Ultra Light Rail Smart Transport Innovations – Project STEAM Ultra

该项目的目的是重新设计现有的动力传动系统和动力传动系统，使Parry People Mover Class 139轻型轨道车通过零碳，超低噪音排放，零颗粒物质排放的混合动力系统提供动力，该动力系统将甲烷发动机与传统布局的转向架框架内的飞轮结合起来。这种智能运输，下一代传动系统和动力系统将建立在目前的混合动力技术上，该技术利用丙烷发动机和飞轮，如下所述。该项目将寻求将公交车运输中现有的甲烷发动机开发转移到智能运输，轻轨车，通过测量塞文山谷铁路轨道上的现场环境中这种混合动力系统的安全性，效率，噪音和碳/颗粒排放以及功率容量，为铁路行业生产“首个"零碳，超低噪音排放动力系统。该项目旨在通过现场轨道测试，展示智能交通超低噪音、零排放轨道车对铁路工作人员、轨道和车站旁居民以及轨道车用户的好处。该项目将由Ultra Light Rail Partners Ltd（ULRPartners）管理和监督，该公司是资金申请人，Parry People Movers Ltd是在Stourbridge，Black Country，West Midlands运营的现有轻轨车的设计师和制造商，并利用研究工程专业知识来管理和监督本投标中描述的测试阶段和工作包。

Ultra Light Rail Smart Transport Innovations The aim of this project is to redesign the existing driveline and powertrain within an operational low carbon /zero particulate emissions Parry People Mover Class 139 Light Railcar to become powered through a zero carbon, ultra low noise emission, zero particulate material emissions hybrid powertrain combining methane engine with a flywheel within a conventionally laid out bogie frame. This smart transport, next generation driveline and powertrain will build on the current hybrid technology which draws on a propane engine and flywheel as described below. The project will look to transfer existing methane engine developments within bus transport into a smart transport, light railcar to produce a 'first of a kind' zero carbon, ultra low noise emissions powertrain for the rail industry by measuring safety, efficiency, noise and carbon / particulate emissions and power capacity of this hybrid powertrain within a live environment on track at Severn Valley Railway. The project will aim to demonstrate through live on track testing the benefits to rail crew, track and station-side residents and railcar users from the option of smart transport ultra low noise, zero emission railcars. The project will be managed and overseen by Ultra Light Rail Partners Ltd (ULRPartners), the funding applicants, with Parry People Movers Ltd, designers and manufacturers of the existing light railcars operating at Stourbridge, Black Country, West Midlands, and drawing on the expertise of research engineering expertise working to manage and oversee the testing phases and work packages described in this bid.
