 Why cant there be a passenger car on railway track? If car's tyres are supplemented with a parallel steel tyre exactly as broad as a railway track i think people should be able to drive on railway tracks. Changing tracks might be problematic so i would sugget a WI-FI based navigation solution to avoid collisions and to steer the vehicle. Driving would be as easy as pressing a few buttons and sleeping off. There would be great savings in fuel.... Anybody to co-author patent application?? ha ha ha Haha, that's quite clever, mechanically there is absolutely no reason, in fact hy-rail systems have been in place on railroad work trucks and inspection vehicles for decades. Changing tracks is not in the least problematic, they use the exact same system of movable track switches that trains use. A wi-fi system is not workable though, it takes a very sophisticated system of on track sensors to tell exactly where a train is, satellite navigation is not accurate enough, for instance it can't with any degree of accuracy tell if a train is on one track or the adjoining track 8 feet away. However, operationally is a completely different story, you cant just get off the rail whenever a train comes along, you have to go to a crossing. The idea is totally not workable, capacity is already stressed in most rail lines, you honestly think they would stop or slow train so you can go tootling around in your personal automobile?? Railroad tracks are private property. |
