The document discusses different types of monorails including straddled beam, suspended monorail, and magnetic levitation monorails. It describes the planned Calicut monorail in Kozhikode, India, which would use a straddled beam type due to heavy traffic and narrow roads. The Calicut monorail would run from Kozhikode to Medical College and have 15 stations. It also discusses monorail infrastructure requirements and operations, as well as the mechanical components and examples of monorails in other cities. In conclusion, monorails can help develop transportation and industries while minimizing environmental impacts compared to other transit systems, though the initial costs are higher.

22. From the studies and examples that have been discussed in this
seminar evaluating about all the monorails among the whole world. Its
application only provides the development to various sectors of
industries not only to the civil engineering but also to the mechanical
and electrical engineering fields. And hence by the development of
these modified types of monorails the not only the transportation
facilities are succeeded to the development but also the eco
friendliness, ie the hazards to the nature by these monorails are the
minimum when compared the ordinary transport system of our today’s
life. The small disadvantage is that it is little bit costly for its
implementation in a sudden manner, so by gradual development these
can be overcome and one day it will become one of the best
transportation services ever on the universe.
