Arrangement of SkyWay track structure over ground provides high safety level

Due to the anchor (every 2-3 km or more) and intermediate (every 40-60 m or more) supports the SkyWay track structure is always located above the ground. Arrangement of the track structure above the ground is essential to reduce the cost of construction, to keep environmental friendliness, as well as to ensure the highest level of safety in comparison to all other modes of transport.

String-rail track structure has no joints and expansion (temperature) seams and is noted for a perfect straightness and smooth curves, that ensures achievement of the highest operational performance of the transport system - high speed, minimum impact stress, low energy consumption.

The basis of the track structure are tension prestressed uncut string rails or a tension prestressed uncut string-truss structure.

The SkyWay rail car (unibus) is a kind of a conventional car mounted on steel wheels. Just as a traditional car, it can be driven by a diesel engine, a gasoline engine, a turbine, an electric motor or a combined drive.

If necessary, the engine can run on natural gas, methane, hydrogen, alcohol and other clean fuels.

In addition, electrification of the rail vehicle is possible with the use of an external source of electrical energy (like a trolley bus, tram or subway). Self-generated power supply can also be used, e.g. onboard batteries, energy storage units of capacitor, molecular or any other type, fuel cells and others.
