Parry People Movers Tram-Train Creating a vehicle as attractive as an electrified super tram with much lower running costs using lightweighting and innovative super hybrid technologies

Parry People Movers有轨电车；创造了一种创新的低碳交通方式，取代了现有的重铁和电车模式。摩根大通Parry and Associates项目管理并创造了“139级”Parry People Mover有轨电车，这是其前身。在2009年建立的国家铁路网上进行了为期七周的首次采用运营，这些创新的轨道车辆提高了服务频率，同时减少了三分之一的碳排放和一半的运营成本。PPM车辆率先提出了一个目标简单的新概念，使当地铁路服务更负担得起、更可持续，在该国被认为不需要提供铁路服务的地区，PPM车辆能够实现节能的铁路旅行，并带来许多好处。这项技术还可以增强已经投入运营的服务的可持续性，正如西米德兰兹郡的Stourbridge所证明的那样，尽管寒冷的天气使全国各地的许多重型铁路车辆瘫痪，但该试点服务在2010年全年的可靠性达到99.4%，并在2011年前几个月继续提高这一数字。现在的挑战是利用这项成熟的创新技术，即一个2.3升的小发动机与一个飞轮相结合，能够以更快的速度驱动一辆能够运载更多乘客的更大的车辆。这些标准对于回应英国铁路行业的需求以及创建一项能够重新开放客运服务的服务至关重要。目前仅用于货运的铁路是复兴客运服务的直接候选者。为了适应这些情况，JPM Parry and Associates必须提高设计的导轨质量，以应对这些线路上常见的不太完美的轨道条件，同时确保设计满足监管规范的“互操作性”，即创新的轻型车辆在传统列车中运行的能力。

Parry People Movers Tram Train; creates an innovative low carbon transport alternative toestablished heavy rail and electrified tram modes. JPM Parry and Associates have projectmanaged and created the 'Class 139' Parry People Mover Railcars, its precursors. A seven daya week first adoption operation on the national rail network, established 2009, has seen theseinnovative railcars increase service freqency whilst cutting carbon emissions by a third andoperating costs by half. Spearheading a new concept with a simple aim, to make local railservices more affordable and more sustainable, PPM vehicles enable energy efficient railtravel, with its many benefits, in parts of the country deemed not to warrant a rail service. Thetechnology can also enhance the sustainability of services already in operation, as proven atStourbridge in the West Midlands where the pilot service has achived reliability of 99.4%throughout 2010 and continued to better this figure during early months of 2011, despite thecold weather disabled many heavy rail vehicles all around the country.The challenge now is to harness this proven innovative technology, whereby a small 2.3 litrecar engine coupled to a flywheel enables the carriage of up to 60 people, to power a largervehicle capable of carrying greater numbers of passengers at a higher speed. These criteria arevital in order to respond to demands from the UK rail industry, as well as to create a servicethat can re-open passenger services away from the existing franchised network.Railways currently used only for freight are immediate candidates for a revived passengerservice. To be suitable for these circumstances, JPM Parry and Associates must enhance theride quality of the design to cope with less than perfect track conditions typical on these routeswhile ensuring that the designs meet regulatory specifications for 'interoperability', the abilityfor an innovative lightweight vehicles to run amongst conventional trains.
