Electric Driverless Bus Rapid Transit
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is a mass transportation system that operate in 166 cities around the world, and in some of them – it is the backbone of the public transportation. You may find it in every continent – from Buenos Aires to Calgari, from Paris to Washington, from Chengdu to Ahmedabad, Jakarta to Helsinki – Millions of people every day are mobilized with BRT systems.
eLinkAir develops technology for a new mode of Public Mass Transportation:
Electric, Driverless, Bus Rapid Transit – EDBRT
- Capacity like Underground Metro
- Cost -15% of Underground Metro, or 30% of Light Rail Train
- Fast implementation
- Less Use of Land
- Much less maintenance costs.
- Quiet, efficient and emission free.
ED-BRT is best efficient with Dynamic Charging (As opposed to existing Static Charging). Dynamic Charging for rubber–wheeled vehicles is based on ERS (Electrified Road System) –overhead transmission lines deployed above dedicated lanes for public transportation:
- No need for large, heavy & expensive Batteries
- No need for Charging Depo’s
- No need for expensive Fast Charging Stations
- No lost time or extra operation in charging
- Proven, regulated infrastructure, fast deployment.
In-Motion-Charging with TCC – The only Cost-Effective way to charge a busy e-BRT!
- All other options are not feasible or un-sustainable economically.
- Infrastructure for IMC is an investment for 30 years ahead.
- EV heavy batteries have limited lifetime of up-to 10 years max.
- Maintenance of IMC system is easily offset by saving 10% electricity vs. BEV.
- Full batteries (Plug-in Depo) or Panto charging reduce fleet capacity and efficiency.
