摘要
机械式导轨公共汽车系统是以公共汽车车辆为运营载体,在其前轴后安装小型、水平方向的导轮,并配以混凝土导轨,使导轨段内水平方向的导轮与导轨弥合而达到导向及前进的效果。机械式导轨公共汽车最高车速可达100km/h,单向小时断面最大流量可达4500人次,还能如同常规公共汽车一样进入普通道路上行驶。其既具有常规公共汽车的弹性及适用性,又能依靠"轨道化"提高运营的品质及服务水平,已得到很多城市的青睐。介绍了典型城市如澳洲的阿德莱德、日本的名古屋及英国的剑桥郡等的机械式导轨公共汽车系统,并全面分析其功能、结构、运营方式及效果等。
The principle of KGB (Kerb Guided Bus) is similar to that of rail transport. Train is running on the rail, but KGB is a bus system with small guide wheels, which are mounted on a J-beam bolted to the back of the front wheel of bus assembly. When the bus is steering on the concrete guide-way, the guide wheels will engage the vertical kerbs on either side of the track. The joggle between guide wheels and guide-way can direct the way, offering stable and reliable running of the bus. This innovative system not only has the flexibility and general applicability of a normal bus, but can also improve the opera- tional quality and service levels relying on "tracklization", thus has been welcomed by a number of cities, especially in Germany and UK. With an introduction of the classic cases of KGB, such as in Adelaide (Australia), Nagoya (Japan) and Cam- bridge Shire (UK), the performance of the KGB system, in-cluding functions, components, operating mode and operational efficiency are systematically analyzed.
