About: RailCab

An Entity of Type: Band, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

RailCab is a research project by the University of Paderborn, Germany. Its purpose is the examination of the use of linear engines for the propulsion of autonomous, rail mounted vehicles. Similar to the Transrapid the coaches are moved by linear motors, which have a very low need for maintenance. In contrast to Transrapid a magnetic field is only used for acceleration, the vehicles run on wheels on tracks. This concept allows for modification of existing conventional railway tracks.

dbo:abstract
  • Das RailCab (auf Deutsch in etwa Schienentaxi) war ein Forschungsprojekt der Universität Paderborn und des Heinz Nixdorf Institutes, das die Nutzung von Linearmotoren zum Antrieb von autonomen schienengebundenen Fahrzeugen erforschte. Es ähnelt dem gescheiterten Projekt Aramis der Pariser Verkehrsbetriebe. Mehrere kleine Fahrzeuge sollten auch elektronisch gekoppelte Konvois bilden. (de)
