Boarding and disembarkation of passengers at the terminal station

Boarding and disembarkation of passengers at the terminal station is as follows. On entering the hall of the station, a passenger pays attention to the illuminated display panels that go along with each vehicle (display panels are on a vehicle or on the wall in the hall in the form of moving lines), which show the destination station, for example, "Terminal". If the desired destination station is not found, the passenger can board a free vehicle and press the button "Terminal" on the control panel (inside the vehicle). At the motion speed of the moving platform of 0.5 m/sec (with a vehicle "docked" to it) and the diameter of the circular track of 50 meters, passengers will have 0.5-2.5 min. time to board.

After closing the cabin (automatically or manually), the vehicle "detaches" from the moving platform and is passed on to the line by a turnout switch. If for any reason the cabin was not closed, or no one boarded the vehicle, it returns to the second round.

Similarly, only in reverse order, disembarkation of passengers takes place at the destination station. In general, this scheme resembles the scheme of receiving luggage on circular conveyors in modern airports. If necessary, some of the vehicles are sent to the depot located in a separate building or on the other level of the station.
