Trackless trams surpass buses in passenger carrying capability, along with a smoother, superior passenger experience. Trackless trams use existing roadways, integrating with established transportation infrastructure like bus stops and road networks - they don't need overhead wiring.

2025年1月28日 · Trackless trams could be a catalyst for regenerating the city suburbs. Watch to learn more about what trackless trams are, and how they can make way for sustainable transport.

In Atlanta, Georgia, trolleybuses, generally called trackless trolleys there, were a major component of the public transportation system in the middle decades of the 20th century, carrying some 80 percent of all transit riders [1] during the period …

The trackless trolley is an electric vehicle, a development of streetcar technology. It has the same electric propulsion system as a streetcar and thus it also draws its electricity from overhead wires.

Harness the power of trackless trams for emission-free urban transportation and urban transformation.

2020年12月23日 · An emerging alternative to traditional light rail, known in the English-speaking world as trackless trams, has been under development for a mere five years by the Chinese high-speed-rail authority – and yet is already operating in three cities there.

ABSTRACT: Trackless trams are a Chinese innovation that provide net zero op-portunities, which are also transformative for cities. They have not yet been used outside China. They are battery-based vehicles with sensors that guide them down roads and have rail-like ride quality with potential to carry the equivalent of six lanes of traffic.

2024年6月27日 · Trackless trams offer an alternative mid-tier transport option to more established technologies such as bus rapid transit (BRT) and light rail transit (LRT), incorporating facets of high-speed rail into an autonomous, tram-like battery-operated vehicle.

Essentially trains on rubber wheels, they offer a middle ground between quick (but costly-to-implement) light rails, and cheaper (but less comfortable) buses. Like a light rail, a trackless tram follows a devoted lane and a predetermined path, but its route follows “virtual rail” lines.

Built competing lines blocks away, created legal obstructions, vandalized each other’s tracks; even rumors of a duel. Hurt’s Atlanta Consolidated Street Ry ultimately merged into Atkinson’s Atlanta Railway & Power Co, forming Georgia Railway & Power (GR&P). Top: A streetcar on the #5-Highland/S Pryor line.
