The great Indian Puzzle.

Image
The great Indian Puzzle:  own technology to save every single life in land transportation, decongest cities and roads, save fossil fuels, avoid painful land and property acquisition, all weather system, eliminates modal split and seamlessly integrates for both cargo and people, more importantly financially viable, proven and cleared by Government in 2005 itself BUT ignore  and continue to keep doing infrastructure development with century old technologies, proudly too, to add insult to injury, causing tears to land and property owners, spending four times more but unable to achieve any positive result, cities remain congested, floods can shut down cities, accidents keep killing people and losing heavily public funds in terms of subsidising losses since famously these are not financilayy viable. Isn't it height of stupidity or lack of integrity in engineers for misguiding their governments? How history will judge, only time will tell    

In 2005 RITES International Published detailed description for the SKYBUS Rail technology

SKYBUS RAIL : The unique disruptive rail technology of this century.

It is yet to hit experts of railways , that an innocent simple reconfiguration of railway technology elements in 2004 and and World’s First run on Sept 15 2004 of Skybus in Goa,  (    https://youtu.be/TzFH26E6eto  )   actually ushered in a mile stone, which I myself did not realize full implications at that time.   Many centuries of derailing, capsizing and colliding railways which we had been using with expensive mitigating measures, suddenly becomes obsolete.  Even in 2022 there are are hundreds of incidents in the world even in the most advanced railway systems and human lives lost. In 2005, once dynamic tests confirmed safety and more comfortable running of Skybus Rail, the entire world railways stand obsolescent.  To say the 175 year old , evolved highspeed rail too now , is obsolete is shocking . But matters of fact stare at any rational person, to gloss over.  https://drive.google.com/file/d/134GMH5pLrNkvhrXROIhQJvksdDtfeb6u/view     Current serious global warming challenge is e

Skybus Rail tech can transport people, cargo, military tanks in Himalayan ghats..typical example NH7 Dehradun to Badrinath temple and beyond !

Image
  Badrinath temple in Himalayas of India is at 3300 m elevation. The tools available in Skybus Rail tech are traversers, turntable, lift functionalities. No fixed signals. The entire track is well protected against snow obstructions. Please see in the previous post more details and videos about Skybus Rail . Here pictorially a preliminary feasibility report is made how to locate the traversers , turn tables and lifts .  Generally between Joshimath to Badrinath within 45 km from 1845 m to 3300 m reached..about 30 m per km rise. That means between 30 to 45/ traverser lifts of 30m lift capacity , so that Skybus is never allowed to climb at steeper than 1 in 150 slope .Actual field investigation needed. But the implication is at least 20 to 30 sec additional time added in the run.  Between Dehradun to Destination turn tables of the order of 30 to 40 expected. So Assuming a total of 100 of traversers, additional 50 to 60 min need to be added to running time.  The Skybus units have very high
