The United Nations Centre for Human Settlements: String Transport System proposed for Russia

An international project to improve communication infrastructure using the String Transport System is being considered by the Russian Federation. The String Transport System (STS), invented by Anatoly Yunitsky of the research centre UNITRAN, is a rope-and-beam construction using electromobiles with a carrying capacity of up to 10 passengers and 5000 kgs. It receives electric power through the wheels which are in contact with the current-carrying heads of special rails.
