People Movers electrification possible by carefully analyzing the vehicle’s application in consideration to its drive and duty cycle. By applying our proven methodology that has produced successful people mover’s deployment all over the world, many with over 20 years of service… we believe that when our methodology is applied to battery and hybrid people movers, the opportunities of having Zero Emission Vehicle at other environmental sensitive sites is immense!
Thank you
