The proposed straddling bus system aims to alleviate traffic congestion in Indian cities by offering a transit solution that can reduce traffic jams by 20-30% while transporting 1200-1400 passengers at speeds of 40-50 km/h. This electric and solar-powered bus operates on rails, saving energy and allowing other vehicles to pass underneath. Additionally, the system incorporates advanced safety features, autonomous navigation, and efficient charging technology to ensure environmental sustainability and ease of use.

3. Problem Statement
 One of the major problems faced
by the Indian urban cities is the
problem of traffic congestion. A
big concern is how to speed up the
traffic.
 Putting more buses on the road
will jam the roads even worse and
pollute the air.

5. Next Generation Transit System
straddling bus
 The bus can reduce the traffic jams 20%-30% . powered by
electricity and solar energy
 Cost is about 5.36 billion rupees to build the bus and A
40km long path for it, approximately 7% of metro system
 4-4.5m high with two levels passenger boat on the upper
level and 7 m in width while other vehicles lower than 2m
can go
 Laying rails – the rails will be laid on both sides of the road
and the bus can run on the rails and save 30% energy.

6.  Large windows are provided on the both lower
sides so that the illusion of car moving back, is not
created.
 Average speed is 40-50 km/hr carrying 1200-1400
passengers at a time without blocking other
vehicle’s way
 The white lines on both sides of the road and buses
will have auto pilots
 Which will follow these lines and run stable while
moving.

9. CONCLUSION
Traffic congestion is an important problem
in Indian cities. The characteristics of Indian
roads and traffic make the problem
interesting to solve. There is scope for
evaluating existing ideas in different and
challenging traffic scenario.

11. It can reduce up to 25-30% traffic jams on main routes.
Running at an average 40 km/h, it can take 1200 people
at a time, which means 300 passengers per cart.
It can park at its own stop without affecting the passage
of cars. This is what the interior looks like: it has huge
skylight that will eliminate passengers’ sense of
depression when enter.
Two ways to remodel the road: we can go with laying rails
on both sides of car lane, which save 30% energy; or we
can paint two white lines on both sides and use auto-pilot
technology in the bus, which will follow the lines and run
stable.
Straddling bus is completely powered by municipal
electricity and solar energy system. In terms of electricity,
the setting is called relay direct current electrification. The
bus itself is electrical conductor, two rails built on top to
allow the charging post to run along with the bus, the next
charging post will be on the rails before the earlier one
leaves, that is why we call it relay chargin

12. The set here is super capacitor, a device that can charge,
discharge and store electricity quickly. The power it stores
during the stop can support the bus till the next stop
where another round of charging takes place, achieving
zero toxic gas throughout the process.
About the ultrasonic waves put forth from the end of the
bus, that is to keep those high cars or trucks away from
entering the tunnel. Using laser ray to scan, cars get too
close to the passage will activate the alarm on the bus
end. Inside the bus, there are turning lights that indicate a
the bus is intending to make a turn to warn the cars inside.
Also radar scanning system is embedded on the walls to
warn cars from getting too close to the bus wheels.

13. This means that each station will have a conductor arm
that will drag along the roof of the TEB and connect to a
pair of rails, providing power to the bus as it moves
through the station.
The TEB is a completely electric vehicle. The main
engineering challenge would normally the size of the
batteries required to give it a usable range. However,
because the TEB will only be travelling short distances
between station is has been designed to work off a
system of “direct relay charging systems”.
