Passenger Transport

UNICAR

High-comfort vehicle with 2–6 seats. It is driven with a traction electric drive, which is powered by a contact network or onboard energy storage unit, used for driving on urban and suburban routes. The design of the unicar makes it possible to arrange it's specific modules into a single train through a rigid coupling. The number of sections of the train and their capacity depends on the assumed passenger flow. The personalized version of unicar U4-431-01 in tropical version is designed for regions with arid climates and upper-temperature limit of operat...

Passenger Transport

UNIBUS

Single vehicle for 14 passengers with 2 seats. It is used for operation on urban and suburban routes. It is driven with an electric traction drive that is powered from the contact network or on-board energy storage unit. Various modifications are possible on the basis of unibus: a single vehicle of increased capacity with an enlarged cabin, trains based on single vehicles.

01

Low-cost Infrastructure & equitable fares

Kathmandu Podway needs government funding for DPR (Conditions apply ) but does not need funding for construction because our revenue from fares, freight, and advertising is greater than our costs. We have successfully eliminated many costs associated with transportation, such as the cost of materials, land, construction, and fuel. In most cases our projects are financed by various investment banks and private equity firms.

02

Proven Technology

Unitsky String Technology is fully Safety Certified as per standard of Europe, USA and Gulf.

UST transport & Infrastructure Complex can be designed both for operation in freezing climate (down to -60 °C) and in tropical conditions (+50 °C with extension of operating temperature up to +55 °C).

03

Service Quality

Kathmandu Podway provides a fleet of small vehicles that is superior to those used by car or bus. This operating agreement will ensure high levels of availability and reliability, as well as reducing the number of automobiles on the roads. By using pods instead of cars, Kathmandu Podway creates neighborhoods that are pedestrian-friendly and bike-able; this in turn reduces emissions and pollution caused by automobile.

04

Less pollution: Air, Sound, Light, Visual, Water

Kathmandu Podway has created a much healthier and more convenient alternative to the current methods of transportation by eliminating many forms of pollution. Pods are quiet, efficient, and do not produce emissions. In addition, they have minimal visual impact as compared to regular streets and vehicles. Furthermore, utility lines can be hidden within the trackways. As darkness falls, there is no light pollution produced by vehicles travelling

05

More Transit & Fewer Cars

Kathmandu Podway provides the convenience and privacy that people value in cars, yet without the negative impacts of personal cars. Kathmandu Podway combines the best of mass transit and personal transportation modes which will lead to greater use of public transit and fewer cars.

06

De-risking Projects

Kathmandu Podway partners with larger, established firms to carry out the entirety of a project- from designing and constructing the system to running it. This allows Kathmandu Podway to take on all these risks in an effortless manner, while also guaranteeing performance. We work with local construction firms so that people who live in or near Kathmandu can benefit economically from this new technology.

07

07 Jobs and Workforce Development

As a result of the transportation infrastructure project, many new jobs will be created in various sectors. Additionally, as growth occurs due to this investment, additional types of jobs will also be available.

08

Short and Long Term Solution

According to Kathmandu Podway, a rapidly-deployable solution that provides long term benefits can be created within 24 months from the start of a project. The company would be based in and operated by the local community, with at least 80% of profits reinvested back into the region.

Advantages

  • zero accident rate due to the relocation of cargo and passenger traffic to the “second level”, existence of an anti-derailment system, automation of control systems and elimination of collisions with any objects on the route of uPods
  • fivefold safety margin of the overpass load-bearing structures
  • elimination of the negative impact of the human factor and the capability of all-weather round-the-clock operation thanks to automation of passenger and cargo transportation
  • minimization of epidemiological and terrorist threats due to optimized logistics and the absence of crowding in the cabins and passenger stations thanks to the high travel frequency of uPods and the small size of stations and rolling stock
  • high speed and performance of passenger and cargo transportation — up to 150 km/h and up to 50,000 passengers per hour, or 100 million tons/year
  • extensive capabilities of functional and architectural integration of uST complexes into the ecosystems of cities and suburbs, as well as on suburban routes
  • efficient transportation in mountains and across regions divided by wide water barriers
  • minimum land allotment for construction — the supports can be installed in increments of up to 2 kilometers
  • the possibility to erect complexes over residential and industrial buildings, as well as transport and energy utilities.
  • optimizing the number of vehicles on the line in real time, adjusting for cargo and passenger traffic so that rail electric cars are not overcrowded or empty
  • reduced energy consumption and vehicle maintenance costs
  • automation and exchange of digital data between all components of the complex and with the environment
  • integration of various by-products and technologies into the complex — power transmission lines and fiber-optic information cables, advertising space on supports and stations, as well as retail, residential, office and other spaces built into the complex, which compensates for the construction cost and reduces the cost recovery period for the entire Transport Infrastructure Complex
  • low resource intensity of the string rail transport overpass, which is the most expensive and material-intensive part of any known transport system of overpass type
  • the possibility to reduce the material intensity and cost of overpasses compared to other types of overpass transport (monorail, urban railroad, air and maglev trains, surface subway, high-speed streetcars, cable cars) and the underground
  • reduction in operating expenses (OPEX) and return on investment (ROI) due to a relatively low cost of construction and low operating expenses (including through automation of the complex)
  • the possibility to set low fares for travel and cargo carriage
  • preservation of natural landscapes and the possibility to create green areas along the routes by minimizing land allotment for construction
  • minimum carbon footprint and noise level, including minimum consumption of the greenest electric energy
  • no obstacles to wildlife migration, as well as to the movement of surface and ground water
  • minimum resource intensity, including little earthwork
  • visual lightness of the structures — minimized intrusion into the surrounding urban and natural environment
